2018 Spring Creek Simmentals In Pursuit of Perfection Bull Sale Results

s t l u s e R e l a S Averaged $8,978 s l l u 91 B

Welcome to our 2018 “In Pursuit of Perfection’ Bull Sale. It is gratifying to see one’s breeding plans come together and to be able to offer this great group of Bulls. This will be the first sons of our new feature herd bulls “LFE McDavid 413C’ and ‘Springcreek Spark Plug’ and I couldn’t be more proud of them.

The ‘McDavid’ sons are very growthy with exceptional hair and style. This sire group is also leading off the Lewis Farms Bull Sale. I admire the consistent look to both his males and females which I feel is the mark of a breeding bull. His 2017 heifer calves averaged 91 lbs at birth with an average gestation of 281.5. His sons were 98 lbs and 284.5 days.

The ‘Spark Plug’ calves are also very consistent in type. His sons are hairy, thick and large scrotalled. His heifers and bulls averaged 88 lbs and 92 lbs respectively at birth. Both sexes averaged 285 day gestations. He also puts blaze faces on a majority of his calves. I believe that short gestations are very valuable and we as breeders need to measure and strive to lower. In my experience, you rarely have calving issues with a short gestation. Gestation and a stop watch are better measures of calving ease than birth weight.

This is my best set of Black Angus bulls to date. The top end of these bulls would stand with many of the sale toppers across the country. Chris and Ben of T Bar C felt that they were at the top end of the Angus bulls they had seen this year. You will find many of the better AI bulls in their pedigrees.

Again we have a nice selection of hybrid “Bestbeef’ bulls. The feedback on these bulls has been very positive. They offer a nice combination of calving ease and performance while maintaining uniformity.

The folks at Lazy Creek have again brought a nice selection of Red Angus bulls to fit all your needs. They also have three strong Black Simmental bulls. We appreciate their support.

It has been a long process, but I’m pleased to say that all my purebred bulls are finally Homo Polled. It has been a goal of mine for a long time, and one that I believe is important to our industry. All black bulls are also identified for color status.

The bulls are in good flesh and condition. This fleshiness has been accomplished on a ration of rolled oats and a protein/ mineral supplement. This is relatively the same ration that I have been using for over forty years. The feedback that I have received over the years has been that my bulls maintain their condition well through the summer and that their longevity has been very good.

We would like to thank all those who have supported us in the past and we hope that you can attend again this year. We are pleased to be working once again with T Bar C and Bohrson Marketing. They provide an invaluable service and we appreciate their professionalism. Feel free to contact them for any assistance you may need.

We are, as always – In Pursuit of Perfection!

Year in and year out, Bryan McCarthy has continually brought elite seedstock to the Simmental and Angus industries to be analyzed by the most astute cattleman.We encourage you to attend the Spring Creek “In Pursuit of Perfection” Bull Sale this year as it is loaded with shear quality from start to finish.The 2017 inductee into the Canadian Simmental Hall of Fame, Brian has been a highly respected breeder among peers and continually advances his program to enhance the Simmental breed.

The select Angus program is built on selection of the very best genetics available to the AI industry and it has quickly advanced into an elite herd built around maternal strength and production.

When McDavid was acquired for $95,000 it was a huge statement that Spring Creek is continually advancing and will invest in the very best genetics each breeding season. After wisely keeping McDavid exclusive to fellow breeders, this is an opportunity to acquire genetics from a cornerstone, power herd sire. 56U was a past high seller through this sale for Spring Creek and he is a prime example of their genetics - they continue to increase in popularity after each calf crop as females get into production.This will be one of the few opportunities to inject 56U into your program! Spark Plug was also a $95,000 high seller and his exclusive genetics are in high demand with the outcross pedigree, performance and maternal strength backing them. Many other leading Simmental genetics are on offer and you can invest with confidence throughout the entire offering.

The Angus offering is stacked with the very elite bloodlines in the breed. Whether it is Bank Note, Motive, Upward, Pioneer or Titlest in the pedigrees, you can invest with confidence in these pedigrees.

Also, don’t overlook the quality offering of bulls from the Verstegen family as they have a select offering of bulls from the very top of their herd.The Red Angus program they have built is sourced from the McCarthy family and bred up from the very best cow families. The Simmental bulls from their program also fit right in with the Spring Creek bulls and represent many of the same leading bloodlines.

The customer service and “Live Long Bull Warranty” as well as the “Go Big & Go Home Happy” volume discount program are among the most attractive in the business. If you can’t make it sale day, feel free to contact Geoff, Matt or any of the staff to represent your needs in a professional and confidential manner.You can source your next herd sire in Moosomin on Thursday, March 8 and know that quality cattle backed by customer service is a priority!

From the desk at T Bar...

Welcome to the “In Pursuit of Perfection” bull sale. Now in it’s thirteenth year, this event is loaded with outstanding opportunities for the livestock industry … ranchers and breeders alike.

The Spring Creek program has developed over decades to serve their customers with quality and the highest degree of satisfaction. It is the only sale that offers a “Customer Care Program”, along with a loyalty incentive policy. It takes confidence to offer such a program and Brian McCarthy has just that! A confidence in the product they offer that will work and add value for you the buyer.

Part of that confidence comes from the cow herd… for decades they have selected for optimal body type and size concentrating on udder quality, soundness, fertility, and disposition. This selection along with adding the newest, freshest genetics through herd sires, gives them the confidence in offering a product with a high degree of predictability…. predictability which is proven by the large number of repeat customers.

The 2018 lineup is powerful and uniform. Thick rugged sire prospects with lots of hair and testicle. Performance is taken for granted and when you add the maternal strength from the dam’s side, you will get a ‘total package” whether you need a single bull or a dozen…. red, black or blaze!

Plan to be with us on March 8th south of Moosomin, Saskatchewan for a feature event in the spring sale season. Feel free to stop by the farm anytime prior and preview the bulls and their mothers or call the folks at Spring Creek as they will be pleased to discuss your breeding requirements.

If we, at T Bar C, may be of any assistance, prior to or sale day, do not hesitate to give myself or any of our professional team a call, as we can help you with your needs.

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. 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!

Once again we welcome you to the ‘In Pursuit of Perfection’ sale.We are very honored to be a part of such a prestigious sale, and have brought our very best for your appraisal.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 ablility to do what we love, and we thank you dearly for this privilege.

Our farm is situated 15 minutes west of Moose Jaw and consists of 160 mature cows (70 Angus, 90 Simmentals). We are a family farm, and everyone has their own special roles to make it work. Our cow herd is fed completely forage diet, and has never received grain as a supplement. Our cow herd is raised with the vision of having the best feet, udder, and natural fleshing 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.

This year again we have brought our top Simmentals along with a solid pen of Red Angus. In the Simmental pen we have an elite Olympian son as well as 2 sons out of our high seller at the 2015 Simmsational Sale -Wide Open.We believe they give a little extra punch with a unique and outcrossed pedigree. As for the Angus we have some familiar sires (Eye Spy, Kodiak, 6Z) but also 2 new ones we strongly believe will boost any program.

Lazy MC Tradition is coming off an excellent show season being named Red Angus Show Bull of TheYear, and our new herdsire Lazy MC Knockout is proving his worth with exceptional calving ease and growth.The bulls in the offering are stacked with maternal and paternal pedigrees.They are stout made, big topped, sound structured, that will go on to serve the beef industry their utmost.The dams are all strong uddered, as well we get rid of any problem ones.

Please call anytime (306-631-8749 Jon) or (306-631-8763 Michael) if you want any additional information or to discuss your options.The bulls this year again are being wintered at Brian’s and I’m sure he can answer any questions you might have as well.

Thank you, TheVerstegen Family

I am very high on this feature bull called ‘Denali’. His ‘Liner 56U’ dam is a good one and recently sold to Sun Rise Simmentals and Maxwell Simmentals as a feature cow in our recent Female Sale. Once again, he exhibits the ‘McDavid’ style, with muscle and performance. He could walk into any show ring, pasture or stud with the best of them. ‘Denali’ had a moderate birth weight and a low 281 day gestation. Make sure you check out his excellent EPDs as they are all in the ‘green’ or above breed average. Sons such as this are going to put his ‘McDavid’ sire on the map in a big way.

His dam who has udder shape as good as any was a high seller to Canadian Donors. She has received many compliments by touring visitors. Combining the look of his dam with that of ‘Heaven Sent 30X’, the dam of ‘McDavid’, will surely lock in some outstanding maternal phenotype. Retaining 100 doses for in herd use.

We run a 200 head Angus cross cow/calf herd. The last 5 years we have been using Spring Creek Sim/Angus bulls. We have found that the birth weights have stayed consistent in the 80 to 90 pound range and the uniformity has been excellent and weaning weights in the fall have increased substantially. The maternal side has been working as well with the mature cows staying in the 1450 to 1500 pound range.

‘58E’s’ dam sold in our recent sale to Lone Star Simmentals and they are very happy with her new a ‘McDavid’ heifer. This sire prospect is very long bodied as all of his maternal sibs have been.

This fall I called Brian to let him know how happy I was with the calves from the ‘Spring Creek’ bulls.

Almost half of my bull power are ‘Spring Creek’ bulls.

Three hundred steers which were born end of March, April and May were sold the last week of November and averaged 715 pounds. They’re wide topped with big hind ends and ton of depth and hair. “Lots of hair” were comments from other producers and cattle buyers.

Our pastures are native grasses and bush with rotational grazing. Here, you need bulls that are free moving, good footed, easy keeping and quiet. The bulls I have from Spring Creek have all that.They work here.

I’ve had good luck with many bulls from other breeders.When I’m asked “where’s a good place to buy bulls” I give that producer a list of breeders I have had success with and ‘Spring Creek’ is a name that’s on that list.
