Reference Sire

Sterling was a bull I kept from a favourite heifer of mine because I really thought he was something special and knew one day we would need a bull to take over Mission’s role as a heifer bull. Our neighbors used him for 3 years with great success on cows and heifers and he calved quick and calves were up quick. Last year I knew it was time for us to use him and he has been nothing but a mirror image of Mission. Calves do come out quick and easy and are up in no time nursing even if they were born outside in not-so-great weather. He prints his calves the same. They develop thickness in the rump and should have a good set of feet to walk on. If you don’t believe me have a look at the commercial heifers we are bringing for auction.

Chonky has been another favourite bull of mine this year. Born unassisted out of a heifer, he has developed into probably the thickest bull in our offering. So much like Sterling in every way. As Sterling is starting to get older I was considering keeping Chonky for myself. Chonky will be a moderate framed bull that I think could be used on second calvers or smaller cows and you’ll be pleased with the results. His dam is a single, goggled eyed black cherry colored heifer who is due to calve as I’m writing this. Chonky was handled a lot as a calf and likes people, is very easy to work with and eager to get to work. Look for some of Chonky’s half sisters to sell in this sale. You’ll be able to pick them out as Sterling makes them all the same. If you like your calves chunky, you need to get Chonky.

You’ll notice I like to talk about cow families and Ransom belongs to one of the best we have. His great-grandmother is none other than our Larissa cow that has given us more females we have retained I think than from any other female here. I just won’t give them up. Larissa just calved this year at 15 years and still has a phenomenal udder. Ransom has a very nice 75 lbs birth weight and born out of a heifer should make him a good candidate for a heifer bull, and a 945 lbs weaning weight is nothing to scoff at either. I think his dam is going to be around for a long time to come.

Marathon is out of a first calf heifer that I think did a fine job on her first go around. Just an 80 lbs birth weight bull should make him useable in many different situations. Maybe not as flashy as some of the other bulls, but flashy doesn’t get the cows bred.
