Welcome to Transcon’s 30th annual Advantage Simmental & Charolais Bull Sale. Please join us for a pre-sale lunch at SLS Saskatoon prior to sale time.
The Advantage is one of our longest-running bull sales. Over the years, it has evolved but consistently helped new breeders enter the bull sales market. The most significant change happened last fall with the dispersal of Double G Simmentals, who had been with us since the beginning. Thank you, Gary and Glenn, for your years of loyalty; working together has been a true pleasure. Best of luck in your future endeavours.
This year, you’ll find an exceptional assortment of Charolais, Red and Black Simmental, along with some outstanding Fleck Fullblood bulls. This long-standing sale is the ideal place to source your next additions to your bull battery from breeders passionate about the cattle industry. With the cattle industry at an all-time high, it’s the perfect time to retire those old herd bulls. Investing a little more in a young herdsire with fresh genetics can yield significant benefits.
Please don’t hesitate to contact any of the breeders in the sale with any questions. With better weather on the horizon you are more than welcome to view the bulls on farm at your leisure. This set of bulls is well worth a look.
We hope to see you on sale day! If you can’t attend, please feel free to contact any member of the Transcon team.

Welcome to the 30th annual Advantage Bull Sale. This long running sale has a long history of presenting both performance and calving ease bulls that will go out and cover a ton of ground and cows. Once again, we will be offering a strong group of DYV CRIMSON TIDE 15G sons that have that extra performance along with truly great hair coats. Also, this year we will be offering the final group of LAE EVEREST 772E sons. In the past these EVEREST sons have offered commercial cattle the added performance and hair and a solid foot that the Charolais breed is so noted for.
If you have any questions about this years offering feel free to give me a call or to stop around the farm prior to the sale. The bulls will also be at SLS a couple days before the sale.
Hope to see everyone at the Advantage Sale at SLS in Saskatoon on Saturday March 29th.

Welcome to Transcon’s 30th Annual Advantage Bull Sale! We are very excited to be back again this year with this group of breeders and with the very professional Transcon team. Our program is focused on producing performance driven, high quality, 100% Fleckvieh and Fullblood Simmental with an emphasis on polled herd sires.
We are very pleased to offer you this pen of bulls which we feel is the most consistent group we’ve produced. All the bulls are backed by powerful Fleckvieh cow families and some of the top genetics in our program. We’re offering 2 homozygous polled virgin 2-year-olds to add some maturity and 10 polled yearlings. Of the yearlings, 4 are homozygous polled. The group offers a significant degree of consistency with solid performance, moderate birthweights, great hair and excellent pigmentation. We’re very excited about this year’s group and hope to see you on sale day. Don’t hesitate to reach out prior to sale day to chat or set up a viewing of the bulls. We look forward to chatting with you.
Kindred Spirit reserves the right to collect semen for in-herd use only, on their offered bulls at their expense and the new owner’s convenience.

Maximus has been a standout right from birth. He is a very eye appealing bull with excellent length and depth of body. He comes from a flush between Helios and a Black Gold dam that we bought at The Source, who has been a perfect female with a great udder and just an overall easy doer. We cannot brag about these Helios calves enough; they are cattle that will work for you. Maximus has all the makings of a herd sire.

Maxx is another bull that has really been catching our attention. He is a really well-balanced bull with ample growth, solid pigment, calving ease and all in a polled package. We purchased his dam from Michael Maronda a few years ago and she’s done an excellent job here. Once again, have a good look at the Helios calves as they are very legit.

He comes from a very productive cow with excellent maternal traits, who just happens to keep producing the right kind of powerful bulls. To complete this pretty excellent package, Mars is homozygous polled; putting the polled stamp on every one of his calves. The potential with this bull is endless.

We are pretty excited about this bull. He’s another good, homozygous polled Helios son with a moderate 93 pound birth weight. We purchased his dam from Anchor D Simmentals as a heifer, now a moderate framed cow that has always done an awesome job. This is a bull that will add lots of pigmentation, keep the birth weight in check and still give you enough performance. A very solid bull, with a very solid pedigree. There are lots of options here with easy calving and tons of performance.

Here is another super dark red, hairy, long bodied polled bull. A Kindred Spirit Glasgow son with lots of upside. We’ve really liked this pair of Glasgow and Ella with two previous incredible matchups, and they certainly haven’t disappointed again with Major. We purchased his dam at The Source a while back and she’s produced some excellent calves over the years. Don’t overlook this bull as he will add power, muscle and make thick calves.

He’s an Arrow son that goes back to an excellent Black Gold cow, Merit is without question, one of this year’s feature bulls. Anyone wanting to benefit from the polled gene but not wanting to give up any extra muscle, this will be the bull for you.

When we were taking yearling weights, this bull really surprised us. We knew he was good, but we didn’t realize just how good he was! He’s the youngest bull in the pen, but he weighed-in right near the top; a true testament to the maternal strength of his Radioactive mother. He’s a long bodied, smooth, homozygous polled bull; flawless in every way. All of these Arrow sons have a tremendous hair coat, are big topped, and have a great disposition. If you’re looking for performance, Motion is no doubt the bull for you.

Marble is an Anchor D Fabulous son from a moderate framed, good uddered cow who has done an incredible job on her first calf here. He has excellent depth of body, lots of thickness and a birth weight that makes him a heifer pen prospect. There is a nice balance of calving ease and performance in this bull making for a lot of versatility.

Mack is a little something different from us with his purebred maternal pedigree, but his Fleck influence certainly shows through. He is a deep sided, soft-made bull with lots of power behind him. His mother is a big framed cow and his sire is our powerhouse Glasgow bull. He has tons of hair, eye appeal and dark colouring. We feel this young bull is going to develop into a real herd sire. A very good bull from a great young cow; he’s worth a good look.

Lariat was the youngest bull in the pen last year, but was a standout for his age. He’s certainly continued to impress and matured into an excellent herd sire prospect. He has a nice birthweight and we would feel confident putting him on a group of heifers or cows. He has a very smooth build with a nice refined front end, yet still has enough performance to be much more than a heifer bull. He has good hair, is a non-dilutor and lots of pigment with the added bonus of being homozygous polled. An interesting package in a two year old virgin bull. Have a close look at this one, he’s the right kind.

We’ve had lots of interest on two year old bulls over the last few years, so here’s a bull with a little extra maturity who will be ready to go and cover a group of cows. Loyal is a long-bodied homozygous polled, Silver Lake Rocky son with great performance and depth of body; a very complete bull. He is backed by an incredible cow family going back to KSC Iona who raised Helios, purchased by Aumack Simmentals. This is a bull we feel has a big future ahead of him. Pedigree is right and he’s a virgin..
Welcome to the 2025 Advantage Bull Sale. I would like to congratulate Double G for a successful dispersal sale and everything they bring to the industry.
It has been a very interesting year in the cattle industry, cattle prices rising to all time highs but with uncertainty of tariff’s. One thing that doesn’t change in one year is the number of cattle in the north American herd or how or when that number begins to increase but in a world full of red blooded meat eaters hungry to prove that you don’t need to eat fake meat to save the world, and that red meat is a healthy part of a balanced diet. These cattle numbers that will take time to increase and look forward to years of strong demand.

Heavy muscling is what best describes this chunk of red meat.

When I saw this bull’s dam sell in Black Gold’s sale to Knox Simmentals and Bouchard Livestock, I thought I would try to get some embryos when they came up for sale. This big time red polled fleckvieh bull has everything right about him and I believe this bull could have a very bright future.
This bull has a large frame and carries his muscle expression well for it. A bull that will cover a lot of ground on big cows. Another embryo bull out of the Arbor Mist cow.
Great length of body on this guy. He is smooth from head to tail and his pedigree predicts he will be an easy calver.
This moderate made bull carries a massive hind quarter. His dam is a favorite of mine, raising top end cattle with calving ease.
It was sure nice to see 2024 end. What a shit year. Here’s to 2025 being better. That being said I would like to thank my parents (Nester/Shirley Kyluik) for doing my chores and calving while I am away welding in the oil patch. And I would like to thank that swell fellar from Lonesome Willows Simmentals (Walter Malysh). I would like to welcome you to the 2025 Transcon Advantage sale. This year I have a great mixture of horned and polled genetics along with calving ease and some power bulls.
Please feel free to contact me for more info on bulls or to view them before sale day. Thanks, Derrick

This was a twin that was rejected by his mother and was adopted by a heifer that lost her calf 4 days before this guy being born. And did that heifer do a bang out job on him. His twin sister was an impeccable calf as well but tests confirmed that she was no good. This guy here has great color and a very well-balanced body with great temperament.

I am very excited to have been asked to consign to this years Advantage bull sale! The culling practices are hard in our operation and we only have 3 bulls on offer this spring. These bulls are definitely bulls I would use in my own herd, sound, stout, meaty and structurally correct. The attitudes are very good and they have been grown out properly, not fat just ready to get to work.
I look forward to answering any questions and thanks for taking them time to check them out. It’s a great time to be in the business and pounds pay is a statement that has never meant so much!
A nicely made Caliber son out of a very nice Red Rock female. This fella is larger framed and will surely add extra pounds to his calf crop come fall. 47E has an excellent udder and maintains herself with ease.
This is the last of our Connect X Red Magic embryos and what a nice way to end it! Dark cherry red, wide topped clean fronted and just a really solid, stout and sound made bull. He is a full sib to last years 2 year old Black Magic, that walks for X-T. This guy is just a mid February born please note. Excellent breeding piece to improve the females in your herd, or to make those desirable stout simmintal males! Buy these genetics with confidence as a few well known breeders have before you.
