Lust Farms 5th Annual Red Angus Bull Sale

RED ANGUS BULL SALE

MONDAY, MARCH 6, 2023 | SALE AT 2:00 PM AT THE RANCH, CYPRESS COUNTY, ALBERTA

Join us for lunch prior to the sale

Please consider this your personal invitation to our 5th Annual Bull Sale. Getting to know our customers is a highlight of our business. Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your operation.

This year’s offering includes the top end of our 2 year old bull pen. Our program is focused on raising functional cattle that are ready to go out and work for you. Our cattle don’t receive creep feed so the weights you see are reflective of their genetic ability to grow on their mother’s milk and green grass alone. Our aim is to have a herd of productive cows who calve unassisted, are structurally correct, and can thrive in a variety of conditions. The cow herd and bulls are on a full herd health program. The bulls are up to date with Bovishield Gold and Covexin Plus immunizations, as well as the Fusogard foot rot vaccine. Scrotal measurements and updated weights will be available sale day.

We are pleased to welcome back Shane Castle and his crew from Castlerock Marketing to our sales staff. Shane brings a wealth of knowledge about the Angus breed with him. If you’d like a second opinion about the bulls in the offering, give Shane a call and he’d be happy to give you a hand. Shane and Mark will also be available sale day if you can’t make the sale and need someone to represent you.

Sarah Hasson from Golden Thread Livestock Photography pictured and videoed the bulls on December 15, 2022. The videos will be available for viewing before the sale on DV Auction as well as on our website. DV Auction will also be onsite sale day hosting the video sale and accepting online bids.

Last year many people came out to the farm in the weeks prior to sale day to visit and view our offering. We encourage this as it allows you time to appraise all aspects of our operation in a low pressure environment. Give us a call, we look forward to finding your next herdsire!

CALVING EASE LEVELS

We are often asked which bull will work on heifers so we have implemented a scale based on the bull’s BW, his physical characteristics and his dam’s past calving history. This is only a guideline and you must take into account your herd and the size of your heifers at calving.

1 Recommended for mature cows only, not recommended for heifers

2 Recommended for use on mature cows or larger framed heifers

3 Recommended for heifers, should be easy calving with minimal assistance required

4 Recommended as a sleep easy heifer bull

WelcometotheLustFarmsBullSale!

The Perlich family and staff are proud to conduct the Lust Farms Angus Bull sale for another year.

The Lust family puts a lot of effort into their herd and has done so for four generations. This family has been committed to the ranching tradition since 1944 and the quality of their bulls represents this commitment.

We have only had positive feedback from producers who purchased Lust Farms bulls. They have a strong reputation for productivity, performance, good health & temperament.

We look forward to working with them to provide you with top quality bulls at this year’s sale.

Respectfully,

WelcomefromCastlerock!

It is of great pleasure and excitement to be working with Lust Farms again this year in marketing this exciting set of Two Year old bulls. This lineup of bulls, as to be expected, comes with a herd that has been developed over the years developing itself to handle the conditions that SE Alberta and SW Saskatchewan tends to throw its way. Big country cattle are definitely a tougher kind designed to cover a lot of ground to graze and seek a water source. What a gem the Angus cow has proven itself over the last years in holding her condition, breeding and raising a good calf, the cow business certainly doesn’t have to be difficult.

With those qualities ,added in with a development program on these bulls to bring them along in a manner in which soundness and athleticism comes right to the front, gives you the customer a tremendous value added product.

All the information on the offering is available from performance stats to the EPD’s. It’s all above board at Lust Farms with intentions of enhancing your valuable purchases.

Should you have any questions feel welcome to give us a call in regards to this excellent set of Red Angus bulls. See you sale day!

SIX

SIX MILE SMOKIN GUN 133Y

CUT 209C

Before Marta 807 became a flush cow at Six Mile, we purchased Upper Cut as a natural son. Little did we know the impact Marta would have on the Red Angus breed and how fortunate we were to bring Upper Cut home that day. Upper Cut’s given us over 100 purebred calves, leaving us many retained daughters and bull sale features. This is the last group of Upper Cut sons to sell.

Redemption was purchased in 2017 from Jade & Don Mackenzie of V8U Ranch as the 2nd high seller that day. He checked a lot of boxes for us - a desirable birth weight, great performance numbers, born out of a proven dam, and eye appeal to spare! We’ve used Redemption heavily and are so impressed with the progeny he’s leaving us.

109F

Fonzie came to us out of the Lauron program in 2019. We were looking for an easy calving heifer bull with that extra punch of growth. Fonzie weaned off his 7 year old dam at 700 pounds and gained over 4 pounds/day on feed. Watch for many great ones out of this sire!

OUR HERD SIRES

58F

Firecracker is an easy fleshing Tradin Right son we purchased in 2019. The high seller that day, he’s the spitting image of his sire who we really admired from the V8U program. Firecracker indexed #1 with his impressive 735 pound weaning weight and he passes that exceptional growth along to his progeny.

It’s a great test to keep a home raised bull for yourself and put him up against the purchased sires. Falcon has held his own with the best of them. He adds a lot of shape and capacity to his calves all while maintaining the traditional Angus look.

BADGER 529G

We stepped outside of our budget a bit when we bought Badger as the lead off bull from Six Mile in 2020. But we couldn’t be happier with the results. Badger adds so much to the bull pen with calves that have added shape and bone. His dam is also ELITE which only adds to Badger’s future as a great herd sire!

Performance Information:

BW…Actual weight at birth 205d…205 Day Adjusted Weight WI...Weaning Weight as a % of the average WW of the contemporary group

EPDs:

The EPDs you’ll find in the catalogue are generated through the CAA AngusONE genetic evaluations, and are predicted breeding values that allow for fair comparison of animals across herds, regardless of environment and management differences. They are expectations of how an animal’s progeny will perform, on average, for specific economically relevant traits. AngusONE EPDs are comparable to all Angus cattle, both red and black in Canada, and US Black Angus cattle.

Calving Ease Direct (CE) EPD describes the percentage of expected unassisted births when a bull is exposed to first-time heifers. The higher the number, the higher the probability that first-time heifers bred to the bull in question will calve with no assistance. The EPD predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire's calves will be born when he is bred to first calf heifers.

Birth Weight EPD (BW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected progeny weight, on average. A bull with a BW EPD of +4 will, on average, sire calves that are 2 pounds heavier than a bull with a BW EPD of +2 (given equal management).

Weaning Weight EPD (WW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected weaning weight in progeny, on average. WW EPD is a predictor of a sire's ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. A bull with a WW EPD of +50 will sire calves that are, on average, 20 pounds heavier at weaning than a sire with a WW EPD of +30 (given equal management).

Yearling Weight EPD (YW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected yearling weight in progeny, on average. YW EPD is a predictor of a sire's ability to transmit post weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. A bull with a YW EPD of +100 will sire calves that are, on average, 30 pounds heavier at weaning than a sire with a WW EPD of +70 (given equal management).

Calving Ease Maternal (MCE) EPD describes the probability of not requiring assistance when a bull’s daughters calve for the first time. The higher the EPD, the higher the probability that a bull’s daughters will not require assistance at calving time.

Milk EPD (MILK) describes, in pounds, the portion of a calf's weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability. On average, daughters from a bull with a Milk EPD of +20 will contribute 5 pounds more to their calves’ weaning weight than the daughters of a bull with Milk EPD of +15. Milk EPD is a threshold trait that should be maintained at a moderate level dependent on the management and environment of the herd.

The AngusONE EPD breed averages for calves born in 2021 are as follows:
