Raise the Standard
Spring Bull Sale
February 22, 2024
Welcome to Sexton Cattle’s “Raise the Standard” bull sale featuring progeny of SXTN Empire 6S25D, Gateway Follow Me and Tracken Norman . We greatly appreciate your time to look through our ChiAngus and Chi offering and invite those interested to attend our open house February 17-18, 2024.
Lot 1 “HMB” Hold My Beer is a Follow Me son out of a Monopoly cow that is an absolute beast. So stout, super hair, and super athletic. Along with “HMB”, this year there are a few more advanced aged bulls….all were raised and bred to get rid of problems, not create them. Starting at nearly 10% Chi blood and reaching over 29%, this group opens the door for a wide variety of breeding options for any cattlemen.
Empire is a high percentage ChiAngus bull who has laid the foundation to leave his legacy on the breed. At 20.37% Chi, he does a great job of making cattle that are going to be useful regardless of which avenue is your focus. The calves come with that extra shape and consistent style designed for today and tomorrow’s beef industry. To quote Dustin Hurlburt, CEO of the Chianina Association on a recent herd visit – “We looked at Empire-sired cattle from a week old to replacements in the heifer pen to first calf heifers with babies at side…they are good footed, smooth jointed, heavy muscled sound cattle.” Tracken Norman is a former National Champion that has performed really well in multiple herds throughout the nation.
SXTN Empire semen is collected and housed at Nichols Cyro Genetics and available through Cattle Visions.
Thanks again for your time and viewing.

Lot 1
SXTN MR FOLLOW ME 2S58K ET aka HMB "Hold My Beer"
WOOFDA! When good friends get together and someone is about to instigate a task that is beyond epic and memorable, it often times is preceded by the phrase “Hold My Beer”. Those that have already seen him since he was little have felt that kind of magnitude in his charisma and athleticism. As the video shows - plenty of stretch, plenty of mass, plenty of design, plenty of fluid in his movement, joints are sound, hair is long, size is right and oh those fuzzy ears! The Follow Me cattle have been full of substance and look. The 910Y cow of Willow Springs has been mass producing very top end females for a very long time. Actual BW 86lbs, Adj WW 837. 9.93% Chi, 16.50 REA, 6.3 IMF, 38.5 SC, DSC, THC. Retaining an in-herd semen interest.
You need to see this one - HMB is an absolute beast. This ain’t no guessing game!
Lot 2
SXTN MR EMPIRE 3S14L
This March yearling Empire son comes from a tough line. A full brother is working in a commercial herd in IA, walked out of an F4 tornado last March. After the house yard and then the bullpen took a direct hit, they pulled a spike out of his tailhead and he was ready to go again... Another brother is working hard for a good Angus customer in IL. This guy is ready to roll with the big boys, super temperament. Top 15% for the breed in WW, top 2% for milk. Adj WW 737. 14.45% Chi, 12.17 REA, 2.16 IMF, 35 SC.
Lot 3
SXTN Empire 2S17K
For someone with a big group of cows and a big pasture to cover, this one will play the field. He will NOT wait for them to come to the stock tank and the shade tree or make you wonder how many he missed; he’ll be out talking them into the idea and then on to the next one. This guy moves really well for a big bull. Top 5% for the breed in WW and YW. 10.15% Chi (ChiAngus), 17 MREA, 2.96 IMF, 39 SC.
Lot 4
SXTN MR EMPIRE 2S65K ET
For those looking for a higher % ChiAngus bull without the extra extra frame, this 16 month Empire son could be the ticket. We thought enough of him that we ran him on this year’s set of fall replacement heifers, so he already comes experienced and ready to get back to work. Top 10% of the breed for WW, YW and Milk. Actual BW 83lbs, 18.18% Chi (ChiAngus), 13.9 REA, 2.41 IMF, 36 SC.
Lot 5
SXTN MR EMPIRE 2S66K
Here’s another age advantaged Empire son that moves really well, full of meat and ready to cover a large group. 3 dollar plus feeders will make this an easy decision. Top 4% for the breed in WW, YW and Milk. 16.11% Chi (ChiAngus), 14.60 REA, 2.13 IMF, 36 SC.
Lot 6
SXTN MR TRACKEN 2S59K ET
When pounds = $$s, it is most easily generated by length of body and this fall yearling, Tracken Norman son will get that done. When we are looking at $3.00 plus feeders, and $2.00 fats or more, it becomes essential to get that added structure into a calf crop. His 15 year old mother is still working and doesn’t look a year past 9. Top 10% of the breed in CED & CEM. 29.02% Chi (ChiAngus), 14.80 REA, 2.22 IMF, 35.5 SC.
Lot 7
SXTN MR TRACKEN 2S61K ET
Full brother to Lot 6. Again this Tracken Norman son will get it done. Added structure and length to compete in this super hot feeder and fat market. Dam is 15 years old and going strong. Top 10% of the breed in CED & CEM. 29.02% Chi (ChiAngus), 15.00 REA, 35 SC.
