Welcome....

Welcome cattleman to the 3rd Annual Paint Em’ Black Bull Sale. This sale is held in the heart of cattle country in Saskatchewan at the south western corner of the province. The picturesque rolling hills and wide open space is ideal cattle country and the black cattle are dominant within that area. With a large percentage of Angus based females that are seeking a performance based breed to be mated with and optimize on heterosis; black Simmental bulls are the obvious answer.

The 35 black Simmental bulls on offer from these 2 progressive programs represent many years of selective breeding. Herter Simmentals established their program in 1979 and have targeted their growth to supply the most discriminating cattleman with the best genetics possible. Even though they have been in the Simmental circles for 38 years, I have often referred to them as having a herd that is a “diamond in the rough”. They have a high percentage of repeat customers and that is because of their customer service and the great herd that backs their sale bulls each year. The Herter cow herd is truly an impressive group of cows that we have a lot of respect for as they are selected for foot quality, udder strength, maternal traits, longevity and overall production. As we rated many bulls high on our regular visits throughout the year, after seeing their dams it only solidifies our confidence in the future impact they will have for the successful buyers. If you are ever in the Golden Prairie area, we encourage you to stop in and see this impressive cow herd.

Townview Farms run a successful commercial program with a select group of purebred females to target their customers needs. The Girodat family has built a strong program in a short time frame that is based around ease of calving, maternal strength and above average production value. You will quickly notice that many of these bulls rank in the top 1% of the Simmental breed for calving ease while still maintaining strong performance data. The strong females that represent this offering are a no-nonsense cow that work for the Girodat’s and no second chances are given; you can be assured the bulls have a productive female behind them.

On offer this year will also be a groups of commercial replacement heifers consigned by a reputable black Simmental influenced breeder, Dustin & Twila Hawkins. With majority of the offering being homozygous black, the Paint Em’ Black bulls will ensure you a black hide and consistency will remain high in your steer pen when they are cashed in on. The bulls on offer came from two very well respected families and they stand behind their product 100%. If ourselves at Bohrson Marketing Services can be of any assistance, feel free to contact us at any time and we will represent your buying needs in a professional and confidential manner. We encourage you to make it to Maple Creek, SK on Wednesday, March 21 to take in some first class hospitality and a great set of bulls!

EPD EXPLANATION API$ and TI$ EPD Indexes The API$ and TI$ EPD indexes were designed with the aim of simplifying and improving the genetic selection process. These genetic indexes combine relevant EPDs along with economic factors into numbers that make sense. EPDs such as calving ease, growth, carcass traits, etc are weighted along with economic data provided by Cattle-Fax such as the cost of feed, choice- select spread, etc. The product of these complex calculations gives us a real world method to compare the merits of different animals. The API and TI indexes calculate the estimated differences between bulls in det dollars returned per cow exposed for two different herd scenarios as described below.

All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters requred to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.

Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Consequently, maternal triats such as milk, stayability, and maternal calving ease are not considered in the index

HERTER SIMMENTALS :: TRAVIS & DEBRA/ LARRY & LINDA :: BOX 22, GOLDEN PRAIRIE, SK SON OYO :: H:306.662.5006 C:306.330.9137 Welcome to Herter Simmentals 3rd Annual “Paint ‘Em Black Bull & Female Sale”. We would like to thank everyone who has supported our

program. Your patronage is greatly appreciated.

Like many others we were in a severe drought this spring & summer seeing very little precipitation and extreme heat. However, the cattle performed well and held condition throughout the summer and into the fall. In years past we have weaned early under similar conditions and had favourable results and so the decision was made to wean in the beginning of September. The calves were weaned and started off on free choice hay, pellets and minerals with Rumension and then added brown oats as they grew. We feel they are presented the way we like to buy them and fed in a way to maximize fertility and longevity.

This year’s group is a strong as we have ever offered. They are moderate, functional and complete. They consist of Purebred Simmentals & SimAngus percentage bulls by some of today’s popular sires and our walking herd bulls. We put much emphasis on the do-ability of these bulls. The bulls must calve easy, calves must get up and go and wean heavy to help make an impact for their new owners. We cull hard for temperaments and their momma cows must tow the line and do it on hay. The cow herd is managed the same as we have in the past with our commercial herd and is a true representation of a working man’s herd as you will find. We have focused on strong maternal values, calving ease, and strong performance. We can assure you our weaning and growth rates will meet your demands in the commercial sector.

The Girodats of Townview Farms are consigning a great set of bulls and we look forward to working with them again.

Scott Bohrson and his team will be managing the sale and have viewed the bulls prior to sale and can assist you with any questions you may have. If you are unable to attend but want representation, we strongly encourage you to contact Scott, Taylor, or Matt to assist you with your bidding. They are very knowledgeable, experienced and can facilitate your needs in a professional manor. Donnie Peacock and Tyler Cronkhite will have been through the pens as well and are a good source of knowledge to aid the Bohrson crew.

Once again there will be groups of SimAngus open heifers from Dustin & Twila Hawkins & family of Kincaid, SK. They are well known throughout the Southwest and have been using black Simmwntals for many years. These heifers are cut right off the very top and are going to make some outstanding front end pasture cows. Their consignment and contact info is near the back of catalogue and we encourage you to contact them with any questions you may have.

The bulls on offer will be polled/color coat tested, vet checked and measured. We will take bulls home after sale and semen test at a later date. We feel due to the majority of bulls being 12-12.5 months old at sale time is unfair as they are just about to hit their stride. Biggest growth in maturity and testicle development is yet to come.

Please join us Wednesday March 21, 2018 at Cowtown Livestock, Maple Creek, Saskatchewan for a 12:00 p.m. lunch and with the sale to follow at 1:00 p.m. See you there.

Welcome to the 3rd Annual “Paint ‘em Black” Bull Sale. As always we are excited to be working with the Herter family again this year.

We will be calving out 40 purebred cows that will start Feb 20th, as well as 180 commercial cows which will start calving March 20th. The bulls we are offering are moderate, deep, long, good haired, correct footed, and will go out and breed cows and still come home with some condition on them. These bulls are raised on mommas milk, no creep!

If you have any questions about the bulls please give us a call or come for a visit and view the bulls prior to the sale. If you are unable to make it please give Bohrson Marketing a call, they can help you out as well.

A special THANK YOU to all the buyers, bidders, family and friends that attended and supported our sale and program. WE APPRECIATE IT!!

ALL BULLS WILL BE POLL AND COLOR TESTED: RESULTS SALE DAY.

10 Black Simmental x Angus heifers ____________________________________________________________________ Consigned by Dustin & Twila Hawkins :: 306-648-8081

We operate a mixed farm near Kincaid, Saskatchewan. Our livestock operation consists of over 650 cow/calf pairs and breed more than 150 home raised heifers each year. We run Simmental/SimAngus bulls on our predominately Angus based herd. We have been purchasing bulls from the Herters for more than a decade and have seen substantial gains in weaning weights on our steer calves, and improved maternal strength on our young crossbred cows.

The cows are on a 50 day breeding program and the heifers are exposed for 30 days. We run a tight breeding protocol to ensure a short calving season and maintain high fertility within our herd. Cattle are on a full herd health program and we are very strict in our culling process. These heifers are taken right off the top of the keeper pen and will make some excellent cows.

Offering:

- 5 March/April born black Simmental x Angus females

- 5 March/April born black Simmental x Angus females
