From all of us at Mitchell Cattle we welcome you to our 18th Annual Best Bet Bull Sale!

From all of us at Mitchell Cattle we welcome you to our 18th Annual Best Bet Bull Sale!

It is hard to say that it hasn’t been another very good year in the cattle business. Looking back on my notes from last year I had thought the prices were near peaking, but we moved some big bulls to town today and 2400 lb bulls brought $2.60 per pound -$6300 each, I didn’t think I would ever see that day. It is good to see everyone getting paid well in return for their hard work.

With calving season winding down for us and gearing up for our bull sale it gives us a moment to reflect on the 50 plus years in the bull business and a moment to assess our direction and the sires that we are using. We source bulls from across the country searching for functional cattle from productive cow families. We have been “fine tuning” our cowherd to concentrate on soundness, productivity and carcass merit for our meat program. On the maternal side we find it very important to pay attention to udder quality, maternal calving ease and longevity. They are not here because of how highly promoted they are or for what we have paid for them. The bulls are raised in conditions that they will be expected to work in, they travel a very long circuit from May until October up to 50 km from home and 5500 feet in elevation. We will not see many of them for months at a time, the calves grow on forage and mothers’ milk, not creep feed. None of the animals here have had their feet trimmed.

We are very happy with our bull pen this year, we believe that this is the most consistent, sound pen of bulls that we have raised. There are many large sire groups if you are looking to put together an even set of bulls or to assess sire productivity and consistency. There are many calving ease oriented angus heifer bulls, the largest group of red Simmentals that we have raised and the black bulls are strong from end to end, The bulls are not “over finished” – we save that for the meat program – they are fit and ready to go to breed cows. The bulls are a month younger than most other sales and have been on feed from the end of October as opposed to the end of August, all the bulls are grown on a TMR ration to ensure their longevity and soundness.

Everyone is involved here, Thompson and Anja have been doing night shifts for calving and Leanna processes calves through the barn, tagging and weighing. I am thankful Leanna has taken on most of the catalogue; she knows every cow and is without sentimental attachment when choosing which ones stay or go. She carries on our thoughts that every cow must take a calf to the range, every year, no exceptions, no free passes.

We are thankful and very much appreciate all our customers and believe that it is extremely important to stand behind our bulls, if there is a problem we appreciate being the first to know. 80% of our bulls sell to repeat customers.

As in the past, we will look after delivering bulls to you, either in your yard or at a convenient spot close to you.

Our thanks to BC Livestock; the crew always does a fantastic job preparing the yards and looking after all our needs in Williams Lake.

If you cannot make it to the sale or would like a little more time and information, the bulls will all be available for viewing at home until April the 2nd, and all day on the 4th in Williams Lake; the coffee is always on. If you wish to have someone do the bidding for you, contact us or the sales staff at BC Livestock. They are familiar with the bulls and would be more than happy to assist you with your sight unseen purchase. Again, we will be having the bulls available for online bidding with DLMS, their system is user friendly, and they are always very professional.

It is our pleasure to extend our greetings and invitation to join us for our sale on April the 5th.

See you all at the Lake, Ian and Anja, Leanna and Thompson

If you can bet on anything, you can bet on Polka 46G, bringing in a tank of a bull calf each fall. 46G and her mother, the dam of Lot 19, come from one of our highest producing cow families tracing back to Boda 196X. 196X herself has had multiple sons sell through the sale and still has 3 direct daughters producing in the herd. Boda 196X daughters and granddaughters have had leadoff bulls in our catalog for years, raising lots 1 and 2 in 2024, lot 4 in 2023, lot 1 in 2022, lot 2 in 2021… they just don’t miss. 60M was the second-heaviest bull at weaning, lots of performance here.

Her dam sent a very good ¾ brother to DK Land & Cattle of Lampman, SK. 211M is masculine, big hipped, full of meat and solid any which way you view him. There is no questioning the udder quality that will result from this bull. 211M’s maternal sister has calved first-cycle and she is a phenotypic copy of their beautiful dam, so much so that we’ve fondly nicknamed them “Copy & Paste”.

Both bulls are Homozyogous Polled by pedigree.

Where do I start with lots 4 & 5… their dam is one I hold in extremely high ranking in our cowherd. She’s my ideal “Dillenger 116D” sired female who’s correct and sound on her feet and legs, big bodied, nice fronted and straight topped. Her dam is red pedigree royalty around here, sired by Power Play 102Y and mothered by the dam of Lot 36. Further back we have Reality 6P – the matriarch behind “Back to Reality 77J”’s pedigree, and many, many more – there was a time when I tallied all the females linked back to Reality 6P, the number is outstanding. These bulls are absolutely guaranteed to clean up and perfect udders – will not add milk. They are dark cherry red and have so much muscle and mass, clean herd bull heads, tons of hair. Stellar growth EPDs, 225M ranked #3 of 61 in his contemporary group at weaning and #2 of 28 for yearling weight. Both are above average in 10/13 EPD categories.

Lot 6 is just incredibly useful. He was born bright and thrifty, perfect shape, nice blaze face and dark red coat colour and really bloomed from there. His dam is very hard-working as most of the Eastwood 22E daughters are. He ranked #4 of 61 at weaning, a testament to his dam’s milking ability. He is “in the green” for 11/13 EPD categories. 261M’s granddam is a Dillenger 116D daughter with a stellar udder; I rank the Dillenger females as some of our very best, especially in terms of production Dam RYM 138H with 261M and structural integrity.

One can’t go wrong with a cow of Crosby 137W lineage. Good calving ease here being in the top 15% for CE and MCE. 270M is above average in 10/13 EPD categories.

He profiles well, having great length of body and a straight top. Very correct in his lines, 270M would sire an excellent pen of steers. Daughters would have very high udder quality, as we’ve appreciated for many generations back through his pedigree.

19/1/2019

This bull has been a fantastic breeder, covering groups of 40 plus cows each year we use him. This bull is dark red, full of meat and muscle, long as a freight train and with very correct feet. The only issue we have with him is that he is now too wide to make it down the long chute for semen testing! The ten sons we have catalogued are very much a tribute to Galen’s potency as a sire, just as the last set was, and the one before that.

The females retained in the herd are good uddered, sound, easy fleshing and massive ribbed. I think we will see a big influx in bull calves mothered by those cherry red, young brood cows.

RYM 180L Full Brother

Homozygous Polled by Pedigree.

We used the full brother, RYM 180L, to this lot on some of our replacements last year and he bred extremely well, with 18 calves born first cycle. He has also calved like an absolute dream, with all calves born unassisted so far! Lot 8 is above average for both calving ease and growth traits, with very good carcass numbers as well. He is mothered by a sweet Horizon female, a Dillenger 116D daughter, and I have absolutely no complaints about these cows other than that I wished we had more of them. The udder quality and soundness across the board is very good, they calve extremely well regardless of what you breed them to and they far out-produce themselves – always bringing home solid calves in the fall. Lot 8 is sure to sire calves that come easy and grow up quick, as well as make for some nice replacement females. He is dark cherry red, has a herd bull skull shape, he’s full of muscle, heavy haired, long as a freight train, has a great top and big hip; nothing about this bull that I don’t like.

Will not add milk, but daughters’ udder quality and suspension should be ideal. His dam, her full sister, and their dam all have beautiful udders. A group of steers sired by this bull would be packed full of meat and very consistent.

The thing about having a herd bull reach 8 years of age is you learn an awful lot about his progeny in that time. The fact that this 8-year-old bull still has excellent feet, and sires broody, balanced, hard-working daughters justifies us using him just one more time! Pretty fortunate with this herd bull is all we can say. Eastwood improves calving ease and maternal traits regardless of what he is bred to. He is moderate and complete, and to no surprise calved extremely well used on heifers with EPD’s in the 1st percentile for CE, BW and MCE. Springcreek Simmentals bought a semen package and used him on heifers and mature cows and the resulting progeny are fantastic. His sons in the Pursuit of Perfection 2021 sale brought as much as $20,000, $18,000 and $16,000. Daughters of Eastwood 22E sold for as much as $20,000 and $16,000 in Springcreek’s dispersal.

We talked about this cow family with lot 11 and in summary, they’ve been very good to us. The number of bull calves that have been brought in by these females is truly impressive and they don’t owe us a dime. Revello 75F has never missed, with a 5/5 production record. We retained her first bull to use on heifers, were very pleased with the results, and she brought a bull calf to town every other year except last – as we retained that one for our own use as well. There’s no doubt in our minds 49M will calve easy and produce thick, heavy-made steers come fall.

Apparently, we were selecting for scrotal development when we crossed “Revelstock” Lad 12C and Eastwood 22E, as this bull already measured 45.5cm at less than a year of age. We also lined up excellent calving ease traits with this bull who ranks above average in 10/13 EPD categories, and top 3% or better for CE, BWT, and MCE. We wouldn’t hesitate to use this bull in our heifer pen, yet he still boasts enough length and muscle shape to use on cows. His full brother this year was 83 pounds – consistent low birthweight.

The last bull calf out of Leanna’s ten-year-old show cow. This bull will increase milk and udder quality. He’s got a real herd bull presence, with a nice top, big sloping hip shape, masculine front third and keen head.

We would have readily used him on our heifers, he should calve very well.

He is above average for 11/13 EPD categories. Seeing as this bull’s sire and dam have made it to 8 and 10 years of age, both with excellent feet, I’d say the stay-ability EPD is accurate at top 1%.

RYM 335C Dam

Homozygous Polled, Non-Dilutor.

264M ranks very near the top on my short-list of pen favourites. He takes the cake for being big ribbed, cherry red, attractive fronted and with strong top and hip shape. His dam is still very sound uddered and has always raised good ones. There’s no end to eye appeal here, backed by moderate birthweight, well above average ranking in his WW and YW contemporary groups, and stellar calving ease numbers. He will without a doubt catch your eye come sale day.

We sourced Handprint 4H from Circle G knowing that this is one of the few breeders who don’t creep feed - a weaning weight means so much more when this is the case. 4H is in the top 1% for weaning weight, yearling weight, ribeye area and terminal index. He also maintains great calving ease and maternal numbers across the board. This herd sire calves well with vigorous, bright, strong calves. Anyone looking to add weight and substance to their calf crop should start here. All the other positive traits that come with this sire are just a bonus.

His young dam is starting her career off strong with all offspring retained so far. She raised one of my very favourite first-calvers, 50L, who I really need to get a picture of.

Sangria 202J is very typical of the Galen 48G females, cherry red, sound uddered, long topped and big ribbed. Her dam is also the dam of Lot 9.

Lot 19 is another bull in the sale tracing back to Boda 196X. While it’s typical to see lots of daughters and half-sibs in programs with donor cows, we don’t do any embryo work, making the cows that show up in numerous pedigrees in our catalog proven and impressive in a category of their own. The dam of Lot 19 is also the granddam of Lot 1. She crossed very well with Handprint 4H: doubling up on growth, moderating her frame a touch and adding even more softness and fleshing ability – this pedigree stacks a ton of maternal calving ease to boot. A full sibling to Zeppe 208D topped the sale back in 2016. It’s very rewarding when the new and exciting genetics from ten years ago still hold their ground today; sound and productive as ever.

95M was an easy pick in the spring. This blaze faced, big middled, power bull has always looked the part. He also takes the cake for being the heaviest bull to go in the pen at weaning time. This bull’s pedigree contains maternal greats like Rebel 33Y and Sonica 213W; and Handprint 4H is a great cross on this cow family.

We count on the 4H sire to moderate birthweights and yet his growth numbers are phenomenal.

The first year we used him his bull calves were the heaviest-weaning sire group, and the same is true this time around. His bull calves averaged 918 pounds off the mountain. We’d expect powerhouse bulls or steer calves to result from 95M, and sound, solid uddered, tanky brood cows too.

When you find “Revelstock” Lad 12C and Handprint 4H together in a pedigree you know there will be curve bending performance to follow.

Revelstock himself has had over 50 recorded progeny here and he is still well above average for calving ease, and maternal calving ease while also boasting top 10% and top 3% EPDs for weaning and yearling weight. Handprint 4H is the same story – above average for calving ease and maternal calving ease but also in the top percentile for both WWT and YWT. The numbers came to fruition as 118M boasts a fairly moderate 90-pound birthweight, weaned at over 900 pounds, and was gaining 5 pounds per day at the time of catalog completion.

His EPDs are excellent being in the green for 11/13 traits, top 20% or better for calving ease, weaning and yearling weight, maternal calving ease, maternal weaning weight, carcass weight, ribeye area, all purpose and terminal index.

We acquired the most sought-after Velocity x Mackfrid flush calf on offer in Meadow Acres dispersal and are very happy with the results.

172J displays a ton of power in his calves, with very attractive head shape and phenotype. They show promising performance early on, big round muscle and hip shape, as well as great hair and style. The calves are easily some of the thriftiest babies at calving time, being quick to get up and go. 172J is backed by Mackfrid 27F and all her successes as a donor as well, the females should be of high quality!

Don’t ask me why we didn’t get a single picture – I don’t know. Perhaps because this bull looks so similar to Lots 25 or 29. His dam is a good uddered, nice fronted Angus cow making him a true hybrid. There is no questioning the value of this cross as the cow family behind 189M is one of the most productive we have. Calves will be vigorous at birth and exhibit excellent growth. Rank him high on your list, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see him sale day.

Destined for the heifer pen. On Trend 3M is out of a cherry red first-calver who unfortunately got split from 3M at some point on the range, hence the weaning weight. This bull goes back to another “Horizon” cow – these females are easily some of the best producing, easiest calving cows we have, and their sire, Dillenger 116D, was incredibly sound and stayed here many years. Going back further in the pedigree we have Binky 222D, a bigtime performance cow who sent a son to Triple T Diamond Simmentals in Manitoba. A full sister to that bull raised her first calf last year and she is a beauty! Tidy, angular fronted and big bodied. 3M is backed by many generations of solid females.

Hetero Polled, Non-Dilutor.

Here’s a perfect sleep-easy heifer pen candidate. His dam is a super uddered, big sweeping rib type female of Thompson’s that is exactly what we expect of the Bootlegger 87G females. 222M is in the top 1% of the breed for calving ease, birthweight, maternal calving ease, and top 4% for marbling EPDs. Being another true hybrid, you can expect some added vigour and longevity, he’s also one of the most docile bulls in the pen.

Lot 36 is mothered by 14 year old cow 227Y, who is an own daughter of Reality 6P. 6P is a bigtime matriarch of our cowherd who has countless daughters and granddaughters still producing here. Lots 4 and 5 both go back to 227Y and 6P. We purchased the herd sire MAF 188J out of the Meadow Acres dispersal on the merits of his 2yo “Launch” dam weaning a calf weighing 844 pounds, her uberfeminine type, and perfect udder. Lot 36 has great growth and maternal calving ease EPDs, and is top 15% for stay-ability, as he should be.

A homozygous polled son of our fullblood herd sire Elite 8G. It wasn’t expected, but we could’ve easily used 8G on heifers, he has sired incredibly bright, moderate birthweight calves that exhibit stellar growth. The “Elite” 8G sired females we have producing in our herd now are so good we’ve continued to use the bull even though we’d sworn we wouldn’t continue to use a bull that was hetero polled. Lot 37 is well above average in 12/13 EPD categories, a pen full of heavy muscled steers sired by him would be exceptional.

It’s no wonder the stay-ability EPD of Lot 39 is in the top 2% of the breed when his dam and granddam are still raising very saleable bulls at 12 and 14 years of age.

This is a herd sire that deserves some recognition. To start off, he’s a phenomenal breeder, and saw over 40 cows this year. His calves come easily and have some of the best performance in the pen. We tested our luck breeding him to a group of powerful heifers and the results are fantastic. Some of my favourite calves out of two-year-olds; they had the right shape at birth, moderate birthweights and, as expected, have grown like weeds. Marlboro Man or “M&M” as we call him, has stellar EPDs being well above average in 12/13 categories. These numbers have rung true in his calves, we are so impressed and hope to use him heavily again this year.

If we weren’t fully stocked up on the genetics that back this bull he would not be offered for sale. This is the best of our black Simmental breeding program, crossed up and come full circle and it’s pretty rewarding to see in the flesh. This bull is docile, boasts exceptional calving ease, and is currently gaining and weighing near the top of the pen. He is one of six in the catalog with Bling 36Z in their pedigree, and he gets his handsome white dash on his face from her.

This is the bull that was number one on Leanna’s short list. EPDs well above average in 11/13 categories, 186M ranked #9 of over 60 in his contemporary group at weaning. He combines some of our most prevalent genetics from the powerhouse brood cow Score 207W, bull builder “Revelstock” Lad 12C, growth sire Riddler, to curvebender State of War 056C. 186M is full of muscle, has a strong top, huge barrel, a true herd bull head, and carries it all well on a big correct foot. His dam has calved first cycle once again with a full sibling who looks outstanding as well.

Lot 43

Homozygous Polled by pedigree, Homozygous Black by pedigree.

The dam of Lot 43 is a favourite around here, as is her full sister. Both females had calves sired by Marlboro Man this year, and I have to say that the genetic full sister to Lot 43 is pretty stellar. Their granddam goes back to Tobasco through our Warrior 33W herd sire, a bull that made his mark here by way of highly fertile, structurally fault free females that were the “herd bull maker” type. This bull is above average or “in the green” for every EPD trait. His yearling weight adjusts to 1500 pounds, ranking him 1st in his contemporary group. Both female and male calves off this bull will be of great value. Females will become some of the best in the cowherd, very typical of the “Zeola” cows that I speak so highly of in many other footnotes in this catalog. With the combined calving ease and top performance, one can expect a high number of unassisted calves that get up and grow. Lot 43 will sire a heavy pen of steers too, no doubt.

Never did we think that this big volume, well-muscled herd bull would turn into our heifer pen specialist. But we have since mated and calved out all our black heifers to him which worked impeccably well. His first set of daughters also calved this year, and the udder quality is extremely strong, they are compact, pear shaped, sweet tempered young brood cows. 44J’s EPD profile is second to none; he is sound, very docile, and easy fleshing. We retained a son out of this bull to carry his genetics further in our program.

Another good herd sire purchased from Circle G Simmentals based on the merit of Garth Cutler’s very impressive cowherd. Instinct has already been proven to add sound foot structure, bone, and body mass, along with that sought after money-stripe white face. After viewing the dam of Instinct 33J we were sure his daughters would become favourites with beautiful udders – now that we have calved the first set, we can confirm that notion. They are nice tempered females, certainly have great udder quality and I think they’re going to be stellar bull producers in the future.

If you’re looking to increase your number of retained females this is your bull. The udder quality is guaranteed good. If he’s anything like his genetics predict 234M will sire bright, thrifty calves who grow well and are thick antd square made with good hair coats. His dam, Morgan 61J, had an excellent bull calf last year as well.

We were excited to find this good Hannibal son backed by a hardworking, good uddered blaze face cows at Ag-Land Farms. 69K combines excellent (top 15%) calving ease with top 4% growth EPDs, the numbers have come to fruition with calves born bright and easily and having tons of performance after birth. The sons resulting from 69K are some of my favourite to see at the bunk – looking down their toplines is a view full of meat and muscle and they have small, sharp herd-bull type heads.

Stick around a while and you’ll notice how these pedigrees start to stack up in terms of production records. The dam of this lot, Zeola 162J, is a ¾ sister to the dam of Lot 43. The Zeola females as a group have performed exactly as expected: they have ample calving ease, the best udders in the cow herd, and consistently out-produce themselves while being very sound, functional and feminine. Moderate birthweight meets adequate growth with 15M. Built in calving ease throughout the pedigree as well.

81M is very characteristic of his sire – thick from his forerib to his hip, with a keen herd-bull head. He has a moderate birthweight, backed by EPDs in the top 10% for calving ease, birthweight and maternal calving ease; a full brother born this year weighed just 74 pounds. His 10-year-old dam still has a very sound, well-attached udder and she consistently calves in the first cycle. She is also a sister to none other than Bling 36Z. There is no questioning the fertility, longevity and solid track record of this cow family. Just take a peak at the footnotes of Lot 57 to see what I mean.

I’ve always had a liking for this bull. I took a picture of him the day he was born because he already had shape to his top, was pitch black, had tons of hair, and was bright as a button!

The other reason being that he is out of an old favourite: Bling 36Z. There are six other bulls catalogued who trace back to Bling 36Z, one lot who’s out of a sister to her dam, one who’s directly out of a sister, and one out of the daughter of said ‘sister’. We really can’t give all the credit to Bling though – her dam was the one who started it all – Dream 40T. 40T was the result of a flush sired by none other than CNS Dream On. She had many sisters whose bull calves were the highlight of our black Simmental program for years. Bling nearly never gives us male calves, and while we don’t complain at her annual additions to the replacement heifer pen, this lot is a special offering. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him on our heifers, his EPDs rank him well above average in most categories.

He boasts tons of length, muscle and eye appeal while maintaining excellent calving ease numbers and a well-balanced EPD profile. His maternal sister is a stellar first-calver who’s fault-free in her lines, with a neat little head and tidy udder. This isn’t his dams first bull through the sale either, for a little cow she’s produced very well for us.

There is only one black Angus female who resides here, a nice bodied cow who Leanna had the opportunity to win thanks to the Speller family who donates a female annually to the local show. 130D has produced well, she’s brought bull calves to the sale before, and this is one with exceptional performance. A true hybrid, the cross-bred advantage is strong here as 232M ranked near the top of his contemporary group at weaning, and currently still weighs up well amongst the rest of the pen.

This bull is coming on really well for a march calf. His dam is a daughter of Lot 56, who’s a sister to the dam of Lot 57, Bling 36Z. While I won’t go on about Bling as I’ve talked about her in about ten other footnotes, I will talk about the consistent low birth weights of 9289G. This is a cow that was born at 48 pounds herself, and whose mother had a 74-pound Hannibal bull calf this year. Low birth and great longevity is very expected of this maternal line.

When a yearling bull goes out on the range and manages to settle multiple cows it’s a testament to his sound structure, travelling ability, and breeding ability – to keep and DNA sire verify 2 bull calves from Bing 58K means he likely settled a fair number more than just those; we’re excited to use him on a larger selection of cows in a breeding pasture this year.

His dam and full siblings have great merit, selling as the leadoff group in Springcreek’s dispersal. Lot 62 is yet another bull who goes back to Sonica 213W, as do lots 9, 18, and 20.

This is yet another that goes back to Bling 36Z, and his dam is a “Zeola” bull maker as well. The number of footnotes that share my high regard for both the “Zeola” females and Bling 36Z is enough that I’m beginning to lose track, just know that they’re very good.

The only black bull in the offering whose pedigree is backed by the matron Reality 6P. Lots 4, 5 and 36 carry on her bloodline as well. Just to confuse things – we name our cowherd based off of their sire, and if you take a look at this pedigree you’ll see a second “Reality” cow – Reality 257R. You will find Reality 257R as the matriarch behind not only this bull but Lots 25, 53 and 60 as well. How’s that for lining up some cow power.

For an end of march calf Lot 64 is performing near the top of the pen, ranking #2 of 60 at weaning and going on to gain nearly 4 pounds per day, putting him at an adjusted yearling weight of 1428. Keep in mind this bull will be barely 12 months old come sale day, there’s no doubt in my mind he would’ve highlighted the front-end black set of bulls had he been the same age.

His progeny are very smooth made and have awesome length of body, dark red colour, and real herd bull presence to them. 2K is backed by some stellar cow families at McMillen’s and we can’t wait to see what the daughters will mature to be.

A cow who matured to be long bodied with a big sweeping rib, and a perfectly suspended udder. An udder you could run a meter stick under and it would measure 2 feet long and 2 feet wide. One generation further back, Dawn 13A, solidifies the maternal strength with 8 recorded progeny. 126M is well above average for calving ease, birthweight, weaning weight, yearling weight and maternal calving ease EPDs.

Feb 10 WT: 1240 lbs.

Moderate birthweight with ample growth, and out of a very correct, functional cow. 229M is in the top 25% or better for calving ease traits and top 40% or better for growth EPD percentiles. A full sister to this bull calved first cycle and she’s shaping up to be a nice young cow – tons of body, pear shaped, feminine front third and she’s got a great big MRLA 2K bull calf at side. This is a consistent cow family, and one can expect the progeny of 229M to come easy and gain well. Although lot 74 has a lot of mass and shape, his birthweight and numbers suggest he’d still work well in the replacement heifer pen.

Just like Lot 68, this bull also goes back to the matron Empress 98S. Designated ‘elite’ since 2013, Empress raised 6 calves with an average performance ratio of 106 and had 13 recorded progeny in total. We are retaining a bull raised by a daughter of 115E and he is very good. Lot 75 has a lot of middle and muscle mass while maintaining eye appeal. He is well above average; being easier for CE, lighter for BW, heavier for WW and YW and better than most for maternal calving ease EPDs.

48J has been one of the best range bulls to ever come our way, and so when he came back off the mountain in such excellent condition, we decided he’d earned a place in a big pasture of cows. He is soundfooted and certainly covers country. Good disposition, lots of rib and easy fleshing ability – he’s also calved very well, we look forward to calving the first big group of his daughters next year.

Calves are moderate, have good calving ease traits and his daughters should milk very well. 109M is soft-made, smooth shouldered and has tons of hair. With calving ease specialist Park 65E on the dams side we also wouldn’t hesitate to use him on our heifers.

The Mama Mia females have excellent longevity and great feet with lots of heel. They’re some of my favourite that have stood the test of time, they belong in our rugged country, keep easy and travel well.

Rumbler 248E is a very appealing, big bodied, highly rated female in terms of her udder quality and soundness. One can expect great longevity from this cross. Lot 80 himself is very smooth, balanced and will sire critters that keep easily.

Without a doubt one of the most sleep-easy heifer bulls we have used in a long time. We haven’t assisted a single angus heifer bred to him; these calves are born easy, bright, and full of vigour! While Parks 6J is phenomenal for calving ease, he still maintains an impressive frame and has matured well. His dam is a long-bodied female with big sweeping rib shape; a very correct and pretty cow all around.

Around here if an angus heifer raises a calf over 700lbs on the range it’s a darn good first go! I really appreciate the balance, smooth muscle and eye appeal this calf has. One can only hope that all the Tycoon 658H females produce this way! Coonie 38K is out of a solid, sound 10-year-old cow, and she has multiple sisters retained in the herd as well. All of these RYM 6J sired lots are excellent heifer bull options.

His dam has calved once again at the very front end of first cycle, as has his granddam. His granddam, Ms Parker 248G, is a cherry red, structurally fault-free cow who boasts excellent feet and udder quality. Lot 82 is yet another heifer bull option.

VET’S MESSAGE Mitchell Cattle Co. has invested in the health of their herd of cattle for many years through a comprehensive herd health strategy. Currently all breeding females and bulls receive an annual vaccination prior to the breeding season to protect against all the important reproductive viruses and bacteria including IBR, Type I and II BVD and Leptosprirosis. All calves are vaccinated at branding to provide protection against the important viruses and bacteria causing respiratory and clostridial diseases. Currently calves receive a modified live vaccine against IBR, Type I and II BVD, BRSV, and PI3, as well as a modified live bacterin against shipping fever and a killed bacterin against Histophilus somnus, Blackleg and other clostridial diseases.

At weaning all bull and heifer calves receive a booster with the same vaccines and bacterins used at branding.

In late fall, all cows, bulls, and weaned calves are treated with a topical endectocide to control internal and external parasites.

All bulls in the sale have passed a thorough breeding soundness exam to evaluate scrotal size and shape, semen motility and morphology, and structural soundness. Through my long-standing veterinary relationship with Mitchell Cattle Co., I also know that you can rest assured that each bull is out of a sound, solid, productive cow. Ian and Anja rigorously select their herd for fertility, sound udders, correct feet and legs, and temperament. These cows go to the mountain with their calf each year and come back in the fall for pregnancy testing. Open and late cows, or cows not meeting Mitchell Cattle Co strict criteria, are culled – no excuses, no exceptions.

As the consulting veterinarian I am very proud to work with Mitchell Cattle Co. If there are any questions regarding the health management program at Mitchell Cattle Co. please contact me.

Respectfully, Jason R. McGillivray, D.V.M. Kamloops Large Animal Veterinary Clinic, Ltd. Ph. 250-374-1486
