We invite you to join us for lunch, hospitality and viewing the bulls prior to the sale! February 9, 2024 • Lunch 11:30 am • Bull Sale 1:00 pm

ard to believe 25 years has gone by so fast. On behalf of all of us at Anchor D Ranch, we welcome you to our 25th annual Genetic Edge Bull Sale. So many changes have taken place in that time frame. The expansion of the Fleckvieh herd to the addition of both the Purebred and Charolais divisions. Our kids have grown up and both moved into their own places, but are both extremely active in the Ranch. It is so gratifying to watch them both chase and fulfil their dreams, and we are so blessed to have them on this journey with us. The one thing that has not changed is our commitment to the Ag industry and our focus on producing the best product we can. Remembrance day has always been a special day in our hearts to honor the true heroes. Another hero was added to that list this year as that is the day my dad, Delmer passed away. Although my parents were never involved in the seed stock industry, they were both a driving force behind our program. Supportive, encouraging and fantastic role models and great cattlemen. I vividly remember the day our seed stock journey began back in 1981, when a persistent 10 year old boy (who may have skipped school) was determined to buy the bull that I thought we should have. Mom & Dad really only needed one bull that day, and they already bought the bull they wanted, but my pick was still coming. I was truly being a pain, and I still remember dad saying “If you really want him, YOU buy him”, and so I did. Little did we know, this was the start of “Anchor D Simmentals”. The years to follow registered females were acquired, and all because of one bull. It still ranks as one of the proudest days of my life, and I would almost be willing to bet one of the proudest for my parents as well. So thanks Mom and Dad. Although Dad isn’t physically with us, he always will be. As far as this past year the best way to describe it would be WOW! Really hard to put into words. I always go back and read last year’s opening letter, for one; to not duplicate, but just see what my thoughts were about the year ahead. I had mentioned last year that the calves sold this past fall would be the highest you have sold, which was the case. I also feel the bulls you purchase this spring will show the largest impact in your bottom line over the next few years. All trends point to the fact that we have fewer producers and more demand, with fewer products. I still feel we have several good years ahead of us, and quality will still demand a premium. It’s important to buy the best bull that suits your program as he is the largest single factor to impact your program. As far as the pen of bulls themselves, we are actually a few fewer Simmental bulls than past years. We didn’t feel this was a year to increase those numbers just reflecting on cow herd numbers in general. Contrary to that with the addition of the Charolais division and still expanding this program, those numbers are slightly larger than last year. In any case we are

Gary Waldron

very proud of all the bulls we have on offer. We feel as though we produce them with the commercial cattleman’s goals and needs in mind. In all three divisions you will find both performance and calving ease bulls. Bulls that come from established cow families, backed by serious bull power and raised right to last. Regardless of what type of bull you are looking for the write ups on each bull should help steer you in the right direction to suit your needs. These bulls are derived from a large cow herd and we feel as though we have done our due diligence at culling and selecting to insure only the best are here. You have heard us say this before; we don’t just want to sell you one bull today. We want to sell you many bulls over time. We are committed to this relationship and are a part of your team. Please stop in or call to discuss your needs and let us help assist you in making your selection to come up with the right bull for your needs. We would be more than happy to show you the bull pen, and pretty good chance there will be a hot coffee on. Videos will be posted prior to the sale and anyone unable to attend in person; please don’t hesitate to contact ourselves or any of our staff to discuss your needs. Hopefully you can make it to the sale Friday, February 9th for our 25th annual sale. Dan, Karen, Mackenzie & Garren Skeels

Feed & Bull Development Our bulls are raised on a TMR ration, consisting of 2/3 cereal silage and 1/3 corn silage, as well as 10 lbs. of Bull Ration, and free choice mineral. They are raised in a 5 acre yard so they have lots of room for exercise, and are able to go out and cover the ground. We appreciate they could be fed to be bigger, but we also are very proud of the fact we have bulls still out working well into their early teens. The bulls will remain on the same ration up until delivery so they remain on a steady balanced diet to ensure proper development.

Health All bulls are under the watchful eye of Gull Lake Veterinary Services. They receive Vitamin AD&E as well as MUSE at birth. Express 5 and Covexin Plus prior to grass, as well as Express 10 and Covexin Plus, and boosters after weaning. Clean Up and Safeguard in December.

Anchor D Ranch Simmentals Influenced Calf Sales One thing we are always trying to do is figure out ways to add value for you, our customers. For the past several years we have been hosting the “Anchor D Simmental Influenced Calf Sales”, the first week of October. This allows feedlots to purchase large groups of calves with similar genetics, and health protocol in a timely fashion or producers wanting to capitalize on acquiring top end replacement females. This also allows for maximum dollars to be realized as it is added value for both buyer and seller. We are pleased that we will now be adding Charolais calves into the mix this year as well, so be sure to take advantage. For anyone interested in becoming a part of these sales please contact Dan for more details.

Fleckvieh Division We are extremely proud of our Fleckvieh division. This was where it all started and the cow herd has grown from its humble beginning to the 300 plus mother cows we have in this section today. We have really focused on the importance of cow families, not just in our cow herd but our bull battery as well. We have been very dedicated in trying to source not only new genetics, but the best genetics for our program. Most of the bulls offered in the Fleckvieh division are from our walking herd sires with a handful coming from our AI program. Even though there are differences in the herd bulls, there are some qualities we insist on in every bull. Feet & Legs, Disposition, Maternal, and calving ability. These are qualities we feel we can’t neglect, and are qualities we feel are valuable to our customers as well. The bulls will be pictured in the order of their sire groups.

Ah the “Salty Dawg”, a bull who has garnished some attention. He is a bull who was noticed by many all summer long. He is a bull who adds a very different twist to many polled pedigrees, and has the added bonus of being Homozygous polled. He has loads of thickness and muscle shape, dark red, great hair and a tremendous disposition. His dam was an incredibly easy keeping cow, and always displayed like she could have been in the show pen year round. She has two sons in production, one being “Zam” one of the feature herd bulls for Madge Simmentals, a second owned by Wendy Pellett. “Salty Dawg” is a bull who has huge potential and should do great things in his time. Pucker up and get ready for the “Salty Dawg”.

“Abracadabra” is another highly anticipated bull with such huge potential. His dam “Ziley” has become our full time lead donor cow now and has an extremely impressive track record, with her progeny sold to date averaging an impressive $37,000. Most notably “Raptor” who has had a large impact on the breed.“Ziley” is a cow that always impresses visitors, as she not only looks the part, she delivers. We haven’t necessarily bred with the intensions of producing Polled cattle, we just try to produce cattle that will work for the industry, and polled is a bonus for us. “Abracadabra” has all the bells and all the whistles. Watch him work his magic!

“Kash is King” is a bull that just grows on you more and more each day. His dam is very much a favorite young cow, who has a great pedigree that combines both calving ease and performance. I think this bull will be a valuable asset to any herd as he will be as diverse as they come. A bull that will provide calving ease but also still add that extra punch of performance, all in a perfectly sculpted package with great color pattern, extra hair, superb pedigree and topped off by being Polled as well. Zero doubt in my mind “Kash is King” will create a lot of $$’s in his time.

“Lachute” has always been a pen favorite, right from birth. His dam is without question one of our favorite cows, as she is an absolute sweet heart to work with, and always brings in a ripper. As a first calver she lost her baby a month premature, we milked her for a month and she still took a baby, that’s the disposition we are dealing with, and makes you understand why she’s a family favorite cow. This fall she had an outstanding daughter in our production sale selling to Stone Hill Farm, and also has progeny working for Randy Chubak, Dalyn Woloshyn as well as ourselves. This is a tremendous bull and he will be very easy to find sale day. Trust me you will like him.

This is the natural calf from “Kael”. He is a bit smaller than his pen mates, as he is a twin, so please take that into consideration. His full sister “Kaylee” was to be one of the feature heifers in this falls production sale, but a foot injury kept her from participating. She gathered much attention as a calf when she was shown and again this fall and we look forward to seeing what she will do in our own program. Please look at “Lindholm” for what he will do, as his performance is skewed being a twin. He has as strong of pedigree and potential as any bull we will have on offer.

“Lachlan” was one of a small handful of bulls who were weaned very early, as his dam went to town. We weaned him late July and he was kicked out on grass with the fall calves, and I would say he fended very well for himself. This is a bull with lots of style and eye appeal, with fabulous length, dark red, heavily pigmented and polled. His dam was a deep bodied cow backed by a great cow family. In fact her grand dam has yet another bull in the sale pen this year (lot #47) and is still producing at age 14. Lots of longevity in this guy.

One of the best parts about raising a pen of bulls is watching them develop. “Pecos In My Pocket” has been a calf I have had my eye on from birth. Not because he was the big flashy calf in the pen, but because of his structure and his potential of what he will bring to the table. This bull is smooth and fine built, and I have always personally felt one of the toughest things to find is that bull that offers enough calving ease but more than just a calving ease bull. I think that’s this bull to a tee. I would personally feel pretty confident in sorting up the right pen of heifers for him, but expect extra punch after they hit the ground. Then just look at the pedigree if that’s not marketable I’m not sure what is. Then the fact that he just happens to be blood red heavily pigmented and oh ya Homozygous Polled too! No doubt “Pecos In My Pocket” will add extra Pecos in your pockets.

“Lanco” is one of the youngsters in this year’s sale. Always one of the toughest things we do is try to raise some of these buckskin bulls. Years upon years of breeding dark reds they are very tough to come by. The dam of “Lanco” is marked and colored just like him, and honestly you bring a good set of buckskin steers to town in any local market you have the potential to bring home a big cheque. The bonus here is you also have the opportunity to double down and cash in on a replacement heifer market too. Simply the best of both worlds all rolled into one package. Here he is.

Our fall calving program is very small in numbers, but does offer an opportunity to those who want a bull with a bit more age. We weaned these calves the first of June and they just went out on grass, so there is no extra pampering in these guys. When we weaned the winter born calves, they just went on feed with them. These bulls are bred to last. “Krimson” comes from an outstanding “Epic” daughter. This bull will be a big performance bull, with different management his numbers would look completely different, but trust me this is going to be an incredible performance bull that will produce a top end group of calves and comes in a polled package as an added bonus.

“Kurfew” is the calving ease option of these three fall calvers. He is a very smooth fronted finer built bull, who still possesses enough growth and power. He comes from a beautiful young cow we purchased from Eagle Ridge and is multiple generations of polled genetics. This is a bull I feel quite confident in that he will work in any situation you need him for, and expect the majority of his calves to come polled in the process. Just a very honest bull that will develop into a head turner.

This is the final calf for the dam of “Kershaw”. This was a fabulous producing cow in her time, and she actually only ever had two other bull calves, one being “Sorcerer” who ended up being a herd bull for Rocking R and later came back to our own herd as a mature bull, the second being “Apex” a herd bull for Stone Simmentals. She was unfortunately open this fall but as an 11 year old cow she was still as sound as they come. This bull has a very bright future. There is a great pedigree, longevity, and a track record to back him up.

Some of you may have already seen “Salizar” this summer as he was the bull calf Garren showed, and he went on to be named Champion Bull at the Alberta YCSA show. He comes from a fantastic cow family that never misses. Tracing back to our old “Image 21J” cow family, this is a cow family that has probably raised as many outstanding bulls for us as any. You can just count on big performance quality calves, and when it’s a bull you know it will be near the front of the pen. We are very happy with the job “Sheamus” has done for us. This is only his second calf crop with group one averaging just shy of $13,000. This is a powerful string of bulls lead off by “Salizar”.

You want performance, well here it is. “Lanahan” was the #2 indexing bull at weaning and the #1 indexing bull as a yearling. This is a big time performance bull that also looks the part. The pedigree is also something to really admire. His dam is a full sister to our old “Montana” bull. He is a bull we sold to Ferrybank Colony as a yearling and were fortunate enough to purchase him back as a 3 year old. We unfortunately lost him before we ever were able to draw semen on him, and his daughters are now all gone but several granddaughters are still in the herd and are they ever good. He is a bull we used with great success in our heifer pen, but then they had that explosive growth. “Lanahan” is a bull you will use on your mature cows, and my free advice is keeping as many daughters as you can from him. Everything is right about this bull.

The “Sheamus” calves are the power group for the most part, and “Prophecy” certainly puts an exclamation mark on that comment. Another big power bull backed by a great cow family again, going back to “Herlinde”. If you want longevity it’s stacked all the way through on this guy, with a triple shot of “Dorothy Jane” sprinkled in the mix. Just look at the actual weaning weight and tell me that isn’t what the beef business is all about. This guy has been a standout right from day one. He’s always had the look. I can only imagine a set of his steers in the feedlot, they will be awesome, not to mention the set of replacement females this guy will produce, and did I mention he’s polled too? Zero guess work here.

I can’t begin to say enough good things about the “Sheamus” sire group. This bull adds so much muscle shape and dimension, added growth, great foot structure, color and pigmentation, and possesses the polled gene himself. His first daughters are just starting to produce and to describe them in one word would be WOW! He produced our high selling female this fall selling to Ferme Gagnon, just everything adds up. “Shady” is a bull I have always liked but this last month he has kicked it into over drive. Not a thing I would change about him, and once again backed by Garren’s #1 cow family in “Tyra”. This bull is the straight goods.

Another powerful polled bull. “Carl” isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, as I appreciate he does have some birth weight. Don’t get me wrong I don’t want a bunch of big birth weight calves either, however when mature cows can just lay down and have them I honestly prefer them to 70 lb. calves. The dam of “Carl” was a beautiful cow we purchased in the Rocking R herd, and she was a fabulous producer. A no miss cow, that could be bred to any bull, and you just expected it to be good. “Carl” is going to sire a tremendous set of steer calves that will no doubt wean off heavy in the fall. Add this bull into the mix on your mature cow herd, you can thank me later.

Type wise I think “Intel” reminds me the most of his sire. This is a big hipped stout made bull, that just gets thicker made every day. He is from a very nice young cow that traces back to the “Image 21J” cow family again. Once again this is a cow family that is most noted for making power bulls. “Intel” is no exception to that.

A very frequent term we use around here is “Flower Sniffer”. Well “Topaz” truly is a “Flower Sniffer”. This bull comes by his laid back nature quite honestly as the whole “Tyra” cow family is as laid back and happy as they come. I would dare say this could be the sleeper of the “Sheamus” sire group, but don’t pass him by. This is a bull that has so many good qualities to offer. Broad topped, deep sided, a big solid foot, a great cow family, tremendous disposition and he is scurred as well so he possesses the polled gene as well. Just a very solid choice that will fit into everyone’s budget and needs.

“Luca” is another of the calves we weaned in late July and was turned back out on grass to fend for himself, so yes his numbers don’t truly show the full picture. He is a bull we have really liked all along, and his dam was a very solid producer for us. She is a cow we purchased from Mike Imler, and was no stranger to adding calves into the sale pen. “Luca” is a bull with a lot of upside, and I think as he develops he will become extremely similar to his sire. A very solid bull that will work on any type of cow.

Not all accidents are bad. One morning we woke up to discover two of the sale bulls got out during the night for a quick visit to the cow pen. Apparently they did more than just visit. We have sent DNA off to see who they are sired by. Both bulls that got out were “French Attack” sons, so we are certain on ¾ of their pedigree. At this point we cannot guarantee they will be sold with papers, if they come back confirmed to “Iconic” they will be papered, as our hired man Gary bought him so he is being used in a purebred herd. Regardless this is a pretty solid pair of bulls, and I guess it goes without saying fertility is very high in both of them. Both bulls come from great cow families with lots of longevity in both cow families, and they are performance bulls that will no doubt turn big weaning weights into cash.

“Belle Boy” is an embryo calf directly from Garren’s “Clarabelle” cow. Tracing back of coarse to his “Tyra” cow family. Being a direct son of “Viper” I can only begin to imagine how bright this bull’s future will be. For anyone looking to expand a cow herd, there is zero doubt in my mind this is a bull to focus on. The maternal strengths here will be second to none, and you won’t be sacrificing performance to achieve it. Do yourself a favor and if you are fortunate enough to purchase this guy keep every daughter he produces, this is how cow herds are made.

The very first “French Attack” calf crop we raised a bull called “Shazam”, who unfortunately was injured prior to the sale, and we were forced to pull him. I guess it ended up being fate, as his first calf crop he produced “Sheamus” who you’ve seen his influence in the catalogue already. “Frontier” is a full brother to “Shazam”, and certainly a bull who could have his own impact on the breed. This is a bull who you really have to appreciate his structural soundness, his muscle pattern, his thick hair coat, all topped off in a dark red polled package. His dam “Bettanna” has been a solid producer for us and will enter into our ET program this year. Here is an opportunity to get in on a bull that the guess work has already been taken away on, as this is as proven of cross as it gets.

I have also stated I feel “French Attack” is the best bull we have ever owned. I don’t know if I can endorse “Belmont” more than that. Not much more can really or needs to be said. Garren sold embryos this fall in our production sale off of his full sister “Gisele” for $5600/ embryo.

He was a standout right from birth, and still completely looks the part. This is a big broad topped, deep soggy made bull that will produce a wicked set of steer calves. If I could offer free advice for anyone with a set of straight angus cows, red or black this bull would be a dynamite cross on them. This bull is all meat no potatoes and as good as they come.

As “French Attack” moves into his 9th breeding season for us this spring, he has been the bull who has probably had the largest impact on our herd. He is a bull that adds foot structure, muscle, stamps the most perfect udders on his daughters, and also adds longevity and stay ability. Well all those same traits can be said for the cow family behind “Braxton”. He is a bull that just continues to climb the ladder in my books. I really like everything about this bull from his type and style to his pedigree and outstanding dam.

“Lakota” just so happens to be a full brother to “Gibraltar” who was one of our high selling bulls a few years ago, selling to DJ Farms in Ontario. This bull made quite a splash this fall in their production sale producing an absolutely outstanding set of females that were highly sought after. His semen on the market has also created quite a buzz. Each year as calving progresses, and we tend to get to the back end of the cows, our birth weights increase, as those cows don’t get enough exercise as they get locked in smaller space and simply spend time at the bunk. Regardless his dam just plopped down and had “Lakota” with no issues and we actually weighed him twice as we thought that can’t be right, but it was. I guess end story is know that these bigger birth weight bulls have a harder task making the pen simply because we know many people aren’t even going to look at them, so they have to be good. Do yourself a favor, you’re going to save a few dollars and be able to purchase one from one of the most proven crosses we have. For dollars invested this will be a tremendous buy. 2024 bull sale

I appreciate the depth of pedigree of this bull as he truly is years, and years in the making, and he will be a bull that will sire a group of feedlot steers that are second to none.

“Lonsdale” comes from a full sister to “Mr. Gibbs”. He is certainly a bull that left a large impact on our herd, and his dam “Tyra” was extremely influential as well. We do refer to the “Tyra” cow family quite often, but that cow family also traces back to the “Image 21J” cow family, which has been one of our best. This is a bull who is stacked in pedigree, and will no doubt be a bull that will combine calving ease, growth and strong maternal characteristics all in one package. Not the flashiest bull in the pen but a bull that will do a great job.

Another of Garren’s bulls from his “Abby” cow. She has been a steady producer for him over the years, and for a “B” model cow I dare you to find a better uddered individual in the herd. “Lotto” is a bull that should live up to his name, because when you market his calves it should be like hitting the jackpot. Our herd is very maternally bred anyways, but this is another bull I would highly encourage keeping lots of daughters off of, and not to worry about sacrificing the big weaning weights on his steer calves. He will be stacked from top to bottom, and they will just be darn good.

A few years ago “Ozark” was our high selling bull, going to Wolfe Farms & Silver Lake Farms, and the dam of “Lotus” just so happens to be a full sister. The grand dam “Adel” was a steady producer with offspring selling to Reiny Weeks, Croft Creek Ranch, Graff Simmentals, Madge Simmentals, Champ Simmentals & Walcoalty Enterprises in addition to “Ozark”. To say this cow could get the job done was an understatement. “Lotus” will be a bull that just continues to get better and better with time.

“Yellowjacket” has been a family favorite right from birth. He comes from Mackenzie’s “Tinkerbell” cow, who simply never has a bad day. This is a cow that gets picked out by pretty well everyone when they come tour, as she always looks the part, but more importantly she delivers time and time again. “Yellowjacket” will be an extremely easy keeping, easy fleshing bull, that will sire thick soggy made calves that will push down extra hard on the scale. Pretty tough to find a fault in this bull as he is as good as we can make them. Put an extra check mark by him in your catalogue, he’s worth a second look.

“Langley” is a bull that always fools me, you don’t realize how big he is until you get him in and work with him. This is a bull with extra growth and performance, and comes from a bigger framed cow Mackenzie purchased from Langer Fleckvieh. “Langley” is a bull that should add a bit of frame, power and performance to a set of calves. An extremely long bodied bull, with a great hair coat, dark red and heavily pigmented. I can only imagine how good a pen of steers sired by him will look.

“Lucas” stems back to another great cow family. His grand dam produced Lot #11, and as mentioned in his footnotes she has only ever had two other bull calves, both making it into Purebred herds. “Lucas” is a bit more moderate in frame, and extremely stout made. He should be a very easy keeper, and as a baby you could tell he had that herd bull look. He strutted around bold and proud and had presence about him. I think this will be another bull that can work for pretty well everyone on a wide variety of cows and being able to stamp his calves very similar. This is a bull that will add consistency to a herd.

“Calipso” is a little brother to one of last year’s feature bulls in “One More Reason” who sold to Double Bar D Farms. He is a plainer marked bull so not the big flashy guy who is the first to be found in the pen, but certainly a bull that once you find him and analyze him, he’s pretty tough not to like. His dam was a larger framed cow that was as well of put together of female as you could find. Unfortunately she came in open this fall, but left behind a great bull to end her career on. This is a bull that you won’t have to break the piggy bank to own, but he will cause you to have to buy a new one anyways with the extra dollars he will generate.

Yes he is a little smaller than the group as he is a younger calf, and once again won’t be a year old until after the sale, but there is a lot of upside to this bull. “Chungo” certainly has a different twist in pedigree as there are very limited numbers of “Jungle” cattle in Canada. His grand dam is none other than “Tyra”, and from what we see of the “Bowman’s” to this point indicate deep bodied easy keeping cattle with tremendous disposition.

“Kasper” is a more moderate refined bull. He is a bull that intrigues me in the fact he is very low birth weight and built very much like a calving ease bull, but has a pedigree that boasts performance. This could be an absolute diamond in the rough as I feel he will be a calving ease bull, but there could be so much more performance and growth to his calves once they hit the ground. I’ve always stated one of the toughest jobs is to find that calving ease bull with the extra jam and performance we ask for. This bull could very well be the bull that delivers it all.

“Lincoln” boasts a very different pedigree for us. The “Fort Knox” cattle we have in production we like very much. We don’t have huge numbers of “Windsurfer” daughters in production, but the ones we do have are exceptional. The bottom of this pedigree is complete out cross for us as the grand dam was the result of an embryo that came to Canada from Buzzard Hollow Ranch in Texas. The “Zulu” cattle we seen were phenomenal, and the “Paragon 63C” cow is a female we tried to buy as a bred heifer but were fortunate to acquire a few embryos from her. This is probably the sleeper of this sire group as I expect him to do some really great things. Perhaps a little slower out of the gate but he will finish the race hard. 2024 bull sale

“Lexington” is the second youngest bull in this year’s sale. Note the performance on this March calf who will just be 11 months old come sale day. His dam has been a knock out producer for us over the years, boasting several high sellers herself, and still as sound as they come at age 14 years of age. Our biggest regret with her was only ever retaining one daughter for ourselves. In her 12 calves absolutely everyone has made it into the keeper pen. Pretty impressive track record. She also always calved near the front of calving season with two exceptions, when we had a bull who ended up not working, and this guy. Interestingly enough both times she fired right back and bred back for January again. Longevity, fertility, and production, this is a young bull who deserves a big look, and would cost a lot more later on in sale season.

This will be our first calf crop from “Yellowstone”.

We were able to acquire a flush in Texas from the “Lady Keona” cow, a direct “Siegfried” daughter, and really felt this would provide a different element to pedigree. We are very happy with the job he did for us and we think you will like the small sample of his sons in this year’s sale. “Laharum” is a middle of the road bull that will just be as honest as the day is long.

“Frasier” is a super stout made bull, who comes from one of the most picture perfect cows on the place, “Anna Maria”. This is a female who gets noticed by many and truly is a front pasture type female. It certainly doesn’t hurt that she is a direct daughter of “Tyra”, but don’t take anything away from her on her own. This female can stand right alongside the best of them. “Frasier” is a bull that is going to make them super thick, deep sided, broad topped and easy keeping. He has a fantastic set of feet and legs and lots of longevity in the whole pedigree. Another solid choice to raise some front end replacement females from, and not give up anything in the process.

One of the unfortunate parts of having a sale this early is that some of these younger bulls are a little underappreciated. I think this bull is very appropriately named, as he truly will be a weapon in your bull battery. I think this youngster has so much potential, and will do wonders. Keep in mind sale day he will just be turning a year old. There is zero doubt in my mind this is a bull that would demand that much more attention in a late March sale. Use that to your advantage sale day, as he is a great opportunity.

There is no doubt in my mind this will be one of the sleepers in this year’s sale. “Lyster” is from a beautiful second calving female, who raised a set of twins as a first calver. A very big ask, so she didn’t have an easy go in her first year. She did breed back a little later, but the key is she did breed back, and did a decent job on this young bull while still developing herself. Now coming with her third calf she has gained time, looks right on par with his contemporary group. I think it speaks volumes to the fertility she has, and how well this young bull has done with all things considered. As I stated this will likely be one of the sale sleepers. A pretty darn good bull who will just continue to get better and better as he develops.

“Lyndon” is the youngest bull in this year’s offering. We had considered holding him just due to his age, but the performance this young bull has and how he’s been keeping pace with the pack we felt he deserved to be in. Note his birth date, as he truly is just a baby. Now considering many of these bulls won’t go out until May, June or July this guy will have more than enough size and growth to do the job. I would say this guy would love to find a home with someone who has a set of straight Angus cows. He will give you a little extra chrome to cash in on the Simmental advantage, but as I said just look at this guy’s growth pattern. He is the real deal, a true stud in the making.

“Hizenburg” is another complete knockout. We only have the two “Reputation” sons in the sale this year, but they are both pretty special. Regardless if your program is marketing your steer calves directly off the cow, back grounding or finishing, “Hizenburg” will be a bull that will raise those heavy weight steer calves time and time again. I know the birth weight will deter some. Truthfully if our cows can’t have a calf this size on their own we don’t want them around. I don’t foresee him throwing monster calves. I’m certainly not encouraging you to put him on your heifers or second calvers, but on a set of mature calves you shouldn’t see any issues only benefits. A performance bull that you will reap huge rewards from.

“Trump Card” is a Polled bull from our first calf crop from “Sarge”. This is a bull who is moderately made with huge hip shape, deep bodied, broad topped, and possesses an awesome hair coat, and comes in a polled package. With all our new herd bulls they get a wide variety of females to work on to see where they excel. We only have the two sons this year as we were heifer heavy, and both these young bulls come from second calvers, so I think there may be a little more performance there than what meets the eye. At the end of the day this is a very versatile bull that will work on a broad spectrum of cows and should do a great job in the process. You can never go wrong if you have a “Trump Card” in your hand.

Most of the time there is a back story behind some of the different names on some of the bull calves. When sorting cows up this spring, the dam of this bull was originally slated to be in a different sire group. When this guy strolled by as a baby we had a “Second Thought” and decided she should go back in the same pen. This bull is very similar in stature to his sire. “Sarge” is probably the most extreme bull we have in our sire group. He has such a huge hip, and is as wide topped as they come. He isn’t as deep as some of the other bulls but we felt a polled bull with much muscle shape we would use him on some of the extremely deep bodied cows and this cross should be great. The dam of “Second Thought” is a little more refined, as is the bull himself. This is a bull who possesses great length, and is very smooth made. He should be a bull that calves quite well and will provide that extra muscling. Have a second look at “Second Thought”.

She has produced herd bulls for Travis Trask, Pinto Cow Ranch, Croft Creek Ranch, Springside Colony, Bar K Cattle Co & KGM Welding, not to mention a daughter who has an equally impressive track record in our herd as well. Age is maybe beginning to catch up to her a bit, as I would honestly expect a little more birth weight here than what it reads on paper, and perhaps a little more performance as well.

We used “Barbossa” with huge success on our heifers for years, and now with a limited semen bank on him we are very selective on the females that get bred that way. “Barbossa” himself never really produced a set of bulls that just blew you away, they are good honest calving ease bulls. His value was in the calving aspect, but then further to that is the daughters he produced and what their production record have been. More often than not, several of the front end bulls have been from a “Barbossa” dam. “Zinger” comes from a tremendous young cow backed by a great cow family. Look to him to provide that calving ease, but yes his daughters will be superb. They won’t be the biggest cows but very well could raise the biggest calves

“Luongo” has a similar story to the last bull, in the fact that he comes from an off aged heifer so she certainly had a lot more size and power, and we were hoping to achieve added growth and performance in the resulting calf….success. In all the years of raising “Barbossa” calves we have never had a son of his remind me so much of the bull himself. Other than facial markings this bull is so similar, and if he turns out to be half as good he will be a bell ringer. This is a bull I would certainly not hesitate to use on my heifers, and expect more than just a calf. Another bull backed by a heifer I feel is pretty special with a great cow family behind her.

She is a dark red cow with extra pigmentation, and is extremely thick and very easy keeping. “Lawler” is going to develop into a pretty special young bull.

My free advice is if you do purchase a “Barbossa” son don’t give up on them too early, they don’t look like much when they start out, but they really come on fast when they get going.

“Lexxon” will complete the Fullblood section, and he is a pretty cool bull to wrap up with. He is the lone “Radioactive” son, as we now use him simply through AI. Several of the sale heifers were bred to him so our numbers were very limited. “Lexxon” is a bull with a degree of calving ease, who could be used on bigger more developed heifers, second calvers or certainly cows, as this bull does have just that much more performance as well. We now have several “Radioactive” daughters in production and they are awesome. Very mellow dispositions, moderate and easy keeping, lots of hair and perfect udders. This is a bull that will work in every situation and comes in a polled package. If you don’t like him then you probably don’t like home cooking either.

Purebred Division We expanded our Purebred division about 20 years ago, when we branched out on our own from a joint bull sale. Over the past few years we have really felt we have taken it to the point where we were ready for the next step. One key to that was with the purchase of “El Dorado” last year, who we are very anxious to have his sons in next year sale, as well as a few key females added to build around. Because of the smaller numbers in this section we have relied a bit more on AI rather than walking bulls to add enough diversity. We have stayed very focused on the same aspects in this division as our Fleckvieh cattle focusing on the strengths of cow families and structural soundness. This spring we will breed about 100 Purebred females, with about 2/3 red & 1/3 black.

Look to “Lexus” to add extra thickness, muscle shape and ease of fleshing. There will be no lack of maternal strengths either as the “Matador” daughters are super milky cows. This is a pretty cool baldie bull backed by a great cow family and a different twist on the top side of the pedigree, being a ¼ Fleckvieh himself, all in a Homozygous Polled package.

This is a very nice pair of bulls. “Lindel” was raised naturally on his own dam, and “Lithgow” was fostered onto a second calver. They come from a super nice cow we purchased from Oakview Simmentals in Manitoba, and she just happens to be the grand dam of Lot #76 as well as Lot #82. This is a very easy keeping cow with a beautiful udder and a super disposition. She has been extremely productive for us over the years, and her daughters have been retained for our own herd and her two sons sold to date have both went to purebred herds, Homestead T Simmentals & Stone Simmentals. A lot of the guess work has been taken out with the proven track record on the dam’s side and I certainly expect to see big things in the future from their sire “Cinderella Man”. These bulls are Homozygous Polled by pedigree, and are a pair of bulls that will do great things in their time.

“Lennox” comes from one of my favorite Purebred cows, tracing back to the great “Pocahontas 105L” cow family. This cow has been as solid of producer for us as we have. She has progeny working for Ferrybank Farming, Hagstrom Farm, Ron Sperber, Battrum Cattle Co, Van de Velde Cattle Co and ourselves. The potential of this bull will be phenomenal, and the “Captain Scream” daughters we have in production are super good.

“Top Notch” is an extremely thick deep bodied dark red bull. His dam is a larger framed black cow, that we thought would cross very well with “Top Tier”. There is a very limited amount of semen still available on this bull, and we have used him with very good success in our heifer pen. He is a bull that provides extra calving ease, but still enough punch. The dam of “Top Tier” is a phenomenal female, that we felt had so much future in her, we were fortunate enough to acquire her in the WLB dispersal. Last year she raised our high selling Purebred bull going to Silver Smith Farms. “Top Notch” will be a very easy keeping bull that will make them thick and soggy add hair, width, and great foot structure, and comes in a Homozygous Polled package.

We purchased the dam of “Epic” from Todd Simmentals in Quebec, and this is the coupon she was carrying. We haven’t used his sire ourselves before so this is our first “Epic” calf. I know he has been used widely as a calving ease bull and all reports that I have heard is he is very consistent and reliable. I am going to suggest for anyone looking for a red heifer bull this will be a nice choice. His dam is a super young female, and we are such huge fans of her sire “Tycoon”. I think everything stacks up on paper for this bull to be an absolute winner. Homozygous Polled by pedigree.

The sire of “Ledger” is “Sleep Easy”, a bull who has certainly lived up to his name. We have used this bull for a few years now in the heifer pen and he has been bomb proof for us, and we really like the grow in the calves as well. “Ledger” comes with a completely different twist on pedigree, coming from a ½ Fleckvieh cow. His grand dam has been a solid producer and we mentioned her as being the dam of Lot #77 & 78 already. This is a calving ease bull I would feel very confident about sending to anyone, as I think he will be very reliable, and I expect him to deliver a really nice set of calves in the process. If you want extra sleep at night then “Ledger” should make your short list.

“Lazarus” has been one of my favorite Purebred calves from the day he was born, he has always had the look. This is our very first set of calves from “Whiskey” and he delivered for us. The dam of “Lazarus” is a female that we adore. She was shown as a calf which certainly contributes to her gentle nature, she is as picture perfect as they come, and is backed by an outstanding cow family. Her dam has the distinct honor of being the oldest female on the farm this year at age 15, and is looking great, and gave us another really nice calf last year. I see such a bright future for this bull, and really think the new owner is going to be more and more impressed with him each and every day. A bull that will bring in a big set of calves in the fall, add longevity, udder and foot quality, great hair and body type. Everything is right with this “Lazarus”.

Her first calf is an outstanding heifer we ended up retaining for our own herd. “Layton” is just her second calf, and is a bull with a moderate enough birth weight, very user friendly and still has enough performance to really get things done. These “Whiskey” calves are stout and hairy, that are certainly put together right. It certainly doesn’t hurt to have a shot of “Barbossa” on the bottom side of the pedigree as well.

You will notice a few of these purebred bulls that come from “Excalibur” daughters. He is a bull we used with great success, and just due to our smaller purebred numbers we have a quicker turnover rate on these bulls to try and keep new genetics for our customers. Same philosophy in all of our breeding sections is focus on the strengths of cow families. “Excalibur” came from the great “Flirt” cow family, and “Lamport” comes from a cow stemming back to a great Fleckvieh cow family in “Bar None Lois”. This young cow raised a knockout bull last year selling to Trevor & Doug Duke. She has produced another dandy again this year in “Lamport”. He’s the right kind.

This guy will be thick and chunky. He stems back to a Parkhill Ranch cow we purchased as a bred heifer who put one in the keeper pen every year. Her final 3 calves were all off of “Matador”. We retained two of these heifers for ourselves, one being the dam of “Lawson”, with the third selling this fall to Eastrise Cattle & Farms. If you want a proven track record look no further. Now to add to the story “Lawson” is this young cow’s second calf. Her first was also sold in our production sale this fall to Sengaus Bros. There is zero doubt in my mind this bull will be super productive and consistent, and will continue to impress for years to come.

I would bet this guy will flesh up on snowballs and sunshine. He is a moderate framed bull, super thick and hairy, with a huge broad top, heavy rear ¼ and as sound as you can build them. His dam is a stout made yet very stylish “Captain Scream” daughter that certainly grabs your attention. This cow looks great 24/7 and has the same fleshing ability as “Laredo”. This is a bull that you will use on a younger set of cows that you want to thicken up, yet keep the birth weight very much in check. He has also been tested Homozygous Polled as an added bonus.

She is another cow who has raised a calf that has made it to the keeper pen every year, as well as the fact that every year up until “Landen”, she has been bred on her very first service calving either late December or early January. Even though she calved in March last year, she has caught back up and is due in January again this year. Lots of fertility in this line, and “Landen” is another bull that will really impress as he matures. Keep his age in mind this will be a very good bull, bought right.

When I did the Wilson dispersal I was more than impressed with the “Untouchable” cattle, what a nice sire group as a whole.

This bull is without question a family favorite. “Rancher” has a back story. He was a standout at birth and then at about 2 1/2 months old he just slowed right down. His recip dam ended up very sick and dried up. We had a very nice cow who had just lost a calf and we thought we have nothing to lose at this point he won’t make a bull if he doesn’t get a mom. With some luck, a cooperative cow and a lot of patience (mostly Karen’s) a match was made and are we ever glad. This is a standout bull, who caught right back up. He is virtually flawless, and with the extra work he saw in the spring he has become a flower sniffer. He was always quiet, but that was the icing on the cake. End of the day, he’s an awesome bull, with an awesome pedigree, looking for an awesome new home.

We can’t say much about the sire as this is the first we have personally seen from him, however with the dam’s track record I would think this bull will mature as a medium framed bull that should be extremely easy keeping, sound and functional.

Well we that didn’t happen, but we did end up with a pretty cool baldie bull.“Bentley” comes from the great “Linette” cow family, and his sire “Bentley” was the high selling bull at LaBatte’s the year he sold. This is a bull with a wicked pedigree, a look to go with it, and is super docile. There is zero doubt in my mind this bull will be super productive, and he should stamp the “Money Stripe” on his calves in the process. Don’t miss out, opportunity is knocking.

Well where to begin with “Lebron”. He is a bull who certainly has a different pedigree. He is a ¼ Fleckvieh, going back to two of our donor cows on the bottom side in “Precious Thing & Painted Smile”. Then you look at the bulls on the bottom side in “Liner & Barbossa”. These aren’t genetic crosses you see every day so he does certainly provide a very unique pedigree. He is the lone “Wilson” in this year’s sale. We purchased “Wilson” as a calving ease bull, which he has fulfilled that job. His calves started off quite small, but came on strong. We honestly should have kept a few more. Look to “Lebron” to offer that extra calving ease, but also appreciate the muscle shape he has. He is a bull that offers so much more. I personally don’t think “Lebron” is the greatest of all time, but in the calving pen he has a shot.

2024 bull sale

Charolais Division This is our third year of selling Charolais bulls, and this is our biggest group we have offered. I have stated before if we were to turn back time and start over in the Simmental Breed I would go out and find an established herd of cows and try to select a core group from there. We were very fortunate in when we made the step into the Charolais program as that is essentially what we were able to do. A huge thank you to Bob Burla for allowing us this opportunity and to have such a fantastic working relationship with him. As far as the cows themselves we tried to focus on proven production records and cow families, so yes this is a new program for us, however you are buying into a longtime established program, which has made our job much easier as a lot of guess work, culling and selection process has already been done. We feel very confident in marketing this program, as yes its three years old to us, but it’s been years in the making. In addition I was fortunate enough to have helped market several of the brothers to these cows over the past several years so we had a pretty solid grasp of this cow herd before they ever became a part of our program. Another special shout out to Doug Moore, who really deserves as much credit in this venture as anyone. Back in the late 90’s I was honored to be chosen to be the auctioneer for Moore Charolais bull sale. This was a reputable breeding program that combined good cattle with good people. Their set of bulls always impressed me, and was a favorite sale of mine each spring. There was a herd bull by the name of “Cougarhill Hank” that blew me away, and I was always impressed with his sons every year. When the Moore herd was dispersed I said to Karen then (in 2001) we should go buy that bull. I’m not a little kid anymore, but living out a dream, as we will be selling our very first “Hank” sons in this year’s sale. We feel this is a very honest set of bulls that will complement our Simmental program, buy with confidence.

“Ajax” is another of the bulls who’s hard not to find in the pen. He has been a standout from birth and was a favorite all summer long. He has that herd bull look and is always profiling. I’d love to tell you every animal we own is perfect, but we all know that’s not the case. I would love to add a bit more depth of heel to his dam’s foot, and I think the cross with “Defender” will do just that. He is a big footed bull with great depth of heel. “Ajax” is a bull that will mature and have good size, power, length, width and muscle. I do think he is extremely complete and as he matures will be a fan favorite that will be hard to fault.

“Luxor” is very much a bull I would call a calving ease bull. Our vision for our Charolais program was to produce power bulls. Having said that we still need to add females in the program and have the bulls to use on them. I’ve always said one of the toughest jobs is to find that calving ease bull. We naturally gravitate to the power bulls in the pen. Well “Luxor” comes from a first calving heifer but I do feel he has more to offer than just a calving ease bull. I love the “Defender” daughters we have producing. He is a bull that throws performance, yet still offers enough calving ease. The dam of “Luxor” is a direct “Legend” daughter so no end of calving ease there. This is a nice combination resulting in an extremely user friendly bull. Use him on cows or heifers the choice is yours.

“Letang” is a very solid made bull. When we had the opportunity to assemble this group of Charolais cows, we used much of the same philosophy and tried to focus on productive cow families. The grand dam of this bull “730T” is a cow you will find in several of our pedigrees. “Letang” is a bull that will offer extra frame, growth and power. He will just be shy of a year of age sale day so please keep that in mind. I really quite like this bull and think there is a lot of potential in him. He will produce a smashing set of steer calves.

“Laramie” is another very young bull. His dam is a beautiful female, tracing back to the “24W” cow family. As I had mentioned earlier when we selected the Charolais cows we really tried to focus on proven production records and cow families. This is another cow family that will have some influence in our program. Yes our Charolais program is new to us, however it is an old established breeding herd for the most part with a new name. This is a bull that will be a big performance bull. Keep in mind these bulls are all fed in the same pen so these younger bulls are forced to belly up to the bar and compete. It may not be ideal as we should have them sorted into smaller groups but it is what it is. This is a bull that you will love as a two year old for sure. 2024 bull sale

When we selected this group of cows we were going for big powerful performance cows. Last year the dam of this bull popped out a smasher that sold to Lane Purdie. I liked the calf when he hit the ground, so much so we made sure we bred her back the same way. To me this is what the Charolais business is about. Big powerful performance cattle that will excel in the sale ring and the feedlot. I am a huge fan of “True North”. This bull has power, but is still built to calve and has lots of eye appeal. Absolutely a knock out in my opinion.

“Lancaster” comes from a deep bodied, broody “Bullhorn” female. We have a few of his daughters in our program. They are easy keeping cows with ample milk, very angular broad topped and broody. “Lancaster” will be a bull that kind of suits anyone’s program. Enough performance to still add extra pounds, but a very workable birth weight, very smooth fronted to offer enough added calving ease probably reflected on the bottom side through “Bluegrass”. This is just a very useful bull that will work on any type of cow and do a great job.

“Buff” is the only buckskin bull we have on offer. This is a larger framed bull that will add size, length and power. We did sell a full brother to him in last year’s sale selling to Simpson Cattle Co. He was one of the highest performing bulls in the group and although his younger brother doesn’t have quite the same performance the power in the pedigree is there. For anyone wanting the tan option this bull won’t steer you wrong.

These cows will bring in a ripper every time. “Hocus Pocus” truly is a bull that will work magic in a pen. I like absolutely everything about this bull, he is my vision on where we want to be. This is a bull with performance, thickness, structural soundness, backed by an outstanding cow. He has hair, a perfect birth weight, broad topped, deep bodied and heavy muscled.

The long wait is over, our first “Hank” to hit the ring. As I had mentioned in the write up on our Charolais division, “Cougarhill Hank” is probably the bull that drew me to have so much appreciation for the breed. With all the different trends over the years, in frame size and type, one thing that has remained true is the right cattle at the local market will always bring the premium, it is the best show ring around. This bull is the right kind. A long spined smooth built bull with all the right stuff in all the right places. Big hip, lots of hair and a good big solid square foot. His dam is one of the best uddered cows we have and this is a very complimentary mating bringing out all the best traits on both sides. Ready for a “Hank”, here they are.

His dam has had two calves, a bull calf before, in last year’s sale selling to Brad Lohr. No cow is too big, no cow is too small. He’s the type of bull that will work on them all. He has length, he has style, and a great coat of hair. He comes to you polled so the horns won’t be there. His calves will be special, his calves will be great.

I’m really impressed with the job this first calver did. “Lemar” is a bull that will combine calving ease with added power. I am personally a bit greedy when it comes to our heifer bulls, I don’t want just a calf, I expect a calf that stands in the pack. There is no reason they can’t do it. “Lemar” is the type of bull that I feel offers “more”. Sure weaning and yearling weights are a bit smaller that the group, but this is a calf that hit the bunk and kept right on pace. His dam appears to be developing into a nice young cow that has enough substance and size to her. There is a lot of future in this bull.

“Horizon” is a bull who won’t quite be a year old sale day. We had AI’d his dam and she didn’t stick, however the mating to “Vision” is quite good. This is another cow that we sourced, and now have 3 daughters in our herd as well, so I think there is strength in this cow family. Herself and her 3 daughters are all larger framed buckskin cows, that possess extra length of body, are very smooth fronted and have great neck extension. This also leads me to believe that “Horizon” will be a true calving ease bull, but he also carries that extra punch of power and performance. Look into the “Horizon” as this bull will be a versatile bull that can work in any situation.

She is an outstanding young cow, coming from a great cow family. “Visionary’s” great grandmother is a cow we will be expecting 8 calves from this year, as she is a cow that was flushed. This is a strong cow family we are building a core around, and “Visionary” is a pretty special bull.

The youngest of the “Vision” calves. We used “Vision” as the cleanup bull as well as in the heifer pen. We felt that this gave us an opportunity to combine the calving ease with power on these younger bulls, and appreciate that those of you breeding later that may be a bit more in line with what you are looking for. “Vision” comes from a big framed power cow. She is a true gentle giant, that can certainly get the job done. She had a younger bull in last year’s sale selling to Kevin Ball, very similar type of bull and age. This is a bull that should really develop quite nicely and he will be a very impressive mature bull. He is a bull that no doubt would cost a lot more with another month’s age on him. Be sure to have a good look at him.

She produced a son in last year’s sale selling to Troy Mantai. “Lucius” will be very similar to his brothers in being a bull you can expect will add extra growth, performance, added hair and muscle. Very useable birth weights, and just be very user friendly. I mentioned earlier on one bull that you can never go wrong with a “Pastor” cow on the bottom side. Well here is another good bull from a highly productive “Pastor” daughter.

This is a bull that has really been coming on strong this past month. He comes from just a second calver, who I feel is going to become a very strong productive cow for us. She goes back to “Pastor” on the bottom side of her pedigree making “La Joya” closely related to the last bull by blood. For those of you running multiple bulls in a pasture here is a very good opportunity to step in and buy a pair of closely related bulls. You want to stamp a calf crop this pair would do just that.

“Big Show” is a big ticket. This is an impressive bull loaded with performance. I have mentioned already how much we like the “Heavy Duty” calves, Bulls or Heifers they are very good. I’ve also pointed out the performance and how much we like our “Pastor” cows. Now add one more element, going back to another foundation cow “730T”. This bull cannot help but be good. He stacks up right on paper, and he certainly looks the part in the pen.“Big Show” equals big performance.

“Double Duty” seemed like a very appropriate name as we feel this bull could work in either the heifer pen or cow pen. He is extremely long bodied and smooth built, great shoulder set, and I really like how this bull can get out and travel. This is a bull that will cover a lot of ground. He tends to be overpowered a bit by his pen mates, but then keep in mind his age. It’s funny this year we ran so heavy to heifers until the last month when the bull calves came. Don’t let age deter you as this bull will be more than ready and more than capable to do the job when the time comes. This is a bull you will grow to appreciate more and more with time.

I feel really confident in pitching “Force” as a calving ease bull. His sire is a bull that Bob used in his program with much success as a calving ease bull, combined with “Defender” who we have also used on a handful of select heifers. His dam is a more moderate made female, very deep bodied broad and broody. We have a couple cows in our program from their dam and they are very similar in stature and make up. Very easy keeping and built right. “Force” is a bull that will calve incredibly well, and leave you an outstanding set of calves in the process.

We do tend to have more calving ease sires in our Charolais than we anticipated, but with more first calvers in the mix we did breed them that way. This will be the first calf crop of “Jake” calves and he certainly calved very well for us. If you want a bomb proof option on some heifers I really feel this is a solid choice. We are calving a small sample of commercial heifers this year bred Charolais, that we purchased from the Anderson Bred Heifer sale, and they are calving great, and having a nice set of buckskin calves. “Big Jake” is not bred to be a big bull, he is a bull that should remain somewhat moderate and be a bull that will last for a long time in the heifer pen if that’s where you choose to use him. The options are open, the outcome the same.

“Titanium x Defender” off of a first calving heifer, yes another very legit heifer bull candidate. These final 3 bulls are all from first calving heifers we ended up getting from Bob Burla. He used “Titanium” on the bulk of his heifers, and boy did he calve great for us. Calves were born small, had tons of vigor, were up and going in no time flat. Yes you will sacrifice some performance, but also keep in mind from first calvers, there is likely a little more there than meets the eye. End of the day a very structurally correct bull that will do a good job for you.

Very similar story to the last bull, “Titanium x Force” is back to back calving ease. This is a bull that we feel very confident in as well as a solid choice for use on heifers or young cows. He is a bull that will “get them ready for the real world”. He comes from a very nice young cow. We had both her dam and granddam in our program however we unfortunately lost the 57G cow on pasture last year. The granddam “4B” however is going strong and looks close to calving at the time we are working on catalogue. A powerful broody cow with tons of rib shape and muscle expression. “Titanium” is a bull that will do a nice job as a calving ease bull but can quite comfortably be moved up into the performance pen when the time calls.

A carbon copy of Lot #122 both in type and pedigree. This is a bull that is bred to calve extremely well. As you can see we tried to group the calving ease bulls together in somewhat of a section. These “Titanium” bulls will be virtually bomb proof in my opinion. Moderate frame with lots of thickness, shape and hair. A nice combination to use as a calving ease option.

Commercial Heifers

GROUPS OF 5 COMMERCIAL HEIFERS

125 COMMERCIAL HEIFERS 126 Weights and info available sale day

We are pleased to offer the commercial heifers from my parents once again this year. The past several years they decided to cut back and no longer retain females, so this is essentially the cream of the crop. Not huge in numbers but high in quality. This year’s heifers will be sired by Whiskey, or Matador and will be the ½ or full sisters to the heifers sold in the past sales.

We did not clip the heifers for the catalogue just due to time restraints and trying to make catalogue deadline. The pictures you see will be sisters from 2 years ago, however as mentioned they will be the same for the most part as previous years. The cows run with ours so the health protocol is exactly the same as the bulls, and we will palpate the heifers prior to the sale to ensure breeding soundness. Buy with confidence as these heifers have been culled as though they would be retained for themselves.

Thank you to all these people who help make the Magic happen!!
