Welcome to our Annual Bull Sale. This is a great time for the Charolais breed. Calf prices are high and there’s an even larger demand for Charolais –cross cattle in the sale ring. Why should you buy your next herdsire from A. Sparrow Farms? Our cowherd is in its prime. We are most proud of our females for their feet, udder type and easy-doing ability. They are performance cows and the “base” of A. Sparrow Farms. You can view the mothers before or on sale day. You won’t be disappointed. Our bull power is just as strong. We have found bulls that can give us efficient birthweights and still offer tons of performance. We also have bulls that aren’t used anywhere but in our herd….exclusive genetics! Our herd sires are replicas for what we are looking for in our bulls….hair, sound structure and temperament are all factors along with things that you can only measure in time like calving ease and vigor. These things are all monitored carefully because if it doesn’t work for us, it won’t work for you. This years’ offering of bulls is easily the most consistent and uniform group to date. They are certainly a reflection of our more than forty years of breeding Charolais cattle. Please come early for lunch and plan to stay afterward for socializing and a barbeque. It would be our pleasure to provide you with some hospitality! See you on March 9th! Cam & Emma

The Reference Sires... LANZA
Lanza

Turning into a legend, Lanza started off as a bull that we purchased to clean up on our cowherd to becoming one of our top herdsires. We purchased him in 2008 from WinnMan Charolais. Later, we sold an interest of him to Lindskov –Thiel Ranch in South Dakota. We have used him as our main heifer bull for the last three years. You’ll note in this sale offering that the Lanza progeny offer a lot of perfornmance! There’s not too many bulls that can offering calving ease and performace! Top that off with thick, curly hair, large scrotal and sound feet….the Lanza’s have a lot to offer! To date, we are very pleased with the Lanza daughters and they continue to impress us in the mothering department!
NUEvO When we found Latoro in the Montana mountians over eleven years ago, Latoro became one of our best herd bulls that have ever walked our pastures. After he passed away we decided to look for another “Latoro” and new genetics. We found Nuevo. Nuevo came from Cobb’s 2008 spring bull sale; his mom at the age of twelve was still in production. Nuevo gives bull calves a thick, curly coat, large testicle size and high performance. Nuevo
BIRMINGhAM
Birmingham
For years you’ve heard us rave about the Latoro influence. Without any doubt, Latoro has made the greatest impact in our breeding program. We are very pleased with our newest addition…the polled son, Birmingham. The Birmingham bull is extremely easy doing and always looks amazing. He offers the Latoro performance while is proving to be an easy-calving, moderate birth weight bull. We are really looking forward to his daughters coming into production. We have some pretty big expectations!
PANAMA Our second high seller from our 2009 bull sale to Beck Farms is another bull we are breeding to Panama. We flew to Australia in 2006 to find new genetics and came home with sire Lopez. Lopez genetics add a lot of natural thickness, easy doing and ruggedness we like to see in our bulls. Panama was the son we felt had all this and had the power of one of our best cow families. The mother is a perfectly uddered female which we hope will make Panama daughters that much better. Panama

2011 Reflections...
CML Diablo: Raised by McLeod Livestock. Diablo was sired by Sparrows Sanchez and was named 2012 Champion Bull at Denver Stock Show.
CML Encore 4Y: Raised by McLeod Livestock. Encore is another Sanchez son and was named Champion Bull 2012 at Fort Worth Stock Show.
Congratulations to Cornerview Charolais, Ontario who captured both National Champion Female and Reserve National Champion Bull with progeny sired by Sparrows Coach.
Sparrows Hombre 355X, a Sparrows Eldorado daughter, was Junior National Champion Female at the Youth show held in Saskatoon in July of 2011. Shown by Josie Sparrow.
Our 2011 steers (four on the right) excelled at the Regional 4-H show! All our 4-H steers were out of Sparrow bulls and were raised by Steve Harty – Bar Crossroads Ranch, Edam, SK.
Sparrows Landmark: Purchased in 2009 by Horseshoe E, Voegeli/Serhienko and Martens Charolais. Landmark definitely caused a huge buzz in the Agribition barns! His progeny topped most of their classes and went on the dominate the championship divisions.
