Proven show genetics

Hot Flash was purchased from Tadmore Farms in Caldwell. Her maternal grandsire, Hot Commodity, is an easy-calving Shorthorn bull known for producing winners. Her dam is from the Ten Queens family, also recognized for producing winners. Her sire, TMF Cabrera’s Tribute, was raised by John and Barbara Russell and was runner-up show bull in the region.

She has the disposition to suit a family and the potential to keep showing. Her owners believe she can transition into a breeding herd by December 2027.

questions answered.

What type of cattle are we selling?

We currently serve U.S. buyers and ranchers, beginning with commercial and registered cattle in Texas.

How does the auction process work?

IMB Auctions follows a monthly sale schedule, with catalogs released 14 days before each auction.

What influences cattle value and prices?

Cattle value is influenced by breed, age, sex, weight, condition, genetics, pregnancy status, health records, market demand and the quality of the information supplied for the lot.

Can anyone buy cattle on our auction?

Yes. U.S. residents age 18 or older may bid after completing registration, verifying their details and speaking with an IMB Auctions team member.

Are cattle cheaper at auctions?

Buying cattle online through IMB Auctions can be more cost-effective because it reduces the overhead and travel costs associated with attending an in-person sale.

What if the cattle does not meet the reserve?

If bidding does not reach the set reserve price, the lot is passed in. Following the auction, the platform facilitates contact between the seller and the highest bidder to see whether they can negotiate a private sale and finalize the transaction.
