Welcome to the sale

Welcome to the 2nd Ladies of Windy Knoll Online Female Sale. We would like to start off by thanking all of the breeders from across the country that showed interest, bid, or bought females in our first annual sale. We’ve had great feedback and hope that they continue to thrive in their new homes. Chasing this dream wouldn’t be possible without all of your support.

The last year seems to have flown by and brought with it lots of growth and challenges. We’ve moved our fall calving females to winter calving, expanded our ET program and added some exciting donors to our lineup. Our growing season started off very dry and then the rain started and hasn’t really stopped, so getting feed made was very challenging. With that being said, the beef industry is thriving and it’s an amazing time to be involved and increase numbers.

We would like to welcome you to view our female offering and the bulls that we’ll have for sale this winter at the farm in the picturesque Annapolis Valley any time.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding the offering or trucking.

Sincerely,

Laura

When I was younger, every Saturday morning Gramp would pull up to the barn for his weekly cattle economic debriefing. Not long before he passed away one of those conversations was about quality over quantity, it has stuck with me ever since. With that being said, we wanted to hang onto our fullbloods this year to be able to offer more exciting breds next year so we tossed around the idea of having the sale every two years but decided to do a smaller purebred offering for this year with some genetic lots. That’s where the quality over quantity comes into play. The quality amongst these females runs deep. We’ve selected females that we are confident that will go out and work for you and make tremendous cows and would happily keep any of them ourselves. The headliner for the bred section is one that grabs your attention as soon as you walk in the pen, she’s out of a RF Capacity broody cow that is quickly becoming one of my favourite’s and is an embryo purchased out of the March Madness Sale.

The headliner for the open heifer section is an absolute gem and she just keeps getting better. She’s the product of our newest donor, WKF Flirt 24J’s first go at being a momma cow and we think she knocked it out of the park. She comes from a long line of maternal power going all the way back to her Great Granddam, RF Flirt 434B, which is a full sister to RF Merchant. We truly believe that all of these females will make unique breeding pieces and each have something different to bring to the table.

This is a female that we should really be hanging onto. Her pedigree is stacked with maternal and paternal producing greats like Linette 854U, RF Famous 409B, Capacity, and Duracell. We purchased her dam as an embryo out of the March Madness Sale. She is as big bodied and tanky as you can make them and we feel that WKF Linette 55K is going to follow in her footsteps. If the power in her pedigree and phenotype doesn’t do enough for you, check out her EPD's that sit well above average in 10 out of the 13 traits! She’s bred early to Bohrson’s outcross pedigree calving ease specialist Advantage and there’s a high probability that she’s carrying a heifer.

Emma is one of the favourites in the offering. She’s out of a Cobra first calver that goes back to a phenomenal cow purchased from Bar 5. She’s moderate, she’s stout and has loads of style and presence to boot. We think this sweetheart of a female is going to make one heck of a momma cow.

This big barrelled WKF Fully Loaded daughter is the biggest topped bred on offer. She’s setting down a nice udder and one that we think is going to make a tremendous brood cow to produce you power bulls.

Her Agassiz grand dam is one that we have retained every female out of. The combination of Top Tier with Loaded Up, Westcott and Agassiz should make for a very interesting combination of calving ease and power. Betsy 51K will be a unique breeding piece that will add performance into whatever program she enters.

WKF FLIRT 24J RF FLIRT 824F

This smokeshow of a heifer came into the world at just 70 lbs just like Guardians are supposed to. She hasn’t ever slowed down and just keeps getting better. She comes from a long line of maternal power going all the way back to her Great Granddam, 434B, which is a full sister to RF Merchant. Her dam WKF Flirt 24J entered our donor lineup this year - she’s super easy doing, flawless footed with an impeccable udder. Her grand dam RF Flirt 824F hasn’t got one wrong yet and we feel that this heifer has the goods to follow in her footsteps. WKF Flirt 75L is also numbered up, being above average in 11 out the 13 traits! This sweet girl is halter broke and one that we think will be very competitive in the show ring next year.

Watermelon Sugar 22L is one that has stood out since birth. She has length for days and is out of a moderate framed Outlaw Breaker first time momma that sure got the job done. This fancy female is backed by some big bodied fullbloods that milk and produce every single year. Adding WKF Fully Loaded to the pedigree gives her a bit of a unique twist and one that we feel really clicked! She’s also above average in 11 out 13 traits! ▶ Inset Picture: Sire of Lots 3 & 5, WKF Fully Loaded 1G

WINDY KNOLL XIA 39X

The Xia cow family has done it for us again! Sons have sold to Ranch Macandi ENR, Daniel Paradis, Little H Cattle Co, Collette Livestock and Cinway Simmental Farm to name a few, we have 6 direct Xia 39X daughters in our herd and have only ever let 2 females go out of this cow family to Black’s Cattle Co and Ran Mar Farms. This time it’s a different twist on the sire being sired by the RF No Limits bull that sold for $90,000. Xia 55L is as deep bodied as you can make one from her front to her flank and is stout enough to make herd bulls and attractive enough to make big time heifers. This will be one of the first chances to get a RF No Limits and out of a proven productive cow family.

Frequently Asked Questions What Is Racehorse Style Sale Close? Racehorse style sale close is when the entire sale stays open in extended bidding. This type of sale allows you as the bidder to change to a different lot within the same sale if the bidding has gone in to extended bidding.

How Will Extended Bidding Work? When we get to the close out end time the clock for close extends with any bid placed with less than 5 min on the clock. This type of extended bidding turns the end time to more of a soft time. Extended bidding allows bidders to compete in lots like a real auction and give all bidders the same time to make a decision. Always follow the clock to see how much time remains in the sale you are interested in. _________________________ DLMS Farm Gate Timed Auctions ~ Mark Shologan Ph: 780-699-5082
