Each year, I feel it’s imperative for us to start off the Female Sale in an exciting way. It’s important for me to offer something that’s unique and proven, that hurts to let go of. A cow that embodies the type and kind of cattle that NIO strives to produce, and that will provide a sure-fire rate of return for whomever takes the chance and owns her. This year, we offer the donor cow who produced the Highest Selling Bull ever created from the Niobrara Red Angus program. Like most, we waited on Six Mile Kassie 535F to prove herself to the point she warranted replication in volume. Her story began back in 2018, while attending the Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, Saskatchewan. Six Mile Ranch was having their Genetic Focus sale in the stalls that year.
Studying the offering with a fine-toothed comb, I landed on the 6-month-old heifer calf, 535F. With a completely outcross pedigree from the Peak Dot Unanimous bull and a dominant Bar-E-L cow backing her, 535F was a deep, dark red, big bodied, very sound structured young heifer that I believed was hard to put a hole in. Fast forward a couple years, bred to Nova, she ends up raising the phenotypic phenom named NIO Mojave 2029. That year, prior to Hollywood, he was the Highest Selling Red Angus
Bull in history, with a hammer price of $210,000. Sold to Sandridge Land & Cattle and Six Mile Ranch, both outfits recently sold Mojave’s first sons in their own respective bull sales. Having achieved that enormous accomplishment, we knew we had to put 535F into the flush program. At the time, she was bred back with her second bull calf, NIO Sabotage 3202,
which sold as a crowd favorite that next year in 2024. Averaging 8 frozen embryos on 4 conventional flushes, she did a fine job for us while in ET. With her first ET heifers born in 2024, we end up offering one of them here in the 2025 Red Redefined sale as Lot 33. If you’re looking for an outcross Red Angus female, proven with a herd leading production record, that’s in the prime of her life and just getting started… Kassie 535F or “Mojave’s Mom” might just be it.
Sells Open & Ready to Flush. Offering 50% Embryo Interest. Possession Negotiable.
