Welcome
Welcome to the 2nd “Keepin It Simple” female Simmental sale. Thank you for all the support last year as the bidders and buyers from that sale made it an easy decision to keep this sale going and growing. New this year is the addition of some great consignors and friends with the same passion and vision for the breed as we do. These 3 progressive young Simmental breeders have supported Triangle Stock Farm over the years and have built uniform, strong consistent cow herds with the same intentions and philosophies as us. They are offering females from the heart of their herds with the type and pedigrees that will add to any program and no doubt will grab your attention once you see them.
“Keepin it Simple” and allowing these females to showcase their capabilities and potential without extra is what we want to promote and stand behind. Due to increasing costs of production and all the risks of the farming business these females must prove and display their worth without extra input. The past few years have definitely posed different situations and challenges to adapt and adjust to while trying to maintain and we think these females have the potential to add value. Offering a great selection of Red & Black Simmentals – young bred females, bred heifers and open heifer calves. These females will be offered in their everyday clothes “Keepin it Simple” with the expectation of them smoothly adjusting into their new homes. New this year will be the pick of our 2025 heifer calves and Tandem T Farms is offering the opportunity to purchase some semen on their new herdsire Right Hand Man.
An exciting addition this year is the offering of some semen lots. Right Hand Man is an outstanding Rancher son that Tandem T Farms purchased this spring and there is much anticipation to see his calves come in 2025! A few small lots of semen will be available on this upcomer who can be viewed at Alta Genetics. Take advantage and get your 2025 breeding plans started with some great new genetics as well we have put together a bit of proven older semen. Bulls that are in a number of pedigrees that are proven and have poised the breed that we are offering are Captain Morgan, Epic, Top Tier and Crocket. These sires can be found in some of the sale cattle pedigrees and will be a great addition to anyone’s AI tank.
Our thoughts have always been to “Keep it Simple” and to have females that are the most efficient and productive in the most cost-effective way. At the end of the day these females simply need to work and we value that. If we can be of assistance, please call one of us or any of the consignors, Darryl from Bohrson Marketing Services or Mark from DLMS/Farm Gate. We all welcome you to visit our farms and look at the sale cattle before the sale and look forward to meeting and visiting with new and old friends.

how to participate in the
DLMS FARM GATE TIMED AUCTION
1. Visit https://farmgatetimedauctions.ca, then click on the LOGIN/REGISTRATION button. First time users will select the REGISTER button from this page. Fill out the registration form to signup for a free user account and it allows you to select a username and password for use on all Farm Gate Timed auctions. This program will send you text and email messages whenever there is activity on your favorite lots or someone challenges your proxy bid and this is why you will be asked for both your current email and cell phone number. If you are a past participant in the Farm Gate Timed auctions simply enter your user name and password to continue. This takes you to a list of both current and upcoming Farm Gate Auctions.
2. You can choose your favourite lots in this sale at this time and the program will allow you to open either all sale lots or just your favorite lots on your screen. Any time there is active bidding on a lot you have identified on your favorite list you will get a text and/or an email noting this activity.
3. The program allows you to place a proxy bid on any sale lot. This in fact protects your interest in any lot of interest for you to a specified dollar value you set, when you may not be able to give 100% attention to the sale. 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.
4. At closing time of the sale the entire sale will extend bidding for 5 minute if a bid is placed on any lot in the sale. Any bid received after 7 PM will extend the sale by 5 minutes from the time of that bid. When no bidding occurs for 5 min the computer will declare the sale finished.
5. Within 24 hours of the sale close DLMS will contact winning bidders via email with an invoice payable to Triangle Stock Farm or consignor of Lot. Transfer of papers and delivery will be arranged with Triangle Stock Farm or consignor upon sale completion.
If you require assistance with using the new DLMS Farm Gate web site, if you don’t understand how to create a favorites list, if you can’t figure out the proxy bid or you just plain want to bid via phone, please talk to any of the DLMS team or Sale Consignors.
What is racehorse style sale 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 work? 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.

A Little History...
WHO: The name Triangle Stock Farm originated by a Simmental breeder from Turner Valley, AB. Porter Ranches Ltd bought the cow herd in the mid 1980’s and the name came with the cows. The name reappeared with the tattoo TSF when Vance & I decided to have our own little herd in 2007. I am the 4th generation farmer/rancher in our family and have been in the Simmental cattle business my entire life. Back in the day we bred 500 Purebred Simmental females & 500 Commercial Simmental X females and eventually had to relocate due to a coal mine plant. Our children are the 5th generation and are active in our operation.
WHAT: We started with a small number of Red & Black Purebred Simmentals and over the past 17 years we have grown our herd. A few of the original females were just retired last year and we have built our herd around cow families and are proud to offer some of those genetics. We will be hosting our 14th Annual Bull & Female Sale February 14, 2025 with 35 bulls on offer. Some of the females we are offering here are half siblings to the bulls that we will be offering and one will see the uniformity and consistency in these genetics.
WHERE: We are west of Edmonton 30 minutes with Stony Plain being our closest town. Triangle Stock Farm is located in the rolling hills of Parkland County.
WHEN: We are active Simmental enthusiasts 24/7. Vance works full time at Edmonton Kenworth and his other full time job is here at TSF.
Our children: Cheyenne works full time for DLMS and has her business degree in marketing. She is an integral part of Triangle Stock Farm especially during calving and breeding as she knows all the crosses that work here. The horse division is growing and these barrel horses are starting to take shape as the building years are really starting to come together.
Colbey is finishing off is MBA through NDSU and will be fine tuning his baseball game this fall/winter. He is a great help whenever needed and will be sure to grab some ears come picture days.
WHY: There is nothing better than raising your family on a farm and pursuing your passion. Simmental cattle are simply the breed we have come to love and we will continue to try “Keepin It Simple”.
Thank you to our 2023 “Keepin It Simple” Buyers

Welcome to the second annual “Keeping it Simple” bred and open female sale. I am Daniel Ziehr, the man behind Circle Z Simmental’s. I want to thank Vance and Michele for the invitation to join this impressive lineup of females. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to consign some of my genetics.
Making the decision to choose these females was very challenging as they would all have had a spot in my herd. This year’s calf crop is the most diverse and deep group I have raised to date. These 3 heifers would make a great addition to anyone’s herd. The sires of these females are bulls that are leading or have led the industry in the past. I don’t think you can go wrong with any one of them. I am confident in each one of these females and their promising futures.
The females are vaccinated with Vista Once, Vision 8 with spur and Ivomec. Preg checking and palpating was done on August 16th, 2024. Please feel free to give me a call with any questions you may have on my vaccination, feeding, or breeding program. I welcome you to stop by anytime to see the females up for offer or take a look through my herd. Thank you to all bidders and buyers, your support is greatly appreciated!

This Top Tier daughter is a dark red feminine looking heifer with a smaller frame. I purchased her grand dam TSF 25G as an open heifer from Triangle Stock Farm. This cow does nothing but produce quality calves, very maternal, has a good disposition and adds frame to put on the pounds. 25G gave me a great Reddington daughter this year who is at the top of the replacement pen. I believe the Black gold Approval 71E breeding will be a hit for sure. HETERO POLLED - NON DILUTOR AI bred to Black Gold Approval 71E on March 30, 2024. No exposure. Preg checked safe to AI.

Welcome to the second annual “Keepin’ it Simple” sale. We are honored to be a part of this sale, and we would like to extend a huge thank you to the Klepper Family for giving us this great opportunity. We are excited to showcase and offer two bred females and two open female calves. Both bred females had pregnancy ultrasounds, as well as both open heifers were palpated for reproductive soundness by Dr. Collin Lawrence at the Westlock Veterinary Center. Our herd health protocol starts with First Defense and Inforce 3 at birth. Then in April all the calves are given Bovi-shield Gold One Shot and Visions 8 Somnus. The bred heifers were also vaccinated with Bovi-shield Gold FP5 and Vision 8 Somnus at the beginning of February, prior to breeding.
Our passion for cattle led us to select and specialize in raising Black and Red Purebred Simmentals. We are committed to breeding performance cattle with calving ease in mind and with a focus on letting genetics do the work. Currently, we sell purebred Simmental bulls directly off the farm through private treaty. We sincerely invite you to stop by at any time to have a look and tour our program.
