Twin Bridge & Guests Gelbvieh Bull & Female Sale 2013

Twin Bridge Farms Ltd. & Guests Gelbvieh

BULL & FEMALE SALE

Welcome

to the second installment of the Twin Bridge Farms & Guests Bull Sale. We are glad to have Jen-Ty Gelbvieh and the Ness family back again this year. All three programs are very passionate about the Gelbvieh breed and strive to produce the best possible genetics they can.

The beef industry is in a great place and with the national cow herd so low in numbers it is sure to continue. Top end feeder calves and replacement females were at a premium last fall. Now more than ever it is important to have the best possible genetics in our cow herds. On March 18th there will be bulls on offer that will make your operation competitive in every step of beef production. There are performance bulls to raise those scale busters in the fall, low birth weight bulls to make calving season stress free and all of them should sire those great females the Gelbvieh breed is known for.

New this year is a group of heifer calves right from the heart of the replacement pens of Twin Bridge Farms and the Ness herd.

These females should compliment the bulls on offer and go onto be great producers.

All bulls selling will be semen tested and vet checked. The sellers are willing to keep purchases until April 15th free of charge and deliver them at least 200 miles free of charge. If you take your bull(s) home on sale day you will receive a $50 discount per bull.

If you have any questions on the sale lots or would like to view them before the sale feel free to contact any of us. Bulls and females can also be viewed starting Sunday afternoon at the Map to Silver Sage Corral Silver Sage. Please join us for pre-sale lunch and refreshments Brooks, Alberta and socializing after the sale. We will also be drawing a name to win a limited edition 40th Anniversary Gelbvieh Belt Buckle.

We look forward to being your hosts on March 18th.

Jen-Ty Reference Sires

DEG TRENT 480T We purchased Trent as a calf beside his mother LC Wandering Petunia 480P from Double Eagle Gelbvieh in 2007 we knew soon as we seen him that he would be the next herdsire in the Jen-Ty operation. He showed even as a calf great thickness and muscle structure. He grew up and didn’t disappoint us. All his calf crops show all the same traits. He always put pounds on every calf crop. This is the last chance to get a Trent bull calf, as we had to put him down last year which was very disappointing for us.

DEG Trent 480T

AWB BIRCH’S MAX 64X We purchased Max as a yearling from Birch’s he is a dark red bull very structurally sound, polled, large testicle and seems to work well.

DVE DAVIDSON MR. JAY 61X We purchased Mr. Jay from the Davidson ranch. He is a very thick soggy bull. We used him just on our heifers and he did what he was suppose to easy calving, never had any issues using him on heifers.

Ron, Carol, Aaron, Ross, Gail and Owen Birch

We are very excited to once again be offering a great set of Gelbvieh bulls. The bulls this year have surpassed our expectations and are easily the best group we have produced.

Over the past years we have selected females and sires that meet our high standards for performance, calving ease, maternal traits and conformation. Through an extensive AI program and more recently an ET program we have been able to take advantage of the best Gelbvieh genetics in North America. We base our breeding program around the commercial cattle industry. We strive to produce bulls that meet the demands of every step in the beef industry.

The bulls are developed in a 5acre area to give them lots of room and keep them fresh for breeding. They are hand fed a low starch ration and free choice hay. Both the bulls and female have been on a full herd health program. We fully guarantee each bull for the first year. Check out our website www.tbfarms.ca for more information and pedigree pictures on our sale lots. Videos of the bulls can also be found through the website or by going to www.youtube.com/TBFarmsGelbvieh.

If you have any questions or would like to view the bulls and their dams before the sale don’t hesitate to contact us.

We look forward to seeing you all sale day. With any luck the weather will be a lot nicer to travel in this year.

Back Road is a powerful, thick made bull that’s full of red meat. He was alongside his dam when they were named Grand Champion Female at the 2012 Vulcan & District 4-H Show for Gail. She is a very easy fleshing broody female with a perfect udder. This calf is going to sire some impressive feeder calves and the type of females that the Gelbvieh breed is known for.

Target is a thick, long moderate made bull that is as dark red as you can get. The combination of Tiree and Megalith has worked very well for us and has produced some standouts like our herdsire Ricco. His dam is an eye catching female that has a ton of volume and mass but doesn’t stand too far off the ground. If you are looking for a sire to produce replacement heifers Target comes highly SA Birch’s Granny 48S - Dam of Lot 32 recommended.

He comes from the Disco family that has kicked out many 4-H champions in both the steer and female divisions. This includes Roughneck’s grandam who was a Grand Champion Female. A maternal sister sold to Jen-Ty Gelbvieh in the 2011 Wish List Sale. This line improves with every generation and Roughneck’s calves will do the same. YW ADG: 3.52 lbs.

Here is a definite herdsire prospect. He has that rare combination of performance, structural correctness and eye appeal. After having one of the highest adjusted weaning weights he continues on to be one of our high gainers.

He is also going to have one of the largest scrotal measurements. It is no surprise that Scholar is at the top of the pen. His dam has really impressed us since her and her daughter were purchased at the RJD Dispersal.

Tucker is a smooth, long made, homozygous polled herdsire prospect that covers all the bases. He would work well on heifers and still has the performance to sire some scale busters in the fall. His beautiful dam was part of our show string in 2010 and is a female that we expect will continue to produce offspring like Tucker.

With Totally Exposed, 5D and Deleter in his pedigree he should also sire some very productive females.

Twin raised as a single.

These three ET brothers are from a standout female in our program. 45U is the type of female we strive to produce; deep, thick, easy fleshing and brings in the good ones every year. We selected the maternal Totally Exposed to flush her to, producing progeny that have a nice balance of performance and maternal traits.

45Z is the more moderate framed of the brothers and should produce most similar to his sire. 52Z is the powerhouse of the trio. He has a ton of length, thickness and is smooth made while being one of the high gainers in the pen, making him a real herdsire prospect. 49Z would have been very similar to 52Z but unfortunately was on a poorer cow, which is reflected in his weaning weight. He has done a lot of catching up since weaning however.

Powerful and eye appealing best describe Over Exposed. He is the beefy structurally correct type of bull we strive to raise. This is the type of bull that should produce those growthy feeder calves that feedlots are looking for. On top of that if his daughters are anything like his Spiderman sired dam they should make great brood cows. YW ADG: 3.56 lbs.

They are the type of cattle we find fit perfectly in the feedlot and make real broody females. 28Z comes from a no miss female that has produced some nice females for us including one of our consignments in the 2012 Wish List Sale that sold to Hardy Letain.

Another Exposure son that is thick and soggy. It might sound repetitive but that’s because these brothers are so similar. Exposure continues to sire progeny that are uniform which is one of the most underappreciated traits in the beef industry.

Calf buyers pay premiums when they can buy large groups of uniform calves. If these brothers are like their sire, they will produce uniform calves as well.

Vision is the type of bull that drew us to the Gelbvieh breed. Moderate birth weight and smooth fronted with the thickness and depth of body that is hard to find. The whole package. He is most likely the best Exposure son we have produced. This is no surprise since his pedigree has four of the most influential herdsires in our program and the Anny cow family. His full sister is one of our top first calf heifers this year.

Starting Gun was the highlight of our show string last fall. He is the type that really draws your attention with his combination of eye appeal, length and muscle structure. He has the stretch from birth to weaning weight that will make his progeny trouble free and profitable regardless if he used on heifers or mature cows. His dam is a tank that has a ton of volume, thickness and fleshing ability.

This herdsire prospect is homozygous polled and homozygous black.

The Beretta calves highlighted our show string last fall. We have selected a son to use in our program and we sold a choice of his daughters in the Wish List Sale for $4500.

Rock Solid is a meat machine. He is going to add a ton of performance and thickness to his progeny. The few calves we have had from Red Rock have all really performed well without sacrificing soundness and fleshing ability. His dam has never disappointed us and her fullblood pedigree will contribute some added hybrid vigor to Rock Solid’s calves.

Duke is a long smooth made bull that should work well on heifers. With only a 76lb birth weight he weaned off as heavy as some of the 90lb bulls. His sire Captain gave us a great set of females that we are retaining in our herd but few bull calves so Duke is the only son of him selling. Check out his sisters selling in the sale, he is sure to sire the same broody type of females.

From looking at this female we will be using Captain on a lot more Tiree daughters. She has volume and thickness but still maintains femininity and that brood cow look. Her dam is turning into a tremendous young female. Her first two calves have averaged 76lbs at birth and 10% over average at weaning. She is well on her way to being a matriarch in our program, just like 76Z is sure to do.

We had no Rally Lou bulls this year and it didn’t seem right to not have at least one of his offspring in the sale so we decided to part with 74Z. Rally Lou has had a very significant impact on our program. His sons were always at the top of our bull pen and his daughters have turned into very productive females. We only get Rally progeny from AI mating now so this may be the last chance to buy a direct daughter.

Dallas just like the Exposure sons has a ton of volume and thickness. Her weaning weight was at the top of the heifer pen but she will mature into a nice framed cow. She should become the type of female that the Gelbvieh breed is known for. With Rally Lou as her grand sire you also know that she should produce high performing sons. We have always wanted to retain our Exposure daughters and they have become the type of females that work in our short grass country.
