Welcome Hello Everyone, Once in a while you will find that life gives you a kick in the pants (or chest, as in my case) and you will have to rearrange your goals and future plans. It wasn’t an easy decision to sell all our cattle that reside here at Pura Vida, but for the immediate and foreseeable future, I will need to avoid the temptation of looking after cattle and all the physical work that taking care of cattle might entail (ie. building fence, putting out salt or just lifting the tailgate, etc.). Anyone who knows me, knows I love cattle and especially Speckle Park cattle! Gayle and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to own, raise, buy and sell purebred Speckle Park cattle over the last 14 years and we are especially proud of the cattle we are offering. We believe we have positively contributed to the genetics in the Speckle Park breed through our selection process. During it all, we have met some amazing producers over the years and we cannot thank the breeders enough who welcomed, mentored and Joe & Gayle Stookey helped us in the early years by leasing us bulls, very good bulls, Box 21, GS 316 RR 3 when our herd size was too small to justify a purchase (you know Saskatoon, SK S7K 3J6 306-229-7499 who you are – thank you). Even in these latter years we recognized joseph.stookey@usask.ca that purchasing a top herd sire required a partnership, thank you www.puravidaacres.com Second Chance Speckle Park and Highmark Speckle Park. With our pooled resources we were in a better position to gain access to some top genetics from the best bulls that we could locate and afford. For example, some of you buyers will get the extra bonus of purchasing a female that may be in calf from River Hill 5C Freedom 805F, a bull we partially own with Carla Ducherer (thank you Carla). All the females were exposed to Freedom from June 24 to July 25, 2019, but with this abbreviated breeding season we cannot guarantee any pregnancies, nor could we preg check with any accuracy with such a short gestation, even if they are bred. We would like to hope you will get a calf from Freedom, but recommend you expose your purchased females for another 30 days breeding if a natural mating suits your plans.

I am sorry we are not having a live auction at our place, but we extend a warm welcome and would love to meet or visit with anyone wanting to see our cattle live prior to the sale. My surgery has not yet been scheduled, but is eminent. So just call T Bar C or call us directly to make arrangements to set up a visit. And if you do find yourself buying any Pura Vida genetics or animals at this sale, please know that we will be interested in hearing of your successes long after this sale and we may stop in for a visit, regardless of where you live! All cattle sales require a multitude of people and their varied talents to pull off a successful sale. This sale was no different and it created some unique aspects due to the circumstances and speed in which it occurred. We could never have done this without a long list of friends, neighbours and specialists who offered help, many without us asking. To all of you mentioned below and to those we may have accidentally overlooked - we are forever grateful. Special thanks to: Chris Poley and his exceptional staff at T Bar C Cattle Co Ltd.; Mark Shologan and crew at DMLS; Clarke, Denise and Josh Ward at Wards Red Angus; the Leading Edge Speckle Park Sale consignors: Harv and Fran Fehr - Highmark Speckle Park, Rob and Janice Harasymchuk – INC Cattle Company, Glen and Barb Zerebeski – Green Hills Livestock; Brad and Wendy Nielson; Dr Colton McAleer, Eagle Creek Veterinary Services; Gordon, Faye and Dean Sanders; Ian, Marilyn and Craig Shirley; Tyler and Christiane Prochera; Bo Washniak; Black Diamond Speckle Park Stud in Australia; and Dr John and Jane Campbell. We whole heartedly (no pun intended), thank all of you for your help, support, friendship and interest in our cattle and wellbeing. To the buyers and cattle producers all over the world and those on Facebook and Twitter, we thank you and hope your grass is always green and plentiful. Best wishes and much future success,
Joe and Gayle Stookey
From the Desk at T Bar
T
his is our welcome and invitation to be a part of the Pura Vida Acres Speckle Park Dispersal. The sale will be held online on July 25th. We apologize for this being of short notice but health reasons (open heart surgery) has forced the immediate sale of the herd. The herd name “Pura Vida” stands for “The Pure/Good Life”, a reflection that Joe and Gayle Stookey have enjoyed since 2005 when they chose to raise Speckle Park, since the early beginnings of the breed. Over the past decade plus, Joe and Gayle have built a small, elite herd on the basic idea of “quality rather than quantity,” resulting in a small, high quality Speckle Park herd. Although dispersals have a note of sadness, they are windows of opportunity, as you can select from the top and the entire herd. As we all know, it is difficult to purchase cow/calf pairs in the Speckle Park breed and we all know what they cost as calves in a sale ring. On July 25th you have the opportunity to sit at your computer and select a part of the Pura Vida program. You will do the Stookey’s a favor, but more importantly, you will do yourself a favor. If we, at T Bar C, may be of assistance, prior to or sale day, please contact any of the T Bar team and we will be pleased to offer our professional services.

“Diamante” is Spanish for “Diamond” and this female is appropriately named. Her excellent udder, nice confirmation and young age ensures that she will be contributing very nice offspring to the Speckle Park herd book for years to come That assessment is based on her current offspring by her side, who sells as part of the pair Lot 1A Pura Vida Guadalupe 123G.

One of our family favourites because of her gentle and calm disposition, she also comes with everything we want in our females: depth, great udder, good feet and confirmation.

PV 31Z When asked to pick the best cows in anyone’s herd, my response is, “Show me the ones with the best calves.” That is the mind set I think of when I think of this cow. Pura Vida Zamora 31Z’s calves have always been at the top of our calf crops and her 2019 daughter, Pura Vida Galaxy 120G (Lot 4A) will also be a top star. The calf may seem like the highlight in this pair, but the buyer will be getting a great package of two with one price.

This cow is a flashback to her dam, Styals Six 16P, who was a cornerstone of our herd, with three of her daughters selling in this sale. Just like her high producing mother, Pura Vida Cordoba 69C consistently weans the heaviest or one of the heaviest calves in the crop. I am guessing her 2019 bull calf, Pura Vida Skip-A-Beat (Lot 5A) will match or exceed his full brother in performance and style.

Not many cows, from any beef breed, can wean a calf over 50% of the cow’s weight. Cordelia did it in 2018 and she will likely do it again in 2019. She milks like a Jersey but her bull calf this year, though unassisted at birth, was just too heavy for our taste to keep for a future bull. However, bred to the right bull, I am confident she can produce future herd sires and certainly good milking females. Please note that this cow only milks on three quarters.

When this cow was a calf, we would not consider selling her at any price. She is still very attractive and obviously an easy fleshing cow with a very nice udder. Another daughter from Styals Six 16P. We especially liked Barcelona’s 2018 bull (see picture below) and feel Pura Vida Heartthrob 119G (Lot 8A) will be as good or better. He is our only River Hill Dignitary calf and it was an easy decision to keep him intact. 2018 Son of 49B

Honestly, the history of selling black Speckle Park bulls has not been great. So, right or wrong, probably wrong, we banded her 2019 bull calf early. However, our decision shouldn’t detract from the fact that this is a very productive and correct female. Bolivia 55B has a well-shaped udder, very good confirmation and she has consistently produced exceptional calves for us. In our minds, she was a candidate for future flushing to a white bull, unfortunately, that dream has hit a hard wall of reality.

In our world, good winter green feed and plenty of summer grass yields fat Speckle Park cattle! We won’t apologize for the fact she is easy fleshing and frankly, we love her thickness, confirmation and her udder. Flushed to a white bull, this cow could be the proverbial “golden goose”. She sells along with her fancy 2019 bull calf, Pura Vida Brave Heart 103G (Lot 10A). We will anxiously watch the herd book to see future progeny from both of this pair.

We make a big deal about udder shape, but this cow has not read the manual! Instead she just cranks out one good calf after another and provides them with more milk than two cows could do with average udders. Does that make her a good cow?

This cow packs the meat and passes it onto her offspring. She milks hard and has raised some very fancy calves for us. We banded her bull calf early, thinking he carried just too much muscle for his own good. I know, we are just too traditional. However, if you breed this cow to the right bull, I think she can produce some show stoppers. Pasture exposed to River Hill 5C Freedom 805F from June 14 to July 25, 2019.

She is the current matriarch of our herd and just writing something about her brings tears to my eyes. She has been covered by more bulls than Baskin Robbins has flavours and yet I have liked every one of her calves, many of them were my favourites in the calf crop. River Hill bought one of her bred heifers at Agribition in 2012 and she has performed well enough for them to put her in their flush program. Have you heard of the $60,000, River Hill Crusader bull? Check his pedigree! Bottom line, I love this cow and if longevity and productivity mean anything, let’s get this girl flushed before it is too late. LOT

A River Hill Traffic Jam daughter who likely slipped a calf and rebred late during the winter, when we ran the bull with the “pregnant cows” for winter keeping. She is confirmed in calf, approximately 4-6 months. She is a big girl, but correct and can bring some extra length and growth to anyone looking to bump up their frame sizes. Please note this cow has a small amount of scar tissue on her jaw. Bred to River Hill 54Z Die-Hard 35D. Preg checked on July 2, 2019 and confirmed in calf, approximately 4-6 months.

90 lbs. We bought this heifer at the 2019 Supreme Sale. We thought she had the capacity and size to become a productive cow that would fit in well with our herd and goals. I like her calm disposition and the ease in which she has adjusted to our management style of just hay or green feed in winter and grass in summer!
