Sale information

Towaw Bull Warranty

Towaw Cattle Co. and Rainbow Red Angus guarantee to sell you a bull that is structurally sound, and a bull that has passed a semen test conducted by a licensed veterinarian.

In short, we guarantee to provide you with a sound breeding bull.

If he hasn’t passed a semen test, he doesn’t sell.

Should any animal fail to be a satisfactory breeder, he will be replaced with a bull of equal value. Should this not be possible, an adjustment will be made to reflect the bull in questions, as a credit towards the purchase of another bull. In no case shall credit exceed the purchase price of the bull.

We however, will not provide replacement or adjustment for physical injury or mismanagement. Breaking this in mind, we stress the importance of insurance on your bulls. Should you have a problem with your bull, please call us right away, and we will work with you to make sure you are satisfied with your bull.

Update on Parentage of Red Towaw Indeed 104H Towaw Cattle Co. and Six Mile Ranch would like to notify all concerned that Sire Parentage on Red Towaw Indeed 104H (WDV 104H) 942651 has recently been corrected. Indeed is sired by Red CC Expansion 5E (CCF 5E) 836778, and this is now reflected in the Canadian Angus Association herdbook.

Red CC Expansion 5E was submitted as 104H’s sire, however blood type parentage verification testing utilized at the time confirmed Indeed 104H was sired by Red Glacier Divide 310. That was how he was then registered. Since then DNA technology has advanced greatly and we now use micro satellite technology.

Indeed embryos were exported to a foreign country that required a two generation parentage test on incoming animals into their herdbook. A DNA genotype was created using micro satellite technology and his parentage was re-verified through this process, confirming the originally submitted sire parentage of Expansion 5E. Towaw Cattle Co. Ltd. and Six Mile Ranch, co owners of the bull, were notified of this situation on February 17th and a straw of semen was submitted to our Canadian lab to back up this finding. On February 28th the owners were informed that micro satellite parentage verification using 19 markers has verified that Red CC Expansion 5E (CCF 5E) 836778 is absolutely the sire of Red Towaw Indeed 104H (WDV 104H) 942651. The correction to Indeed’s pedigree was processed by the Canadian Angus association on February 29th, 2012. Other Angus Associations globally have been notified of this correction. Due to the number of multi generational progeny, we anticipate minimal change in Indeed 104H’s high accuracy EPDs. Please do not hesitate to contact the Wildman and Gibson Families of Towaw Cattle Co. amd Six Mile Ranch or the Canadian Angus Association with any questions you may have.

as a yearling bull. He had just been pulled from breeding cows and was in great shape. His muscularity, structural correctness and ease of fleshing continued to impress us and when he was awaiting the championship at the World Angus Forum we were able to purchase some semen from Rob and Gail. He won the championship that day, and every other show that year, and is proving to be the best breeding “show bull” to come along in a generation. His sons in this years sale are all out of Red cows, so carry the red gene and have Red Angus EPDs. His growth numbers are in the top percentiles of the breed and they are partnered with low gestation length and moderate birth weight. We also have three top heifers added to our replacement pen out of some of our top cows. Tiger turned out to be a great choice in our search to add new genetics to our herd and in turn our customers’ herds as well.

Git-R-Done has done a great job of breeding both at Towaw and Rainbow since he was the high seller at $18,000 in Ter-Ron’s 2007 bull sale. He was a very masculine sire with great length of body and thickness. His dam is one of the top cows at Ter-Ron, being the dam of Fully Loaded as well. His daughters weaned a strong set of calves with ample milk and near perfect udder quality. Git-R-Done was lost to injury last summer so we will only have one more set of sons to sell.

Last year’s high selling bull was a Git-R-Done son selling to the Rigneys of Willow Springs Stock Farm.

Lancer has done a great job at Towaw over the years. He was a very deep bodied, sound footed and correct bull. His sons exhibit his same correctness, especially in the quality of his feet and legs. Many of his sons will qualify as heifer bulls and they should be quite strong maternally as well. Longevity is bred in on this prepotent sire as he worked as a cleanup bull for Rainbow this year at 7 years of age.

He was the Reserve Champion Bull at Agribition as a calf, and in ‘97 as a two year old weighed as much as the other bulls in his class while being a frame smaller. He has been designated an elite sire by the CAA on the strength of his tremendous daughters. Look to his sons for early maturity, strong maternal traits and ease of fleshing.

Towaw and Argentina

Towaw and Argentina Red Pastorize 565 Brigadier

Our quest for early maturing, easy fleshing, low maintenance genetics took us to Argentina in the summer of 2009. Ricardo Orazi, of La Cabana Pastoriza, approached us at the World Forum and asked us if we would be interested in partnering up on some embryos from his genetics. We had seen pictures of Brigadier and I was immediately making plans to get to Buenos Aires to see him and his progeny. In September of 2009 I spent four days travelling with Ricardo, his son Ricky, and Marcello, a valued consultant, and saw hundreds of Brigadier calves and daughters of his as well. The stoutness and easy fleshing characteristics of these cattle on the Pampas grass was impressive. On the last day I got to see Brigadier standing at stud. He was nine years old, incredibly sound and good footed, and very deep bodied and thick. This fall Jill and I went back to Argentina for the World Angus Secretariat and were able to spend two days with the Orazis and see more of their herd. Another bonus was visiting other top herds in the country and seeing more Brigadier genetics topping their herds as well. The embryos arrived in Canada in the late summer of 2010, so we will have summer born long yearlings and some February born yearlings for next year’s sale.

We are extremely excited about the calves so far and the opportunity to add outcross genetics to our herd.

Red Rainbow Edge is a bull we feel a great deal about. He has loads of natural muscle and is deep sided with a very strong foot and leg structure.

He has been a standout in our group all year. His mother is a moderate, deep, well structured cow who has never let us down. She has daughters in our herd and has a bull working at Dwayne Degens. We campaigned this bull at different shows throughout the year. He was very well received and added strong competition every class he was in. Selling full possession and 2/3 semen interest.

Future Herdsires

Towaw’s Future Herdsires Red Lazy MC Kingman 16W Kingman is a RMJ Redman son out of a Smash daughter. He had a 88 lb. BW, 750 lb. YW, and a 1329 lb. YW and is a total outcross to our herd. Two paternal brothers to Kingman were the high selling calves of last fall, averaging nearly $50,000. He is incredibly easy fleshing as he has naturally bred close to 200 females in his first two years and is always in good shape. His first 40 straws of semen sold at Red Roundup for $140 per straw. His first calves are very deep, easy fleshing and attractive, and will be highlights for Towaw in next year’s sale. Co-owned with Ter-Ron Farms.

Red Basin EXT 45T5

Last winter we went down to Benchmark Angus in Lethbridge to look at sons of EXT 45T5, being impressed initially with his awesome set of EPDs. He is in the top 1% of the breed for WW, YW, Milk, TM, REA and Marbling, while being just over average for birth and in the top 10% for calving ease. The sons were really good and the milking two year old daughters were impressive as well. When we saw EXT, the depth of body, length, and a perfect set of big dark feet, the wheels started to turn on finding a way to get him breeding cows in Sangudo. We were able to purchase ½ possession and a ¼ semen interest in this great sire and he bred 50 cows for us last summer. Look for his sons in the 2014 bull sale. Contact Towaw or Co-owners Benchmark Angus to talk about semen packages for 2012.

Fundraiser

Donation Heifer Once again we will be offering a commercial heifer for charity this year. We will sell tickets in the Dutch Auction system at $10 per ticket. If you bid $100 you will get 10 chances to win the heifer in the draw immediately following the sale. $10 tickets will be available right up until the time of the draw as well. This year we will be donating all proceeds to the Barrhead Community Cancer Centre, which is a satellite care facility to the Cross Cancer Center. Having a facility near our community is a huge asset to people battling cancer in our local area and makes it so some patients don’t have to make the drive, or even relocate, to Edmonton to receive their care. Cancer touches so many people in our area, so we think this is an excellent place to direct some financial aid.
