Bull Warranty
We guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull capable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. In the event that your bull is a non-satisfactory breeder, the seller will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for more than the original selling price. The seller will not provide replacement or credit for physical injury or mismanagement. Therefore, we stress the importance of insurance on your bull. An insurance agent will be available on sale day.

Welcome
With great excitement, we would like to welcome you to our 5th Annual Bull Sale. We can’t say it enough, thank you to the past buyers, bidders, friends and family for their continuous support. Five years has flown by because of the fun we’ve had along the way. The Charolais influence continues to be in high demand in the cattle industry. We can see why, with the ability of the breed to increase weight gain with feed efficiency and carcass sizing. Good Charolais cattle are still topping the market. It doesn’t matter what breed your cow herd is, Charolais influence calves are always in demand. At this time of the year things really come in perspective for us. We are calving, therefore, constantly evaluating our maternal strength along with calving ease. At the same time, going through the bull pen and really looking at the results of our mating decisions. We haven’t changed the high standards we hold for each and every animal in our breeding program. We are proud of the bulls we have on offer and feel that they are worth the drive. If you are not familiar with us or our program, please do not hesitate to contact us. We believe in doing business honestly and fairly. We would like people to know that, as always, our open-door policy still stands. We encourage people to come and take time to go through the bull pen. We are always available for bull viewing or inquiries anytime ahead of the sale and understand the importance of the investment. Sincerely, Troy, Dianna and family

Game Day was one of the highest selling bulls in Canada in 2020 purchased by Poplar Bluff Stock Farm out of our annual bull sale. We are so thankful for the purchase and him going to into such a great operation. We retained a semen interest in this bull and couldn’t be happier that we did. His offspring exhibit that same natural muscling, hair, confirmation, and disposition he does. Not only are the bulls excellent, the heifer calves are stamped with the same qualities along with the femininity that we desire. Last year, on our farm, his birth weight average on heifers was 91lbs, and on bulls was 100 lbs. This year, it has been 97lbs on heifers and 99lbs on bulls. Every calf made the cut. He has displayed consistency in calving and quality. He is the complete package and we are proud of what this bull is doing.

Outlaw 2G
We purchased Outlaw with Horseshoe E Charolais. He was the Senior Bull Calf Champion in Agribition in 2019. He is an impressive and complete package. This is the first year with us offering this set of bulls and we are happy to have them included in our sale. They are stylish cattle in both bull and heifer pen. These cattle are hairy, fleshy and moderate sized.

Legend 307A
When reading about Legend, there is often the quote: “needs no introduction.” We have been using Legend for years now and we keep finding a fit for the semen that is still in the tank. The results are positive with cattle having performance and calving ease. We appreciate the Legend daughters in our herds and their ability to produce.

Gasket 62G
We are very happy with what Gasket has added to our program. He is one of the best-looking mature bulls we have ever walked here at Legacy. He is a large framed, wellmuscled, ranchy bull. The wheels underneath him couldn’t get any better, with awesome leg structure, frame, and perfect feet.

OUR FEEDING PROGRAM
We initially feed our bulls using a fiber based no-starch protein supplement along with oats. We then continue with a fiber based non-starch protein pellet. This combination is designed to provide the energy required for good growth, but does not contain any added starch (grain). In addition, it contains chelated minerals, trace minerals and Vitamin E at a higher level to promote better skeletal growth, scrotal development and immune response. It also helps with the stomachs transition from pen to pasture. When we feel their skeletal growth for their age is at a maximum, we then switch to a TMR. We do this to help you see their potential, but not at a rate that is going to affect their longevity.
BIRTH WEIGHT & CALVING EASE
University studies in Wyoming and data from Montana and Colorado lend credence to the following conclusions: 1. The birth weight itself influences calving ease by 65%. 2. The female has 60-70% influence on BW of her calf. 3. The bull has 30-40% influence on BW of his progeny. 4. Pelvic measurement and angle as well as the shape of the calf have 35-40% influence on CE. 5. Length of gestation greatly affects BW. A fetus can gain over one pound per day in the last days of gestation. 6. Weather and temperature the last 30 days affect the length of gestation. 7. Size and maturity of the cow influence CE. Remember, everything is relevant. Increased growth, frame and performance will increase BW. A longerbodied calf will weight more. If a calf is expected to have genetics for growth, it will display this prior to birth as well as after. As a rule of thumb, it takes a calf weighing 85 lb. at birth to finish at 1200-1250 lb. A cow should easily give birth to a calf weighing 8% of her own body weight. Thus a 1200 lb. cow should give birth to a 96 lb. calf with ease. Continued selection for light birth weights will ultimately reduce the mature sizes and performance of your cattle.
