GRANDAM We wanted to bring something special to the 2022 Friday Night Lights sale and we feel Scarlett fits that description. She is long spined, great haired, balanced and stands on a sound foundation. She has a bit more frame than some of our other Betts females which she comes by honestly from her powerfully made Horizon dam. 98B is a strong uddered, powerhouse of a female who raised our high selling bull in 2021 which was a full sibling to Scarlett. The impact that Betts has made on our herd and the breed as a whole speaks for itself at this point. He has left us with some incredible females and the bulls are always at the top of the pen.

This heifer is exactly the type of female we try to make every time a breeding decision is made. She is so deep and soft made with extra width in her hip and yet feminine in through her front third. She is about as easy doing as they come. Her dam, 10B, has been a very consistent producer with a great udder. Barry purchased her out of the 2014 Shades sale from Downhill Simmentals and she went on to send her first three heifer calves through the spring bull sale. When we purchased a group of cows from Labatte’s in 2018 we were lucky enough to buy 10B in that group and she has continued that consistency here. We have two maternal sisters to 233K in the herd now and her only bull calf to date sold in the 2021 bull sale. This is one that hurts to sell, but we are awfully proud to bring to town.

The first set of Caliber calves sure have us excited. The best part is that our favorite from the sire group changes every day but 234K has always been one that everyone picks out. Caliber was the $150,000 high seller in our 2021 bull sale to KT Ranches and Canadian Sires and is a bull that you will hear a lot from in the future. If you like them big and soggy with great hair and loads of presence check out 234K. Her dam was a purchase from Foley Simmentals and stems from our Chocolate Rose cow family that goes way back to the first purebred Simmental female on our farm. She is backed by generations of beautiful uddered, big bodied cows and stacking the generations of prolific donors in Caliber’s pedigree just locks in the predictability. 34K was a class winner at her first outing in the 2022 Farmfair International Simmental Show.

Our program has been built on stacking great cows from great cow families in a pedigree. Consequentially the deeper the pedigree gets with more great cows, the more predictable and consistently those great cows produce Rose 234K comes with a pedigree filled with the who’s who of the Simmental and even Angus worlds when it comes to great cows, not to mention great sires. We don’t need to tell you what Rose 234K looks like as you can see that in the picture and video and decide for yourself. What we can tell you is that she is 4 generations deep in great donor cows on every line in her pedigree. When you combine 202Z, 37U, 16S, Jenna 88U, and Famous 409B from the Simmental side and Rose 1019, Rose 918, and Beauty 5R from the Angus side…as well as Supercharged, Capacity, Captain Morgan, Motive, Kodiak and Final Answer, I’d say the predictability is locked in when it comes to production and ROI.

MAT. SIB I am not much of an Oilers fan but we all know how deadly the Mcdavid / Draisaitl combination is..well the Payton 77E / SVS Dynasty 915G combination is just as lethal! Payton 126K is a massive ribbed, stout topped female that is impressive from all angles. Sunny Valley Payton 77E is our top red donor and is producing high quality progeny year after year. A few daughters have sold through this prestigious sale in the past, her first daughter selling to Grassroots and Canadian Donors for $21,000, along with City View Simmentals selling a SVS Betts daughter to Mader Ranches in last years sale for $25,000! TC 126K would be our first black Payton daughter, it adds a neat twist of pedigree in the genetic gene pool. Keep your stick on the ice here because the breeding possibilities with this one will be endless!
The CottonBall cow family is one we’ve been continuing to build and succeed from. TC 78U is the original CottonBall, at 14 years old she is still flushing and producing strong. As we build on this cow family we’ve found HVAL 723E to become one of our favourites. A beautifully constructed female, feminine yet powerful. We sold her first two natural daughters through FNL in 2020. Her Approval Bred heifer went to Jody Jorgensen for $23,000 and her Revere heifer calf went to Westbrook Ventures and Derek Westman. We had a successful flush on 723E to WJS Trailblazer resulting in 8 ET calves. 71K has been the standout of the group since the beginning, She expresses so much length and depth with the added value of being Homo Polled and Homo Black makes for an exciting breeding piece.

Take the opportunity to purchase a Trailblazer female while you can as he is now deceased. We think that bringing two heifer calves to the prestigious FNL speaks to the depth of what this bull has to offer the Simmental industry. On the bottom side of this pedigree we have the 304Y cow that we purchased from Skors as a bred heifer. She is the dam of Erixon Relentless 110D that was purchased by Deeg Simmentals. Renowned 19K is a real sweet made package that has an excellent pedigree backing her.

Her granddam 126Y was a top 10 finalist in the RBC Supreme and has flushed very well for us. Carmel 22K is no slouch of a heifer and we feel is the kind that will raise both bulls and females. Everything is put together correct.....pedigree, phenotype, and attitude. The story has been written, and we think its safe to say that she will work wonders for her new owners!

SIRE KT Molly 2202 is a cool looking blaze face heifer. Her dam, Mcintosh Miss Molly 1H, is a former $30,000 FNL graduate, and was one of the crowd favourites the year that she sold. She has turned into a beautiful cow with a great udder and the same special look she had the day she sold at FNL. Walk This way is certainly a bull that needs no introduction, some of the most sought after, valuable and high selling cattle of the last few years have been sired by him. Molly 2202 has a stacked pedigree, a great look, and one that will be a lot of fun in the show ring and in production.

SIRE Here is one that we sure should have been campaigning all fall long, but with her age difference to most calendar year calves or breds, we decided to let her make her debut at Friday Night Lights! The Dynasty females have been among our favourites, and that comes as no surprise when you look at what the Sage female has done within the industry. I also believe that us, and many others who have used Cobra, would admit that the daughters are among their top cows, with impeccable udder and foot quality, piles of natural fleshing ability, and those beautiful front ends! This gals dam is a powerhouse with the same great blaze, the same great softness and spring of rib, and the same big foot and small teet size. 808J will catch the attention of many great cattle people come sale time as she is has the look and presence of a show female, yet the power and performance it takes to make her an absolute brood cow! Let her age advantage be a coupon to you for future flushing, breeding, and overall production!

Both Structure and IPU 135D don’t miss in terms of production and Shakedown was sure able to stamp his first set of progeny. In our black division they are at the top of scale not only for weaning weight but also quality. All of them have a ton of body, are structurally correct and maintain a nice frame size. Black Wonder is the first daughter off our very productive 79B cow. Her last four sons have averaged over $10,000 in our bull sale and all have led the way in the black section of the sale. 79B strides out on a perfect hoof, has a big time udder and never has an off day. She is long and deep with an abundance of rib shape. Its females like Wonder 40K you wish you could keep them all as we feel she is the right type to raise the good ones.

Heirloom 272K is a performance driven female - she has tremendous growth (actual weaning weight of 862 lbs @ 207 days of age), with a deep chest floor, great bone and foot size. She owns an incredible EPD profile - top 30% for BW & CE along with top 10% wwt and 4% ywt! She is a beauty with as much dimension as any female we have raised before.

DAM Leads the pace in mass, dimension, and power. She couples that with an inherited calving ease and a maternal set of black cows that goes back 9 generations at Lewis Farms of Katrina females. The neat thing about 16K apart from superior phenotype, is that she was the lightest of all Caliber daughters at birth. At weaning time, she was the heaviest of them all and hasn’t looked back. She has lots of hair and great feet, something we find in all our Caliber progeny. Her dam is a moderate framed big middled, Riddler daughter. 16K’s brother sold last spring to James Preston of Spedden, AB.

GRANDAM Here is a really impressive female. One with a ton of body, hair and look. A female that gets out and moves really well and stepping down on a good solid foot. She is a favourite around Rusylvia and one we don’t overly want to part with but you only bring your best to town. Her dam Blackgold Tula 58D was a past high seller in this very sale for $40,000 and has never looked back as she has now entered the donor pen and has throwing ones that come to the top of the pen in both females and bulls. Her sire is the great $150,000 R+ yuma who we have used heavily in our ET program and has done nothing but give us quality stock. We think a lot of this female because of her overall quality and the genetics that stand behind her.
We are so excited to showcase cow families that have built our program and been instrumental in many others. When you match ideal maternal strengths with curve bending modern breed legends, the outcome can be a real treat! So we were thrilled to use Walk This Way as our exclusive AI sire in 2021 and the results continue to be consistent and impressive. 203K and her half sisters who have walked through this FNL sales ring are ones that make a statement and can live up to it as quality producers. This female exhibits level lines, striking side profile, soft disposition, hair and just a touch of chrome! A female that we feel will only continue to follow in the footsteps of her predecessors and sisters alike and be an exciting and sustainable part of your cow herd.

In December of 2018 Toby Noble and I made the trip down to Stillwater to view the Griswold Classic sale females. We made a lot of memories and even did some business as I came home with Donna D232. She has developed into an exceptional cow for us - attractive, big bodied, good uddered, and really productive. She would be one of the first females picked here at pasture and is a special one that we will build around. We mated her to LCDR Favor on the strength of his type and the great Sugar C4 donor cow - one of my absolute favorite cows in the breed. We have been very impressed with our group of Favor calves in 2022, with Grass Roots Donna 225 leading the way, and we are expecting a strong amount again for 2023. Donna 225 is an attractive, big middled, complete female that appears to have perfect teat size and placing. She is the type of 3/4 female that has so many breeding options to produce extremely high quality purebred offspring. We are infinitely confident in her production abilities and proud of her representation of our program. 100K tested.
