My Colossal 806G heifer that I hate to part with. Essence 104K has nice calving ease numbers on a moderate frame. The U2 mom goes back to a Bravo and Syndicate mix, a very nice dam in our herd.

We are very thankful to our customers, neighbours and friends for your trust and confidence in our program. We strive to earn your business by providing the very best bulls possible and customer service to match.

Bull Management

We strive to provide our herd the best possible feed ingredients and health protocols to ensure optimal health and growth throughout their lives. At birth the calves are given Enforce and Vit ADE and warm head gear if the weather is cold enough to freeze those delicate ears.

When we turn out for summer pasture in late May early June, the calves are given Pyramid FPS with Presponse, Fermicon 7/Somnugen and Long Range. At this time, we also take the calves weights and hair samples for DNA.

When the calves come home in the fall, we give them a booster shot of Pyramid FPS and Fermicon and give them Ivermectin or Cylence pour on. We weigh them again to get their weaning weights.

We feed alfalfa silage to our herd, and start the bulls on a alfalfa silage/Timothy ration to begin. We then introduce a pellet ration from Bullseye Feeds into the ration. We slowly increase the pellet ration to 1% of body weight of the animal and eliminate the timothy from the ration. We feel this ration helps the bulls to grow into their genetic potential without pushing them to hard and burning them out and reducing their long-term breeding potential.

All bulls are semen tested by the wonderful staff at Fort Macleod Vet Clinic a few weeks before sale day. At this time the bulls are given their first shot of Fusaguard for prevention of foot rot. The booster shot is given before sale day.

W Sunrise Element 134f

TMP

215

Our main Herd Sire on the Farm, purchased from the very Maternal-focused W Sunrise Ranch, he was our pick because of his foot structure and at 5 years of age his feet are impeccable. Tanner Walgenbach wrote “a moderate birth weight bull that will leave behind exceptional females” and he was 100% right on that. His calf crops have been super consistent.

Cts Remedy 1t01

Remedy is one of the highest foot score bulls in the Angus breed, so of course we’d select him as an AI sire. He’s also a calving ease specialist with early rapid growth. His sons are powerful calving ease bulls and his daughters benefit from high maternal sires, excellent udder quality and structural integrity.

A Stand-Out since Day #1. Heifer bull in the Top 10% for Calving Ease, Birth Weight, weaning weight and yearling weight! Sire is Square B True North 8052 out of SAV Rainfall, a Top 1% Calving Ease with strong maternal traits.
