At Core Farms, the heifers we offer for sale are the result of a program with predictable genetics and matings. We feel the true test of success of a sale is not just when one heifer from the sale goes out and does great. REAL SUCCESS is when LOTS OF HEIFERS go on to do really well!

We are very proud of the results from last year's sale. We would like to congratulate our customers on their success and let them know we appreciate their efforts in doing a great job of managing their purchases.

Thanks everyone to your acceptance of our show and sale cattle at the Iowa Beef Expo ’06. The Highlights are listed below:

Champion and high selling High% Maine-Anjou heifer. Bought by Katie Braun.

Champion Maintainer bull.  Bought by: Ryan Hounlos

We also had 4 class winners and a 2nd place in class

Thanks to all of our recent Bull buyers. Our Denver Bulls averaged
4800.00 on seven sale bulls and one private treaty

Special Thanks to:

- Mark Ray and Phil Lautner for purchasing
"Tyson" a purebred Maine bull sired by Ali out of a full sister to Hard
Core's mother. Look for him in future ads. He is a rare combination of
being a purebred that is moderate, extremely thick, sound and soggy
combined with the calving ease benefits of Ali. This couple with the cow
power descending from the great Sweet Checks cow make him a logical
choice for a variety of A.I programs

- Barkers from Utah for purchasing Bailey's "Mr. Tuition" out of the
Denver sale. A top 10 selling bull he is going to a great home and we
wish the best of luck. He is a Ali son out of a Collins/Brumbaugh bred
Habanero daughter that was division champion at the National Junior Show

-Gene Ostler from Utah for once again purchasing one of our top Denver
bulls. This one is a Dr. Who out of a Magic cow. A full brother to last
years National Champion Chinana Female (Junior) as well as Iowa State
Fair champion Maine Female. The Ostlers are not only good customers but have become great friends! Thanks Again
