Welcome On behalf of our Spring Creek family I welcome you to our annual In Pursuit of Perfection bull sale. As I sit down to share my thoughts with you, and as I follow the established protocol for messages of this sort, I find myself wondering if anyone actually reads this stuff. Some things I say every year because they’re true, but as the cattle industry evolves there are new thoughts to deliver. I know that I look forward to getting your sales catalogues and reading what you have to say, so I will persevere. Some cold winter nights I go out to the calving barn and remember why I’m in this business. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.Those of you who love cattle the way I do know what I mean. We all know that this is an exciting time to be in the beef industry as we witness a growing world population, a greater demand for beef (and for a high-quality, nourishing protein product in particular), a declining number of beef producers, and all-time high prices. It will be the progressive cattleman like yourself who will sit in and strengthen his program, which will result in long term financial gain. Now is the time to buy the best bulls you can find. This cycle of historic prosperity will be an opportunity for you to put your herd in a position to be profitable well into the future. This is our time, and I believe that Spring Creek genetics are right for the times and as leading edge as you will find. As my repeat customers know, here at Spring Creek I’ve been working on genetic improvement for over 40 years. I believe that the strength of my operation lies in the cow herd. In December we had a tremendous Female Sale and I was pleased and gratified by the results. When you lay your hard work on the line it is satisfying when the outcome exceeds your expectation. I’ve always known the type of cattle that I’ve wanted to raise. Mine has been a very hands-on operation: I breed, feed, calve, and do the culling. Although I have always been in pursuit of perfection, I welcome you to step in at the top of my program and choose exclusive Spring Creek genetics from proven cow families. A bull purchase is a big investment that will impact your herd for years to come. My bulls are complete bulls: thick muscled and deep-bodied, well balanced and eye-appealing, vigorous and high-performing with large testicles, reasonable birth weights, high weaning weights, and good dispositions. Forty years of careful selection and breeding is paying off in females bred to work, perform and pay their way. When I walk through the bull pen I feel a sense of accomplishment to have built a female base that can produce such a powerful and uniform set of bulls. I am satisfied with how the bulls are developing, and that as a group they represent my specific and exclusive genetics. I invite you to select with confidence. As I write this welcome we have 111 calves and calving has gone extremely well. We have had one assist on an Angus heifer and one malpresentation. You will notice that some of the birthweights may be a little higher than you would prefer but I can assure you that they were not a problem here. I wish that potential bull buyers could witness the birth of these calves when the cow has it all over in a matter of minutes. The ease with which the cow calved is more important to me than the actual weight of the calf. It is natural for big strong cows to have a little more birth weight. We are pleased to be once again working with Bohrson Marketing and T Bar C. They provide an invaluable service and we appreciate their professionalism. Feel free to contact them for any assistance you may need. Our sale will once again be held in our sale barn at the ranch 12 miles southwest of Moosomin. We invite you for a beef-on-a bun lunch with homemade perogies and baking before the sale, and your choice of refreshments after. The cattle are available for viewing any time; just give us a call and I’d be glad to give you a tour and talk cattle with you. We really enjoy having visitors in for coffee or a meal at any time. As Grandma says,“If there are extras, there are always eggs!” People often ask about our family; Sharon and I are very proud of them.There are two new additions to our family picture this year: one is the big guy and one is the little guy! Dan and Olga are both Industrial Systems Engineers. Dan has built a hydraulic lift pump jack and a D-gas unit for conventional pump jacks; his company is called IJack Technologies. Olga is presently a busy photographer, and she and Dan have two little ones:Vivian Rose and John. Sean and Simina live in Calgary. Sean has a Business degree, a CFA and has just completed an MBA while working for Enmax. His wife Simina is an associate with Burnet, Duckworth and Palmer LLP. Our daughter Lauren met Charlie Power when they were studying Business at the U of S. Lauren is an HR Advisor at Trinidad Drilling’s corporate office in Calgary, and Charlie plays for the Stampeders. My mother Frances continues to get excited about the sales and, at 96, will tell you she hasn’t got an ache or a pain anywhere! Sharon and I would like to thank everyone who has supported us through the years. This is a great industry and we couldn’t imagine having raised our family anywhere other than here at the ranch, which has been home to the McCarthy family since the 1890’s. Thank you to all the bidders and buyers from past sales for the effort you make each year to attend our sale; it is really appreciated. We hope you will join us sale day for a hot lunch and Grandma’s famous baking!
We are, as always – In Pursuit of Perfection! Brian McCarthy

Brian McCarthy and the entire Spring Creek family has a program that is built on strength of pedigree through strong cow families.The cow herd that backs this program is extremely productive and does so in a sound, strong uddered, hard working approach with no exceptions. Spring Creek has been instrumental on providing genetics for fellow cattleman to progress their programs and has done so for over 40 years.

This year’s bull offering is exceptional and it is a very deep and exciting group the whole way through.The red bulls are lead off by a unique individual that we have followed on our many trips to Spring Creek from last summer to the fall visits and into this spring.We can vouch for his impressive phenotype as he has been a great one from early stages up to present time. His dam is flat out awesome and is one of the best Simmental females we have come by - he is an individual that all breeders and semen companies can utilize to progress the breed. The red section is filled with proven performance pedigrees and is very deep in quality.There are many leading sire groups that have been carefully selected to incorporate maternal strengths and functionality. Spring Creek has escalated their black program quickly with the impact of 102S, 56U,Tank, All In and Heritage over the years and now Olympian, Gold Standard and Advance 144Z to compliment those strong pedigrees.The predictability runs deep and you can source many 1/2, 3/4 or full brothers to add consistency to your calf crop.The Angus bulls have always been sought after and the strong group on offer is backed by extra maternal and calving ease with above performance.The Spring Creek bulls are as deep as ever and the addition of the Lazy Creek bulls fit in very well and compliment this deep offering. We encourage you visit with the McCarthys and theVerstegens about their offering as there is something for everyone.We are very familiar with the strong cow herds behind each program and have confidence in the maternal strength that is backing these bulls.

In Pursuit of Perfection Customer Care Programs
IPOP (In Pursuit of Perfection) Bull Sale Customer Care Winter Feeding Program
The objective of this program is to work with our customers to foster the yearling bull through the most critical year of his life -- the first winter after
his inaugural breeding season. In the case of our sale, most of these bulls are yearling bulls. The challenge for many producers, but not all, is where do you put them? They are usually a nuisance and if you put them with the mature bulls they never do as well. Tying up a pen or field to feed just a few animals becomes a challenge as well. The program is built on a sliding scale which works off the purchase price of the bull or bull average (multiple bulls). IPOP Bull Sale will charge the customer the amount left owing on the feeding program in that purchase bracket. If a purchase price is between a trigger point, it will be rounded down. Based on industry feedback the wintering of a yearling bull will be $700 +/- per head. The cost for the feeding program will be charged on delivery of the bull in the fall, based on the range you fall into for that bull or group of bulls, or no charge at all! IPOP Bull Sale will deal with the feeding co-operator on complete feeding program costing. The sign up for this program will be on sale day or shortly after the spring IPOP Bull Sale to allow time to coordinate the winter program. If the customer does not wish to utilize this support tool then there will be no credit given for feeding their own bulls. The Wintering Program will start in mid October and run to April 1st. If additional time is required by the customer on either side of this program (fall or extended spring) it will be at the customer’s expense and at the convenience of the feeding cooperator. All bull deliveries in the fall will be cordinated into a 3-4 day window. Scale: Purchase price (net price after volume incentives and repeat customer discounts) of bull (or average of bulls) and the corresponding feeding cost per bull: $2500-$3000 -.. $600 winter feeding cost $3500 -........... $500 winter feeding cost $4000 - .......... $400 winter feeding cost $4500 - .......... $300 winter feeding cost $5000 - .......... $200 winter feeding cost $5500 - .......... $100 winter feeding cost $6000 and above – winter feeding cost included in the purchase price of the bull
IPOP Bull Sale “Live Long Bull Warranty”
The goal of this program is again to work with our customers in sharing the risk on bulls that will not work based on factors out of their control. We also want to take more responsibility in seeing a bull through to maturity and ensuring things like feet and legs stand up. A bull purchase is a major investment not just for the future of your herd but in the expectation of a longer productive life of the animal. We also assume there is risk past year one, even though most bulls are only insured in their first year of service. We want to work with our customers through to maturity. The time your bull spends in the Winter Feeding Program will be included in this warranty. If the IPOP Bull Sale “Live Long Bull Warranty” is initiated, it will be paid out in the form of a credit towards the purchase of a bull in the subsequent year’s sale. Purchaser must notify Spring Creek Simmentals, (306) 435-3590 immediately of any problems with or death of a purchased bull(s). Purchaser must employ a licensed veterinarian to treat , diagnose and/or fill out a vet form. If the animal dies, a postmortem may be required. Injury or death due to malicious, wilful or intentional acts or mistreatment by the purchaser or his employees is a fraudulent claim. In the event of mortality of a purchase bull, the seller’s credit responsibility will be limited to $20,000.00/bull or the purchase price if less. Buyers are responsible for their own mortality insurance on individual purchase prices over $20,000.00. Our goal is to ensure customer satisfaction and to help protect your investment through to maturity. We are your partner in business!

I believe ‘Spark Plug’ has the potential to be one of the most valuable genetic pieces that I have raised. He has impeccable phenotype and that herd bull look from top to bottom and front to back, and is solid red with a blaze face to boot. He is truly an outcross pedigree for the Red and Black Simmental business. ‘Viper’, his sire, has been used successfully in many traditional programs. Check out the sires on ‘Spark Plug’s’ dam’s side: ‘Crosby’, ‘Red Teddy’ and ‘SC Red Tank 57P’. He has a very nice disposition and huge testicles. His EPD’s are very positive and his individual performance is at the top of his class. A homozygous polled bull that is ½ Fleckvieh offers quite a marketing opportunity for his new owners.

This feature bull is a ¾ brother to ‘Spark Plug’. He was a favorite in the pasture this summer as he displayed that herd bull look at an early age. A homo polled son of a Fleckvieh bull that has a blaze face and a super mother, has much to offer the industry. His dam now works in the good ‘Black Gold’ herd. He had a moderate birth weight and he will be strong in all the maternal traits as indicated to me by his early maturity.

Welcome to the “In Pursuit of Perfection” sale. First, we would like to thank Brian and his family for inviting us to be in this very prestigious sale. Although this is our first time marketing our Simmental bulls in this sale, it will be the 3rd year that we have marketed our Red Angus bulls after purchasing them from Brian in the fall of 2012. Secondly, we would like to thank all the customers, bidders, and anyone who has showed interest in our sales over the last few years. It is humbling to have so much support from everyone in the industry, as we are a first generation farm. Without this support, we couldn’t have made it to where we are today, and we thank you for that. Our farm is situated 15 minutes west of Moose Jaw and consists of 120 mature cows (50 Red Angus, 70 Simmentals). We are fortunate to farm with the whole family, as the number of family-run farms is dwindling. Our cowherd is fed a completely forage diet, and has never received grain as a supplement. The creep feeder is used until turnout, and then we let the grass do its job. This year has been a challenging one at best for many cattle and crop farms with drought plaguing much of the west. However the resilience and dedication of our farmers and ranchers inspire us. Our bull offering is our best to date, being sired by some of the best AI and walking herd sires in the industry. We are proud to bring you bulls that are stout made, big topped, sound structured, that will go on to serve the beef industry to their utmost. These bulls are backed by the most original and unique custom care program. By all means take the time and read what is offered, as this is even more incentive to purchase a bull through the sale. Please call anytime (306-631-8763 Michael) or (306-631-8749 Jon) if you want any additional information or to discuss your options. The bulls are being wintered at Brian’s, and I’m sure he can answer any questions you might have as well. Thank you, The Verstegen Family.

I feel as though I have a consistent set of black bulls, but when I ask visitors which bull(s) caught their attention, ‘77C’ always seems to be mentioned. His dam is not a big cow but she is nicely made. She goes back to a Full Fleck cow that I purchased from Parkhill. He is one of many good bulls sired by ‘155Y’.

Dugdale Ag. also has a maternal sister to ‘118C’. He has a low birthweight and a nice set of EPD’s. His grand dam was a favorite here as well and was sold to JP Cattle Co.

This calf had an interesting summer. He disappeared early in the summer and showed up in the fall at the neighbor’s place where he had been fending for himself. As would be expected, he started out behind the other bulls but he has caught up and turned into an impressive prospect. His dam’s side traces back to a good commercial Hereford/Shorthorn cow that my Dad had many many years ago.

This bull has a unique story. His mother was an exceptional Detour female that died when he was a month and half old. He stole his way all summer, and turned out to be one of our best bulls. We calved out our first ‘Full Blast’ females and let us tell you the Detour x Full Blast works great.

‘Detour 6Z’ was the high seller in the 2013 bull sale to Frey Angus Ranch. He is one of the most performance packed bulls in the entire Red Angus breed. ‘Detour 6Z’ sure passes a lot of that in his calves, and ‘33C’ demonstrates that. His dam is a real female producer with three daughters retained in our herd.

This bull was definitely one of the standouts all summer. He has a bigger birth weight for Angus, but she had him without any problem and very fast. The dam to this bull is a favorite when anyone comes to the farm, and her “Eye Spy” bull calf this year is a standout as well.

A novel can be written on this bull’s dam. She is the dam of ‘Detour 6Z’ and multiple daughters. The first time Brian saw this bull last spring, he thought that he was out of a Simmental bull. That just shows how much performance she can put into her calves.
