Late December 2025 brought elite Brahman genetics to the desert for the annual Arizona National Livestock Show, and BRC Shake Rattle Roll 703 rose to the top. Brock Sartwelle, a junior Brahman exhibitor from Texas, captured Champion Brahman Heifer honors in both the open and junior Brahman shows.
A Champion with a Proven Pedigree
BRC Shake Rattle Roll 703 carries a pedigree built for both banners and breeding. She is one of the first daughters of BRC Geronimos Cadillac 230, and out of BRC Under Lucky Stars, a mating designed to blend eye appeal with maternal strength and longevity. That blueprint paid off in Phoenix, where she impressed for her balance, femininity, and overall quality.
Adding to the significance of the win, Shake Rattle Roll 703 was a sale feature of the BRC 2025 Night of Champions Sale, hand selected by Brock himself for a junior show heifer. Brock carefully went through all of the heifers in the sale and selected this one for his choice.
Bred Through Collaboration
This standout female was bred by Finley Bros. Cattle Company through our ongoing collaboration—an example of how strategic partnerships continue to elevate Brahman genetics nationwide. The result is cattle that perform under the lights and deliver where it matters most: consistency, structure, and future value.
Judged by the Best
The Arizona National’s reputation is built on credible evaluation, and 2025 was no exception.
- Junior Show Judges: Chris Mullinix
- Open Show Judge: Matt Copeland
Their selections reinforced the caliber of competition and the merit behind this championship win.
A Prestigious Western Stage with National Reach
The Arizona National has long been a cornerstone event out West—showcasing cattle that reflect the region’s ranching heritage while still drawing a nationwide competitor base. Winning here speaks to versatility: cattle that can compete anywhere, under any set of judges, against the best from across the country.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Brock Sartwelle on an outstanding accomplishment and to all involved in bringing BRC Shake Rattle Roll 703 to this milestone moment. From thoughtful breeding and collaboration to a championship performance in Phoenix, this is what happens when great genetics meet great stewardship.
