Little Poplar Grove Bull Sale 2023

LITTLE POPLAR GROVE BULL SALE

Welcome

Welcome to Little Poplar Grove Herefords, a fifth-generation family run operation in Forestburg, Alberta. Our passion for breeding industry-relevant cattle runs deep. We are proud of the fact that we have 3rd and 4th generation customers and continue to have the opportunity to place bulls in operations that have been utilizing “LPG” bulls for many years.

Generations of hard work has gone into selecting only top genetics while maintaining breeding precision. We breed with the intention of providing longevity and both high weaning and yearling weights in our herd. By calving early in the year, we can focus on breeding the females to the best matched sires, allowing ample time for our bulls to develop and mature. Another important focus for us is maintaining a very high maternal presence in our replacement heifers.

Thank you to everyone that showed interest in our program, it is appreciated more than you know!

We look forward to showcasing the bulls again this year, please contact Travis, Lorraine or Randeen for directions to where the bulls are housed.

This bull is just an all-around solid, easy moving bull with tons of length and great feet. The last chance to get one off this old great 19B cow. She was an amazing and consistent producer, always leaving amazing udders on her daughters still working in the herd today.

Heifer Bull with amazing maternals! 80J is out of a straight Sensation cow with an amazing level short teat udder. He is very smooth and will have good calving ease.

Yellow, hairy, thick, long and deep. 90J is just an absolute package. He is just a tank and always has been. His dam, 29B, is a cow Travis purchased from Gordon and she has many sons and daughters working. You can see the depth that 29B and Fireball have put into this bull.

With tons of thickness and bone, 76J is going to be a great bull. He is out of the edger heifer we purchased from the Edgar dispersal with a maternal brother selling last year. He is sired by the 4F bull.

This guy is a very stout and moderate framed bull with tons of pigment.

is just one of the many daughters that LPG 33Z has produced with good feet, tremendous milk and udders. There have been many bulls sold off of the 33Z progeny.

Another great son out of Revenue. Nice, moderate birth weight with lots of muscle. He has some freckle to him and great feet under him. Off of a nice first calf heifer.

He is going to be a solid bull being off of 16B that was just a solid producer, with many bulls and daughters out there. LPG 10Z was a great cow that would always give you a great calf every time. 69J comes from a great producing cow family with multiple sons out there working at Donalda Colony, Red Willow Colony and David Glaciers. 8B is a cow that loves to produce great bulls. We are excited to take her and get some flushes to get more bull producing dams like her.

Another good bull sired by Fireball. He is out of a very nice old yellow cow that’s always been a great producer and she had an amazing well-balanced udder.

Very smooth, moderate framed bull with lots of power. He will make some great calves.

We raised 16B and he is owned with Cow Camp Ranch at Twin Butte. His grandsire 114L is Ulrich’s favorite bull and was named the southern AB Bull Spectacular ‘People’s Choice” winner in 2002. His progeny also won the same awards. 114Ls dam was a “Dam of Distinction” out of a “Dam of Great Distinction”. He has carried on the traits of 114L and has given us some incredible females and outstanding bulls. His offspring have length, thickness, depth and correctness.

Maverick was Randeen’s first bull she sold, he was the complete package and was sold at the Calgary Bull Sale to the Red Willow Colony. His offspring are very impressive with both maternal and paternal power. Mavericks dam is out of the Sensation son 73B bull that was sold to Carl Ramsay.

Fireball is from one of our great producing cow families. His dam has numerous females working in the herd and has sold bulls at the Calgary Bull Sale. 24B is a beautiful cow with lots of hair, lots of depth and very sound with a well-balanced udder and short teats. Fireball has been putting his stamp in our herd and on his offspring that we have been selling. He has extra length and depth.

HOW TO BID IN A TIMED AUCTION

Now that you are logged in and your account phone number / email is verified you are able to bid on an upcoming sale. Simply find the lot you are interested in bidding on. After you have found the lot there are 2 options for bidding on the lot.

Place Next Bid – to place the next bid on the item, you see the amount in the first box, you simply click the “Place Bid” button and after you review the bid and agree to the terms and conditions your bid will be placed.

Max Bid Amount – to place a max bid you put your max bid in the second box listed as “Max Bid” on the item, and then click the “Place Bid” button and after you review the bid and agree to the terms and conditions your bid will be placed as the next bid. With the Max Bid placed the computer will then keep you as the high bidder to the max amount you have placed. This can be a great feature if you are not able to give 100% attention to the sale close out and protect your interest so you do not miss out on any lots you want to purchase. The Max Bid amount is completely confidential from the seller during the sale process.

Example of How the Max Bid Works - If the lot has a $2000 bid on it and you place a proxy bid of $3500 into the system, the computer will bid $2100 for you but if some one else bids $2200, the computer will again bid

for you, this time at $2300. The system will look after your interest to a maximum of $3500. If another bidder is on at $3600, your proxy will no longer be effective and you will no longer have the winning bid on this lot without once again logging in and bidding again or moving your attention to a second lot of interest. Please note that in some cases a lot value can change very quickly if 2 max bids are placed on the same lot competing against each other.

WATCH LIST FEATURE

If you have items in multiple auctions or only a few from the same auction that you want to watch with out having to scroll through the entire list you can add the lots to your watchlist. On each lot you will see the “eye” button beside the bid button, by clicking this “watchlist” Icon that item is added to your personal watchlist for easy viewing of just your favorite lots in this sale or on the entire site.

SALE ENDING / CLOSEOUT

Most FarmGate Timed Auction sales close racehorse style with extended bidding.

What is Racehorse Style Close?

Racehorse style sale close is when the entire sale stays open in extended bidding. This type of sale allows you as the bidder to change to a different lot within the same sale if the bidding has gone in to extended bidding.

How will Extended Bidding works?

When we get to the close out end time the clock for close extends with any bid placed with less than 5 min on the clock. This type of extended bidding turns the end time to more of a soft time. Extended bidding allows bidders to compete in lots like a real auction and give all bidders the same time to make a decision. Always follow the clock to see how much time remains in the sale you are interested in.

BIDDING CLOSE & FOLLOW-UP

After the clock has gone to “ENDED” and no bidding has occurred for 5 min the computer will declare the sale finished. Following the close typically within 24 hours of the sale close the sale consignor will contact all winning bidders to arrange payment, transfer of pedigrees and delivery/ Pick up of your lot. Or as the winning bidding you can contact the sale consignor / sale manager to confirm payment instructions.

Please make sure that your account info is up-to-date and correct if you are the winning bidder of a lot as this is how the billing is sent to Sale manager and/or Sale consignor.
