SWSSOUTHWEST SHOWCASE BULL SALE

Welcome From Transcon Livestock

Like the name would suggest this is a “SHOWCASE” event in south western Saskatchewan. These group of three breeders need no introduction to the industry. X-T Simmentals, Boundary Ranch and Scherger Ranching have been in the Simmental business for years and in the business of producing Ranch raised bulls. Seed stock that are bred to last and have longevity.

It’s always a pleasure touring these breeders bull pens and driving through the cow herds in the hot days of summer. The thing I notice the most is the consistency each breeding unit exemplifies from one end of the cowherd to the other. Good footed, good uddered and easy fleshing mama cows. This “STAMP” of quality and type really shows up when you tour the bull pens in the early months of winter.

They are always out sourcing and searching to find a herdsire that will help to improve and add a new twist to the upcoming breeding season. When they find something they think will add value to their programs they stick to it and make it work. Being consistent on breeding top end sires to the powerful cowherds they have built up over the years, brings us to this “SHOWCASE” Event annually. The bull sale offering is built around years of hardwork and the know how of crossing genetics and producing what the ranchers want.

On offer you will find big, powerful cow bulls that are big ribbed, heavy muscled, loose hided, big hipped and hairy. Bulls with lots of testicle development and are overall structurally sound and good footed, they will get out and travel in the most diverse conditions.

There will also be a group of calving ease bulls to select from.... Bulls that are long spined, nice fronted, smooth shouldered with neck extension and nice skulled. They are bred for calving ease yet still maintain the performance necessary to keep the pounds at weaning and clip the coupon $$$.

On behalf of the consignors and ourselves here at Transcon we invite you to join us on Monday March 27th at Heartland Livestock in Swift Current.
