2015 Wranglers Bull Sale by Venture Livestock

Wranglers 13th Annual Bull Sale

Sunday, April 12, 2014 at 3:00pm Gainsborough, SK

Welcome

Welcome to our 13th annual Wranglers Sale. We thank you for your past support and invite you to study the catalogue and drop in to view the bulls anytime prior to the sale. As you go through the offering, you will notice cow families and the same genetics of sons sold in past sales, now their half sisters are raising the next generation of herd bull prospects. As seedstock breeders, the genetic decisions that we make are just as important to the success of your operation as they are to ours and your feedback is always welcome.

We have talked about change in the past and a huge change recently was the passing of our friend and partner Don. Our Hereford/ Angus debates over a couple of wobbly pops were always educational and very entertaining. These great times will be missed. Please jump in your car and join us April 12th. As usual supper and hospitality will follow the sale. The Wranglers look forward to seeing you sale day!

Please join us after t he sale for a beef on bun supper. ULTRASOUND CARCASS MEASUREMENTS - AVAILABLE SALE DAY Rib Fat/Backfat: An external fat measurement taken between the 12th and 13th rib. Reported in inches. Rib fat is the main trait that affects percent lean meat yield ie; A1, A2, A3, & A4. Percent lean meat yield is the calculation that estimates the percent of lean muscle on the carcass. For example, a lean meat yield of 60% on a 1000lb carcass would have 600lbs of lean muscle and 400lbs of bone and fat. Ribeye Area (REA): An area measurement of the loin or ribeye muscle. Reported in square inches. While an increase in backfat will lower the percent lean meat yield an increase in REA will raise the percent lean meat yield. Rump Fat: An external fat measurement taken from an image collected between the hooks and the pins of the animal. Reported in inches. The rump fat measurement, coupled with the rib fat measurement will increase the accuracy of percent lean meat yield.
