On behalf of all of us at Bohrson Marketing Services, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the commendable, 44th Annual Keystone Konnection Simmental Sale. The 2022 edition is one to surely excite, and we are pleased to again be involved with this sale group who has stepped up to the plate to offer an elite set of genetics. We truly have something for everyone in this great event, from future herd bulls, stout bred heifers bred up to exciting services, as well as fancy calendar year heifer calves who we believe are truly exciting. The Fleckvieh section, polled & horned, as well as the purebred red & blacks, feature cattle with some of the most current and up to date pedigrees and exciting matings we can find. This is sure to give you a quick ROI, something that the Keystone Konnection has become famous for! We can’t say enough good things about the quality of stock that will be on offer December 6th, 2022 but would be remiss if we didn’t touch on the great folks that stand behind the offering. Throughout the entire catalogue you will find breeders who are truly a pleasure to do business with. Again this year we are pleased to be joining forces with the Keystone Klassic Angus sale to create a must attend sale at the Keystone with a great atmosphere featuring some of the best from two great breeds.

A homozygous polled Full Fleckvieh heifer, Fancy Pants was named this from day 1, as she is definitely fancy and just darn good, so much so that we shouldn’t be selling her. She is our picture of 30 years of breeding coming together in a homozygous polled package. You don’t see many homozygous polled animals this thick, deep bodied, and long through the loin. She has outcross lines both maternal and paternal that you don’t see very often, making her even more desirable. To top it off, her maternal granddam is Rich Mc Ms Pol 15Y, the dam of Rich Mc Poll Hyatt PPFF. Hyatt is the sire of Rich Mc Pol Imagine PPFF who is also in the sale! We have definitely dug very deep on these open heifers.

This summer both Imagine and her dam were admired far and wide. Imagine’s sire, Rich Mc Pol Hyatt PPFF 25H, owned by ourselves and JB Livestock has been described by notable breeders as being undeniably easy fleshing and has a full round quarter that is very difficult to find in polled

cattle and even harder in Homozygous polled. He is producing a consistent and soft made set of calves. Imagine certainly does check these boxes. This heifer is very structurally correct,

A pretty special Full Fleckvieh heifer here, she is one of a kind. Her dam, BLL Haute is a maternal sister to the $355,000 BLL Rumble that created so much excitement this spring. Haute herself was a high seller when we purchased her. Let’s Dance’s sire, is a FGAF Legend son that is one of a kind himself. This sweetheart is thick topped, deep bodied and perfectly pigmented. She has a paternal brother in this sale that is just plum good as well. I’m really not sure WHY we are selling her, other than you have to sell the good ones.

Honest, natural, hard working yet easy doing proven pedigrees that we have put our trust in. These 4 calves alone averaged 817lbs at weaning and come off some sweetheart consistent dams. BlazeOn’s productivity has given us the confidence to set the bar high on his continued future. This Betts daughter is truly a special type. Her pedigree has exceptional all over it. From early on she’s captured the pasture presence. One that I wish I could’ve ran the show circuit with. One of our final Westcott daughters is no exception. A stamp of what NAC Westcott 83F did for us. The way he produced his calves is showcased in this package. Not to mention the tremendous disposition. Our lone bred 23J is another Westcott that was precisely what we had hoped for off the Crosbyson dam. Brood cow with such a smooth front and depth from front to back. Add in the early breeding to WLB TopTier!! With Hockey, Dance, 4-H, work, farm and play, we always make sure to invite you to drop in for a visit, give a call or text, or just chat. Until next time, make the best of today’s opportunities. Yours with an addiction to cattle, Brodie McColl.

Welcome to the 44th annual Keystone Konnection Sale; what a year it has been from start to finish; from muddy pens and a late start seeding the crop and feed to a just as late harvest season. Everything seemed to be a month delayed; but the crop did get in the bin before November which was a bonus on the grain end. On the cow end; grass and sown feeds were plentiful so our feed yards are full. All that aside; as per usual we have pulled right off the top of our bred heifer pen this year to bring them for your appraisal. These girls are bred and raised to work for their new owners with no pampering, to last for years at their new homes. Bred to industry leading calving ease AI sires the results will be great! All the heifers will have had their ivomec & first shot of scourguard prior to sale day. Please feel free to come see them at the ranch in their home environment or don’t hesitate to call with any questions you might have prior to sale day. Look forward to seeing you all on the 6th of December!

Here is one of those heifers that we had a hard time letting go. She’s been a standout since day one; a heifer with extreme length of body, substance & thickness. The mating between Wescott and this baldy cow was a no brainer as she always drops a good one! Setting up a real nice udder and mated to the never miss calving ease specialist Absolute, the end product is as good as in the bank. Take the time to analyze this heifer; everything is right!

Her picture does not do her much justice, she is a must see in person. On the bloodline side; proven genetics top and bottom with the likes of Savage (Loaded Up) which we were so thrilled with the offspring that we bought a direct son to run in our herd.

Welcome to the Keystone Konnection Sale! As first time consignors we are really excited to be a part of this sale and want to thank the Keystone Simmental Assoc. for hosting us!

We farm and raise cattle just south of Minnedosa, MB where we calve out close to 500 commercial cows and farm close to 2000 acres. Our young purebred herd is quickly growing and we rely heavily on embryo transfer and AI to grow cow notable families. We market our bulls yearly at the end of February in the Horner Downhill TSN bull sale. We focus on consistency by offering up groups of full brothers and paternal siblings as a result of our embry program.

We have brought a pair of heifer calves who we are very pleased with. These maternally stacked, well balanced and really complete heifer calves we think will have bright futures as productive momma cows or could make an awesome junior project who will more importatly go on to make a great cow for a young producer.

Feel free to stop in for a visit anytime! See you in Brandon, or stop in at our stall at CWA and AG Ex.

Welcome to the 44th Annual Keystone Konnection sale!

we all know once again mother nature threw a curve ball at us and sent us from a record drought, straight into a record wet year here in Westman, however if we know anything about farming and the community that we live in, one word comes to mind, RESILIENT. Excess spring moisture brought seeding challenges, but on a positive note it also brought a sea of grass in the pastures and allowed bale yards to get replenished with more reasonably priced feed from late seeded crops and a few good cuts of hay. Most importantly allowing the cow herd to once again grow in numbers instead of being faced with tough culling decisions.

On the subject of growth, we’re happy to announce the acquisition of the Mountain Boyz (Kyle Kostenchuk and family) purebred herd. We’re excited to continue expanding into the purebred industry and continue to produce honest cattle that work in both commercial and purebred herd settings.

We look forward to seeing you on sale day!

Here’s a bred heifer from the Sister Anne cow family. This cow family has been very predictable, two maternal siblings to 444J have graced this very sale ring in 2019 and 2020 selling to Crowe Bros and Bar 9 Simmentals, and their male counterparts have always found their way into other breeding programs. There’s lots to appreciate about Sister Anne 444J, she’s long spined and feminine made, just like her dam. Bred to the calve ease State of War bull, which I expect to be a dynamite mating and add some depth to 444J’s progeny.

Welcome to another addition of the Keystone Konnection Annual Simmental Sale. This year has brought a lot of changes to our operation. With relocating our cattle to our new farm by Birtle MB. With change of location we also decided to change our farm name as well. We operated under Blair Workman and Son for the full 23 yr cycle so found it fitting to start the new name on the same letter “K” as we started!!!

If you have any questions or would like to come for a tour of our new operation feel free to contact me.
