BRED HEIFERS - FULLBLOOD & PUREBRED HEIFER CALVES - HERD BULL PROSPECTS
This is one of the longest running fall female sales in the entire nation! We’ve come full circle, after a significant hiatus, managing last year’s sale once again! Thank you to the Keystone Konnection sale group.
I do believe that sometimes consignment sales can be a bit overlooked as there aren’t usually breeders of vastly significant size included, as they most likely operate their own independent sale. However, the reality and opportunity that lie within the multi-consignor design brings the higher quality end of MULTIPLE herds to makeup the roster, therefore enhancing buyer opportunities to access solid value from many different breeding programs.
Adding to the potential from a diversity perspective, is simply the fact that this is a Simmental sale, therefore, excellent herd additive opportunities will exist in the Fullblood, Black and Red Simmental varieties.
Also giving multiple opportunities is the fact that both male and female breeding pieces are on offer! Coming off this screaming hot calf market, that next new herdbull purchase prior to year end will help save tax money to the “Feds”! Same scenario on the heifers, add some replacements to balance that extra fall income.
We always hope you can be with us in person, but if you can’t be here, take advantage of our highly-trusted, confidential, absentee-buyer services. Simply call my cell, or any of my associates listed to access this free service.
See you in Brandon,
providing the coffee.

Rich Mc Simmentals is excited to welcome you to the Keystone Konnection Sale. Rich Mc started in the Fleckvieh Fullblood’s in 1997 purchasing their first foundation females from Richmond Farms at Fleckfest. You will see a number of our females and bulls being offered today tracing back to these two great females - Richmond Miss Moses 77G and Richmond Miss Baltimore 75G. Our goal has always been to bring you top end genetics and animals that are unique and will offer something to the industry. This year we are offering 3 very special open heifers (one homozygous, one polled, and one horned) as well as 8 top end homozygous polled, polled and horned bulls. All are right off the top end of our herd. We wanted to show you the depth of our horned and polled programs. You will see five dfferent and unique herd sire lines and a number of founding cow family lines that we started with 28 plus years ago.
We will winter all the bulls till April 1, semen check and deliver. Visit with us prior to the sale if you need to discuss a payment option. For any international sales, we will work with you. Contact us to discuss options.
If you have any questions, feel free to call us or the sale management. Looking forward to visiting with you on December 2!

Cherry Bomb, an exceptional POWERFUL HOMOZYGOUS POLLED, Non-dilutor, Fullblood,100% Fleckvieh, exemplifies our breeding program’s goals and originates from a notable cow family in our herd. Her dam, 6H is one of those sought after Starwest Ember daughters that we highly value. Notably, our $105,000 high-selling female last year was also dammed by an Ember daughter. 6H’s maternal lineage traces back to a founding Baltimore x Zereeva daughter that we acquired in 1997 from Richmond Farms (the Muellers), a pioneer breeder. This cow family is noted for great udders and milking capabilities, characterized by soggy females with attractive femininity and correct leg and foot structure. Paternally, sired by Kalahari (a polled Jahari son–who we lost way too soon), he has produced some outstanding females for us, showcasing a thick topline, extra length in the loin, and remarkable depth and capacity. Cherry Bomb, one of our top indexing females, exhibits all of these desired traits, and makes her potential limitless as a breeder’s candidate.
Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh, Polled, Non Dilutor
Definitely another top indexing favorite from day one, the only reason we are letting her go is the presence of a Havoc daughter from her grandmother that is equally exceptional. This cow family has consistently produced top-tier females and bull calves for our operation. Being dammed by an Ember daughter enhances her desirability significantly. We acknowledge the outstanding production capabilities of Ember daughters and are excited to witness the emergence of his granddaughters into production. A POLLED Fullblood, 100% Fleck dark red, deep bodied, correct female with that great eye appeal. With Havoc as her sire, Kokomo’s potential is indeed exciting and poised to make a substantial impact.
Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh
I’m not really sure why we are letting this Fullblood, 100% Fleckvieh heifer go. Her first calf mother has demonstrated what we are striving for. This calf was born at a modest 80 pounds and weaned off at 840 pounds. In my books, that is pretty exceptional for a first calf heifer. A thick, deep- bodied, and correct female, Jackie is a JNR Titanium daughter out of a Drakkar dam, who’s maternal line is an outcross to today’s pedigrees. We have placed you in the driver’s seat with this heifer.
Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh, Homozygous Polled, Non-Dilutor
Thunderstruck is without question one of this year’s feature bulls. This exceptional, well- muscled, deep bodied and goodfooted HOMOZYGOUS POLLED, non-dilutor, Fullblood, 100% Fleckvieh bull exhibits outstanding potential! You have a well-balanced set of EPDs that will allow you to mate with a number of genetic lines. This fellow also demonstrates notable performance, weaning off at 1000 lbs on September 1. This is Virginia Toby Keith’s inaugural calf crop and we are indeed excited. The paternal side of Thunderstruck represents the epitome of strategic matings, courtesy of Harry Satchwell of Virginia Ranches’ lifelong mating expertise. Adding in Ember on the bottom side through his outstanding dam Jessica, this bull’s potential is undeniable. I recommend examining his brother in the sale, Rich Mc Soul Man 43N, to understand our enthusiasm. This individual will undoubtedly leave you THUNDERSTRUCK!
Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh, Polled, Non-Dilutor Soul Man is a bull not to be missed. Another son for our new herd bull Virginia Toby Keith. Please review Thunderstruck PP 18N footnotes above and you will note similar characteristics in Soul Man. Soul Man, a POLLED, nondilutor 100% Fleckvieh Fullblood, is one cool cat boasting exceptional eye appealing appearance. He exhibits great depth and capacity with a well- structured quarter, correct legs and feet and as deep a red color as you can get. The influence of Starwest Ember as a maternal grand sire is definitely an asset given Ember’s proven track record of producing exceptional offspring that have gone on to work well. Originating from the Jola cow family, you again add in a top producing female genetic line. The guesswork is done here, folks!
Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh, Polled, Non-Dilutor
This individual is going to be quite a herd bull, boasting exceptional length, depth, volume, eye appeal, and a quiet temperament, complemented by solid foot and leg structure, plus weaning off at 1010 pounds on September 1, what’s there not to like. His dam has an impressive record with her first daughter in our herd who is proving her worth in gold. Additionally, his dam’s progeny includes a high-selling daughter at Corley Land and Cattle in Tennessee, a daughter at Maid Rite Simmentals in Missouri, and a son walking the pastures at Geislers in the Interlake. His sire, Skywest Havoc, has consistently produced outstanding females and powerful, masculine, early maturing power bulls. He is a POLLED, non-dilutor Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh. Anyone who purchases this fella will be in the driver’s seat.
Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh, Polled, Non-Dilutor
Another exceptional Skywest Havoc son, out of a deep soggy favorite female, Steel boasts a long loin, deep body, dark red POLLED non-dilutor Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh. Steel, a bull that offers considerable diversity in producing those big heavy weaning male calves, while also adding front end replacement heifers and the ability to make many of them polled in the process. This mating has proven successful, as evidence by a full sister being a sale feature in the Heritage Sale in Oklahoma and was sold to Heritage Farms in Arkansas. As well, a maternal sister is making her home in Missouri at Maid Rite Simmentals.
Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh, Polled, Non-Dilutor
The Rock’s sire, Havoc, consistently produces those big growthy herd bulls. In today’s exciting cattle market, increased weight translates to a greater ROI (return on investment) for the producer. As a Havoc son, with Ember as a maternal grand sire and a Blossom daughter as the dam, this dark red power bull offers built in consistency, thereby enhancing the ROI. The Rock boasts a well-balanced set of EPD’s, featuring a weaning weight EPD in the top 35%. This POLLED, non-dilutor Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh is definitely a reliable Rock to build on.

Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh, Polled, Non-Dilutor
TNT’s sire, Havoc, consistently demonstrates the ability to produce those attractive power bulls as evident in the 4 sons we have brought to town for you. This POLLED non-dilutor
Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh definitely has that explosive gaining ability, weaning off at 1070 lbs on Sept 1 with an adjusted weight of 980 lbs, ranking him second among the bulls. His notable length and thickness particularly over the back and loin area have effectively translated into pounds on this guy. His dam, Exray, has a proven track record of producing high-quality offspring, consistently delivering herd bulls and replacement heifers. This is the fourth time we have done this mating; it really does work!
100% Full Fleckvieh Fullblood, Polled, Non-Dilutor
This super stout made, heavily muscled bull with a deep red coat and strong foot is a Polled, non-dilutor Fullblood, 100% Fleckvieh, herd bull in the making. Sired by Rich Mc Pol Kingston, who is now at Double Bar D, his pedigree has the genetic influence of Havoc Juggernaut, Piona and Eldandi on the top side. Loverboy comes from a powerful and exceptionally productive cow family. Maternally we have the strength of Ember and 3 founding cow families for us. His stoutness, muscling and softness really reminds me of Ember when we purchased him in 2017 from Starwest as a 11-month-old calf. Over the years, Ember has consistently produced highly sought-after bulls and females, with his daughters continually outperforming anything we could have ever imagined. Notably, last year’s $105000 sale feature, Honey I’m Good, was dammed by an Ember daughter, which was purchased by Jeff Knox of Australia. Furthermore, a $24000 maternal sister was sold to Ultra Livestock and Barlee at the 2024 World Simmental Sale. Loverboy would be one we would keep in the herd if we could, we just have so many Ember daughters and granddaughters that we would not be able to utilize him to his full potential. Our loss is your gain.
100% Full Fleckvieh Fullblood Quarterback, a bull I highly valued throughout the summer, exceeded my expectations upon entering the weaning pen. I firmly believe this bull has tremendous potential for future success. Phenotypically and genotypically wise, he embodies the ideal characteristics. As the son of Rich Mc Pol Kingston, a Havoc son we utilized for two years before selling to Double Bar D, Quarterback inherits a legacy of consistency from his sire. Kingston consistently produces bull and heifer calves with attractive phenotypes. Quarterback’s dam is the result of an embryo that we preserved in our tank for nearly two decades, and we are thrilled to have done so. This embryo is rooted in our founding polled genetics, dating back over twenty years, and is anchored by Richmond Miss Moses 77G, a foundation cow in our program. The genetic blending, courtesy of Fred Schuetze via BHR Draco, adds significant value to this impressive package. Quarterback ranked first in our weaning pen, achieving a weaning weight of 1050 lbs on Sept. 1, with an adjusted weight of 1030 lbs. This Fullblood 100% Fleckvieh possesses the ability to convert pounds into profit and will undoubtedly serve as a valuable QUARTERBACK for your herd.

We’re excited to present three bred and four open heifers in this year’s event.
Our Red females are sired by our herd bull IPU Betts 30J—a sire we consider one of the most successful and productive to ever walk our pastures. We’re especially proud of our Black bred heifer, sired by WLB Blaze On 353G and backed by Cobra on the paternal side. She combines outstanding length, impressive depth, and elegant femininity—she truly has “the look.” All three bred heifers are bred to our calving-ease specialist, PLCC 44K TimberWolf.
Our Black open heifers are sired by a Monument son we acquired from Northern Lights. These three females are picture-perfect, showcasing style, depth, and excellent disposition. They are naturally eye-catching and refined—ready for the show ring. The four open heifers have been well-prepped for the show halter—ideal for anyone seeking prospects for 4-H or the junior show circuit.
All heifers are up to date with their vaccinations and Ivomec.
We welcome you to visit our yard ahead of the sale to view the heifers in person, and we’re happy to answer any questions you may have. As always, thank you to everyone who has shown interest in our program over the years. Your ongoing support means the world to us!

On behalf of us here at Crest View I would like to welcome you all to the 47th Annual Keystone Konnection Sale. It is a pleasure as always to work alongside such a great group of progressive breeders! We would also like to thank the sales management crew at Transcon for all they do. These are exciting times in the cattle business; what a time to capitalize on females that will last in your herd for generations to make an impact! As a family run operation and long time consigners to this sale we are once again proud to bring you some of our best for our female offering. As of this year our family has been at this for 50 years; from the highs & lows we still strive to bring our finest offering of females from the top of the pen to this sale. We are in this for the long haul, hoping to be at this for generations to come and aim to produce females that will go out and work for any operation. Our cattle are not babied and are what we hope are those low maintenance kind that bring in the returns and stick with you for years to come, longevity is what we breed for. This year we have brought you a mix of breds and a couple of opens. We are trying to expand our cow herd by retaining yet a few other breds that could have easily come to town. These ladies are an honest reflection of the ones we run at home and the calves are some new and exciting genetics that have worked out well for us. These girls are not pushed hard and come to you in what we think is nice condition to go into the upcoming calving & breeding seasons. Our pictures we do ourselves and are an honest shot of the girls that day, we will offer videos of them closer to sale time. They are on a pellet ration with free choice hay and a full mineral package prior to sale time. All are on the Phizer Gold program with Ivomec and the breds will have their first shot of Scourguard. The calves are confirmed open and the breds are caught to their A.I service dates in the vets opinion. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call or stop by to see them in their home environment. We look forward to seeing you all December 2nd.

Here’s a real tanky sweetheart we debated on parting with. Deep & thick with a sweet made front end. She’s out of one of our favourite first calf heifers; a deep bodied Style heifer that I think did a whale of a job her first time out. Style has done a tremendous job for us in both heifer and bull divisions alike. As her mother did, she is setting up a picture perfect udder. She is a granddaughter of the 51C cow, who just happens to be the dam of the following catalogued lot in our offering. Cow maker proof is in the genetics here! These Red Heat daughters are making their mark at our place. Bred up early A.I to Genex’s new exciting outcross bull KS Calibrate. He has given us the best calf in the red division of our bull pen this year thus far, the results should be awfully exciting! Limited semen left on this A.I sire, so you’d best jump on this opportunity.
Preg tested safe October 9th to A.I breeding April 13/2025 – KS Calibrate K209 - #1492442. Exposed to CSV 38M June 12- Aug 1, 2025. Consigned by Crest View Land & Cattle Co. Ltd.
Here’s another neat made bred; in close maternal relation to our first lot. A big, deep, broody red blaze face female. Out of our 51C cow who’s as big and as tanky of a Cobra that walks the pasture here. With a great udder set, she’s a consistent producer of either bulls in our sale or saleable females. Sired by the Mountain bull we walked for a number of years, and who made tremendous females for us. If you are looking for maternal; this one has it, as she stems back to one of our favourites, the 27U cow who produced some great seed stock for us here over the years. As good of udder structure and milk as you will find. This genetic pairing just works at our place and you won’t be disappointed. Again bred up early to the KS Calibrate bull, opportunity knocks here for fresh outcross genetics in her calf!

She’s been a favourite to pick out since she was born. A jet black heifer with a snip of white on her face, one of those hard to miss kinds! As I believe I stated in earlier footnotes, the LFE Style bull has done nothing but good for us in both the heifer and bull divisions with this one being no exception. These calves come easy but perform and grow into cattle that survive the culling process at our place every time. A well muscled, clean fronted heifer that is as long as a freight train; which we have found to be evident in the Style calves. Again out of a first calf heifer; a Heat daughter that made her mark on her first crack. Perfect udders and nice teats run deep in this cow family. Bred up to an exciting mating of the calving ease Kaboom bull, you’ll be up waiting for this one!
Preg tested safe October 9th A.I to IRCC Double Bar D Kaboom 205K May 4/2025 - #1419405. Exposed to CSV 38M June 12- Aug 1, 2025. Consigned by Crest View Land & Cattle Co. Ltd.
Wow what a female! We don’t generally offer heifer calves as we like to see them grow to project as possible retentions for the herd. But trying to build some numbers on breds we had to skim off the top of our replacement pen to fill our offering for this top notch sale. This heifer has been one of our favourites since day one; out of one of our best red white faced Cobra cows. We have had great results with our genetic mixing of Copperhead; if you’re looking to introduce some growth to your herd this girl will do just that. Genetically good with a slight outcross, yet maternally backed. Her grand dam was one of the greats here; producing retained or saleable cattle until the ripe age of 14. The Mar Mac; Club King sired 3Y cow purchased from this sale years ago, had a perfect udder until her last days here. I believe this girl has a great future as a matron cow for whoever her new owner may be!
Preg tested open on October 9th, 2025.

Quite the sweetheart of a heifer here! Her dam, a Gold Key; is quickly proving herself here as one that raises the good ones. If you happen to be looking for a mixed pedigree of calving ease; hers is stacked. Her mother is a moderate framed red cow with some flecks of black in her face as you will see the attributes in this one. Good udder & teat placement runs long in the maternal side here. This girl is a twin and it was quite the debate of which one to offer as they are both great. We haven’t been scared to step outside the box in our A.I program to use some new genetics to broaden the genetic pool in our cattle. We’ve used Burley successfully for calving ease in our operation with good results. I believe this one has a long road ahead of her maternally, going back to our never miss KASK 340A Pioneer cow. Her grand dam at her age still produces the good ones with a great udder and walks on a very good set of feet & legs. You’d never know her age by looking at her! This one would make a great junior project or just put her in your replacement pen and let her rise to the top.

I first consigned to this sale in 1981 and have tried to bring a couple of head every year . This year from my 7 cows I got 4 heifers and 3 of them are in the sale. This year 2 young brothers - Brock and Rhett Sigurdson offered to take my heifers after weaning and do all the work getting them ready for the sale. Thanks so much to you guys! Your help is greatly appreciated!
To everyone- hope to see you at the sale.

This heifer is extremely attractive,clean fronted, deep and full bellied! Her picture and video tell more about her than any comments can. My pasture was amazing all year and pasture and momma’s milk resulted in the calves coming home in excellent condition- no need for creep that’s for sure!The dam is a moderate,hard working Erixon cow.1N is homo polled by parentage.
5N is out of an extremely easy doing and powerful Betts daughter. Her first calf-an Epic- sold in the Keystone Sale to young Chet Woychyshyn. This summer Chet showed her as 2 year old with calf and was champion female at his 4-H achievement. Congratulations to Chet! 5N herself is moderate in frame and full of natural thickness. Again- her picture and video do her more justice than my comments.
6N is out of an extremely easy keeping, moderate, good producing black Launch daughter. In the 2022 Keystone sale her Tycoon daughter sold the good folks at Siroski Simmentals. That heifers first calf sold in their 2025 bull sale. 6N herself is deep, super stout with momma cow written all over her. Again, the picture and video speak for her! Homo Polled.

Welcome everyone to the fall sales run and our second appearance at the Keystone. Huge thanks go out to all the bidders and buyers from last year, our fellow consigners for inviting us back and to the Transcon crew for the pasture visits and words of encouragement. What a great year to be involved in the cattle industry! Once again it was like pulling teeth to get Jeff to let me put a few heifers in this sale and they walked right off grass into the picture pen. Our cattle are raised in a commercial cattle environment, eating a high ruffage TMR so they are built for longevity. Please get in touch with us if you would like to come for a tour in the yard or if you would like more information or videos on the heifers.

high seller to Eastrise Cattle & Farm in Leduc. These Chet 111H daughters are few and far between as we lost him in March. Her dam is a beautiful black blaze cow going back to the old High Roller 12T bloodlines. Horned/Polled test pending
We’ve got a boy that’s sad to see this one go! Sam had good luck showing this animal as a calf and again as a bred heifer so if your looking for quiet she’s your girl. Minnie is going to be a bull maker — hooks to pins she’s as long as a freight train with the middle to go with it. She is bred to the high selling heifer bull we bought from Ashworth Farm & Ranch so whether it be a heifer or bull you get it should be a win. Horned/Polled test pending
AI’d Apr 19 (due Jan 29) to KWA Statement 6K. Preg checked 5 months Sept 16; safe to AI. Exposed to KWA 6K afterward.

Welcome back to the 47th edition of the Keystone Konnection Simmental Sale!
As always, it’s great to be back in the Keystone with all the fellow consigners, this year especially. It’s a great time to be alive in the cattle industry with well-deserved historic market highs, and futures looking strong into the 2026 season as well. It’s a great time to reinvest in the cow herd or as us Gen Z say “treat yoself” to a new breeding piece. This year I have another bombproof red heifer calf on offer, sweet in all the right spots, and as correct as they come – just the way I like them.

Another year has passed and we are pleased to be a part of the strong offering at the Keystone Konnection Sale for 2025.
We most certainly appreciate the support from the buyers and bidders over the past 2 years. The bred heifers on offer this year are both very eye-appealing, functional females and we feel could really compliment a progressive breeding program. If there are any que stions, feel free to call at any time.
Looking forward to seeing everyone sale day.

Homo Polled, Homo Black Striker Anna 44M is an LFE Game Face daughter that possesses the type of femininity good mother cows are made of.

We bred Anna to the easy calving, high performance bull Proclamation.
Bred April 15, 2025 to WS Proclamation E202. No exposure.

Welcome to the Keystone Konnection Sale. Great to see calf prices finely where they should be!
Our herd is on a comprehensive herd health program and our consignments have received both their initial and booster Scourbos vaccinations. They are both bred to the Select Sire’s popular young sire “RFS Electrify L46”. He has a great set of EPDs, combining calving ease and performance- top 1% for CE and BW, Top 25% for WW, Top 15% for YW, and Top 40% for milk. Although he is a 3/4 blood, both of our consignments are 15/16, so the resulting calves will be 7/8 purebreds. Everett and Irene
Homo Polled by Parentage Ranked 2nd in adj W Wt in our 2024 heifer pen and comes from one of our best cow families. Her dam was our summer fair show cow for a few years pre covid, and now as a 12 year old, has arguably the top bull in this year’s bull calf pen.
Bred AI safe April 15, to RFS Electrify L46due Jan 26.

Hello from Flatlands and welcome to the 47th annual Keystone Konnection sale. We are both humbled and honored to be a part of this sale with this group of other astute progressive breeders.
We have been breeding commercial cattle since 2016, spending the first years using a few different breeds of bulls trying to find our niche. We were introduced to Fullblood simmentals by Jason and Mylia of RichMc Farms in 2019. Our love for Fullblood cattle started there when we noticed the positive attributes the breed brought to our commercial herd. We are fairly new to this side of the industry and are very excited to continue expanding and learning. Thank you for your interest and consideration on our consignment lots! We welcome any questions regarding our program and management. Feel free to give us a call or schedule a visit to come meet the girls at the farm beforehand! Look forward to seeing you sale day!

Milkshake came to us in-utero from one of our picks out of the Homestead T herd. She’s a bit of a misnomer for us as we don’t have a purebred division otherwise she would be staying. Deep, broody, dark cherry red and added maternal with the fleckvieh influence, we feel the potential here is huge for this powerful female. Sound to the ground and a bag built to last, this girl will be one to watch sale day!
AI bred May 2 to KWA Can-Am 123H for Feb 8 calving.

We are excited to be first time consignors into the esteemed Keystone Konnection sale this year and would like to thank fellow consignors for having us as well as the Transcon crew for taking the time to tour through our program. Building our Simmental herd as been a love project quietly growing in the background of our operation. It is something we have poured a lot of thought, time and heart into – and now, we are excited to let it take a front seat. Offering this female marks the first step in showcasing what we have been working toward and sharing the direction of our program with others. Our focus is traditional full-blood catt le that bring maternal strength and performance for the commercial breeder. Simmental and Angus have always been our breeds of choice and believe they pair fantastically in the commercial world.
Buy with confidence on this heifer that she was created with quality over quantity in mind!

Here’s a heifer calf that check’s the boxes – long spined, bold bodied and built right from the ground up. Her deep, dark cherry red catches your eye right away and keeps your attention with her structural integrity and easy-moving stride. Her dam is a Bonchuk female who as been a cornerstone in our Simmental herd. She’s moderate in frame, deep in capacity and the kind that quietly goes about raising a good one year after year. The maternal strength behind this female runs deep, and it shows in her fleshing ability and overall design. Sired by our Antrim Adonis son, she carries that same stamp of soundness and foot quality that has made him such a reliable breeding piece to us. This heifer brings together the best of both sides – functional, attractive, and bred to go out and make a cow that works.
