BOHRSON Welcome from B
ar-E-L Angus would rank amongst the very top of elite programs in the world as they have an impactful influence on driving this great breed forward. Dave & Lynne would be regarded as some of the very top cattle people in the industry and their shear knowledge and passion to produce elite cattle is evident in this catalogue. Their vision on producing the very best elevates this bull offering annually and we can confidently say that 2023 is the deepest and most impressive set to date … a must see set of bulls!
When Bar-E-L acquires new genetics for this program they always invest in the best cow families that the breed has to offer. Thus set of bulls has many of the most influential and potent breeding cows in the industry right up close in their pedigrees which allows you to invest with more confidence that you’ll be receiving the best genetics the breed has to offer on sale day. There are too many great cows to mention but when you analyze these pedigrees, you’ll recognize the who’s who of the breed quickly.
Feet, fertility, soundness, phenotype and overall power can be noticed in this set of bulls and never sacrificing calving ease. The phenotype design of this program in the bulls and females throughout is ideal in our minds for today’s day and age. The muscle, stoutness and natural shape is built into these cattle and they do it in a smooth, well balanced and ideal phenotype. It is impressive to view the consistency throughout and there are many heifer calving ease options as well that won’t give up pounds at weaning time when those first calvers wean them off.
Our team has much respect for Dave, Lynne and their entire family behind Bar-E-L as it is a program that is truly elite. When one thinks about the most influential sires and dams in the industry, this program is responsible for breeding many of them. We encourage you to join us on sale day to analyze an impressive set of bulls backed by one of the best cow herds in existence. If you can’t make it sale day, feel free to contact the Longshore’s or any of the sales staff to represent your needs. We look forward to visiting with you on March 9 for one of the deepest and most exciting sets of bulls to sell in 2023!

CALVING EASE
Helping you choose the best bull for your operation is fundamental to us. With this in mind, all bulls have been evaluated and rated utilizing the following criteria:
1. The bull’s actual birth weight
2. The consistency of birth weight of the sire’s calves as a group
3. The consistency of the birth weight of the dam’s calves
4. The consistency of calving ease of the sire and dam relates to the build and structure of the calf
Remember that 50% of your calf’s birth weight relates to his dam’s birth weight.
Our recommendations are:
Recommended for mature cows
Recommended for cows or larger framed heifers that were not big at birth
Recommended for heifers

If you have never experienced a Bar EL bull sale you might want to mark your calendar for this one! Dave and Lynne have bred so many good ones that have positively impacted purebred and commercial herds across the globe. They have never had a bull pen from top to bottom as good as this one. The energy and passion Dave brings to the industry is like he is just getting started and not at the tail end. Dave and Lynne continue to support the Angus breed like no other. Please join the Longshore family on sale day.
The bull feeding program is built to maximize forage utilization and gut health; they are developed on grass with their moms on a strict mineral program. All the forages are sampled and analyzed to ensure quality forages are used. Once the calves are weaned, they are slowly moved onto a balanced TMR. The bulls are challenged with a forage-based TMR to help them develop and express their genetic potential. Matching suitable protein sources with proper starch is key to promoting lean muscle growth. Organic minerals are used to ensure proper immune function and overall health.
If you have any questions about the nutrition program, please feel free to reach out. Buy with confidence knowing the bulls have been developed on a balanced nutrition program. Good luck on sale day.

BROOKING
This big-time herd bull is backed by one of the most decorated donors in the industry, with Rose 1019 backing him. Add Renovation to the top side, and after seeing all the good his daughters and sons have brought to the industry, it was evident that his highquality phenotype, coupled with his bigtime pedigree, made him a bull that was a must to own. The National sons are deep in quality and consistent with very few throwaways. National is an exceptional breeding bull, very fertile, and easily covers the pasture. Nineteen sons selling which speaks volumes to the consistency National passes on to his progeny.
ROBUST 0807
BC Robust 0807 was bred by Bill and Donna Conley at BC Angus. He was introduced to the public and the 2016 American National Junior Angus Show alongside his mother. His grandmother was on display that day as well. These facts speak volumes as to the maternal power bred into Robust.
He has a powerful foot, big hip, exceptional body length, masculinity, and dense power. Mature weight 2480 lbs. We think Robust is an excellent tool for the industry. Ten sons are available in this sale.
60F
Alcatraz burst onto the scene in the spring of 2019, selling for $200,000 in the Hamilton Farms Bull Sale. He instantly became the talk of the Angus breed in Canada. Alcatraz’s semen is still commanding $350 / straw. He is sound with a big foot, athletic, powerful body type, great hair, and the most pleasing docile temperament you can find. His progeny are born easy, heifer friendly, grow fast and weigh up at weaning. The Alcatraz daughters are powerful producing females with exceptional milk flow nurturing big sappy calves! Some of the finest bulls in this sale are from his two-year-old daughters. Six direct sons sell as well as several grandsons.

We selected Portrayal from the 2021 Hamilton Farms Bull Sale. Portrayal is a powerful performance sire, deep-bodied, masculine, and rugged. His calving ease is exceptional and was used freely on heifers with great success. Look for his sons for use on first calf heifers. Portrayal’s full brother was Reserve Grand Champion Bull at the 2022 Canadian Western Agribition. Seven sons sell. 9
There was quite a buzz in the industry when the first semen on Showman sold at public auction for $1800/straw. He has proven himself as a sire of high-quality progeny both in the pasture and the sale ring. He is the true definition of a curve bender! BW 0.0 WW +84 YW +160 MILK +32 CE +8.0. We utilized Showman in our ET program. Four sons sell.
We are leading off this sale with a powerful representative of the Brooking National sire group. A calf that is not oversized in stature, but he is big in so many ways. Power Play will look good in the most challenging conditions if you are looking for low-maintenance genetics. He is a real feed converter. This bull is so efficient that he needs his own pen. His mother - a donor dam - is a big-bodied cow, much like Power Play. She comes from the April cow family tracing back to Strathmore April 3A, one of the best females we have ever owned.
Interestingly, her son Icon sired the mother of BAR-E-L Natural Law 52Y. It all adds up! His maternal brother sells as Lot 142K. Co-owned with Blairs.Ag
Five Star is a powerful individual who is nearly fault free. Sound structure, long-bodied, deep-sided, and suitable for heifers. He has got it all! In addition to that, he is out of an Alcatraz two-year-old. She is a beautiful, moderate-framed female with a perfect udder. She is also a greatgranddaughter of the renowned BAR-E-L Magnolia 15T, who was Reserve Grand Champion Female at the 2009 World Angus Forum and 2009 Farmfair International.
Five Star was second in his contemporary group for 205-day wt.

Magnum is a moderately framed, stout, heavy-muscled bull; you could call him soft-made, easy doing, a bull you must admire for his masculinity and character. Magnum is the low-maintenance kind who will never have a bad day and easily withstand adversity. The grand dam is a maternal sister to Natural Law’s mother. These females never let us down.
Show Time was the class of the crop at an early age. When he went to grass, he was a standout to most visitors. The rich milk from his twoyear-old dam accelerated his potential. This long-spined, stout-made calf has the masculinity and good looks to become a terrific herd sire. Show Time was a class winner at the Western Canadian Agribition. Interestingly, his grandmother accomplished the same achievement eleven years ago, and this Density daughter is still with us. His 205-day wt. 885 lbs. - index 112. He was first in his group of 14. His 365-day wt. 1479 lbs. - index 102 placed him fifth of 12. A note of interest, the calves we took to Agribition all got sick after returning home and stalled their weight gain for a while.

We admire the efforts of a two-year-old mother when she does her job this well. Our Alcatraz daughters’ rich, plentiful milk has allowed them to succeed at this level. In addition, every one of those Alcatraz daughters bred back on time in the same calving interval. Pictured is the grandmother of Checkmate, an ideal female. Her production has been excellent throughout her lifetime, with the highlight of a son named Vindicated, who topped our sale at $31,000 for half interest to Arda Farms and Freeway Angus.

Freedom Convoy is a calf that we are confident will do great things for the operation that sees the value in adding him to your program. Balanced in all his traits, and more importantly, we admired his mother in all her years of production. If you desire to connect your herd with a pedigree that reads quite different than most, Freedom Convoy was a planned mating for that reason alone. We lost his mother due to an injury in late summer, and Convoy was on his own for some time, reflected in his weaning weight.
