WELCOME The Draft Picks bull sale has become a household name in the Gelbvieh breed and has annually been home to one of the top bull sales in Alberta every spring. Both the Rocky Top and Royal Western programs are leaders at the forefront of the breed and there strong sale offering for 2022 is evident why their bulls have been so well received in both the commercial and purebred industry. Royal Western Gelbvieh is surely one of the outfits that comes to mind instantly when you think of Gelbvieh cattle. Their strong family roots in agriculture and their dedication to making Gelbvieh cattle better and more received on a broader spectrum makes it evident why they co-host one of the strongest females sale every fall and why their two year old bulls on offer have been in high demand. We strongly believe there is huge upside to utilizing a two-year old Royal Western Gelbvieh bull and when you lay eyes on their stout pen of bulls and the beautiful productive cows backing them you will see why. Rocky Top Gelbvieh is a very proactive and rapidly advancing program. It has sure been fun to watch this program evolve in just a few short years to the quality program it is today and we believe the yearling bulls on offer from RTG compliment the two-year olds extremely well. Yearling bulls that read extremely well on paper as curve benders from birth to yearling, bulls that will calve extremely well and then sire calves that do nothing that grow. This pen of bulls is chock full of red meat, are hairy and truly right for todays commercial industry. We really hope you can make it on sale day and lay eyes on this impressive set of Gelbvieh and Balancer bulls and take in the hospitality as it is second to none. We also encourage you to reach out to both operations to talk about the bulls and your herd bull needs prior, or better yet, drive into each yard a have a preview. If we at Bohrson Marketing can be of any assistance we would be happy to help and represent you in a professional manner. We look forward to discussing this powerful set of bulls with you. Best Regards, Bohrson Marketing Services

Nutrition- Breeding Females: Our cow herds are treated and managed in a tough environment, where they need to be efficient with recourses to thrive. We Do Not pamper our cows just because they are seed-stock genetics they work alongside our commercial females and are asked to thrive on the same recourses. Balanced nutrition and proper mineral has always been the driving link to animal welfare and health, we take that part seriously. Bull Development: Bull calves are weaned and transitioned slowly from pasture and momma to high fiber TMR rations, that are balanced for micro and macro nutrients. Rations are formulated to maintain modest growth, but focused on superior rumen health, structure and reproductive health! All long yearling bulls go to summer grass to develop and mature, graze late into the fall, they are fit, in shape and ready to work!

Rocky Top Gelbvieh

Here is a big topped, thick, dark red Hallelujah 246E50 son who carries exceptional length of spine, rib shape and depth. This bull performed well all summer alongside his dam RTG Diva D230, who’s sired back to our female maker DDN 129B creating calving ease, perfect sized udders and ideal teat length with substantial milk. The genotype that is standing behind this bull is outstanding and will produce top end ROI looking forward.

BIRTH WT: 94 | ADJ WEANING WT: 663 | ADJ YEARLING WT: 1291 A really cool thick made EGL Lifeline B101 son that will add solid pay weight to his calves. RTG Jager J107 has done nothing but impress us right from day one! Giving that he is extremely long made all while maintaining rib shape and rounding off with an appealing hip and muscle design. We knew that this mating would click when we bred EGL Lifeline to RTG F205. This dam is a top end producing female in our program for only landing her 2nd calf crop yet so far, she produced our best selling feature female in the Gathering sale back in December - RTG Money Honey H219 selling to Nelson Gelbvieh. The genotype is very well balanced in this pedigree. There are eandless possibilities with RTG Jager as a breed builder in a purebred program to get that hybrid vigor performance.

With only two EGL Lifeline B101 sons in the sale, if you’re looking for added muscle, hair, thickness and good rib depth…you better mark RTG Jackson down on your list! RTG Jackson is a very sound, well-balanced, sure-footed, ideal leg structured bull - really an overall strong genotype built into this bull’s pedigree. His dam RTG Feelin Foolish F202 packs lots of power in muscle expression, depth, and rib shape to pull off her extra frame dimension. This A.I mating of EGL Lifeline B101 kept that length of frame, muscle expression and well-balanced softness - exactly what we had in mind of this mating.

RTG Juice J116 is well balanced in his skeletal structure and carries a clean front that flows into a deep chest floor. He rounds out with defined rib shape and an eye catching dark red pigmentation. Calving ease will be just one of the many traits liked in RTG Juice J116 along with continual growth in his offspring. The maternal strength built in this pedigree has always been proven to perform well in our program.

Being a well-balanced female with excellent udder, rib, and overall body mass really plays into her maternal strengths. Raising two bull calves this summer that are both on offer at this years Draft Picks Sale, she did not disappoint us one bit on either calf. This guy is a moderate tank - stout made, extra shape and rib depth. We highly recommended him in the calving ease department; he has heifer bull stamped all over him! pg 1 1

This deep dark red bull is extremely eye catching with great muscle expression throughout; offering a lot of rib shape and depth, and ending with very nice hip design and lower stifle conformation. With the physical traits of JRI Hallelujah of front-end depth and muscle capacity and combining him with a feminine fronted, big bodied, easy fleshing broody cow resulted in a very easy to admire bull calf as a future herd sire.
