Welcome On behalf of our Spring Creek family I welcome you to our annual In Pursuit of Perfection bull sale. As I once again sit down to share my thoughts with you what comes first to mind is that our bull selection and diversity has never been better. Whether you are looking for a red or black, Angus, Simmental or half-blood, blaze or solid color, calving ease or performance, we have it all here. We start off with a very interesting Lot #1 prospect. He is a red ‘56U’ son with a blaze face whose pedigree screams maternal. I believe that Spring Creek genetics are right for the times and as leading edge as you will find. The ninety bulls on offer have withstood three different culls, as we made more steers this year than we have in a long while. I can honestly say that this is the quietest group of bulls that I have ever offered. I am satisfied with how the bulls are developing, and that as a group they represent my exclusive genetics. I invite you to select with confidence. All of our purebred bulls are identified for polled and color status. This will be one of the largest offerings of homozygous polled bulls and homozygous black bulls available in Canada. I feel that it is necessary to have the bull’s genetics identified so that customers know what they are buying. Our Angus section is the largest and strongest to date. I am known more for my Simmental cattle but there are definitely breeder bulls available here for the Angus seed stock industry. I invite interested parties to study the depth and quality of my Angus cow herd as I am proud of the Angus herd that we have developed. I believe that the strength of my operation lies in the cow herd. As my repeat customers know, I’ve been working on genetic improvement for over four decades. I am satisfied that my bulls come from proven cow families with consistency and prepotency. Forty years of careful selection and breeding is paying off in females bred to work, perform and pay their way. Once again, you will see some birthweights that may be a little higher than you would like, but they have all been unassisted births. I think a better measure of calving ease would be a stop watch rather than a scale! The ease with which the cow calves is more important to me than the 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’re all great people to work with. Thanks also to Lazy Creek for bringing an excellent group of bulls. They really help to round out the offering. Thanks as well to our help: Neels, Gerrit, Allan and Ben. This year we welcome another new grandson to our family. Jack Francis McCarthy was named after Grandpa John and Grandma Frances, and was born to Simina and Sean in Calgary on January 3. Simina is taking some time off from her law firm, and Sean continues to work as a financial analyst for Enmax. Dan owns and operates IJack Technologies and Olga is a very busy photographer. They are mom and dad toVivian and John. Lauren is a social media specialist at Trinidad Drilling’s corporate office in Calgary and Charlie has re-signed with the Stampeders and works for Johnston’s Grain Marketing in the off-season. Grandma turned 97 in December and still gets excited about the sales. Thank you to everyone who has supported us through the years. We know that we wouldn’t be where we are without your encouragement and support. Good things take time, and we are very grateful for all the good things that have come our way. We are, as always – In Pursuit of Perfection! Brian McCarthy

RR 4 - Site 7 - Box 28 Olds, AB T4H 1T8 www.bohrson.com bohrsonmarketing@gmail.com The Springcreek program has always progressed forward as the market place demands change. The McCarthy family has strived to produce a product that leads the charge for beef producers, with profitability the top priority.

The Springcreek program focuses on feet, udders and disposition.This has been bred and selected into their program for multi generations, eliminating any guess work from your new bull purchase. This year’s offering is again packed full of meat and potatoes type of cattle and is the strongest offering from front to back, to date. The Simmental division is led by the lot 1 powerhouse that is sired by the highly sought after 56U. This genetic gem will not only add performance but will offer loads of maternal strength and should not be overlooked. These Simmental bulls are a very consistent group, with something for everyone, backed from a cow herd decades in the making. The Angus offering is the largest and strongest to date and will offer purebred breeders and commercial men alike the chance at some very elite Angus herd sires that can rival anything in the country. This group offers many big time breeder bulls and will be worth the drive, as they demand the most astute cattleman’s attention. The McCarthy family has developed a very elite herd of Angus cows with the same traits and fundamentals as the Simmental herd in mind.

In Pursuit of Perfection Customer Care Programs 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.

Buyers are responsible for their own mortality insurance on individual purchase prices over $20,000.00.

Once again we welcome you to the “In Pursuit of Perfection” sale.We are very honoured to be apart of such a prestigious sale, and have brought our very best for your appraisal.This year we again have brought our top Simmentals along with a solid pen of Red Angus.We would like to thank all the previous buyers and bidders as well as everyone that has showed interest in our sales through the years.We continue to wake up everyday and have the ability to do what we love, and we thank you dearly this privilege.We would also like to thank Brian and his family for all the hospitality, and guidance they have provided us through the years. It is quite an honour working with such a legend in the industry. Also a shout out to the management who work tireless hours finding homes for the bulls, this integrity doesn’t go unnoticed and we thank you. Our farm is situated 15 minutes west of Moose Jaw, and consists of 140 mature cows (60 Red Angus, 80 Simmentals).We are a family farm, and everyone has their own special roles to make it work. Our cowherd is fed a completely forage diet, and has never received grain as a supplement. Our cowherd is raised with the vision of having the best feet, udder, and natural fleshing ability in mind.We are able to accomplish this feat by culling very hard, and using the best sires we can find. Along with this, we retain a very prolific herd.The cattle are AI’d and/or exposed for 60 days and anything that is open is shipped in the fall. As I write this we have just finished our first cycle and we are three quarters done! The bulls in the offering are stacked with maternal and paternal pedigrees.They are stout made, big topped, sound structured, and will go on to serve the beef industry to their utmost.The dams are all strong uddemred, as we get rid of any problem ones. Please feel free to call anytime (306 631 8749 Jon) or (306 631 8763 Michael) if you have any additional information or to discuss your options.The bulls this year again are being wintered at Brians, and I’m sure he can handle any questions you might have as well. Thank you, TheVerstegen Family.

‘Liner 9D’ has a world of breeding potential. His dam is a beautiful deep bodied cow that would make my all-time ‘top 10 list’. Paternal sisters to 9D are in demand as much as any sire group in our Simmental industry. These ‘56U’ daughters consistently raise my top bulls. His sire and dam are both still going strong, and looking good doing it at an advanced age. His EPD’s and his individual performance are outstanding along with his very impressive phenotype. He has good testicles and has a very nice disposition. His gestation was 283 days. You will go a long way to find a better pedigreed red blaze faced bull. He is tested homozygous polled. Retaining 100 doses for in herd use.

When we bred ‘Olympian’ we were looking at his maternal strengths and his ability to produce highly sought after and valued bulls. ‘36D’ is an outcrossed herdsire prospect, coming from one of our best black cow families. His maternal grand dam is a top donor here at the farm, and produces the best udders in our opinion. If you are looking for a bull that will produce heavy steers and still produce those females that are very sought after this is the bull for you.

Another really good ‘Olympian’ son. Deep made and super correct. A lot of maternal strength in this bull as he goes back to the great ‘X-T Destiny 73K’ cow that has been a staple in our herd as well as in the great 3D Simmentals herd. ‘61D’ has a ‘Limited Black’ maternal sib that is tops in the second calver pen. We were so happy with how ‘61D’ turned out we bred his dam back, and by the looks of things it to will be a sale feature next year.

This is a true sale feature. We acquired ‘59D’ via embryos from Brians female sale a few years back. He has the genetic potential to be a great one, and has the look to boot. On pasture he turned heads, and never looked back as he weaned at 936 on September 1. His dam is a beautiful specimen selling in Spring Creek’s female sale in December to the great ‘Sunny Valley’ crew. ‘59D’ will be a very dynamic bull that will produce strong bulls and powerful heifers. Retaining 100 doses for in herd use.

This feature bull is sired by another feature bull that sold to Randy Geisler. He is a long bodied bull yet maintains tremendous thickness. He combines a low birthweight and an outstanding weaning weight. His gestation was 286 days. The dam who sold to Little Rainbow has raised bulls for John Wilson, Gordon Jones/Westwood and Shannon Pirlot.

This is without a doubt a future herdsire. When this guy was a calf he had the look and continued to grow exceptionally well. He was a pasture favourite to everyone that visited and demonstrated a great presence all year. In fact he had an actual weaning weight of 996 on September 1. He has a very good disposition and carries good sized testicles. A homozygous polled bull that comes in that dark red colour everyone will be infatuated with. His dam has been a huge producer for us, and has produced both bulls and heifers that work great. She raised one of the high selling heifers in the 2015 Simmsational Sale, going to R Plus Simmentals. Make sure to check this guy out sale day, as he won’t be hard to find in the pen. Retaining 100 doses for in herd use. CE 2.1

Another strong ‘Royal Red’ bull that will turn some heads sale day. ‘12D’ has a lot of the same look that his maternal sibling did last year who sold to Grant Bradley. This guy has mountains of depth and is as stout as they come. The exceptionally warm winter we had last year probably attributed to his birth weight, but I can assure you he flew out when he was born. His dam is a quiet cow, which is an attribute ‘12D’ expresses, and carries a tidy udder that milks a ton.

We are very excited to offer this future herdsire, as he has been a standout on the farm since day one. ‘1D’ possesses a great presence about him and has always had that herdbull look. His sire ‘Eye Spy’ needs no introduction as he has produced many high selling calves throughout Canada and the US. ‘1D’s’ dam is well perceived around the farm, and we have a maternal sister to him that looks awesome.

Another great ‘Eye Spy’ calf out of a sweet ‘Detour’ cow. Note that a lot of the bulls are 3/4 sibs, and very uniform. This guy will produce very good females with tidy udders.

The ‘6Z’ calves are absolute plugs, and this guy is no different. We have our first ‘6Z’ females in production, and boy are they looking good. Nice square udders with perfect teat size and placement. This bull has always been admired for his explosive style and nice hair. Be sure to check him out sale day.

A very eye appealing ‘Eye Spy’ bull out of one of the top producing first calvers we have. In fact ‘28B’s’ maternal sib is one of our top cows that had a feature bull in last years sale that went to Quebec. Another female producing specialist that will also produce soggy bulls.

When the dam of ‘16D’ comes to mind, all I can think is bull producer. This will be her third straight bull in the sale, and she sure doesn’t disappoint. ‘16D’ is an absolute plug that still gives you the calving ease to sleep easy through the night when calving. He will be a great addition to any herd.

An absolute stunner in the pen, this guy has a great set of numbers. ‘31D’ is top 20% for calving ease and top 10% for milking. If there was a definition for a model cow there would be a picture of his dam, ‘7Z’, in that spot. The grand dam ‘47T’ has Elite Dam status, and not by fluke. This bull has a lot of genetic potential, and should be easy to pick out of the pen on sale day, and out of the pasture during breeding season. PAGE 40
