BULL & FEMALE SALE

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Twin Bridge Farms and Guests Bull and Female Sale. We are happy to have both the Ness family back again this year as well as Carlson Cattle Company joining us. Like many Gelbvieh breeders we purchased our first bulls and females from the Carlsons so it is an honour to have them as part of this sale.

What a year 2013 was for the beef industry. We saw record high cull and calf prices as the demand for beef increases. It was great to see steer calves selling for over $1000 last fall and some top end bred females going for $2000. With barley prices so conservative the feedlots are going to make a big profit on those expensive calves. They are sure to be willing to pay big prices again next fall. It is more important than ever to be using the best genetics we can and keep a youthful herd sire battery. More than ever each extra pound we can raise and every cow that is in calf makes a bigger difference on our bottom line.

On March 17th the bulls on offer have those genetics that will progress your operation. There are performance bulls to raise those scale busters in the fall, Map to Silver Sage Corral Brooks, Alberta low birth weight bulls to make calving season stress free and of course all of them should produce those females that the Gelbvieh breed is known for. Back by popular demand there will be a select offering of females again this year.

They meet the same high standards as the bulls.

New this year the sale cattle will be Leptin tested. The Leptin gene causes cattle to produce leptin, which is associated with appetite. This increase in appetite in turn increases weight gain, carcass grade, milk production, fleshing ability and ultimately profit. Cattle can have no copies of the gene (CC or 0% positive), one copy (CT or 50% positive), or two copies (TT or 100% positive).

With each additional copy of the gene the traits above will increase in comparison to animals that are genetically similar otherwise. Contact either myself, Lon or check out www.carlsoncattlecompany.com for more information.

All cattle selling will be vet checked and the bulls will be semen tested. Sellers are willing to keep purchases until Apr.15 and deliver them within 200 miles free of charge. Please contact sellers ahead of time if you would like purchases kept later or delivered farther so we can work with you.

Please join us on March 17th and let us be your host for St. Patrick’s Day. Make sure to get there early for complimentary lunch and stay after for refreshments and socializing. I’m sure there will be some green beer.

Sincerely, Aaron Birch

Once again we are very excited to offer a great set of Gelbvieh bulls. We are very proud of this year’s offering and are confident they will meet your expectations.

For over a decade we have selected Gelbvieh females and sires that meet our high standards of performance, calving ease, maternal traits, soundness and conformation. We have no use for poor bags, bad temperaments, poor fertility and low vigor calves. Through an extensive AI and ET program we have been able to take advantage of the best Gelbvieh genetics in North America. We base our breeding program around the commercial cattle industry. We strive to produce cattle that meet the demands at every step in the beef industry.

We develop our bulls in a 5 acre area to give them lots of room to stay athletic for breeding. They are hand fed a low starch ration and free choice hay to promote soundness and longevity. All our sale cattle are on a full herd health program and are DNA parent verified. Check out our website www.tbfarms.ca for more information, pedigree pictures and videos of the sale lots.

If you have any questions or would like to view the bulls and their dams before the sale don’t hesitate to contact us. We look forward to being your hosts on sale day.

Heavy Hauler is a powerful bull that has a rare combination of length, depth and thickness without being extreme in his frame. He was part of our show team last fall which is no surprise with the pedigree he is backed by. The Morgan cow family has excelled in our program with 7 descendants represented in this year’s sale. We consider his sire to be the best AI sire we have ever used. His daughters are exactly what we want: easy fleshing, high producers, perfect udders and mid-sized. The few sons we have produced from him have done well, including Iron Man who sold to Nelson Gelbvieh and sired their highest selling sire group last spring. ADG 4.11 lbs.

Homozygous polled 100% Leptin positive.

Here is the only Ricco son we have this year. After his sons highlighted last year’s sale Ricco was only out for a few days before getting foot rot in the 2013 breeding season. His offering may be small this year but this is a ripper of a calf. He has lots of natural muscling, length and thickness with a ton of hair. He is also backed by a top producing Dam of Merit dam sired by the Carlson bred Holman sire. A daughter was sold at Agribition to Maple Grove Gelbvieh and a full brother to Load Up sold in our first sale to Russel Kulyk. 50% Leptin positive.

Momentum is a cherry red, smooth made bull that can be used on heifers without sacrificing performance. With only an 80lb BW he is one of our top gainers at 3.9 lbs/day. His dam is a full sib to our Captain sire and is a female that we are positive will continue to produce the right type, just like her dam. By combining the Morgan cow family and Tiree you can be assured that this herd sire prospect will be consistent in siring cattle that include all the desirable traits of the Gelbvieh breed.

Baxter has a surprising amount of thickness considering he could be used on heifers.

His pedigree is stacked with three generations of sires that not only calve easily but make great females. The Beryl cow family is one of our “up and coming” group of females that have really started to set themselves apart the last few years. Although they may be smaller framed females they produce big calves that stand out.

Here is a calf that is going to get a lot of attention on sale day. He is very smooth fronted and angular with a wide topline and big hip. He really showcases what his sire can do. His dam was part of our show sting as a bred heifer and did a great job raising her fist calf. She also has an impressive pedigree. Her sire, Master Plan, sires progeny that have a rare combination of thickness and eye SA Birch’s Wruffle 11Y - Dam of Lot 5 appeal and have done well in show and sale rings across North America. Her dam is our donor female that was our pick of V&V Farms’ heifer calves and has reached Dam of Merit status. She has already produced some great individuals in our program including our junior herd sire AWB Birch’s Blk Powder 37Z and her 2013 son that sells in this sale.

Cruise would be considered one of the easiest calving bulls in the pen. Along with a low birth weight he has good neck extension, is smooth shouldered and long spined, all characteristics of a good heifer bull. Like all Tiree progeny he is very sound and correctly made. With both Exposure and Tiree in his pedigree he will produce great females. His young dam has a great udder and is sure to become a top producing female. 50% Leptin positive.

Hope Opener is a typical Exposer son. Balance of length, depth and thickness in an easy fleshing package. His dam has become a consistent producer since she was purchased from the Milne Ranch at Agribition. A son is working for the Bertschy family at Milo and a daughter sold in last years sale to Foursquare Gelbvieh. The Exposure daughters are becoming some of our best females so Home Opener should sire the same.

This herd sire prospect is going to make a lot of friends sale day. You don’t often come across a bull, in any breed, with the amount of volume and capacity that Bulldozer has. When looking at him you can just imagine those thick soggy calves the feedlots search for and those broody females that we all want in our cow herds. He will be sure to make a big impact on someone’s SA Birch’s Verna 82S - Dam of Lot 9 program. It is no surprise this bull is from the Verna cow family. His eye catching dam is a Dam of Merit and grand dam is a Dam of Distinction. A maternal sister sold in last year’s Gelbvieh Wish List Sale to Davidson Gelbvieh. 50% Leptin positive.

Our only regret with Kevin is that we didn’t keep more of his daughters since they made great cows. At 11 years of age Happy Hour’s dam has a picture perfect udder, calved in the first cycle and is sure to produce more great calves in the future. She has reached Dam of Distinction status. A daughter sold in last years sale to Wade Davidson and all her other daughters we have retained. 50% Leptin positive.

When Yoicks was purchased this is the type of bull we wanted him to produce for us.

Lots of length, thickness and depth with some added eye appeal and hair. This calf took off growing as soon as he hit the ground and was our heaviest calf at weaning.

His grandsire Full Exposure is an AI sire we have used with good success. Most notably he sired Gail’s 4-H heifer that recently beet out all other breeds at the Medicine Hat Pen Show to be Grand Champion 4-H Bred Heifer. Daytona’s grand dam was purchased through the Agribition Gelbvieh sale. 50% Leptin positive.

Wrangler is a definite sale feature. He has that perfect balance of phenotype, genotype and pedigree that we expect when we match up the top individuals in our program. His dam was our pick of the V&V Farms 2009 heifer calves and she has met and exceeded our expectations. Through embryo transplant and natural means she has already produced an impressive set of progeny. A son, AWB Birch’s Blk Powder 37Z ET, was retained last year for our own use, a daughter was the high selling red heifer calf at the 2013 Wish List Sale and three more daughters have been retained in our program. One of these is the dam of the 13A bull in this sale. Even with being flushed Wruffle has already reached Dam of Merit status. If it were not for his brother already working in our program this bull may not be for sale. Homozygous Polled.

She may be the most consistent producing female in our program, she always calves in the first cycle, is in good condition and has an udder second to none. This is unfortunately the only black bull we have this year but he is a good one.

He comes from a good cow family originating from Carlson’s program and includes some great sires including Post Rock Top Brass and Gold Star Polled 5D. His dam has the same cherry red colour and a picture perfect udder. A son sold in last year’s sale to V&V Farms and a daughter is one of our top young females. 50% Leptin positive.

Lots of top and a thick hip on this Yoicks son. He stuck out at a young age with his natural growth, muscling and eye appeal. His dam is a high producing Gavin daughter from the Red cow family.

This powerful calf is most likely dad’s favorite in the pen. This is in part because he is from what we consider to be the best cow family in our program. The Marion females consistently have perfect udders are easy fleshing and never miss. This includes Monopoly’s broody dam who is exactly the type of female we strive to produce. Her past sons have sold to Eyot Valley Gelbvieh and Myron Machacek. Not surprisingly he is 100% Leptin positive.

Marshall has that rare combination of both power and style that is hard to pass by, which is why he was part of our show string last fall. Although the youngest in the pen he sure doesn’t look it. He was our top gaining bull at 4.19 lbs/day. With so much performance he is very smooth fronted and has plenty of extension so calving from him should be a breeze. This is what we have come to expect from his amazing dam, another Marion female, that we have flushed in our ET program. Her sons sold last year to Circle T Gelbvieh and Hawkeye Ranches and we have retained 4 daughters in our program. Marshall is a definite herd sire candidate. Homozygous Polled. 50% Leptin positive.

High Roller is a thick made calf from a genetic combination that has worked well for us. Last year we mated nearly all our Tiree daughters to Captain. Captain has worked very well to both decrease birth weights while still increasing weaning weights. These curve bending traits can make a major impact on your bottom line. His dam is very closely related to one of last year’s high sellers. She is a moderate framed female that is easy fleshing with a great udder, typical of the Tiree daughters. Her son sold last year to Brenda Sander. 100% Leptin positive.

Infinity was unfortunately orphaned in July which put him at a disadvantage.

However he has really impressed us with how he has caught up. This bull may be overlooked sale day by some but he definitely has the genetics to do a lot for someone’s program. He is another calf that could work well on heifers but also has the performance to sire heavy weaning weight calves. His sire’s first calf crop has really done well with his daughters being at the top of our replacement pen. We were really disappointed to lose his dam as she was one of the few Spiderman daughters we were able to retain, and they are great cows.

She placed second in class to the junior heifer calf champion and was also a heifer calf finalist in the Gelbvieh Sweetheart Futurity.

We have used her sire on our heifers the past few years and have yet to assist one at birth. This female would work well to produce those easy calving bulls that are in high demand. Fertility and fleshing ability is built into this cow family that originated from the John Milne herd. Her grand dam is a Dam of Merit.

We were very reluctant to sell any more Exposure daughters since they are making such good females, and we only get Exposure progeny from AI matings now.

She also has a very interesting pedigree on her dam’s side with all Carlson breeding.

Her dam has yet to miss with two other daughters being retained in our herd and a son selling last year to Rick & Bryce Strate. A daughter’s son sells in the sale.

Lon and Lorraine would like to welcome their purebred and commercial buyers to join them at this year’s joint sale at the Silver Sage Community Corral in Brooks, Alberta! After years of selling bulls private treaty, they are very excited to have been invited to participate in Twin Bridge’s 3rd Annual Bull Sale.

The Carlson’s have been raising quality Gelbvieh stock for over 40 years first importing semen directly from Germany in 1972 and raising Gelbvieh stock ever since. Albert and Lon participated in the show circuit for many years and continue to actively promote the breed both locally and worldwide. Their herd name (Gold Star) may still be familiar to many breeders. The Carlson’s strive to raise quality Gelbvieh cattle and as such they have been genetically DNA testing the animals for the Leptin gene since 2006. In early 2011, Albert retired and Lon and his wife Lorraine (Beaudin) took over the operation; Carlson Cattle Company LTD, located near Magrath, Alberta, was born (formerly Carlson Gelbvieh Farms Ltd.).

They are very pleased to be offering 9 head of registered purebred bull calves along with 5 crossbred bulls in this year’s sale. Please join them for a meal and a beverage, or at minimum stop by to catch up, as Albert and Lon would like to reconnect with breeders in the industry. Stop in anytime at the acreage near Magrath or check us out at carlsoncattlecompany.com.

Hope to see you at the sale!
