BOHRSON MARKETING SERVICES from Welcome

We are excited to welcome you to the 2023 edition of the Premium Beef Bull Sale hosted by Ag-Land Farms with Bert’s NR Simmentals and McColl/ Schweitzer Simmentals. The move to the Johns farm is a welcome change to the sale and we know you will really enjoy taking in this sale in their beautiful, comfortable sale facility. These three progressive operations all have similar goals and beliefs within the Canadian beef industry and that is to raise and offer you, their respected clients, the best possible product available. Their never ending commitment to accessing the best genetics and culling their cowherd as hard as possible, takes out all the guess work for you and you can be rest assured each operation has made each decision with your best interest in mind.

The Ag-Land Farms operation is one that has been extremely fun to watch evolve the last decade. They are always on the hunt for the next great herd bull or exciting semen package to utilize and can always be found purchasing some of the very best females up for auction each fall. Their impressive cowherd is evident of their eye for quality livestock.

Bert’s NR Simmentals annually injects some of the very best available A.I sires into their progressive operation and their stout set of bulls is evident in the strength of the sires they use and the type and kind they strive to breed. They annually bring out some of the very best females we get to market each fall and believe it speaks volumes to the cowherd backing their operation.

The McColl/Schweitzer Simmentals outfit is a multi generation breeding program with everyone heavily involved. They place a large emphasis on the power of their impressive walking herd bulls such as NAC Westcott and WLB Blaze On as well as the utilization of exciting AI sires like Betts 808F. All three of these programs are backed by great folks that are a pleasure to do business with. They all strive to raise sound, functional beef bulls that will help elevate your program and positively impact your bottom line. We encourage you to reach out to each of these breeders to discuss the bulls on offer and narrow down some options that will best suit your program. If any of us from Bohrson Marketing can be of any assistance, please feel free to reach out at anytime.

Best Regards, The Bohrson Marketing Team

We would like to thank the Bohrson Marketing team for taking on our sale and this new adventure!

Working alongside Greg and Allyson Workman we feel we have a very strong consistent set of bulls on offer this year. We have a bit of a change in our offering this year, along with our yearlings, we have two two-year old bulls as well as three Angus bulls. We feel there is the potential of some breeder bulls along with well working commercial herd bulls. We would like to reserve the right to draw semen on any of the bulls for our own in-herd use. The bulls are on a full vaccination program and will be semen checked, and ready to go work by sale time. Videos have been taken of the bulls and will be placed on www.cattlevids.ca.

Feel free to come and have a look at the bulls anytime at the farm as it is an impressive group that really needs to be seen to appreciate them.

to the

Sale! First and foremost, we would like to personally thank the Johns Family for hosting this year’s sale on their farm. Though the sale location and sale date has changed, you can bet the quality of the offering has not changed. This is evident from the offering you’ll see in this catalog. We are extremely excited to be partnered with such great and progressive breeders – Johns/Workman & Schweitzer/McColl families – along with the professional staff at Bohrson Marketing Services as sales management.

Our herd has grown this summer as we purchased a dozen cows from our good friend’s herd Gordon Jones Simmentals. Thank you Gordon and family! This was an investment alongside our boys for the future generation of Bert’s NR Simmentals. We will be calving 80 cows this spring. We are extremely proud of our bull pen and this group of four blacks and eight red yearling bulls. If you have any questions about our consignments, please don’t hesitate to call. The bull pen is always open to tour. The staff at Bohrson Marketing are also ready and able to answer any questions you have as well.
