Bull Development: The bulls have been developed on a corn silage based TMR growing ration again this year. We have been very pleased with the results of this feeding program over the last few years. We believe the bulls are developed to their genetic potential for growth, however do not lay down excess fat. We have been very satisfied with the health of the bulls on this ration and how they hold their condition throughout breeding season. These bulls are bred to perform and fed to last. Current weights and scrotal measurements will be available on the bulls on sale day.
Delivery: Bulls can be taken home immediately following the sale, or left with us free of charge until May 1, 2018 and delivered by us at shared cost. Bulls can be kept after May 1st at a cost of $100 per month at the purchasers own risk.
Buyers Unable to Attend the Sale – Sight Unseen Purchase Plan: Simplify your selection process by giving us a call today. You know what you want in your breeding animals, we know the best potential of the bulls selling and will easily be able to satisfy your specific needs. Contact Scott, Ryan or any one of our capable sales representatives to discuss the sale cattle.
All bulls will be scrotal measured and semen evaluated by a licensed veterinarian prior to the sale.
Fellow Cattle Enthusiasts, The Nesbitt family takes great pride in welcoming you to Cedardale Farms on April 21st. This sale will be our 15th consecutive bull sale on the farm. We are extremely proud to be one of Ontario’s largest registered Charolais cow operations as well as one of the longest running Charolais bull sales in Ontario. The opportunity to work closely with our commercial cow-calf customer gives us insight into the kind of cattle that are functional and profitable in the real world. Our customers’ calves continue to top feeder and finished cattle markets week in and week out. We are very proud of your hard work and dedication; congratulations! Extremes seem to be the “new normal” across North America in regard to the weather that we receive each season. From the drought here in Central Ontario throughout the summer of 2016 mother nature switched gears for 2017 and dealt us a spring, summer and fall with record rainfall and cooler temperatures. The beauty of a good, functional beef cow is that they can, and will adapt and persevere through almost anything that mother nature sends their way. Making high quality hay was a challenge to say the least however, the pasture conditions were fantastic which allowed us to graze later into the fall than usual. Feeder calves traded at higher values throughout the fall in comparison to 2016 and this trend is continuing and strengthening as we write this. The Charolais and Charolais cross feeder calf continues to be the most soughtafter feeder calf at the market and for a very good reason. Cattle feeders enjoy more profitability feeding Charolais calves. The reality is “identifiable” and “high quality” Charolais calves command up to and beyond $20/cwt more then other calves at the market. Ensure the Charolais bulls you select are not “just” Charolais bulls but high quality bulls from a breeding program whose goals align with your own. We think that you will be very impressed with the quality and consistency in our bull pen this year. You will notice that there are a lot of half and threequarter brothers that exemplify the traits our customers have told us are important to the success of their cattle operations. Polled, vigorous, calving ease bulls with a lot of muscle and performance are all traits that we put considerable emphasis on. All the bulls in the sale are polled with many of them being second and third generation polled bulls. There are many bulls suitable for first calf heifers, in our opinion, as well as a very strong offering of high performance bulls that will calve easy and provide that extra pay weight at weaning.
Once again, this year the sale will be a video sale with bidding available online by LiveAuctions.TV, Jessy Milne-Smith. As always, the bulls will be on display at the farm. Come early for lunch and view the bulls as they won’t be coming through the sale ring. We will be videoing the bulls in mid March. We encourage you to have a look at our website; www.cedardalefarms.ca, to view the videos of the bulls. This offers you a more in-depth and dynamic opportunity to view the sale offering. There will also be a direct link through the Charolais Banner website; www.charolaisbanner.com, and LiveAuctions; www.LiveAuctions.TV. If you have any trouble finding the videos at any of these websites please contact us for assistance. As always we encourage you to give us a call to discuss the bulls and if at all possible stop by the farm to visit with us and see the bulls in person. We appreciate each and every one of you, our fellow cattlemen, and we will continue to work hard to earn your trust, respect, and future business with good cattle and good service. Please consider this sale offering with confidence, knowing that the Nesbitt family stands ready to be of assistance before the sale and, more importantly, after the sale. We value the many friendships that have resulted from our involvement in the beef industry and we look forward to the opportunity to expand those through this event. We invite you to join us April 21 for the sale, some hospitality and a chance to visit with many area cattle producers. It is certainly our pleasure to be your host. We sincerely thank all past buyers and bidders for your continued support; it is truly appreciated! If we can be of further assistance please don’t hesitate to call on us. Looking forward to seeing you on sale day:
The Nesbitt Family

Birth Weight Information Calving ease is related to the birth weight of a bull. Other factors related to the cow such as size, nutrition, gestation, and calf shape also play key roles in calving ease. The cow is involved in more than 50% of the calf. The birthweight of these bulls are a reflection of our larger size cowherd. On average our cow size will be larger, which in turn will amount to more birth weight on larger cows. Smaller cows will result in lighter birthweights. EPD’s for birth weight accompany each lot. Horned – Scurred – Polled….. Horned: An animal with a horn growth affixed to the skull that has or has not been removed. Scurred: An animal with rudimentary horn growth that will not develop into a horn. Scurs are the result of an independent gene unrelated to either the horned or polled gene. Polled: An animal with absence of horn growth. (An animal can have scurs and still be genetically polled.) Double Polled: An animal whose sire and dam are both genetically polled animals themselves.
Purchaser’s Risk: Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as sold. Animals will be cared for at the purchaser’s risk for a reasonable length of time. Insurance: We strongly recommend that all buyers insure their purchases. Any buyers that leave their bulls at Cedardale farms for any period of time following the sale are aware that they assume all risk with their purchases.
