Crooked Post Shorthorns

Crooked Post Shorthorns would like to welcome all to the Western Prime Bull & Female Sale and to thank all those who have taken the time and consideration to study the genetics, data, and to evaluate the bulls. An exciting time to be in the Shorthorn business as our breed continues to gain ground as a significant maternal British breed alternative. The Shorthorn breed is so commercially relevant whether you're looking to build on the strengths of maternal, growth, carcass or the numerous convenience traits. In addition to all that the Shorthorn is documented to be able to offer, the power of heterosis effect using Shorthorn is incredible high and it is free for the taking!!

Crooked Post remains very disciplined and dedicated in the breeding of our cattle, we've certainly enjoyed the successes of others who are using our genetics locally and internationally but our relentless quest to improve and do a better job with the cattle remains stronger than ever, the quest for the 'next step' requires endless study of Shorthorn genetics globally. We demand a cow that is structurally sound, easy fleshing, fertile and raises a top calf every year. Our culling protocol is severe, we don't accommodate poor udders, bad feet, bad attitudes or inferior productivity in general, the bulls offered are from strong solid females. Our breeding selections and decisions are derived from our management and environment that dictates high roughage diets with limited energy supplementation. No creep feed through the grazing season, weaned bulls are introduced to a winter of free choice grass hay and limit fed whole oats. It's essential for us to develop the bulls on a moderate diet, enough to grow out and demonstrate their abilities without sacrificing the longevity as sound productive breeders. We'd be most pleased to talk Shorthorns with you, if you have any questions about the bull offering please don't hesitate to call.

Kind regards,

Kirk & Brandie, Tom & Sharon Seaborn

In the quest for improvement and providing Shorthorn breeding stock that are backed up with knowledge and solid data that accurately demonstrates the potential of the genetics, Crooked Post has taken a vested interest in feed efficiency testing over the last 4 years. Selection of a top bull from a large RFI test group in Kansas and proud to announce that we are two years into testing our bulls through the Grow Safe Residual Feed Intake Trials at Olds College of Agriculture and Technology!! The results are encouraging, providing a well lit trail ahead as we continue to develop efficient, profitable Shorthorn cattle.

Until the freely talked about claims about feed efficiency can be backed up with actual figures, that's all it will be, talk! The goal of doing more for less makes great economic sense, reducing feed expenses and getting more done with feed efficient cattle. The Crooked Post and Arbutus Shorthorn bulls in this offering are Grow Safe tested and noted extracts of that data may be mentioned in the footnotes. If you'd like to learn more about any of the bulls or the program behind them, please don't hesitate to ask.
