SALE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The terms of this sale are governed by the laws of the state of Texas. Any amendments or updates, as posted on v8ranch.com or dvauction.com, supersede the contents of this catalog. Upon the conclusion of the auction, a separate sales agreement, including any additional terms, will be sent to the buyer for signature.

VIDEO PRESENTATION

Each lot is featured in a video, available for viewing on dvauction.com, providing a comprehensive visual of what's on offer. The video also includes a commentary on each heifer to offer additional insights into their characteristics and potential.

PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

The accepted forms of payment include cash, check, or bank wire. Payment is required upon receipt and must be settled before any animals are transferred from V8 Ranch. Upon receipt of full payment, registration papers will be transferred to the buyer. Failure to complete payment within 14 days of purchase can result in forfeiture of the animal, which may then be sold to another buyer upon written or electronic notice.

FEEDING TERMS

The heifers are currently housed in our show barn, and fitting charges of $20/day begin immediately. If the new owner chooses to transfer their heifer into our development program, they will receive complimentary feed until December 1, 2023. From December 1, 2023, onward, a charge of $8/head/day will apply. Our charges are necessary to cover the cost of providing toptier care and nutrition for your cattle. Any veterinary expenses incurred will be the owner's responsibility. All accounts will be billed monthly, and feed charges must be settled in full when the cattle are picked up.

HEIFER VIEWING

Currently, the heifers are being halter-broken at our show barn and are available for in-person inspection by appointment. This opportunity allows buyers to evaluate the animals directly and understand their temperament and potential.

HEALTH

The cattle are eligible for an approved state health certificate for interstate shipment within the USA. Buyers are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the health requirements for their respective states. The animals have been meticulously cared for and have been vaccinated under the guidance of our veterinarian. They are presumed healthy at the time of sale. However, no guarantees are provided for health requirements for exports outside the USA.

LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

The buyer assumes immediate ownership and all associated risks, including injury, disease, or death, at the conclusion of the online auction. Insurance coverage is mandatory for any animal housed at the show barn. This coverage is available through Shelia Jensen of Jensen Livestock Agency, who can be reached at 785-374-4372.

FEMALE GUARANTEE

Females sold in the sale come with a veterinary certification of health and soundness, which is available upon request. They are guaranteed to be natural breeders for one natural calf, though this is not an all-encompassing insurance policy. Any circumstances of injury, death, poor management, or nutritional issues are not covered. The breeding guarantee is void if the heifer is not in a suitable body condition score to breed, if she is flushed or IVF'd before having a natural calf, or if she is exhibited at livestock shows. Buyers must inform us of any breeding issues by January 1, 2026. In case of any such issues, the buyer is obligated to return the animal to V8. We will then have a 6-month period to validate the breeding capability of the animal. In case the female is found to be a non-breeder, V8 will either select a suitable replacement or offer a sale credit for future purchases at V8. Cash refunds are not provided.

EMBRYO FLUSH

V8 Ranch retains the right, though may not exercise this right, to perform one embryo flush at the buyer's convenience, yielding a minimum of six grade one transferrable embryos. All costs associated with the embryo flush will be covered by V8 Ranch. All embryos obtained from V8 Ranch's flush will remain the sole property of V8 Ranch and are not for sale. Furthermore, V8 Ranch retains ownership of all DNA cell lines of animals sold in this sale.

HALF-INTEREST FEMALES

Lots offering half-interest females are subject to a specific sales agreement that details the partnership between the new buyer and V8 Ranch. For selected half-interest lots—explicitly noted in their footnotes—buyers have the option to double the purchase price to acquire full ownership of the female. Potential buyers interested in purchasing a half-interest female are encouraged to contact us before the sale. We will provide a copy of the partnership agreement for your review before any bidding or purchasing takes place. Open communication is paramount to us, and we strive for a successful and mutually beneficial partnership.

EMBRACING THE MAGIC

JOIN US

FOR MADE FOR MAGIC VIII Welcome to Made for Magic VIII, where we proudly celebrate the rich diversity of the Brahman breed - a celebration that echoes our enduring commitment to excellence at V8 Ranch. As I always say, “the magic is in the cows.” These heifers embody a spectrum of Brahman magic - different phenotypes, unique outcross pedigrees, and even varying colors. Among them, a true standout: a daughter of the late “Pathfinder,” an exceptional female who stands as one of the finest ever to grace a Made for Magic sale. Her presence is a testament to the caliber of cattle we hope you’ll always find here. Our customers often tell us their V8 females get better with age, and these heifers will undoubtedly follow that same trajectory. We eagerly anticipate witnessing their progress because, for them, their best days are ahead. At V8, we believe in Brahman cattle and the people who raise them. It’s not just a

statement; it’s the essence of who we are. We’ve built a legacy over decades, guarding our reputation and cherishing the trust our customers place in us. Your support, friendship, and loyalty fuel our drive to maintain the standards that have defined us for generations. When you invest in V8, you invest in a tradition of enduring excellence. It’s your trust and unwavering support that inspire us to continue delivering exceptional cattle and service, just as we have for generations. We look forward to welcoming you to our front pasture for our in-person Ranch Social on October 28th, after the sale. This represents our first in-person ranch gathering since the pandemic. It’s time to spend time together again and experience fellowship with Brahman breeders. Just as we believe in the heifers’ best days being ahead of them, we also firmly believe that in the Brahman breed, the best days are yet to come.

HERE’S TO WEAVING MORE MAGIC TOGETHER. Best regards,

Jim Williams

OUTCROSS

A few years back, our family purchased some J.D. Hudgins females from our cousin Lana Jo, with the goal of adding them to our V8 donor group. Among them was this heifer’s mom, a young daughter of National Champion +JDH Mr. Manso 840 “The Graduate.” We loved her phenotype - it reminded us of the V8 style. Over many years, blending V8 and JDH genetics has been part of our success story, and this heifer is the perfect example. She brings the best of both worlds: the attractive profile, length of body, style, and balance that we strive for at V8, along with the beefiness and bone that JDH has bred into their cattle for years. Just as we’d hoped!

Sired by who many consider the breed’s top sire, +Mr. V8 146/8 “Sloan,” Miss V8 791/9 is deep-ribbed with an easy fleshing look. “Sloan” broke International Show records being the only Champion to win three years straight. Watching his offspring over the last few years has been a thrilling experience. He consistently delivers the best calves on the ranch and shows a reliable ability to produce high-caliber cattle. When pedigree allows, he’s our first choice for most of our females - and that’s not going to change anytime soon.

However, when another heifer took weaning a little too hard, we made the tough decision to include 791/9 in the sale instead. The only reason we even considered parting with her is that her dam is still alive, and we can flush her back to Sloan once again. While it’s bittersweet for us, it’s a unique opportunity for her new owner to acquire this exciting blend of V8 and JDH excellence. GROWTH & MATERNAL EPDS CED 4.92

UNLOCKING

THE MAGIC OF THE OUTCROSS

V8 Ranch has always been home to powerhouse cow families, bred and shaped here to define our legacy. But there’s also a unique group of females that arrive here, sourced from trusted ranches. Names like +Miss Priss, +Ms. Claydesta 203807U5, +JDH Marri Holly 50/6, and +JDH Ms Water Manso 239 were new blood brought in from other ranches, and they ascended to stardom—now enjoying matriarch status. When you see the term “outcross” under the cow family, here’s what it signifies: We scrutinize these outside females for phenotype, delve into their pedigrees, and consider their performance records. Once mated with our elite V8 sires, these females help create something truly magical. In Lots 1 and 4, you’ll find females that offer a distinct but equally promising path to excellence. For a female to produce a Made for Magic heifer is no small feat; it’s indeed a prestigious arena. These heifers must meet the same rigorous standards as those born from our core family legends.

JDH LADY MANSO 263/1 Dam of Lot 1

This is especially significant for V8 collectors. If you’ve been building your herd from our core families, these outcross females offer an exciting opportunity to diversify your genetics while keeping the V8 brand on their left hip as a seal of quality.

Miss V8 799/9 is the latest masterpiece from the celebrated Sloan x 380 cross. She’s a three-dimensional female with plenty of depth of body and presence. She’s ready to turn heads, and already has - we’ve declined several international offers to purchase her prior to the sale. We look forward to the opportunity to campaign this female in our V8 showstring for the next couple of years. +MR. V8 458/7 +MR. V8 146/8 “SLOAN” She’s pure power, just like her mother.

She +JDH SIR AVERY MANSO also is the dam of the 2023 Reserve Calf Champion Female at Houston +MISS V8 879/6 and our herd sire, Mr. V8 814/8 “Black Diamond.” JDH LADY LA BELLE MANSO Miss V8 799/9 exemplifies our newest genetics, sired by Mr. V8 891/8 ‘Pathfinder.’ Tragically lost this summer, Pathfinder leaves behind a limited yet extraordinary legacy. Positioned as our premier son of Sloan, his semen will be exclusively reserved for in-herd use. One look at heifers like 799/9, and it’s easy to see why.

Certainly a sale feature, Miss V8 800/9 is a full sister to Tate Barnes’ many-time winner, Miss V8 443/9. True to V8 tradition, Miss V8 443/9 started out impressive but just kept getting better with time, now with a picture-perfect udder (a trait we see in our “Sloan” daughters) and a standout calf at side. We see youthful promise in this heifer, confident that her best days are ahead, just like her siblings. +JDH MR.

She rose to worldwide prominence when her daughter, Miss V8 472/9, “Magic,” sold for a record-setting $150,000 and was the 2022 Reserve National Champion, a win we shared with Walters Livestock.

If we numbered our sale lots by who is the sale feature, we could start here. The result of breeding the National Champion +Mr. V8 322/8 to the International Champion Miss V8 824/8 is exactly what we hope for when we mate two champions to one another. Quality to spare. The Noble x 380 cross has been a great one at V8 and this heifer’s dam, Miss V8 824/8, is one of many young donors we have with this pedigree. Choosing what to mate these females to has been an exciting challenge, and judging by this heifer, 322 could be the golden ticket. Miss V8 824/8 was the 2020 International Champion for us and GKB Cattle, and this is her first progeny to be offered. With 824/8 being out of the National and two-time International Champion +Miss V8 21/8 “Boom Shaka Laka” female, she offers a little different genetic profile for those that like to target different bloodlines. You’ll remember 21/8 as one of the top daughters of +Mr. V8 380/6 and she is out of an International Champion 901/4 daughter.

High on the list for donor cow potential, this female has a tremendously soft maternal look with a striking presence. She is very sound and flexible on the move; we think she will make a top cow. Her dam, Miss V8 442/8, was a Reserve Division Champion at the National Show and has already made her mark with a Made for Magic daughter, Miss V8 280/9, that sold to Ki Cattle Company for $65,500. Sired by +Mr. V8 191/7 and out of +Miss V8 696/6, her pedigree is rich: a maternal half-sister, Miss V8 483/8, was the 2019 National Champion Female.

The Miss Priss cow family at V8 has a legacy spanning over 40 years. This is our largest and oldest cow family, and its staying power is nothing short of monumental. Over the decades, her lineage has accumulated an impressive array of accolades: 12 females in the Register of Renown, the only V8 Vanguard female, and 2 Register of Renown bulls. Miss V8 803/9, represents the sixth generation from this remarkable family. She encapsulates why the Miss Priss family is not just historically significant but also remains at the forefront of Brahman genetics. With over 2,500 animals tracing their pedigrees back to Miss Priss, this family isn’t just part of our past; it’s vital to our future.

The good, black polled cattle just keep coming. As we’re rebuilding our polled program with the goal of having polled cattle from each of our cow families, identifying cattle of quality from each group has been exciting. At the heart of this revival is a standout: Miss V8 973/7, a dark pigmented, scurred female and one of the only mature polled V8 females we had when we started this journey a couple of years ago. Miss V8 973/7 (P) is a female we could build an entire polled program around. With her phenotype and pedigree, she’d already qualify for donor female status; being polled is simply the icing on the cake. Her dam, the Powerstroke daughter +Miss V8 14/6, has been a recognizable V8 silhouette for decades. A +14/6 daughter, +Miss V8 775/7, produced the 2021 International Champion Female. Being sired by +Mr. V8 380/6’s polled son, Mr. V8 135/7 “The Butler,” Miss V8 973/7 promises to make waves in our program - starting with this smooth polled heifer.

Suva Crat 225 has done a fantastic job for us, consistently meeting our high standards in surplus. Every time we flush to him, he delivers exactly what we’ve come to expect: cattle with dark pigment, eye appeal, and gentle dispositions. These offspring carry the level of quality we demand at V8, making them highly marketable.

Despite being the youngest in the sale, this heifer has never had a bad day. With her level top line, deep body, and impeccable breed character—including ideal hump placement—she’s a very balanced and eyecatching female. As we’ve watched her mature, we find ourselves in a familiar situation that always comes around Made for Magic time – we’re hesitant to let go of her entirely. As such, we are offering one-half interest. Owning half doesn’t mean half the benefits; it means sharing the potential of this special heifer. This fancy young female will no doubt catch the attention of as many people as any and will cause you to dream of the possibilities. Catch the black fever! GROWTH & MATERNAL EPDS CED 5.01

THE EVOLUTION OF A 50-YEAR DREAM:

THE V8 BLACK LEGACY CONTINUES

V8 Ranch is no stranger to innovation and vision. Last year, we turned a half-century dream into a reality with the introduction of our V8 Black Brahman line. The enthusiasm has been nothing short of magical, and we’re just getting started. The first V8 Black female, Miss V8 554/9, set the bar high, selling for $105,250 for half-interest. She was followed by Miss V8 762/9 (P), who also captivated the field, selling for $67,250 for half-interest. Now, we present Lot 6: a smooth-polled dark pigmented gem, Miss V8 841/9 (P). Like her predecessors, she carries the promise of becoming a cornerstone in the emerging legacy of V8 Black cattle. While many have ventured into breeding black cattle, our females harness the unrivaled legacy of the V8 cow families. Whether through their direct lineage or their potential as future donor dams, they’re set to work their magic in both our herd and yours. The interest in our black Brahman line is expanding, and we are fully committed to this dream, which offers untapped potential for future herds. When you invest in Miss V8 841/9 (P), you’re not just buying a heifer—you’re partnering with us to lay the foundation for the next chapter of V8 Black excellence.

A VIRTUAL MULE RIDE

A NEW WAY TO EXPERIENCE V8 RANCH

While we’d love to have you visit the ranch to see the sale heifers in person, we understand that not everyone can make the journey. For those who can’t, we’re bringing the ranch to you with our heifer commentary videos.

JOIN JIM FOR A VIRTUAL MULE RIDE

Picture this: you’re riding with Jim in the mule, feeling the wind on your face as he drives from pasture to pasture and shares the stories about each heifer. In reality, Jim sits at his desk, inside his home at the ranch, sharing these narratives through our Heifer Commentary Videos. Simple yet effective, these detailed videos about each heifer—their history, their pedigrees, their distinct traits, and their breeding potential—have become a favorite amongst both V8 enthusiasts and collectors.
