O'Shea Farms 2021 Tag Sale Catalogue

VINTAGE HEREFORDS

A sale of “firsts” Welcome to our first Tag Sale! For the past several years we have been selling females in the spring from the farm privately and we thought this year we would do a bit more to showcase what we have available as well as offer a larger number of animals using the tag sale format. The sale features the first calf crop from our herd sire McCoy Z426 Monarch 20F who is owned with the Larmer family, Vintage Herefords. It is worth noting that I bought my first Hereford heifer in the spring of 1993 from Katelyn Larmer’s dad, Earl McEachren of EJM Farms at Glencoe. I was also able to buy the first animal in the ring at their herd dispersal sale in 2011, that heifer went on to be first in class at the Royal and named senior heifer calf champion. The Vintage Herefords herd while smaller in size, is built on foundation cow families from the EJM herd and the years of dedication that the McEachren family invested in the breed. We are happy to also offer their heifers that have been wintered with our herd.

Our Program is based on cattle that are practical, have eye appeal and with the use of many tools available, we back this up with full performance evaluation. Since our beginnings of selecting animals for 4-H heifers, over time our focus has shifted to producing bulls that are accepted and used in the real world.

We feel that everything else falls into place if we are raising bulls that meet those needs. Over the years our herd, along with the Hereford breed, has improved upon carcass traits, teat and udder size. We have lowered birthweights, and maintained growth, all while staying true to what the Hereford breed is traditionally known for: hardiness, docility, maternal ability and fleshing ability that leads to real profitability!

For the past 10 years we have been offering some of our top bull prospects at the Beck McCoy Bull Sale in Saskatchewan. We are fortunate to have that partnership and have enjoyed watching our bulls be accepted and used in many modern progressive commercial herds. For the first time, this year we have reserved a few bulls to be offered in this sale.

The animals on offer are not managed any differently than the rest of the herd, they have been raised as though we are keeping every animal for ourselves. The heifers have been developed and are in ideal condition as they are cycling and ready to breed. The cows are on a simple feeding program of grass hay and mineral. While the 2 year old females are penned separately to get second cut hay. We don’t trim feet - any poorly footed animals are culled along with open females not calving within our targeted 60 day calving period.

We are excited to share our program with you, and we look forward to having the opportunity to give you a personal tour at your convenience. We want to be a partner in your operation and help you achieve your own herd goals, by understanding your needs. We invest a lot of time and effort into our breeding decisions and are very proud of our program. We strongly believe that there is something here for everyone - regardless of your budget - regardless of if you run a purebred or commercial herd. We hope you accept this as your personal invitation to come see our offering and to be part of our first Tag Sale!

Monarch was selected from McCoy Cattle Company where he stood out after being raised by a 2-year-old female that has earned a spot with high regard. The Excede females in production excel in udder quality and teat size. We expect Monarch to do the same while improving carcass merit and maintaining an impressive growth curve from birth to yearling while being consistent in type. Recently his first son offered for sale (OSF 2212H) sold for $9000 in the Beck McCoy bull sale. Owned with Vintage Herefords, Oulton’s Farm and McCoy Cattle Company.

Hawaii comes from an impressive cow family that traces back to a full sister to McCoy 33K. Her beautiful uddered dam has also produced herd favourite OSF 128E (check out her udder and herd bull prospect) and in the 2-year-old pen OSF 322G who was recently featured on the cover of Ontario Beef magazine and has a top Monarch bull calf prospect. When you study the cow family and her EPD’s there is really good value in this growthy Monarch female!

There is a reason a good portion of our herd goes back to 7H’s dam – longevity. This family makes excellent long sided, deep bodied mamas that raise calves we think would work in anyone’s herd. Heather is another outstanding female out of ZMN 108X. She’s a deep, dark, thick-made heifer that stood out from the day she hit the ground. Our son & daughter showed her maternal sister KBMC 2G as a calf and we were disappointed we didn’t have the chance to take her out as a yearling – we know she would have held her own in the ring.

His gorgeous and powerful dam is offered as Lot 16. There are a lot of good cows in his pedigree, he should sire calves with shape and some females worth retaining. Passed semen testing on March 21.

Here is a good example of what we strive to produce and look for in a bull! Frontenac has a really good foot with lots of size, he has bone and muscle shape, he is long and great hair coat, excellent testicle shape and size, he is pigmented and has a really good dam (pictured on front cover) that we purchased from the excellent Phantom Creek Livestock herd in Saskatchewan. Study his EPD’s, because he ranks in the top 1% for SC, top 10% for WW, YW, PWG and REA. Top 15% for Fat, Top 30% for TM, FMI and Udder suspension. We have used Frontenac as a clean up bull the past 2 years and I’m kicking myself that we didn’t use him more. We plan to breed a bunch to him this spring, as a result of wanting to use Frontenac we are offering him with possession to start JUNE 15 2021. This bull would work well in a lot of herds to make beautiful females and sale topping feeder calves!
