From the desk at T Bar... Welcome to the lucky 13th edition of the North East Source Bull Sale. Rarely do breeders get the opportunity to fulfill their herd sire needs at one location, on one given day. Throughout the past thirteen years, I have been pleased to assist these leading breeders in the marketing of their high quality product. The “North East Source” is truly the source of value-added herd improvers, offering the best of high maternal strength, combined with the best of continental performance. As we enjoy the rewards of the past year or so, we must look forward to the opportunities that lie before us...rebuilding our cow herds will require both time and genetic management. High maternal values come to the forefront when we think of building more numbers...but we must always keep in mind, that a good calf is a live calf. No other breed fits this scenario better than the Angus breed...great mother cows...fertile, high milk with low maintenance and calving ease. In this period of reward, nothing bodes better than performance...pound of calf at weaning. The reward gives established breeders an opportunity to rebuild and retain those daughters out of good cows; rather than worrying about your banker, who now thinks you are smarter than several years ago. In the next decade, the two watch phrases will be “pounds of beef produced and high maternal values.” The sale founder, Alvin Ginter, has been supplying the industry with high quality, easy calving, maternal bulls for over three decades...his success is based on a powerful cow herd and a repeat customer base. Barry Hall and his family have produced Continental and Angus cattle that have been used and accepted throughout North America. Brian Temple has built one of the best Charolais breeding herds in Northeast Saskatchewan. It is this combination of dedicated breeders that establish the quality of the North East Source. If you are serious about the cattle industry, the first Saturday in April is an important day in your program. One-stop shopping is rare in the bull business in North East Saskatchewan, let alone in Western Canada. Red and Black Angus, Charolais, Simmental and Maine Anjou will give you comparison, selection and opportunity. If we, at T Bar C, may be of any assistance, prior to or sale day, feel free to give Shane, Ted or myself a call. See you at Bruce’s, Tisdale, SK Chris Poley
