WELCOME TO
THE FROZEN
STARS GENETIC SALE
presented by The U of S Agros
Welcome to the Frozen STARS genetic sale presented by The U of S Agros. When I first envisioned this sale as one of the Agros major fundraisers for STARS Air Ambulance back in May, I never would have imagined the quality, quantity, and generosity that would come from all corners of the Purebred industry. With 67 exciting donation lots from 63 generous U of S Agriculture Alumni, Special Guests, and industry members. The sale offers an intriguing group of Embryos, Semen, along with credits for bull/female sales, magazine publications, and flushing or semen collection. From exciting new genetics to genetics that have made their mark on the industry and have stood the test of time, there truly is something for everyone.
For those unfamiliar with STARS, the organization is one the college holds near and dear to our hearts. They work to ensure the health and safety of our friends and family throughout the province. In the 2023 – 2024 year, the STARS fleet flew 3,927 missions. Furthermore, they have flown over 60,000 missions since their formation in 1985. We feel supporting causes like this are incredibly important, which is why 100% of ALL PROCEEDS from this sale will go to STARS Air Ambulance.
This sale would not be possible without the incredible amount of support from Donors, Sponsors, DLMS, STARS, and many, many more. A huge Thank You goes out to Tiffany Peters of 14 West Media who graciously donated her time and expertise to tackle the catalogue for us!

Maybe our most prolific Angus donor female, mated to the maternal icon; Density. There are 5 Density daughters out of 624H’s dam retained in the herd—tremendous young cows.

This will be the first semen opportunity for Merit Bobcat 76H and an exciting opportunity for breeders. Merit Bobcat 76H has done very well for us here at Freyburn Angus Farms. In 2022 Bobcat was a two-time Agribition CN Supreme qualifier, winning Champion Angus Bull at Canadian Western Agribition and at Manitoba Ag Ex. The bull was successful in winning Supreme Champion Bull at Manitoba Ag Ex in Brandon and achieving top 10 in the notorious CN Supreme in Regina. We at Freyburn Angus Farms do not have enough good things to say about this bull, especially regarding the easy-doing ability and docility bred into each of his offspring. With Bobcats first grandbabies on the ground, it is safe to say the udder quality of his daughters is exceptional, and his progeny certainly carry on his muscle shape and quality.

Leading Lassie 5G was one of our all time favorite donor females and she was mated here to Millbrook Fireball 23F, who we consider to be one of the most outstanding Shorthorn bulls to be campaigned in Canada in many years. He won several Supreme Championships at shows throughout eastern Canada and he has become a sire of many outstanding progeny throughout Canada and the US. Leading Lassie 5G was an absolute tank and was the thickest and deeped bodied female we ever owned. Her dam, Waukaru Lassie 2420, was ranked #1 in the breed, in every measurable trait in the American Shorthorn Association for several years. She has produced many breed leading progeny as well. These embryos are exportable to several countries. We will guarantee 1 pregnancy at 70 days from these 3 embryos providing an experienced embryo technician is used.

B-Bar Carhartt 71H was the highly popular lot from the 2021 Annual B-Bar Sale when he commanded $20,000 to Bar 3R Limousin, SK and Red Oak Farms, AUS. He has the stoutness, capacity, muscle and fleshing ability to grab your attention. He stands on a good foot and moves with ease and flexibility. He ranks in the top 2% for CED and BW while having an actual 80lbs bw and 282 gestation. Then he indexed 104 at weaning and 102 at yearling in large contemporaries along with a 113 index for REA. Carhartt 71H brings together a strong phenotype with a balanced set of actual and projected numbers.
