Cache Creek Cattle Co., NE
Owned by:

His name says it all. Chain Reaction
is the result of consistent genetics
being passed on from one generation to the next dating back to Eye
Candy and Naughty Pine. He was
one of the highest selling club calf
bull prospects of 2012 commanding
$67,000 for 3/4 interest! He possesses many of the same qualities as
his predecessors yet in a refreshing
unique package. Sound structure,
unbelievable hair and above average
bone make him a sure shot to produce what the show cattle industry
demands. His mother hasn’t missed
in 3 years... he’s no accident!

Every once in a while a bull comes along
that creates an impact and Sugar Rush
after being displayed in Denver showed
the world that he is what everyone has
been waiting for! Combining Walks Alone
who needs no introduction with a full
sister to the ever popular Eye Candy truly
created a genetic masterpiece! He is built
with such explosive power yet remains
soft middled and sound with great bone
and a big foot. He possesses an incredible
amount of hair which is no surprise given
his pedigree. This is one that will be a
“cow changer” and we recommend using
him on females needing to be powered up
that could also use added bone mass and
hair. The stage is set and he holds a very
bright future so make sure to be a part of
what is to come!

Take a close look at this Fast Freddy
son and you will notice he carries
and extremely wide based build and
an incredible amount of shear power
and stoutness through his hip and
top. This bull comes to us out of the
very first calf crop from his sire and
proves the consistency of Trausch
Farms genetics. He has a shot more
Maine in his pedigree which enables
him to produce registerable calves as
an added bonus. Definitely a refreshing breeding piece that offers an
ability to add performance and power

This smokey Eye Candy son we feel is
what our sire line-up has been needing
in order to offer our customers what they
have been asking for. He was by far the
best Charolais influence bull in the yards
at Denver this year and became very well
recieved. This is a bull that will produce
those colored cattle that are becoming
popular to sell and with an outcross
mother it enables him to be bred to a
larger variety of pedigrees. Structurally
correct, stout featured and of course has
the Eye Candy hair which all together
makes him a very well rounded package.

this son we feel could be his successor! His pedigree gets even better
when you analyze his mother coming
from the famed Hoo Doo operation.
Sound as you can design one yet
he carries an impressive amount of

most complete bull on display. Big boned, big footed, motley faced, and super hairy and loads of
style. What more could you want in a bull? His dam is truly a diva among prominent donors at
Larry O’Kief’s. He has mated this great donor to all the industry favorites, but Jawbreaker is the

PIlLOW TALK
The blonde bombshell. Cattlemen from all walks of life fell in love with 90 Proof in Denver 21012.
He is just so eye appealing. He possesses the great ability to produce great show calves as well
as awesome replacement breeding stock. With that show steer look, 90 Proof was such a hit with
everyone who saw him, that ABS picked him up right away in Denver. “This one should make the
slick shear steers we need in Texas” as said by a reputable cattle producer. While another cattleman from Wyoming said, “he is more interested in the females his bull could produce.” This bull
just hits all aspects of the cattle industry. Whether it’s breeding cattle or show worthy livestock we
feel this dual registered individual brings a lot of quality to the table and will produce the right kind
for todays times.

Park Farms club calf bull sale and it was for a good reason... he is not like anything else on the market when you
analyze his build. His mother is a purebred Maine cow
originating out of Canada with a different pedigree than
you will find anythwere else. If you want huge bone and
foot size with hair that will hang off every inch of your
calves, then this is a must use sire for your herd. Not to
mention that every calf out of him is a paperable MaineTainer. He is tested double clean and has a 72lb. birth
weight! We feel he is a bull that lots of our customers have
been looking for us to provide them, so here he is. We
expect great things from this one!

We are so excited to be part of this bull.
We feel he fits perfectly into our current
bull lineup with impeccable genetics.
He offers so much mass, hair and bone.
Hulk is a son of the popular Smilin’ Bob
X the great WAG Hairietta cow. No doubt
his dam probably has more prominent
son’s out there in the club calf vull lineup
than any other Who Made Who in the
country. Smilin’ Bob also has great cow
power behind him as well with Foxy Moxie. With these two great females behind
him, this bull is sure to produce powerful
calves both steers and heifers. We highly
recommend use of this bull with confidence.

Blueprint’s mother was a standout show
heifer for Winegardner’s and so has
Blueprint since he hit the ground on the
coldest day in Ohio. Blueprint has 2 of
the hottest pedigrees behind him in the
club calf industry with Breathe Easy and
Eye Candy. So with that being said, we
feel Blueprint is going to be a sure bet
with his cool look and balance that he
possesses. Mate your cows to Blueprint

Finally a TH Free & PHA Free bull that can show you the power! His calves
come with lots of hair, bone and mass. Hired Man quite possibly might be the
one we all have been waiting for. To top it off, we have seen quite a few baldy
calves out of him. Hired Man calf reports have been between 85 to 95 lbs. and
are very consistent. Hired Man works great on Heat Wave and Heat Seeker
cows, as well as Angus and Shorthorn cows. We’ve found that using Hired
Man on those shorter spined cows that need to be powered up seems to be
working the best. He has sired many great bulls and show calves across the
country and his calves have topped a lot of sales. There is no where to go but
up with this bull. He is definitely living up to his reputation of being one of the
great sires.

Chore Boy is the first son
of the popular Hired Man. It
didn’t take long for Hired Man
to show us his progeny power. Chore Boy was constructed from a purebred Northern
Express Angus female. This
bull should follow in his sire’s
steps and pass on big bodies, thick, stout, sound and
unbelievable hair. Just like
his sire, Chore Boy is TH and
PHA free. It is hard to find

This bull is huge footed and
big boned for being double

good hair as well. His sire
is an Ali out of Smilin’ Bob’s
mother called Big Dog that
has been a very consistent
producer for Gartens in
Kansas. If you are looking
for a consistent bull with a
different twist to pedigree this
one will raise show cattle that
are easy to sell all day long...
he’s already proven that!
Semen: $25
Frank is a moderate framed Irish Whiskey son out of a world
class cow similar to Hairietta. This bull should be a no miss
for anyone. Frank’s first three calf crops have been high
sellers across the country. He is so very consistent and
the no miss genetics that fit very well into club calf herds.
Frank will add bone, power, and mass that will work well on
your TH Carrier cows as he is TH Free. We love this bull and
know you won’t be disappointed in what he can do for you.

A bull all of us have been waiting for. His dam is the $82,000 valued record-setting top seller of the 2005 Frozen Gold Sale. She is a foundation
Habanero X Draftpick cow that surpassed the $150,000 mark in sales. Northern Ice has a sister named PUPS Dream Girl who is one popular young lady
and already off to a good start in her early career with a Tyson heifer who
sold for $6,000 this past fall and a flush that sold for $7,2000. Northern Ice
calves come small, with vigor and grow rapidly. What a calving ease bull in a
TH free and PHA free package whose calves become stout, hairy and sound
that can be sued in clubby, maternal or commercial herds. He will produce
progeny that will work and be profitable. Show’em, sell’em or keep’em - you
won’t go wrong. Did we mention proven?
“We used Ego Trip exclusively on first calf heifers and had
nine calves. 6 calves sold for
show prospects for an average of $2,800. 2 calves have
been retained as replacement
heifers and only 1 calf went
to the sale barn. This year
we used Ego Trip on all our
first calf heifers and so far
Semen: $25
have had ten calves and birth
weights have ranged from 55-75lbs. Ego Trip will

If power is what you want, welcome to the Gun

Bailey (Whasssup daughter). He is a full sib to the
Vickland heifer sold in our 06/07 sale that was a
many time champion for them and went on to be an
integral part of their herd. This combination does
not miss and Truth Hurts proves that yet again.
This bull offers so much power, muscle, hair and
bone. He is a sure bet, count on it!
This bull just may be the one we have been
expecting Hired Man to produce and it’s no
surprise. Hired Man breeds so consistently,
he was sure to produce a son even better
than he is. And, we believe this is the one
of several. He is big boned, sound moving,
huge hipped and freak necked. Combine
that with loads and loads of hair. The bull is
natural and this picture was taken just five
days after he was weaned out of the stock
field. He has a wonderful disposition and I
just can’t say enough about this bull. He’s
just that inmpressive.

were all very marketable, nothing went unsold,
with a $3,500 average of the cow. His mother

This simmental bull is destined to be a breed changer. Cookie cutter calves is a term we associate with Muhammad’s calves. His progeny are long fronted with tons of hair. This TH & PHA Free bull is being used by
many breeders with carrier cows from border to border. Plus, he’s a great out cross for Dream on genetics.
Muhammad has sired the Grand Champion Pen of Three Percentage Heifers, 2007 NWSS and the Reserve
Grand Champion Pen of Three Percentage Heifers, 2008 NWSS. Muhammad’s daughters are making awesome
cows, with beautiful udders, consistent birth weights and style to burn. This bull can do it all, from the show

Here is an Angus bull that is too good to be true. We find he works real well on 2 year old females and
also has the ability to make very marketable, complete steer calves. His calves have topped sales across
the country in the past few years. He is one of the most used purebred Angus bulls in South Dakota.
This bull puts a big foot, bone and loads of hair in his calves. Cowboy Troy has been a very successful
part of the Trausch Farm breeding program, as well as many top herds across the country. Finally, here is
a Purebred Angus bull that has the ability to make show steers on clubby cows.
