KEEP THE FAITH
TAG TEAM X ML 915 (Try Harder x 666)
When we lost Blow Ur Mind this winter, Emma and I set out to buy the best buck kid we could find to not only try and replace him, but to continue to push our program towards the top.
When Kevin called and said he thought he had the one we needed, it didn’t take long to make the 12hr trip south. A few days later the details were finalized and “Keep The Faith” was heading north. We are excited to announce this partnership with the Mock family!
While most of the industry is following trends and heading towards “common ground”, we present “Keep The Faith”. Kevin and I have always had similar taste in livestock, and have always been drawn to the ones that truly push the limits. “Keep The Faith” is the most unique creature to step foot at Mock Livestock, let alone to hit the show goat industry. “Keep the Faith” comes from one of the deepest flushes to date at Mock Livestock, producing a $10,000 wether, $18,000 doe kid sold at the EXCLUSIVE, and a sister that is destined for the donor pen.
Study the picture and video, this one is truly a Unicorn. Cracked open in his chest floor, rounder in his cage than he is shallow, while the length of his blade still being the shortest part of his body. FAT BACKED, massive in the width to his hip, pin set and stifle and STOUT featured, huge in his arm, big paws, shaggy legs and sound and athletic in his build.

FIRST BASE
NOT TONIGHT X Mini Heat 2 x Hiccup
First Base was our pick of Stork Livestock’s 2021 buck kids. This is the FIRST Not Tonight Son to hit the market! Uniquely bred, sired by one of the hottest bucks to ever hit the industry, his bottom side is as proven as proven gets and his phenotype is unlike any we have seen! This one checks lots of boxes we think are show-ring critical moving forward while phenotypically complementing many of the lines we’ve been working with. He runs uphill with an incredible look from the side, has a very high neck set, and is flawless in his neck-shoulder-topline transition. He should add width and power throughout while maintaining flex, and should help fix shoulder, knee, & front foot placement issues. He’s 3-Dimensional through his cage yet still maintains a wide-shallow chest floor. First Base shares the same dam as Turner Matkin’s very good 2nd place Wether at San Angelo in 2020, and “Losers Weepers” working at Jade Livestock. We’re excited to add him to the Kempker/Mock buck line up.

DADDY ISSUES
BLOW UR MIND X "PORCHES"
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID X COLT X WRANGLER
“Daddy” as we call him around the barn is undeniably the most unique creature to hit the ground at KL. We sold half to Bounds on his fever trip and boy are we glad we did and that “Daddy” didn’t make the trip to Angelo!
“Daddy” like his sire pushes the limits of width, density and raw muscle shape while being extreme in his look and presence. His handle is perfect, body cavity is rounder than it is deep and his Neck is longer than his blade. HUGE in his shape, pin set and stifle while remaining pliable off both ends of his skeleton!
Backed by a track record of success and genetic power, “Daddy” came from an incredibly deep flush that resulted in a set of future donors and the 5th Overall Wether Dam at NAILE.

BLOW UR MIND
WISH IN ONE HAND X HUTTO 175 X PAY DAY
“Blow Ur Mind” has been a standout from very early on and was a favorite of visitors this past summer. “Blow Ur Mind” is the most unique young sire we have created and his build truly pushes the limits. Phenotypically, he comes at you with a stout chest and forearm, he is extreme in terms of muscle density and shape while still remaining pliable and correct off of both ends of his skeleton. His handle and presence, like him, are next level.
Genetically he is surrounded by a track record success, Wish in 1 Hand needs no introduction and his dam “2” produced the Reserve Wether at the 2019 Rodeo Austin and a really popular wether at San Antonio for the Wimbish family that same year!
Check out the pictures, come by the house, we can promise this one will “Blow Ur Mind”.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID X HUTTO 175 X PAY DAY
Contrary to popular belief, Safe and Average don't have the same meaning. Sometimes taking the safe route, the best bet, or staying inside the lines equals better overall results, so we present, Safe Place, the buck that can be taken to a wide variety of females no matter their type or kind. He will always generate high quality, sellable livestock. This one will see a great deal of use on females that need to be more correct in their build and maybe a touch more genuine in their skeleton. Safe Place balances up extremely well and will be the go-to sire to correct structure. While remaining round bodied, attractive and muscular we feel it to be of great advantage to utilize a buck combining such select capabilities. The first crop out of SAFE PLACE was the MOST PROFITABLE and HIGHEST QUALITY set we have ever assembled at Kempker Livestock. Wethers produced from a buck of this quality will no doubt earn their place in the front row and I would hate to put a value on the caliber of females he will generate. 4th Overall Wether Champion D2 @ KANSAS STATE FAIR & 5th Overall Wether Reserve D1 @ KANSAS STATE FAIR!

SAFE PLACE
WHISTLE X ONE MAN'S TRASH X FACE THE FACTS
INSERT HERE
SAFEWORD X SHOOTER X 175 X PAYDAY
INSERT HERE" first set of wethers averaged $3500 and made a set of doe kids running around at our place that have been the talk of most visitors. Genotypically speaking he is backed by two of the hottest bucks in the industry and his Dam 427 is a Flush mate to the mother of (2016 Champion Wether at Oklahoma State Fair, 2017 Reserve Champion at OYE, Morgan Livestock's Captain Morgan). Phenotypically he demands your attention, having an athletic build, while possessing the sheer power and mass from the top side of his pedigree. “INSERT HERE” is massive racked, perfect in his hip-loin junction, huge hipped and busted open at the base of his skeleton. Use INSERT HERE to make them hairier, more robust, and bigger and squarer legged!

SAFE WORD
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID X GATOR X SHE SAID'S MOM
Sired Grand Champion & 4th Overall Wether @ 2019 Kansas State Fair, 3rd & 6th Overall Wether at 2019 AKSARBEN and 4th Overall doe at Kansas! Double shot of She Said's mother!(dam of the Grand Champion 2015 San Antonio!). He has a massive rack, huge hip, and next level body dimension. The closest resemblance in look and build to “That’s What She Said” He combines extreme power with a pliable skeleton and great presence. “Safe Words” first crop has been nothing short of extraordinary. The report from across the country has been great. “Safe Word” like his sire “That’s What She Said” is changing the game in terms of adding rib shape and mass throughout while still keeping there offspring shallow, BIG backed and built right. Safe Word kids have been extremely popular this spring/summer averaging over $5,000!

SO CLOSE
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID X GATOR X SHE SAID'S MOM
Double shot of She Said's mother! (dam of the Grand Champion 2015 San Antonio!). Uniquely shallow bodied, tall shouldered while still remaining powerful and 3 dimensional. We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to acquire “So Close” from Maycon before our 1/2 interest purchase of SafeWord with the plan to use him extensively on our original doe base to make them shallow bodied, harder handling and better built. Needless to say he did everything we expected in his first crop and his offspring rival our SafeWord sired kids in terms of mass and handle! With that being said “So Close” earned a large part of our donors this fall. “So Close” will make them tall shouldered, built correctly through their neck and shoulder, adding hard-square backs creating offspring that are very complete. We believe “So Close” works on a wide variety of does to make highly sellable show wethers!
