EPD Information

EPD’s are “Expected Progeny Difference.” They are a useful tool in selection. EPDs incorporate the individual animal with its averaged ancestry performance. EPDs do not compare across cattle breeds. They are individually based per breed. EPDs indicate a probable variance above or below breed average for that trait for a given bull’s progeny. Use them for guidance in the direction you want your herd to go. EPDs are current as of publication date.

Skors High Roller 34C - Sire of 167E

The quality of these Skor High Roller 34C cattle is impressive. He will continue to see a lot of use in our breeding program and a few other select herds who have purchased semen on him. He sires true calving ease with exceptional growth and excellent EPD’s across the board. On the bottom side of this heifer’s pedigree is a past Agribition high selling female and LRX The Godfather, who left us very good females. She is bred to MRL Pinnacle 169E, a top selling calving ease bull that was purchased by Crowe Bros. from the MRL Bull Sale. Homo Polled by pedigree AI bred to MRL Pinnacle 169E on April 1, 2018.

WFL Ranger 58E - Service Sire

Here is a powerful, really stout heifer that is out of a consistent producing cow. She is solid red in color and is bred to WFL Ranger 58E, the high selling bull from Westway last spring. The resulting calf should be high in quality and outcross bloodlines to most red pedigrees. AI bred to WFL Ranger 58E on April 7, 2018. Preg checked safe.

24th Annual Checkers Sale

We are extremely excited to be coming back to the great Checkers sale. Although this year we aren’t carrying the numbers like last year, we feel the quality is sky high. This super sweet made red blaze face Capone daughter is a straight from the heart of our keeper pen. When you get to analyze her you find a massive ribbed, super stout hipped female that is very angular through her front 1/3 with that fancy blaze face. Zanna 144F is backed by a massive made cow that we purchased a few years back from Anchor D. We absolutely love these Galaxy (Blue) females and Danny will tell you the same, they flat out produce performance based calves year in, year out. Zanna will be a tough one to replace but we remain committed to bringing the best to Ponoka each year. Buy with confidence here, she will be a money maker.

Yellow Rose Cattle Co.

Welcome to Checkers! As I sit down to write this the harvest has finally been done and the feed yard is filling up. With the early blasts of winter throughout September and early October, it sent the Agricultural industry for a loop. Though as we all know “us” farmers and ranchers are tough and resilient; we just power through. The cattle came off of the little pasture we had looking great and it proves that’s genetics and the power of strong herdbulls and cow families will not let you down. We are very proud of our offering and look forward to visiting with everyone before and at Checkers. Bobbi-Gayle & JR 403-507-1561

Crimson is right from the front end of the red heifer pen and is our only red consignment. She may not be the tallest statured heifer JR’s 4-H Show Heifer but she is WIDE! With explosive rib and hip she will truly make a matron. Crimson’s dam is the maternal grand dam of J.R.’s 4-H show heifer that he did extremely well with last year and made tons of friends. The sweet disposition is genetic and that makes her a “dream” to work with. If you’re looking to take a show heifer out MRL Casanova 72B - Sire she would make an impact.

24th Annual Checkers Sale

Rosslynn is a tank. The Telluride heifers are maturing very nicely as breds and this heifer has a cow family like no other. Not only the genetics of JB Saugatchee, Skors Transformer and Wheatland 215 Z, but the structural power to make her the complete package. She will make some serious friends as her “look at me Attitude” will draw you in. She not only likes herself but we do also and it’s a constant comment from J.R. of “Do we really have to sell her?” But as in past the good ones need to represent the herd at sales.

Young Charo is a sweetheart and she is really hard to let go but I am sure she will do a great job for her new owner.

24th Annual Checkers Sale

Silvercreek Simmentals

We would like to welcome everyone to Checkers and our 11th year selling at this prestigious event with exceptional cattle and great consigners. At Silvercreek Simmentals we strive to breed sound-footed, structurally correct and stout-bodied cattle for you to add to your front pastures. The two heifers we are offering this year are both at the top of our keep list but the crew at Bouchard Livestock dealt a tough bargain. Both females go back to the great Wheatland Exclusive 215Z bull from the folks at Wheatland Cattle Company, with SCSF 3F being a grand-daughter and 5F being a daughter. Follow us on Facebook for updates on past, present and future sale consignments. We would like to sincerely thank all past, present and future buyers that continue to support not only our program but all the Checkers consigners Garth & Audrey FIsk 306-897-0270 CoraLee Fisk 306-861-8596

Here is a female that we originally planned on retaining as she easily soared to the top of our 2018 heifer crop. This fancy fronted, free moving, well balanced heifer is sure to make a great addition to anyone’s show string. Shameless 3F is a female that screams femininity and just look at the stacking in her pedigree, her dam comes from the great Shameless Hussey cow family from Rancier Farms and her sire is Wheatland Exclusive 215 son that we retained in our herd. We couldn’t be any happier to offer this heifer for your consideration.

Fannie is a real beef heifer with that ‘look at me’ style. Huge hipped, long spined, easy moving with a ton of hair. Her sire was a lead off sale feature in our 2017 bull sale that we kept a semen interest on. Check out this pedigree, very familiar to most breeders. Fannie is the result of a very successful flush. We have retained 3 full sisters in the replacement pen and 2 full brothers will be exciting come bull sale season. Her dam, 50Z, has been a very consistent producer. 2 sons have been high sellers at the bull sale and a daughter was a feature and high seller in 2015. To top it all off her natural Captain Morgan heifer calf this year has been scored very high in the replacement pen.

24th Annual Checkers Sale

From the top of the replacement pen, Fanny is a heifer with great depth, long bodied, very stylish with a powerful pedigree both top and bottom. Sired by Vision and out of a highly productive, Walk the Line, cow who is as deep bodied and nice uddered as any cow on the farm. 10F is a heifer that we believe will make a great addition to any herd.

This is a really outstanding heifer sired by Captain Morgan. Her Magnum mother has made her way into the donor pen. Only because of a very successful flush that resulted in 3 full sisters to 104E that are all at the top of our replacement pen, does this extremely powerful, stylish heifer come to town. To top it off, there are 2 full brothers that will highlight our bulls at the Herd Master Bull Sale this spring. This heifer has mother cow written all over her. Bred to Dream On on April 10, 2018.

24th Annual Checkers Sale

Circle G Simmentals

Welcome to the 2018 edition of Checkers. The last time Circle G sold cattle in Checkers was 1998. CG Homebuilder 803H topped the event and went on to be a landmark herdsire for Twin Chief Simmentals. Another Checkers sale consignment was long overdue! Circle G strives to breed sound, functional cattle that are maternally strong and will be profitable for my customers. The Circle G herd has steadily built back up since the partnership dispersal sale of D Bar C and Circle G in 2010. 80 Simmental and Angus bulls are marketed annually from a cowherd base of 280 head. I take great pride in having visitors compliment me on the strength and udder quality of my cowherd. These four females on offer were selected off the top of the Circle G herd and carry much potential. Garth cutler 403-304-0896

Circle G Cash 1C - Service Sire

Circle G Ms Daumes 798E is a female that I’m very proud to bring to Checkers but is truly hard to part with. She’s a feminine fronted, square hipped, big middled brood cow in the making. Her sire, the $50,000 Venom bull, is fast becoming a notable sire in the breed and his impressive sons are working in many top herds. He enhances epds with his curve bending numbers, ensures structural soundness and his daughters are phenomenal. They make up the best sire group of females that have ever been calved out at Circle G for overall quality and udder type. 798E’s grandmother was purchased in the Remington dispersal and has been an excellent acquisition. Her mother, R82, was a high seller in the dispersal and has been an influential donor cow at Ashworth Farm & Ranch. The Daumes cow family is highly regarded in the U.S. and is noted for it’s maternal excellence. A maternal brother to 798E’s dam was a $13,000 sale feature in my 2015 bull sale and went to Shady Nook Simmentals where he has matured into an impressive sire. Adding more value to this strong genetic package is the A.I. service to Circle G Cash 1C, the outstanding Red Mountain son that topped the 2016 Circle G bull sale at $26,000. This is a opportunity to own an elite Venom daughter that offers huge production potential. AI bred to Circle G Cash 1C on April 11, 2018 (preg checked safe). Exposed to TPP Crocus Cornerstone 17D from April 26 to July 7, 2018.

Circle G Yonina 882F has been a standout since day one. This cherry red heifer is clean and angular through her shoulder and neck, is long sided with extra depth and dimension, and has softness to her bold rib shape and strides out freely on a large foot. She simply oozes quality! 882F is a prime example of how well Venom is breeding and is impressive in person and on paper. The dam is an outstanding cow with near perfect udder structure that was sourced from the Rolling JN herd. Her pedigree is maternally stacked with a strong D Bar C/Circle G influence. She is also cherry red in colour as is her impressive Venom sired bred heifer that Brian and Darnell also wanted in this sale. I just could not part with them both. 882F will become a cornerstone female in any program with her striking phenotype and strong genetic foundation. Take her home and reap the rewards.

Circle G Edge 51E - Maternal Brother to lot 24

Circle G Rachel 824F is an eye catcher that visitors have noticed all summer. She is so attractive through her frontend and is long spined and hairy with plenty of rib shape. 824F represents the first progeny to sell from SVS Scout 665D. His flushmate brother, SVS Matrix, sold for $40,000 and is breeding well for Maxwell Simmentals. I place great emphasis on cows and cow families and the fact that Sunny Valley considers 665D’s dam to be their best cow carries much value. 665D is a dark red beef bull, is very sound, has great feet and is maturing into a powerful herd bull. The bottom side of this pedigree is also very strong with the highly productive Rachel cow family. 824F’s maternal brother was a very popular bull in the 2018 Circle G bull sale and sold for $16,000 to Ashworth Farm & Ranch. They’re really pleased with how well he worked and is developing. Rachel 824F is a strong female with a bright future.

Here is a heifer calf we have admired since a young age. She has a very feminine profile but still carries a lot of power and substance. Our Charisma calves have been very good as far as structure, temperament and having tons of hair. A Charisma son topped our bull sale last spring going to Ashworth Farm and Ranch. The dam of 22e is a beautiful black baldy cow thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to rise to the top of our herd producing progeny like this. With some proven genetics on both sides this girl should go out and become a great cow for her new owners.

Sonya 4E is a very complete female that has really stood out amoungst our bred heifers all summer. She is probably one I should of put a halter on this summer and showed. The “Lewie” daughters make great cows. They have good udders, structure, and feet and have plenty of milk. They have been the mothers to some of our top end calves. Sonya’s mother 570c is a wicked red cow who has a high quality calving ease bull in the bull pen this year that will likely be a highlight in this springs bull sale. Bred early to Bounty Hunter should make for a nice combination. AI bred to Bounty Hunter on March 26, 2018. Exposed to KKH Black Specialist from April 12 to August 15, 2018. KKH Sonya 4E

Jewel is a top notch female! She has had something about her from a young age. She is always picked out by visitors and for good reason. She has a striking profile combining broodiness and eye appeal. She is deep bodied and setting up for a real nice udder. She will be the first female sold out of our MRL Matrix herd sire. Matrix has been a herd changer for us, siring powerful yet functional bulls and sweet made females that can produce. 122e mother is no slouch either, she has top end progeny year after year and the combination with matrix has been a homerun success every time. Jewel 122e has a full sibling in the replacement pen that is just as good confirming these genetics work. Pedigree wise this girl is outcross to most red genetics only adding to her potential! She’s bred early to KKH Black Specialist who is a homo polled hetero black High Roller x Cobra. The resulting calf will be exciting, one of the best we’ve raised and are very proud to offer. Exposed to KKH Black Specialist from April 12 to August 15, 2018. Observed bred on April 15, 2018.

A very stylish gangster daughter we are very proud of, long bodied stout made with an incredible cow family behind her. A female we think will make an outstanding addition to anyone’s herd, her full sister is a beautiful first calver and her mother’s maternal sister is the dam to the investor heifer calf selling here to. A 3/4 sister sold two years ago in checkers to Percyview Farms. This is a cow family that really works one of the top red cow families in our herd.

One of the best all-around females raised to date here at Sun Star, part of our show team at farm fair. This female’s dam is becoming a very top producer for us, last year raising one of our top breds being a cobra daughter and year before that a final affair bull calf that we showed at farm fair as a part of our premier breeder/exhibitor string, a bull we thought so highly of we are using semen in our own herd on him. 8F’s grand dam 14M won many championships including supreme breeders herd at Calgary stampede and reserve female at farm fair in 2005. We feel Pam 8F has all the makings for a top show female or donor cow, she was third in a very competitive class at farm fair. Our first and only state of war daughter this year makes it more exciting to see the bunch we will have calving in 2019 to him.

Can’t say enough good things about these first set of live ammo calves. Really neat made stylish with a fancy baldy splash, all come easy at birth, all be it moderate we feel the power behind 26F is unrivalled and she will make a really neat breeding female, backed by a very strong cow family that originates back to a cow we purchased from Gateway in Montana.

Sun Star Lexy 8C - Maternal Sister

Another neat blazed faced female this Ignition daughter is as pretty fronted as they come with style and length to burn. Backed by one of our prolific cows Lexy 30A whose is also the dam to our show heifer Lexy 8C who is now becoming a top cow in our herd. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough good things about this cow family and their productivity of breeding on consistent quality every year. 29F would surely make a very exciting YCS show heifer.

A true standout since birth this being the only Investor heifer calf we have we a super excited to see more. Soggy deep and square made this heifer checks a lot of boxes for us, her dam is a really solid well put together red power daughter and yet another good female tracing back to 4S, same cow family as the gangster heifer calf. Easy one of our very best red heifer calves this year.

A powerful gangster daughter with lots of length and style, part of our farm fair show team. This female is backed be probably the best red cow on the farm 45X, a cow that has raised a few bulls and a few females retained in the herd and another top show female selling at Friday Night Lights to Black Gold Simmentals which raised their highest weaning and yearling weight bull her first year. Females with this depth of quality are hard to part with, with her outstanding dam and being sired by the $35,000 Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Gangster who has been one of the most consistent red sires used lately in our program with us even keeping a son in Sun Star Dillinger 29D.

One of our top performance heifers this casino daughter has power cow written all over her. Her dam is a moderate soggy great uddered cow whom is really coming into her own as a producer. They always say when buying a female buy one backed by a great cow family and this is another prime example of one of the most popular top quality cow families we have.

We purchased RJY 44D from High Country Cattle Services last December. We had our eye on this female for a few months before the sale. Her length, femininity and style drew us in. We were also excited that she was bred to RJY Chrome 6B. We have had several calves from this sire and they are always our top pick in every calf crop, RHS FlashPoint 844F was no different. Everyone that toured our heifer pen this summer picked FlashPoint out without hesitation. A big thank you to Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cattle Co. and Twisted Sisters Livestock for taking FlashPoint to Brandon, Lloydminster and Agribiton. Many thanks to all who express interest in her. She is definitely a herd builder. Homo Polled and Homo Black
