ROSEFIELD SIMMENTALS
The Wiebe family at Rosefield Simmentals would like to take this opportunity to welcome each and everyone of you to our 7th annual North Country Ranchland Bull and Female Sale! We are truly grateful for all the support you have shown towards our program throughout the years and we thank you for that; without your support we could not move forward with our program. Our bulls this year are from a variety of different sires, some from our AI program and some from our specially selected natural herd bulls. The bulls all get pail fed a mixture of oats and barley twice a day, they also get good quality free choice hay and chopped silage. We will also be offering commercial breeding heifers again this year, which are selected from a pen of 40 of our top choice heifers on the ranch. These girls are born in February and March, so they have lots of age and should be ready to be bred to your choice of bull anytime now. If you would like to view the bulls or heifers prior to sale day then please stop by the farm and we would be glad to show you the herd. For more information call James at 250-793-0462. Hope to see you all at the sale at VJV in Dawson Creek on March 24th, 2020!

Wolfe Atomic 616A “Sting�
Well they say all good things have to come to an end and that is true for this phenomenal bull, whom we had to retire due to an injury. The three “Sting� sired bulls for sale in this catalogue are the last of his offspring. We have sold many of his bulls in our previous sales and on the farm. “Sting� has been an unbelievable herd sire for us; the females he left us are really producing well and have many great characteristics.
“Rosefield Ranch hands�
BEE Raid 312C “Raid�
Raid has turned into a big and powerful meat machine! His calves are long, just like him, and are usually colored very well. Raid is from the Beechinor’s herd and his dam has raised bulls that they have sold in their annual bull sales.
S I R E S
Lone Stone Envoy 165D “Envoy�
We bought Envoy as a two year old at Lone Stone Farms bull sale in Westlock, Alberta. He is a long, thick, polled bull. We wanted to be able to raise some polled Fleckvieh bulls without losing performance, and it looks like he is doing exactly that.
Kuntz Sheriff 8A “Sherrif�
Sheriff is and AI Sire that has been proven to work well on heifers. He is an easy calving bull whos’ calves are small at birth but they really perform well once they hit the ground. In the fall we weaned some 850 pound steer calves that were sired by Sheriff and came out of first calf heifers.

Giddion will be exactly one year old at sale time. His dam is turning 12 this spring and still has very good feet and lots of milk. Her last years bull was the highest selling bull at the sale and was purchased by Mark Wall. We have bred this cow to a lot of different sires and the outcome is always good; with a 98 pound birth weight this little Envoy son should make for good calving ease.

This is our first group of bull calves out of “Lone Stone Envoy 165D�. This bull has lots of length with a real nice topline. His dam is 10 years old and still has a very nice tidy udder. Gatorade is one of the heaviest muscled bulls on offer and I think come sale time he will be easy to find.

Here is a bull with a 92 pound birth weight and lots of performance. He is thick, deep bodied, and coloured up right. His polled dam is sired by Viper and has lots of milk. These are the first Lone Stone Envoy 165D calves and so far, we are very impressed with them. Envoy is a polled bull and most of his calves are coming polled. At birth we thought Gameboy was polled, but as a yearling he has scurs. Lots of good Fleckvieh genetics in this bulls makeup.

It was hard to decide whether I should keep this bull for my own herd or bring it to the sale, but I finally decided to bring him to the sale! We purchased his dam a year ago for $6000 at Willow Creeks fullblood herd dispersal. When this guy was a month old I thought to myself that this would be our next herd bull, but when putting together a group of sale bulls I decided that the best one should be on offer! Gunner is a Fullfleckvieh bull with lots of depth, length and eye appeal. He is sired by South Seven Adonis, who is an absolute meat machine. I feel he is an excellent choice for a registered herd and should produce an exceptional set of calves.

This polled “Envoy� son will be one of the younger bulls in the sale this year but he truly is one of my top picks in the pen. His dam had our high selling bull a few years ago which sold to Mike Lewis. With polled genetics on the top and bottom of his pedigree he will remove most horns from his offspring. Gaugewheel also has that deep red color with big wrap around goggles, it makes it hard not to notice him when you step in the pen.

This good looking, double goggle-eyed bull comes from a young Sting sired cow. He is polled, as was his sire and dam, so a lot of polled genetics here. 623G is fine boned and because of this I feel he should be a good choice to put in with a group of young cows.

Gallant is a Raid sired bull out of a young Crossroads Sargent cow who is just coming into her prime. A full brother sold in last years sale to Randy Busswell from Chetwynd, BC. It seems like Gallants dam crosses well with BEE Raid 312C. She dropped a Raid heifer calf at the end of January this season and we noticed the fertility in this cow family is exceptional, they are usually the first cows to calve on the farm. I think Gallant will make a very good cow bull who should be able to produce those heavy weight steers.

This bull started off a little smaller because he was a twin, but he has gained a lot of pounds since. When we weighed the bulls at the end of January he was right up there with the other big boys. His dam, JPW 506C is a very hard working cow that always has a good one; and when we add Raid into the top side of the pedigree we end up with a long bodied high performing bull!

Galeforce is developing into a nice thick bull. He comes from a Radium daughter that we showed at the beef congress two years ago in a “pen of three� fullblood heifers class. Galeforce is sired by Rosefield Viking 411D who is turning into a thick, easy keeping Fleck bull. Both his parents are polled so he should take most horns off of his calves.

This will be the very last set of Sting calves to sell, as we had to retire Sting a year ago. The “Sting� bull calves have been well received in our previous sales, partially because he is so consistent with color pattern and overall performance. The “Sting� daughters are high performing gals and produce lots of milk. Galla is out of a nice thick Beechinor cow that has a very correct bag. I feel that this bull should be easy calving.

In all reality I could have probably used the same comments for this bull as I did for 743G, as they have practically the same characteristics. This guy ended up with scurs later on and had a little higher birth weight. I think this bull will calve very smoothly because his dam and granddam are very feminine type cows. This bull likes attention and has a habit of being the first bull to make friends with whoever walks in the pen.

This is an AI calf out of Kuntz Sheriff who is +16.5 on calving ease, so I feel that this bull will also be easy calving. We AI’d most of our heifers last year to Sheriff and it was the best calving we had ever had; these calves were small at birth but really grew well. By weaning time, they weighed close to what the other bulls did. The nicest thing about the Sheriff calves is their great disposition; they are usually the first ones to come up for a scratch on the back.

Along with Rosefield Simmentals we would like to welcome you all to our 7th Annual North Country Ranchland Bull Sale. First of all, another huge thank you to all of you who have supported us in the past by purchasing, bidding and showing interest in the past 7 years! Our sale is slightly different this year, sadly we have seen some changes in the angus portion of our sale, as Dan and Trudy with Altona Falls have made the decision to step out of the sale at this time and are marketing their great angus bulls from home. If you are looking for a great angus bull give them a call! Thank you, Dan and Trudy, for all the contributions to the sale in the past 6 years, you guys have been amazing to work with!

We have been continuing to enjoy operating our ranch and dealing with the challenges that come along the way with another year on the ranch. 2019 has been another great year for us filled with lots of great times but also some challenging conditions. Calving season was cold as most of February and March the night temperatures were between -30 and -42 degrees Celsius which came with the challenges of trying to loose as few ears on the calves as possible but made for very clean pens with a very healthy calf crop. You know it has been cold when you start thinking “its warm tonight, its only -25 degrees Celsius” as you stumble though the pens at 2:00 am on your checking rounds. Summer was quite wet and trying to get our crops harvested and feed put up was “a bit of a challenge”. But along with all the rain came the blessing of excellent crops and a plentiful silage harvest. Pastures were excellent; so we weaned one of the heaviest calf crops yet; Both on our commercial herd in the fall as well as great weaning weights on our bull calves. Sarah and I have been continuing to enjoy the adventures that come with raising our family on the ranch. The 2019 calving season went well; another great set of calves that we were very excited to see grow out and develop. This year’s group of bulls is another diverse set of bulls with something for everybody! This years offering has a good selection for Fleckvieh bulls, red bulls, and black bulls. This is the first year we are pleased to offer both some red and black bulls that I feel confident in recommending to you as heifer bulls. We also have a great selection of cow bulls along with another group of some Angus/ Simmental crossbreds. Take a look, you won’t be disappointed! They are a very strong set of black bulls with exceptional performance mostly weaning well into to 800 and 900lbs. Our bulls are continually raised in ranch like conditions. We start calving the beginning of February and the cows spend most of the summer on crown grazing land. Our bulls are not crepe fed and fed a modest TMR silage ration after weaning. Our goal is to continually provide our costumers with sound bulls that will work hard and last. We know that buying your next herd bull is a serious investment. We stand behind our bulls so if you are dissatisfied we would like to know what we can do for you! If you are ever in the area, stop in, the coffee is always on! We look forward to seeing you at our 2020 sale! Georg & Sarah Eckbert & Christa

Starsky is a herd sire we purchased from Dan Skeels in 2017 in their Genetic Edge bull sale. He is a Black Gold Epic son. Starsky is a larger framed bull who adds a bit of frame size and length. He generally throws very eye-catching calves with the same dark red pigmentation as himself. He to is a very quiet dispositioned bull who is a pleasure to handle. His first daughters are just calving this calving season and are very fancy top end females in the pen. They, like their sire, are also very quiet and easy to handle.

Anchor D Earthquake 285D REG # 1183677 BW 94 lbs WW 925 lbs
Earthquake is a herd sire we purchased from Anchor D in their 2017 Genetic Edge Bull Sale. He is a direct ALLM COLOSSAL 25U son. He was one of the top bulls in their 2017 offering and its easy to see why! He is my favorite of all the bulls we have ever owned so far. He is a very thick bodied bull who carries exceptional thickness through his top line which carries way down into his hindquarters. He is moderate framed and very well balanced with great pigmentation and eye appeal. He is a pleasure to handle and is extremely quiet; despite being a 2400 lb bull you can touch out in the pen he is very respectful. This is the second group of calves we have from him and we are very pleased with both his bull calves and the heifers we have in our replacement pen. His first daughters are just calving now, and they are great looking females with the same pleasurable attitude as their sire. Karizma is another very exciting addition to our herd! We purchased him from Dan Skeeles last year in the 2019 Genetic Edge Bull Sale where he was one of the top bulls. He is also a very deep bodied thick bull with very flashy eye appeal. He is also very friendly and easy to handle. We used him for the first time last spring and we are just seeing the first calves sired by him born over the last week. They look great! Very nicely made up with beautiful dark red goggled coloring. We are very excited to see them grow up and to offer some bulls from Karizma in next years bull sale.

Wide Load has been one of my favorite bulls in this years group from the day he was born! He is a thick long bodied bull with good depth, well balanced and a very eye appealing package. His dam, HYS 209C is one of our top females that always catches your eye when she walks by. She is a thick, smooth, deep dark red goggled cow with a perfect udder. Her first calf was also a great bull. Wide Load has a little bit more birth weight but he is loaded with performance and should work great on any set of mature cows to sire a great set of steers that come fall will push down the scales and an exceptional set of heifers to add to the replacement pen.

Gaucho is another one of my favorites in this years bull pen. His Dam, 209Y goes back to the same great cow as 209C, the Dam of Wide Load. She is another one of those cows that always catches my eye as she is a pretty much perfect cow that I always admire every time I see her. The night Gaucho was born was one of the most exciting nights of last years calving season as his mother had not only one bull calf but two perfectly pigmented nice sized bull calves from our best herd sire, Earthquake. Right from that day on both Gaucho and his twin always caught your eye every time you saw them. Gaucho was raised by a foster cow and it was a very sad day when shortly after weaning we lost his twin. Gaucho is also a very long bodied thick bull; with great performance to sire a great set of steers, but also loaded with maternal for a great set of heifers.

Gizmo is another very complete Earthquake son. He is a moderate framed bull, broad topped bull with great length and depth. His dam 171D is a very thick moderate framed maternal Anchor D Rasputin daughter with an exceptional udder and sound feet. She always brings home a great calf every year. Gizmo is another bull that would be a very sound choice both to push down scales with a great set of steers, but also to add some great heifers to the replacement pen.

GO-GO is a great go to bull for any set of mature cows. Go Go like his sire, Anchor D Starsky, is a slightly larger framed, eye catching, dark red, goggled bull. His Dam, 813B is another very maternal cow who is hard to fault for anything. She is a moderate framed cow, with great depth and thickness, in a very smooth, nicely colored, goggled, dark red pattern. She has a great udder and good feet and legs. GO GO should sire a great set of heifers but also some good steers to put money in your pocket.

Both his mother and grandmother have excellent udders and very sound feet and legs. Geppetto’s grandmother was a cow sired by the old, PRL Houdini 191H bull, who left great maternal females that maintained exceptional udders throughout their entire life. Geppetto is another great choice for some mature cows for both a great set of steers and heifers for the replacement pen.

Gigabyte is a polled, red bull, loaded with performance and an excellent disposition! Please note his birthdate, he is born March 20 and by the end of September weaned at 848 lbs! He is the second highest preforming bull of this years group. He is a well muscled, long, deep bodied bull with a broad top line. His mother is out of a cow we purchased from Brad Giesbrecht when he dispersed his herd a few years back who has left great impact in our herd. Gigabyte’s dam is a smaller framed, very sound, young black cow with a very good udder and feet. Her first calf, a heifer calf is on its way to making another great addition to our herd and if Gigabyte is any indication of what she can do, I am really looking forward to the impact she will have to our herd. His name reflects him well, Gigabyte is an exceptional bull that would make a great Herd bull to add to your herd!

Here is an opportunity to purchase a great Kuntz Sheriff son. This will be our last offering of Sheriff bulls as he was no longer readily available to AI in 2019 so if you have been wanting a Sheriff bull to add to you herd don’t wait any longer. Gem is a well muscled yet still very smooth bull with lots of hair. His dam is a first calf heifer, and this is her first calf whom she did a great job on bringing him home at over 800 lbs with no crepe feed. She is a very maternal young, Sniper (Anchor D Viper) daughter going back to Anchor D Viper with a great udder and sound feet. Gem should add calving ease without giving up performance so would be an excellent choice for second cavers. He should make a great Gem in your herd!

Gustavo is another Kuntz Sheriff son. He is a deep bodied, thick, smoothly made up bull. His Pedigree has been a work in progress for many years as he now has 3 generations of calving ease stacked up. He has Sheriff on the sire side and his mother is an ABR Sir Arnolds Image daughter. His grandmother on the Dam side is sired by Champs Bravo. All three of these sires we have used very successfully on heifers. His dam is a very smoothly made up, goggled maternal, young cow with an exceptional udder. Gustavo would be a great choice for heifers or second cavers.

Garlic is a smaller framed polled red Sheriff son. He is very smoothly made up with a great disposition. Garlic is one of the bulls that always comes up for a head scratch when we step into the pen. He has calving ease on both the Dam side and Sire side. His dam is an Anchor D sniper daughter who goes back to Viper. His dam is a very fancy, sound maternal young cow who shows great potential as she becomes a mature cow. On the sire side is Kuntz Sheriff who was one of the best proven calving ease Simmental sires available. Garlic would be a great choice for the heifer pen of very trouble-free calving for some second cavers.

Ginger is another of the younger bulls of this years group. His birthdate is March 14 which makes him a month younger than most of the other bulls. His dam was purchased from Brad and Giesbrecht a few years ago as a bred heifer and she has never disappointed us. She is also a very maternal cow with a great udder and good feet. Flicker should add good performance to steers and great maternal to the heifers. If a red cow bull is what your looking, don’t forget to look at Ginger!

Gemstone is a bull that has everything in one complete package. He is loaded with performance, thickness, length, depth and great eye appeal while still maintain calving ease for mature cows. He was our second heaviest weaning bull weaning at 990 lbs in September. His mother is a smaller framed very maternal black cow who always brings home a great calf. Gemstone would be a great prized Gemstone in any herd. You can’t go wrong with Gemstone. His steers should really push down the scales but make sure you retain a few extra heifers as there is loads of maternal here as well for a great set of replacements.

He weaned at 1060 lbs the end of September gaining 3.84 lbs a day from birth to weaning. He should add loads of performance and maybe a touch of frame size but still maintain moderate calving ease. He should also add great maternal to his heifer calves. His Dam is another of our top producing cows with great feet and udder who always brings home either a great bull for the bull pen or an exceptional heifer for the replacement pen.

Gideon is another bull Sired by Cowboy Cut. He is thick and well muscled through the top and hind quarters. He has an excellent disposition. He should work well on mature cows to sire a group of well preforming steers but also some good heifers for replacements. His mother is another of our Anchor D Rasputin daughters who is a great maternal cow with loads of thickness and a good udder and sound feet.

Granite is a long bodied deep, smoothly made up bull. His Dam is another cow we purchased from Brad Giesbrecht as a bred heifer when they dispersed their herd. He is a half brother to the dam of HYS 500G in the red section of the catalog. His dam is smaller framed very sound maternal cow with an exceptional udder. Granite would be a very rock-solid choice to use on mature cows both for a great set of steers but also some nice heifers for the heifer pen.

She is long bodied and has lots of muscling and thickness. She is very sound footed and had a great udder. She has left us many exceptional replacements that are working on their own legacy’s in the herd.

Geronimo is a very deep bodied Bounty Hunter son. His dam is a larger framed High Voltage daughter going back to one of the star building blocks, HYS EVA 42R of our herd. His dam like all other females from this line are exceptional maternal females with lots of thickness, length, performance, milk and are sound along with great udders. From his sire Geronimo still inherits lots of calving ease so he would be a very sound choice for some second calvers to get good growth on the calves but still calve easy.
