– 35 Two’s - 40 Yearlings – see page 6 Our passion is the commercial cattle industry... We just returned from several cattle events, where we displayed our genetics live. It seems when everyone is going one way, we’re not scared to set our own course. “Swimming Up Stream” is in our blood. Our genetics displayed exactly what we’re about... moderate frame, more body, more thickness, retained performance and more convenience. It really is all about “more grass and less diesel.” The bulls have been out on grass until this darn snow forced us to bring them in. The uniformity is better, the numbers are up and our cows will graze most of the winter... even with the snow some things are still easy. We’re really excited about what we do. If you’re sitting on the fence wondering “what to do”... join the excitement of our program. Phone us, email us, send us the clip & mail or better yet, just come and take a look. Bill Creech... “Bill The Bull Guy”

A Word from Bill...
A big welcome to everyone involved in agriculture and to everyone that is now thinking they need to be involved in agriculture. Our industry has rebounded to profitability which is great. A few bumps along the trail, like this fall can’t derail us now as we head to even better times ahead. Canada’s cow herd will be a major supplier to all of North America as rebuilding begins next year. We may lose a few producers now as prices are better, but many are now larger and have their sights set on moderate, easy fleshing cattle that know how to work for them rather than be pampered welfare case cows... our genetics fit right into this mold. Our excitement for our business comes from the great people we are privileged to meet and do business with every year. We listen to what our customers ideas and goals are and have molded our cattle to what you have asked for, moderate, easy fleshing and low maintenance. The search for genetic improvement never ends at our ranch and our co-operators ranches. We constantly infuse new genetics from within our herd, A.I. and purchases from fellow breeders. We do measure and record our progress every year, but in our world... no one gives us banners, ribbons or fancy pictures for cows that graze all winter long, rebreed and calve on their own, then are ready to start all over. All this with minimal human intervention or assistance. We do pride ourselves on how little diesel we burn, how long we graze, and how uniform the entire calf crop is. In the end our customers are the big winners. When your thinking of your future and charting your course, consider our program and become a part of our excitement, you’ll be darn glad that you did. We’ve had the same address since 1904 and the next generation is getting ready to step up. We really are here for the long pull to serve and supply our customers with genetics that know how to deliver in the commercial industry. Sherry and I and the kids would personally like to invite you to call, email, or use the clip and mail to discuss bulls, cows and our future together in the cattle industry. Bill & Sherry

More Value Than Ever

We have established a program to develop these young bulls here at Hill 70 Quantock to better serve our customers. We will keep the bulls at home after the sale and feed them until early April on a total mixed ration to gain about 2-1/2 lbs./day. We will then independently semen test them and deliver them to central points throughout Western Canada. Delivery will be from about early April to early May. The price for this service is $100 for yearlings and $130 for two’s payable at sale time. It’s a real value as it includes 75 days board, independent semen test, and central point delivery. Insurance will be on site to insure all bull purchases.
