New Holland Tractor and Round Baler Combo Rental 150 Hours New Holland T6.175 Tractor The New Holland T6.175 tractors are a natural choice for many operations, since they can easily master multiple applications including haymaking, loader work or row-crop field work. These tractors come standard with the spacious, ultra-quiet Horizon cab that helps you achieve superior performance in superior comfort. The Comfort RideTM cab suspension provides the absolute smoothest ride over even the bumpiest terrain. All this is achieved by combining two isolation "donuts" and a swaybar and two shock absorbers to isolate you from up-down and side-to-side motions. The deluxe air ride seat with heated cushions and lowfrequency air suspension provides additional shock absorption as well as heat for added comfortable in all conditions. The T6.175 is powered by a powerful, clean-running 6-cylinder engine that uses ECOBlueTM SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) and engine power management. The ECOBlueTM SCR technology ensures that this tractor meets the current TierIV emissions requirements. The electronic power management develops more power and torque according to the actual load on the transmission, hydraulics and PTO to make sure you have the power you need when you need it. The 16x16 transmission provides push-button power shifting through four gears of each of the four ranges, plus a clutch free shift between first and second range and third and fourth range. The added convenience of AutoShift allows you to program the transmission to do the shifting for you within the three lower ranges while in the field and within the top two ranges during road transport. The closed center load sensing hydraulics provide up to 26.5 gpm flow to the rear remotes to handle intensive hydraulic tasks. The electronic rear remotes are fully programmable and allow you to control the flow rate and program the timing of each valve right from your tractor seat. The rear three-point hitch can lift up to 13,708 lbs, more than enough for those heavy three-point implements. The soft start 540/1000 PTO with the rear mounted fender switches make it easy to operate the PTO from the cab or the ground. New Holland BR7090 Round Baler When it comes to difficult crop conditions, the New Holland BR7090 Specialty Crop round baler excels at making consistently dense and well-shaped bales. The exclusive Roll-Belt™ design ensures that you will have easy core starts and uniform bales every time. The combination of steel forming rolls and tough Mini Rough Top (MRT) belts provides a proven system that packs the densest bales in the industry. The sealed, adjustable density control system consistently builds pressure to make the desirable bale in any crop. Superior density equals fewer bales to be handled, stacked and transported leading to savings in time and money—maximizing efficiency in the operation. Whether it’s corn stalks, straw, or heavy grass windrows, the Specialty Crop has the right options to surpass competitors. The 82 inch wide XtraSweep™ pickup has an additional tine bar that boosts the tine count to 160—the most of any New Holland pickup. The XtraSweep also features an adjustable roller wind guard to maximize the pickup in peak productivity and prevent plugging. Standard pickup flares guide windrows into the rubber mounted tines that increase performance in heavy windrows. In crops that produce excess debris, a trash baffle cleans the net applicator during each cycle and an expeller roll at the rear of the baler prevents debris from building up inside the chamber.

His sire, Wallbanger has been one of the most impressive young sires in the breed and The Godfather is one of his most complete and exciting sons to date.

Smooth Polled Full Fleckvieh. Sunny Valley Dakota 9Z was the highest selling fullblood bull at Sunny Valley's 2013 bull sale. Dakota 9Z hit the ground at just 86 lbs, and weaned off his two year old mother at 900 lbs and continued to develop into a stout, smooth made bull with a big top and a lot of muscle shape. 9Z is clean in his lines, gets out and moves on a big solid foot. Dakota 9Z was mothered by an awesome young cow with a tremendous future, who has arguably the best udder on the place. With Viper now deceased, these genetics are hard to come by. Dakota 9Z is smooth polled but has the thickness and performance of a horned bull. Here is a bull that we feel has a lot to offer to the industry.

Adding to her natural talents she chose to improve on her skills by attending Georgian College, in Barrie, Ontario. She has taken advantage of all opportunities to participate in art and photography shows. Another interest of Kaitlyn is her farm in Grey County, born and raised a farm girl, she enjoys working with the beef animals. You have to know your animal and the industry to be a photographer of cattle. Taking an image of cattle takes a great deal of patience some times waiting for hours, or a split second to know you have the image, she is critical of her own work and strives for perfection.

Garth Sweet Simmental Foundation The Garth Sweet Simmental Foundation (GSSF) is a Canadian registered charity that was formed as a result of a tremendous show of generosity from Mrs. Judy Sweet in memory of her late husband, Garth Sweet. When Mrs. Sweet made the original bequest to the Canadian Simmental Association (CSA) and the GSSF was formed in 2007, it was identified that the funds were to be used for research and development in the beef industry with a primary focus on genetic improvement. It was later decided to also incorporate the CSA scholarship and Young Canadian Simmental programs under the GSSF structure. Research and Development – The GSSF is actively engaged in supporting research to benefit the agriculture industry in Canada. A current project is underway in partnership with the CSA and various industry partners. This work is focused on improving the Canadian beef industry by enhancing production efficiency, product quality and profitability. Scholarships - The GSSF administers scholarships for youth who are involved in Canadian agriculture. Assisting in the development of youth with a focus on advancing their understanding of agriculture is a very important component of the GSSF. Youth Development - The GSSF supports youth programs such as the Young Canadian Simmental Association (YCSA). The YCSA is one of the most progressive and dynamic agricultural youth organizations in Canada. It is open to anyone 25 years and under who then have the opportunity to participate in various activities across Canada. YCSA members learn important skills including public speaking, marketing and communications which develop strong and dynamic leaders for not only our industry, but society as a whole. To allow the GSSF to continue its work, we will be holding the 7th annual GSSF Auction fundraiser in conjunction with this year’s CSA Annual General Meeting, July 16th, 2013 in Calgary, AB. Thank you to the donors, bidders and buyers of the GSSF Auctions. It is because of their generous support this auction is such a success.
