It’s always amazing to see how far they come in such a short time!

2 months ➡️ 13 months

This polled bull has turned into a real stunner and we couldn’t help but reminisce as the fall show season will be here before we know it! 🤩

Lot 13 may be the hardest to part with tomorrow. Take a look at his pedigree, and you’ll understand why.

BCC Mr. Smokin Houdini 265/4 offers an exciting opportunity to acquire a true herd builder for both red and grey breeders. Houdini is one of the few direct sons by +Lady H Emma Manso 288/2, a legendary cow in the Brahman breed who has produced an International Champion, National Champion, and numerous other winners at the highest levels of competition, resulting in her probable #1 ranking for Grey Brahman females in the register of renown. His sire, +TJF Smokin Gun is the most prominent red sire of modern times, with the value of his semen reaching over $20,000/straw based on the superiority of his offspring. Houdini was shown on a limited basis as a calf, winning his class multiple times and being named Reserve Calf Champion at the 2024 HBBA Fall Classic Open Brahman Show. Houdini is square made, big topped, bold ribbed, moderate framed and stylish in the way he is designed.

We’ve shared bulls and donors… now a look at the strong set of heifers selling as Lots 1–11.

BCC Lady Kenzie, Lot 8, has quickly become an early standout:

She is level topped, pretty fronted, balanced and maternal through her center body. Like a few of the other lots, she's sired by LB Mr CR Earle Manso 214/5, a top +JDH Elmo Manso son out of a +CT Lady Rhineaux Ray 8/9 daughter who was the Calf Champion at the 2018 All American. Kenzie's dam is a top +Mr Wi******er Magnum 999 daughter purchased from Heritage Cattle Company as lot 1 in their show heifer sale many years ago. This is a front pasture female if I've ever seen one - don't miss BCC Lady Kenzie!

Since posting our sale preview, we’ve had a TON of inquiries — Which two PROVEN donors are selling this Saturday? Today the videos were posted, so it's time to reveal:

Miss V8 404/7 (+Mr. V8 901/4 x +Miss V8 410/6)
Miss V8 490/7 ((+)JDH Karu Manso 800 x +Miss V8 464/6)

Two cornerstone females that helped build the foundation of our ET program. Pedigrees that Brahman dreams are made of. Over the past 5–6 years, they’ve produced show winners, high sellers, and the kind we’ve kept to move our herd forward. More information on each can be found under their individual images.

So why are they selling? We’ve been fortunate to raise an outstanding set of young females over the past few years, and the donor pen has gotten crowded. With a strong bank of embryos already frozen on each of these donors, their influence will remain in our program for years to come. This is a rare opportunity to access proven genetics we’re not letting go of lightly.

These females are aged, but far from done. They sell guaranteed to work in IVF and still have plenty of production left. Open and ready to aspirate, with a strong IVF track record, while being managed conservatively.
