SALE HISTORY: Seven generations of the Richardson Family have been raising beef cattle on the Tlell River estuary here on Haida Gwaii since 1919. Early on all cattle where marketed as beef processed on farm. The transition from a commercial cow herd to 100% registered cows started in early 80’s and took nearly twenty years. So began our foray into the business of breeding and selling seedstock under the Tlell Polled Hereford herd name.
Registered Richardson Hereford bulls were sold to the commercial cattlemen at the Vanderhoof Bull Sale from1986 and at the William’s Lake Bull Sale from 2000. In 2012 we held our first Annual Online Sale to sell our Registered Polled Hereford females and a few elite bulls to fellow Hereford Breeders every September. We have produced exportable embryos and semen allowing us to sell Tlell genetics to customers across Canada and overseas to Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay as well as USA and Mexico. When the pandemic interrupted in person bull sales five years ago we made the decision to consolidate our bull marketing to a single early spring date using DLMS. This year we are consolidating our spring bull sale and fall female sale into a single late fall sale.
Please join us on Dec 20, 2025 on DLMS Farmgate
Dear Hereford Enthusiasts
,
Welcome to our 16th Annual Online Fall Sale as we move to consolidate our Bull Sale and our Female Sale which traditionally we have held spring and fall respectively.
The driving force behind this change is two fold. First our 2024 and 2025 spring calf crops were both very heavy to bulls. Hard to host a female sale when you have mostly bulls for sale. Secondly our Online Spring Bull Sale we have hosted for last three springs was being lost in the many many Online Bull Sales across Canada in March. As a very isolated ranch not showing cattle at National Shows we find many of out potential customers are making choices earlier in the year. We hope that a sale in Dec, with delivery in the spring, will allow more potential customers to take the time to consider a Tlell bull as a viable option. Lastly a Dec sale allows astute cattlemen to re- invest some the dollars earned from spectacular calf sales this fall before the tax man askes for his share on January 1st.
The last three year have been extremely weather challenged in Tlell. Our subsoil moisture was nonexistent and both pastures and silage suffered. 2025 started out cold and dry right up to end of June. July saws first some heat and then the rains returned. We were slow to get started but eventually we were able to put up enough feed to get us through next winter, Best silage crop in 3 years. And timely rains have given us our best fall pastures in many years. Having reduced our cow numbers in last few years we are optimistically increasing our pregnant cows being wintered this fall.
The Richardson family is closing our 107th year of raising beef on Haida Gwaii. We are proud to still have three generations involved on the farm every day. While it may not be the best place in the world to raise cattle, it is arguably the best place to raise a family. Thanks again to the whole family for all their contributions which make it possible for us to raise and market pedigree Hereford cattle and genetics.
Don & Les
We know the data published on each of our sale bulls can be very intimidating for a breeder not familiar with the EPD system. However, we have two Indexes which will help you sort the bulls on offer.
Where do we get these numbers ?
TOTAL HERD EVALUATION: Total Herd Evaluation or THE Program came to the Ranch with the Registered Hereford seed stock. It is a set of tools provided Hereford Breeders by our Association. THE allowed us to carry on the selection process we started in the Federal ROP program but now EPD’s were available. We learned quickly that the use of EPDs allowed us to make seven times faster genetic progress than simply using performance records alone. Unlike performance records which generated indexes and adjusted weights and ranks which only allowed for in herd comparisons, computer generated EPDs built on the performance records of large numbers of animals related to each other in the pedigree data base allowed for comparison of animals between herds. The recent addition of DNA analysis, or Genomic Enhancement of the EPDs, has added even more data and hence more accuracy. Today the Hereford breed publishes some 20 EPDs and Indexes. These are updated every week as new data is collected. Tlell Polled Herefords are recognized as a “Seven Star THE Breeder”, meaning we record seven or more traits on every animal in our herd every year. This includes actual measurements like birth, weaning, yearling & cow weights as well as scrotal measurements and Ultrasound carcass data. We also record observations such as calving ease, body condition scores, teat and udder scores as well as exact breeding dates and calving dates.
In the early years of the THE program Richardson Ranch was one of the Hereford Pilot Herds involved with the joint Canadian Hereford Association and Agriculture and AgriFood Canada’s Lethbridge Research Centre (LRC) to investigate the maternal characteristics of the breed and produce an objective measure of maternal ability. The results of this research led to the Maternal Productivity Index or MPI. The MPI combines various traits of economic importance into a single maternal Index.
Feed Efficiency Testing with GrowSafe Pens
In 2011 we sent our first bulls off to Olds College to participate in the Residual Feed Intake research trials. The NSERC (Natural Sciences and Research Council)funded project was completed with the cooperation of the University of Alberta, Olds College and Cattleland Feedyards. RFI is a measure of the variation in feed intake that remains after the requirements for maintenance and growth have been met. Efficient animals eat less than expected and have a negative or low RFI, while inefficient animals eat more than expected and have a positive or high RFI. RFI has good heritability at 0.36 (36%) and little influence or correlation with other traits. Research has shown that selecting for RFI may result in as much as a 9-10% reduction in cowherd maintenance costs, a 10-12% reduction in feed intake, a 25-30% decrease in methane emissions and a 15-20% decrease in manure production. Following the research trials in 2015, Richardson Ranch and other interested Hereford breeders have continued to collect Feed Efficiency Data at Olds College every year.
This fall bulls entered pens equipped with GrowSafe feeders on November 22nd for a 21 day warm up period. Start of test wt iwill be taken Dec 2, 2025 with final end of test weigh on Feb 3, 2026. Data collected includes feed consumption, weight gains, hip height and ultrasound results for backfat thickness, ribeye area and marbling score. After final measurements, data is submitted and EPDs generated.
“Which bull here will make me the most money when used on my cows?”
How do you use EPDs to answer this question? Simple answer, “Indexes”…. Indexes have been used for a long time in poultry, swine and dairy and now Beef producers have access to what are arguably the most powerful genetic selection tool. Indexes are a combination of multiple EPDS, weighed by their influence on prices and costs- of feed, the value of weaned calves, price grids on quality grade and yield grade – it’s all factored in. The important indexes for Canadian Herefords are the Maternal Productivity Index (MPI) and the Feedlot Merit Index (FMI). These allow for a balanced trait selection.
Maternal Productivity Index (MPI)
The MPI combines factors which impact productivity and profitability of Hereford cows in a herd that retains replacements and sells calves at weaning. The index uses 6 EPDs that go into identifying low cost, long lived productive females, producing calves born easy, that grow quickly, all things that make a beef cow profitable in a commercial setting. The MPI selects for smaller framed, more efficient cows, with higher stayability, over cows that excel in calf performance.
Feedlot Merit Index (FMI)
The FMI combines the economically relevant traits affecting profitability of feeder cattle: calving ease, weaning weight, average daily gain, feed intake, yield grade and marbling score. A difference in FMI between two bulls represents a difference between the progeny of the bulls in terms of profitable feeder cattle. FMI is an excellent tool to increase carcass potential of the progeny of bulls used in a terminal sire program where all calves are shipped as feeders and replacement females are purchased from outside sources.
Red indicates top 10 percentile of the Hereford breed **2023-2024 born Hereford calves MPI
There is a challenge for those breeders who want to the best of both worlds. If you raise your own replacements but want calves that will perform in the feedlot and grade at the packer then a more moderate selection for both MPI and FMI can be used to produce progeny with desired maternal and carcass traits. Note: Five lots score extremely high on both MPI and FMI The reason they are so useful is that Indexes balance all the important traits which prevents producers from getting caught up with single trait selection. Some traits are counter-productive when selected for in the extreme. Too much milk might give you bigger calves but it likely will also result in more open cows and higher feed bills! Check out the MPI and FMI indexes on our bulls in the chart above to find which ones will work best for your production model.
Calving Ease
EPD (CE), If you are looking for that heifer bull which will let you “sleep easy” next spring, please consider putting your attention on the calving ease EPD first to identify the “Heifer Bull” candidates in the pen. The qualifying candidates can then be sorted by what else
can bring to your program using their MPI and or FMI to help make your final decision. Find a list of the heifer bulls on page 35.

Sweet little package here! We don’t often have April calves but after settling for nearly 60 days to her AI, 4G came back to the clean-up bull. 4G is a donor dam and has been flushed for Europe several times. Two of her daughters were shown at Bonanza in Alberta last summer. I fully expect 28N will make a great 4-H show heifer next summer.. Both Grand Dam and Great Grand dam were Agribition Grand Champion Females!

EPD Definitions
Calving Ease (CE) Calving Ease EPDs are calculated using birth weight and calving ease score information. Calving ease EPDs represent the ease with which progeny of an animal are born to first calf heifers. The EPD is expressed as a percent probability, with a higher value representing calves with a higher probability of being born unassisted.
Birth Weight (BW) Birth weight is an indicator of calving ease. Higher birth weight EPDs usually indicates more calving difficulty.
Weaning Weight (WW) The weaning EPD reflects progeny growth differences up to 205-days.
Yearling Weight (YW) The yearling EPD reflects progeny growth differences through to 365-days.
Milk The milk EPD indicates the ability of a sire’s daughters to provide their calves with an environment that encourages growth from birth to weaning, through mothering ability and milk production. This EPD is expressed in the expected difference in pounds of calf at weaning.
Total Maternal (TM) Also known as Milk + Growth, this EPD combines the milk EPD plus ½ the weaning weight EPD. It is expressed in pounds of calf weaned at 205-days and combines the genetics for preweaning growth and the influence of the maternal environment on the weaning weight of the daughter’s progeny.
Maternal Calving Ease (MCE) Maternal Calving Ease EPD represents the ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first calf heifers, when compared to daughters of other sires. The EPD is expressed as a percent probability, with a higher value representing daughters with a higher probability of unassisted calving.
Scrotal Circumference (Scrotal Circ.) The Scrotal Circumference EPD reflects differences in scrotal measurements, taken in centimetres and adjusted to 365 days of age. The SC EPD is positively associated with age at puberty of progeny.
Cow Weight (CW) The Cow WT EPD reflects differences in the mature weight of a sire’s daughters. This is important as it is related to maintenance energy requirements.
Stayability (Stay) The Stay EPD reflects differences in the probability that a sire’s daughters will remain in production to produce 3 consecutive calves when retained as breeding heifers.
Maternal Productivity Index (MPI) MPI combines the traits of weaning weight, milk, cow weight and stayability based on their relative economic importance, and then ranks animals within the population.
Feedlot Merit Index (FMI) FMI combines the traits of calving ease, weaning weight, yearling weight, rib-eye area, marbling and fat based on their relative economic importance, and then ranks animals within the population.
Residual Feed Intake (RFI) RFI is a measure of feed efficiency, and is defined as the difference between an animal's actual feed intake and its expected feed intake based on its size and growth.
Post Weaning Gain (PWG) Simply, Weaning Weight EPD subtracted from Yearling Weight EPD
Fat The Fat EPD reflects differences in carcass backfat measures in feeder progeny.
RibEye Area (REA) The REA EPD reflects differences in rib-eye area carcass measures in feeder progeny.
Marbling (MARB) The MARB EPD reflects differences in carcass measures of marbling in feeder progeny, using USDA marbling scores.
Carcass Weight (Carc Wt) The Carcass Weight EPD shows differences in expected carcass weight of feeder progeny in pounds. A higher value indicates heavier carcasses.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
Payment terms: We will contact all winning bids and arrange a down-payment as soon after the closing date as possible. A 50% downpayment on your account is due at this time. We accept Visa, MasterCard, bank transfers, e-transfers or certified cheque. Remaining balance must be paid before cattle are moved to their designated pickup sites.
All yearling bulls in the sale are enrolled in the Olds College Residual Feed Intake trial which ends in first week of February 2026 at which time they will be semen tested. Richardson Ranch will pay for all wintering costs including RFI test, semen testing, and delivery to your designated pickup spot in BC or you can pick your bull up from Olds College at this time.
The two year old bulls and open heifers will winter at Tlell at our cost until such time that we can arrange with the buyers and BC Ferries for a mutually agreeable date for Richardson Ranch to deliver these animals to either Olds College, Alberta or a BC Livestock Yard in Vanderhoof or Williams Lake, as directed by the buyers choice at the time of downpayment. Balance of purchase accounts must be paid prior to the ferry sailing. Each animal purchased becomes the property of the buyer when it comes off our trailer at the designated delivery site and we advise you to acquire insurance on your purchases.
Richardson Ranch will cover board charges at these sites for up to 24 hours. Board bills beyond the first 24 hours will be responsibility of the new owner who must make arrangements for extended stay with staff at the designated yard. We will have all animals brand inspected and provide shipping manifests at our expense prior to your animal being ready for pick up.
Bulls in the sale: All bulls are being sold “100% possession, retaining 50% Semen Interest”. This means should you buy a bull he will be yours to possess and breed to any cattle you wish and eventually sell for salvage without any restrictions. However, should you elect to collect semen from this bull for resale outside your own herd, we would be equal partners in both the collection costs involved and the profits generated from the sale of this semen. This does not apply to “in herd” semen use.
Semen Certificate: All bulls will be semen tested in the 60 days prior to delivery to their new owners. If a bull fails his semen test, your downpayment will be refunded 100%.
Genetic Defects: All the cattle in this sale have been DNA tested to achieve Genomically Enhanced EPDS. All bulls have been tested free of known genetic defects.
Guarantee: All cattle are guaranteed to meet the “Terms and Conditions” as mandated by the Canadian Hereford Association on their “Agreement of Sale” as posted on the hereford.ca web page.
Herd health: All cattle have been vaccinated with “Triangle 10 ”, “8-way Clostridial vaccine with Somnus”, and “Fusiguard for Footrot”. All Tlell animals have been treated with Ivermectin pour-on and Valbazen for both internal and external parasites.
Certificate of Registration: All cattle purchased, will be transferred to the new owner and a registration paper from the Canadian Hereford Association will be supplied.
Grow Safe EPDs and Raw Scan Ultrasound data will be available on the Richardsonranch.ca web site when they become available.
