Consignor: JT Livestock & Pinchhill - Stettler, AB Frost The Fire is a wide structured, easy fleshing bull that travels on sounds feet and legs; it’s hard not to appreciate him for the amount of red meat that he possesses while at the same time still keeping the eye appeal that breeders look for. Being Daisy’s first natural bull calf he is sure to carry on the maternal and performance traits that we praise her for. We believe that Frost The Fire will go on to positive things in the cattle business, whether that is siring show ring contenders or commercial cattle that will perform in the feedlot.

Boomer or Buddy As we don’t need 2 full brothers as herd sires, we are willing to part with one. Pick the one you like the best. We used Boomer on 20 cows this summer and he continued to grow and fill out through the breeding season. These are 2 exceptional examples of Ramrod influence. They have length, depth and width. Real Meat machines; add to that their exceptional dispositions. These are full brothers to Paintearth Walter 58W. Selling in this sale is a daughter of Walter’s. This is a very good example of the offspring these bulls are capable of producing.

She has excellent thickness and is as easy fleshing as they come. Her dam always has a calf in the top end of the calf crop and she has a great udder and is fertile and trouble free. The Melody Lady cow family has been one of the most consistent we have in our herd. This heifer may be horned, but don’t discount her for that. She is structurally sound in every way and is going to make a front pasture brood cow.

A Patent son, Sprys Patent’s Ace sold for $46,000 at the Sprys Shorthorns sale in Australia. His offspring at Shadybrook and Waukaru are very impressive. This heifer is also backed by a great momma who has a flawless udder. This heifer has outstanding numbers and is backed by performance and predictability.

She is moderate framed, thick, apple smooth and feminine. Take a look at this heifer’s head. I have heard it said many times, that a heifers head can tell you almost everything you need to know about her productive value. I tend to agree and this heifer has a beautiful productive head. Volumes could be written about the descendents of the Raggedy Ann cow family. This heifer is very structurally sound in every way. The dam of 25Y has one of our very best bulls born in 2012 and he will be in our show string this fall. This is a female you can build a program around and I should have my head read for agreeing to put her in the sale. Opportunity time! She is entered to show at the Canadian Western Agribition.

Consignor: Crooked Post Shorthorns - Rocky Mtn. House, AB Maria 2Z is sired by the Australian bull Belmore Jackaroo Z109 from Andy Withers. Jackaroo excelled in the Durham Research Project and is making waves across Australian breeding programs. We have plugged Jackaroo into our program for four years and are very happy with what we’ve created. Maria 2Z has been a favourite from the beginning, she combines a lot of what is important to us, she is no mistake and to be quite honest she is really not a surprise to us, she is just what we expect from these genetics. Reliable, predictable and profitable; purchase with confidence.
Consignor: Crooked Post Shorthorns - Rocky Mtn. House, AB P/E: May 6 to August 22, 2012 to Crooked Post Callahan 12Y It’s with absolute confidence in our breeding program that we are able to offer pairs such as this. I have difficulty expressing how I feel about this female and her production this year, she’s just flat out impressive. The Grissom progeny maintain and perform well on basic roughage, his daughters are easy calving, have strong mothering instincts, have tidy udders with plenty of milk, are docile and level headed, Crooked Post Maria 14X is another case in point.

Butterfield Winnette 1Z is as pretty a heifer that has ever has been presented by Butterfield Shorthorns. She is a definite show prospect with a distinctive colour pattern. Already halter broken, she will make a great junior project.The Winnette cow family have been producing winners and high sellers since the original cow came from Bearcroft in the late 70’s.
Sweet Dreams says it all with this exciting heifer prospect. She is stout, long and has that extra depth of body. We cannot say enough about the potential of this Dream Weaver daughter. I have retained several siblings in my herd with all of them having picture perfect udders and an abundance of milk.

PRAIRIE LANE SPARKLE 1K X MURIDALE BUSTER 14K
Consignor: Horseshoe Creek Farms Ltd - Weyburn, SK 4 Grade One Frozen Embryos This will be the last time we will offer these genetics. We will have a few Buster embryos remaining in inventory, and they will all be retained for use in our herd, unless we find some more semen from him. Muridale Buster 14K semen is now sold out and here is an opportunity to obtain his offspring from old Sparkle herself. Sparkle is probably best known as being the dam of Wolf Willow Major Leroy 1M, but she has also produced many other outstanding progeny. Sparkle and one of her daughters have been selected for several flushes for several New Zealand breeders. Buster 14K is probably best known for siring great daughters with flawless udders, but he has also sired many excellent herd sires. These genetics should result in some great offspring ! We will offer a minimum pregnancy guarantee of 50% at 70 days following implantation providing an experienced embryo technician is used. This means we will guarantee a minimum of 2 pregnancies from the 4 embryos at 70 days. These embryos are exportable to most countries.

SIX S LEAH 55L X MANDALONG SUPER FLAG
Consignor: Horseshoe Creek Farms Ltd - Weyburn, SK 4 Grade One Frozen Embryos We felt that combining Super Flag from the 70s with our most prolific donor would result in some excellent offspring. Super Flag was one of the bulls that turned the breed around in the 70s. Six S Leah 55L is an amazing female in her own right. She is probably the thickest and deepest bodied cows we have ever owned. Not only is she impressive in her own right, but she has produced many impressive offspring. We purchased Leah in the historic Butterfield dispersal where she was described by Phil as being “a truly monumental mother cow.” Truer words have never been spoken! She is also our most prolific donor and to date, she has produced 411 grade 1 embryos and they have been sold to breeders around the world. Everyone who sees Leah is impressed with her overall mass of body, and she is living proof that some big cows can be easy fleshing. Regardless of the sexes of the resulting calves, they will be herd sire or herd matron material. We also will guarantee a minimum pregnancy rate of 50% at 70 days after implantation providing an experienced embryo technician is used. (i.e.: we will guarantee a minimum of 2 pregnancies from the 4 embryos at 70 days) These embryos are exportable to most countries.
