It is certainly an honour to be asked to donate this year’s FCSF heifer. This program has deep roots in the Canadian Simmental industry and is a cause we are excited to support. The long list of past donators is a group of breeders we are pleased to have our name alongside. While watching the past editions of the event, it has been incredible to see the capital generated by this fundraising auction. Along with the ensuing impact it has had on both education and the youth of the breed. We are hopeful and interested to see where the future direction of this valuable foundation is headed.
This year’s heifer is one we appreciate on many levels and one we mulled over for many weeks before selecting her to represent our program. A sound, maternally built female with a calving ease pedigree and an exceptional EPD profile. Her dam is a female with multiple generations of KWA bred sires and dams as represented in her pedigree. Her pedigree is highlighted by both the great Ms Rock 14X female and the Pixie 75T donor. Her sire BEE Alpha 915J, is coming off back-to-back springs raising multiple feature sons selling to operations across Canada. This past calving season, saw the first set of Alpha daughters come into production and we are pleased to say they are excelling in that regard. KWA 50M is an angular and feminine female that possesses the dimension and power Simmental females are revered for. Bred to our newest, red calving ease sire and high seller from the Westway Farms Spring bull sale; WFL 35M. This young female is one we think will represent us well going forward and is one we had no plans of letting go if not for this great opportunity to support such a worthy cause.

104Z has lived up to all of the expectations we had for her when we purchased her from the R Plus dispersal. Her first two calf crops for us have been standouts, easily fleshing, big bodied and functional is a typical description for any of her calves. Her progeny have made their mark in the industry right from her first calf the infamous R Plus Venom 4006B. Mated with the proven RF Capacity 742E the resulting calves will be front pasture cattle. With 104Z being recently deceased this will be one of if not the last chance to get direct eggs from Tula. Millington Ranch is proud to support the Foundation sale with our best genetics.

She produced a past Double Bar D high selling bull in 2022 to Virginia Ranch for $110,000, and has a “Chandler 143A” daughter emerging as a future donor in the Double Bar D Fullblood herd. Kim is the picture of power and elegance, maintaining an excellent udder and perfect feet coming on 13 years of age. This is the type of female you can’t go wrong in investing in this one of a kind fullblood cow, and mated with the highly proven Polled Double Bar D Spitfire the sky is the limit. This is an excellent opportunity to invest in leading edge fullblood genetics and support the Foundation at the same time.

HOMOZYGOUS POLLED :: HOMOZYGOUS BLACK
The Homo/Homo bull that was on our radar for quite some time. Tokyo Rose is the Slider son we have chose to charge forward with as he has so much to offer. Every great herd bull should be backed by a gorgeous cow and a productive cow family and when you have a Betts x Molly Dooker 34C female such as the one backing him, you know your in great shape maternally. Tokyo Rose is a big time calving ease option with an up headed, sharp look. He is big ribbed, broad topped and square hipped with an awesome skull and front end. He has a big strong foot and ranks in the top 2% for CE in the breed and top 5% for bw while still remaining in the top 15% for WW and YW. A big time spread from birth to yearling on this absolute stud of a bull have us very fired up to see what he can do.

SVS Rockstar was the 95,000 highlight, Red Baldie, calving ease bull out of the Sunny Valley bull sale to KT Ranches. Awesome phenotype, square hipped, stout made, huge ribbed all combined into a calving ease package. Rockstar is a blend of the up and coming calving ease LAR Vanderhoof, with one of the time tested, most consistent and profitable cow families in the breed, The Sage family. Rockstar saw heavy use in the heifer pen at KT this year, and will be one of the most anticipated groups of the 2026 calving season. A great opportunity to add genetics on a Red Baldie calving ease bull, with a great look and a bright future.
KT Disco 4065M was a result of one of the best combination flushes ever done at KT Ranch. The combination of LFE Cabaret and WHL Counters 1764 delivered Disco with the superior quality, performance and eye appeal. He offers the kind of genetics that will move the most discriminating program forward. His Sire Cabaret is the perfect example of buying a bull when you find him, not when you need him. The first set of calves were exactly what was hoped for the day he was bought by KT Ranch, Blackgold and Canadian Sires. KT Disco 4065M has the look to continue the legacy of his sire’s footsteps.
