Benchmark Charolais Bull Sale Welcome to the 5th Annual Benchmark Bull Sale. It’s an exciting time to be in the cow-calf business with prices being at an all time high. The demand for Charolais and Char-cross calves continues to increase. Add in our philosophy of easy calving and high weaning weight and you will reap the benefits in the fall. For those of you looking to retain replacement heifers in your herd our balanced EPD’s should give you the growth, as well as the milking ability you are looking for.

The Blackbern and Whitewater bulls are being fed at our farm in Foresters Falls. The bulls are fed free choice hay and limit fed a pelletted bull ration. The bull field allows the “boys” to get the exercise they require to maintain great muscle condition with limited fat.

Look through the catalogue and contact Keith or Kurtis for more information. These pictures were taken in January so please feel free to stop by to view the bulls at any time as they will change appearance almost weekly at this stage of their development.

We look forward to seeing you on sale day. Come early for the complimentary beef on a bun lunch!

- The Black’s We at Kirlene Cattle would like to welcome you to Cobden and the Benchmark Bull sale in the heart of eastern Ontario cattle country. It is with anticipated excitement that we offer these bulls to you from our breeding program. The demand for Char and Char cross cattle in the feedlot continues to be very strong. Presented before you is the opportunity to enhance or replace your herd sire with the expectation of increased pounds for your cattle come sale time.

The bulls at Kirlene Cattle have been fed 4th cut wrapped hay along with a 12% bull pellet ration from Shur Gain. The bulls have been weighed every 28 days and the results can be followed on the BIO web site, under ‘bull evaluation’.

Our bulls are smooth shouldered, deep and thick with lots of hair. Some are recommended for heifers, while others have been haltered and part of our show string.

Please give us a call and we can help you in your selection process to enhance your farms breeding program. Remember at Kirlene Cattle there are always “Endless Options and Endless Possibilities”.

We look forward to meeting you on March 12th.

Something to Think About:

Increase in pounds per calf from a top-performance bull × number of cows bred to a bull each year × number of years to keep the bull × expected selling price of calves = additional dollars you can pay for a better bull Example: If a bull adds 30 lbs to calf weights × 25 calves = 750 lbs 750 lbs x 4 years = 3000 lbs 3,000 lbs × $2.50/lb = 7,500 additional dollars
