elcome to the 2018 Canadian National Shorthorn Show & Sale being hosted by the Manitoba Shorthorn Association. We are all excited by the quality of offering that has been put together to showcase the Shorthorn breed. Every category is headlined by exciting up and coming standout Shorthorn genetics.

This year we have on offer three very strong herdsire prospects , with the pedigree and performance to back them up. The bred females whether they are young cows or bred heifers, you have to be excited about the potential they have to offer as future brood cows. The calendar year heifer calves always garner a lot of attention and these young ladies will definitely fit your program, either as part of your show team or as future maternal power in the cow herd.

You are invited to join us for both the show and sale. If, however, you are unable to attend , please contact any of the sales staff via their cell phone or online and we will be pleased to help.

Yours truly, Don Savage

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the National Shorthorn Sale at Ag-Ex 2018 on behalf of the Manitoba Shorthorn Association. We are truly honored to be hosting the National Shorthorn Show at Ag-Ex this year. The show has been steadily growing each year in numbers and quality and we are looking forward to a very strong show this year. The facilities at Brandon are world class and everything from barns to food facilities and lodging are under one roof making this a top notch venue to hold a livestock show and sale.

We are very pleased to have been able to join forces with Don Savage Auctions this year to hold the National Sale. Don is a very knowledgeable and experienced cattleman and Auctioneer – Sales Manager, not to mention an original Manitoba boy. If you are unable to attend the sale in person, Don or one of our capable sale representatives will be able to assist you in your purchases in a very professional and discrete manner.

We feel we have on offer a very strong set of cattle for your appraisal from heifer calf prospects, bred heifers, a bred cow and bull calves. These genetics come from some of the top herds in Manitoba, western and eastern Canada. These cattle will offer you the traits the breed has become known for such as strong maternal, milk, docility and added performance not to forget that popular roan colour!

Make plans to be with us on October 25, 2018 and be a part of this exciting time to be involved with a flourishing cattle sector with prices looking strong into the fall and a breed of cattle that is rapidly gaining the popularity of both commercial and purebred breeders across the nation.

This young Bull has always been my favourite in the pasture. I am especially impressed with his quiet nature and the length of body and very easy action and movement . At the time of this picture he was just out of pasture and just weaned. This is what he has done with no creep, just mother and grass. As with all our cattle he is 100% Shorthorn, so can be used to upgrade any percentage animals you have. Like the bred female in the sale he is out of the same cow, which needless to say shows how consistent this pedigree is working in producing top animals. DON’T look the other way and miss this future herd sire.

This calf was named Freight Train for his length! Freddy, for short, was born at 104 lbs. unassisted out of a second calver. His sire, BISS Raydon, put a lot of punch into his commercial calves and this bull calf will be no different. He has a smooth shoulder and is clean fronted.

This polled red roan bull is just like his parents, moderate frame, easy doing.

The added, balanced muscle development is going to add pounds to his calves. His quiet disposition is another asset to any program. Maple Lake will take him home until April 1 and semen test him.

She has done all this with no help from the bucket all grass and Manitoba air! She was run with Foxwillow England who we had at the show last year and decided to keep him as a herd bull. He has a packed pedigree with the Buster X Wolf Willow Raspberry Crocus sire, out of one of the very best Creekside Legacy heifers from a Muridale cow.

May 29, 2018 to Saskvalley Yesterday 116Y M476051 P/E June 22 to August 4, 2018 to KF Imax 3D HC Starsearch 50Y truly follows in the foot steps of his sire, Pioneer 126P, in his ability to produce high quality daughters and Maxine 1E is one of the best to date. She is a very structurally correct female that perfectly balances femininity with performance, fleshing ability, and muscle shape. Deep, thick, and broody describe the 50Y sire group, and the Maxine cow family checks all the same boxes every time. 1E’s dam was the high selling heifer in the 2012 CWA sale and with 3 daughters already in the herd, including a full sister to 1E, we decided that we could dig deep and offer one of the best heifers that we’ve ever raised for the 2018 National Sale.

Her dam is a daughter of Jake’s Proud Jazz and won her class as a heifer calf at Agribition the year we bought her. She has never disappointed us and has a great bull calf again this year. 28E’s sire, Red Matrix, left some great calves, really deep and easy fleshing, before being sold to a good commercial herd. Excellent EPDs ! Her service sire is a son of Muridale Jaxson and out of a daughter of Birdtail Gus 15U. Due Feb 10, 2018, her calf will be in the keeper pen, too.

P/E June 15 to Birdtail SV Ultra 133A M477629 Birdtail Doris 8E is a very feminine, moderate-framed heifer. She has stayed well-fleshed all summer, in less than perfect conditions. She is very docile and has tons of eye appeal. Her dam is very productive, good-footed and really wide-topped. All our cattle are raised on rugged range conditions so must be able to function well. 8E is pasture exposed to Birdtail Ultra 133A, who has consistently given us easy-calving, docility and heifers with great udders.

Have a full sister from this year’s calf crop so have decided to let this one go.

Both Birdtail females are 100% closed herdbook.

A.I. CSF Evolution HC - due to calve February 25, 2019 An unbeatable pedigree. On the dam’s side is the great Shadybrook Verona 49G who has given us one of our most successful cow families. 37E’s dam is a moderate power house, who produced the 2016 CWA Grand Champion Bull, Hill Haven Powerball 33D by MeatPacker. Her dam is also maternal sister to the 2017 CWA National Grand Champion Female, Hill Haven Verona Girl 2E by CSF Evolution. With that great mating in mind, we bred Verona Valerie to Evolution also.

Her brood cow heritage is complimented with EPDs that put her in the top 2% for WW and YW. Verona Valerie is destined to headline her own cow family for generations to come. As a buyer’s bonus, Valerie Verona sells with 3 straws of Kamilaroi MeatPacker semen for future breeding. THF, PHAF, DS .

AG-EX 2018 National Shorthorn Sale Thursday, October 25 - 3:00 PM CDT

National Shorthorn Show Friday October 26 - 9:30 AM CDT EPDs in this catalog as of September 10, 2018

CANADIAN SHORTHORN EPDs Expected progeny differences (EPDs) are a very important tool used in genetic selection. EPDs are used to compare the differences in predicted performance of animals’ offspring for specific traits.

Calculation of EPDs is driven by pedigree, progeny, and individual performance data. The American Shorthorn Association offers twelve different EPDs for specific traits. Additionally, ASA provides three economic ($ Value) indexes, providing a single value for the selection of breeding stock that optimizes selection on a number of traits that define profit in a particular production scenario.

Calving Ease Direct (CED): The most important EPD in sire selection for use on heifers. This value is expressed as a percent of unassisted births; the more positive a number is the more desirable.

Birth Weight (BW): An indicator of birth weight and calving ease.

Larger BW EPDs typically, but not always indicate more calving difficulty.

Weaning Weight (WW): Weaning weight measures the differences in weight of calves at weaning, and is also reported in pounds. A higher WW EPD indicates an expected higher weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Like other weight traits, YW measure the differences in weight of animals at yearling, and is also expressed in pounds. Higher YW EPDs indicate a higher expected yearling weight.

Milk (MK): the expected differences in a bull’s daughters’ calves at weaning weight due to their milking ability. Milk is looking at how well daughters milk and how that translates to the weaning weights of their calves. A higher MK EPD indicates a higher weaning weight due to the bull’s daughters’ milking ability.

Total Maternal (TM): TM predicts the total difference in weight of a bull’s daughters’ calves at weaning. A portion of this difference in weight comes from the milking ability of the bull’s daughters (MK EPD), and a portion comes from the genes for growth passed from the bull to his daughters and then on to their calves. The TM EPD is calculated by taking ½ of a bull’s WW EPD + his MK EPD. Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): Reflects a bull’s ability to sire daughters who calve unassisted. The value is expressed as a percentage of unassisted births, with a more positive number being more desirable.

Stayability (ST): The newest addition to the Shorthorn EPD lineup, Stayability is a measure of the percentage of a bull’s daughters that will still be in the herd at six years old. Like CED and CEM, Stayability is expressed as a percentage. A higher ST EPD indicates a higher percentage of daughters staying in the herd.

Yield Grade (YG): YG measures the differences in carcass yield ability. In the United States, beef carcasses are measured for Yield Grade on a 1 (highest yielding) to 5 (lowest yielding) scale. The YG EPD is expressed in units of points on the USDA Yield Grade scoring system. Animals with a more negative YG EPD are expected to produce progeny with carcasses that have lower yield grade scores.

Carcass Weight (CW): expressed in pounds as a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Ribeye Area (REA): REA measures the difference in ribeye area of a bull’s progeny. REA is measured in square inches. A higher REA EPD is indicative of expected larger ribeyes.

Marbling Score (MB): evaluation of intramuscular fat deposition in the ribeye as expressed in USDA numeric marbling scores. Higher values indicate genetics that are expected to marble and have a higher quality grade.

Backfat (FT): Fat thickness measures the amount of back fat on a carcass. FT is reported in inches. A lower FT EPD indicates a bull whose progeny will have less fat on the carcass than a bull with a higher FT EPD. Calving Ease Direct ($CEZ): This index assumes a bull will only be mated to heifers, not cows. The potential profitability of the sire is measured by the incidence of live calves at birth. Moderate mature size is also emphasized in the index, but performance is not a priority.

British Maternal Index ($BMI): This multi-trait selection index attempts to measure a bull’s potential profitability when complimenting the British cow base (Angus, Red Angus, Hereford, etc.). Shorthorn females can likewise be gauged at adding value to British or British-composite bulls of other breeds. A balance of growth and carcass traits is desired with a strong maternal component aimed at optimum reproductive efficiency and cow longevity.

Feedlot ($F): $Feedlot places strong emphasis on growth and carcass traits. This multi-trait index assumes the sire will be mated to a mix of heifers and cows and attempts to measure profitability when progeny are sold on the fed market. On the female side, mature size should be monitored closely when selecting for $F.

The granddaughter of one of our original herd building females, Shadybrook Victoria 19K. The Victorias have been exceptional brood cows: outstanding maternal traits, easy calving, structurally excellent and virtually maintenance free.

10F has all of her dam’s and grandam’s maternal heritage and Fire Storm 28C who in 2017 was two times Grand Champion Bull at CWA and RAWF, All-Breeds Champion at RAWF Supreme and Top Ten Finalist at CWA RBC Supreme. Add to those genetics lots of show ring flash. She is big boned, has lots of hair and tons of style; all the makings of multiple ‘banner’ performances. After her show career, her progeny will benefit from excellent EPDs in the top 20% for WW and YW. The ultimate triple threat: exceptional maternal attributes, trait leader performance and show ring star quality. THF, PHAF, DSF.

A powerful heifer out of a very fertile and productive cow we purchased as a bred heifer from Bell M at the Alliance sale a few years ago. She always brings in one of our top calves every year.

Coupled with the Headline bull ensures this heifer’s productivity into the future.

Only because we have two other daughters in the herd do we consider offering this heifer. Purchase with confidence. 98.5%.

Snow White, as we call her, is a solid built, deep bodied female. She has a good foot and a strong top. Out of the True Love’s from Dixon Farms, she should grow to be a big, broody female like her dam and grandam. Her dam 3B stood as calf at side with 3T when the pair won CWA Grand Champion Shorthorn Female in 2014.

Betsy 18F is a heifer that we hate to part with. She is a result of the mating between Birdtail EU Betsy 18X, a cow we have flushed multiple times and Saskvalley Copyright 20C, high seller at the 2017 Who’s Your Daddy Sale. Her dam 18X has been bred to many different sires and produced great offspring. 18F has it all: length, depth, a great hip, sweet disposition and an interesting pedigree. She has been raised strictly on milk and grass all summer on dry range conditions. Betsy 18F will develop into a tremendous cow. Don’t miss this chance to own a heifer with great show or brood potential and a proven pedigree to back it up!
