COX EXCALIBUR and our Production Partners want to welcome everyone to our 16th CX Advantage Sale. We are blessed as breeders to be in a Great Breed of Cattle, and to watch the demand for cattle grow around the world. Looking back over the last 35 years of Cox Excalibur being in the cattle business, I don’t think I have seen a better time to be in the cattle business and especially Red and Black Brangus. The demand is not just for BEEF, but also our Breed of cattle. Breeders around the world are catching on to these cattle that will grow on grass in hot, humid, tropical climates, where the largest percent of cattle are in the world. Breeders and cattleman are also noticing how well these cattle grade and perform. Selling pounds of beef that can marble will produce a product that the customer and packers are demanding. Brangus and Red Brangus fit that demand. Take a close look at how the cattle are scanning with ultrasound and with the majority of our cattle coming in with the right size ribeye area (REA), high intramuscular fat (IMF) and very low back fat (BF). These traits are hereditary and impor - tant to the growth of our Breed since the marketplace is demanding tenderness and high quality CX Legends Dream 3/B1 beef.
Cattleman are beginning to realize the importance of the Brangus cow especially in the hot humid climates where the majority of cattle are raised. With the growing population around the world and the demand for beef growing, that has kept prices high and probably going higher. The seed stock business has always bene - fited after a herd reduction and we have been seeing that in the demand for bulls and the prices being high - er than normal. Even the prices for heifers have risen with new and old breeders wanting more of our genetics in Red and Black Brangus from Mexico, South America, South Africa and Central America. We encourage you to stay focused on breeding better cattle, and collecting data to support your program. Starting with better cattle and genetics always makes it easier to be successful. Don’t be tempted to fill your pasture with numbers, fill it with quality, it will pay you more in the long run.
Over the last 35 years we at Cox Excalibur are thankful for our repeat customers and the new breeders selecting us to help them get started in Red Brangus. A new addition to Cox Excalibur is we are now offering our Black Brangus customers a choice on genetics we have been developing and breeding for over 20 years. We have fol - lowed the Black cattle for years and are determined to breed and develop some of the best genetics possible. Our customers in South America look at Brangus as Red or Black. José and I work hard to produce cattle that grow on grass and will perform. José loves the cattle and believe me he knows what cattle work for our cus - tomers. José has helped build Cox Excalibur into a ranch that has sold cattle in 10 countries and many of those customers are repeat customers.
That is what is important to us, we want our customers to be successful and be repeat customers for our new genetics. Your success is our success; we hope you find the cattle you are look - José Ramirez and Family ing for at Cox Excalibur and in the CX Advantage Sale 2018.

Selling six (6) CX Elite Embryos by of the most sought after Sire in Red Brangus, CX Legends DREAM 610/U1 the three-time Show Sire of the Year bred to CX Ms Home Run 59/Y . The full sibling to these embryos won Reserve Grand Champion Female at the 2018 IBBA Futurity. The combination of CX Home Run 135/P and the CX Elite Donor, CX Ms Payload 59/S has proven to be one of the best breeding combinations of all time at Cox Excalibur. When we review our CX Herd, the 59 cow family along with the 135 and 610 families rate at the very top of our cattle in over 35 years of breeding. If you’re looking to own genetics everyone is wanting to buy, don’t leave this sale without owning these six embryos. Look at it this way, if you get the national average of a little better than 50% pregnancies, these six embryos should give you three calves which if you tried to buy would cost you from $7,000 to $17,500 each. Interests in the Champions have sold for up to $35,000 each. You do the math that would mean these six embryos bought below $21,000 would be a great buy and give you a foundation that would be hard to reproduce without these proven genetics. Selling six (6) Elite Embryos already in the tank and ready to implant.

Selling six (6) CX Elite Embryos that go back to Cox Excalibur Proven genetics from the ‘80s and ‘90s and still today are still some of the top genetics at Cox Excalibur Brangus. The 610/U1 Sire is well known for his Champion Genetics which two of his sons have won two out of three, International Grand Champions in 2016 and 2017. Both his sons were the Champion of the World for North America a very prestigious accomplishment. Those awards are judged by four International Highly Respected Judges from four different countries. We are proud to have bred and own these highly accepted Sires and now we are giving you the opportunity to own some of the same genetics. Also in these pedigrees are two of the foundation Herd Sires Cox Excalibur used to build our herd back in the ‘80s and ‘90s with CX Paymaster 54/J and El Cid 52/U5. CX is still using these two Herd Sires in flushes hoping to build on the great success they both gave us in our foundation cattle. Again we are offering one of our Top Elite Cow families, the 957 family, bred to our #1 Herd Sire 610/U1. Another opportunity to help a new breeder use 35 years of proven breeding or even a seasoned breeder to add genetics that have proven in the pasture and in the show ring around the world. Calves out of these genetics have sold for up to $35,000 so if you can get three pregnancies out of the six embryos we are selling, you will make a great buy under $25,000. With inventory on 610/U1 not available except to CX to flush, these could be some of the last embryos ever to sell. Selling six (6) Elite Embryos already in the tank and ready to implant.
