Genetic Destination Bull Sale
Tuesday, March 31, 2015 - 1 P.M. - Grenfell, SK
Welcome to the Fifth Annual “Genetic Destination” Bull Sale! A warm welcome to our 2015 Bull Sale! We would like to invite you back to Grenfell, SK for our third bull sale on the farm. We have been selling Simmental and Maine-Anjou bulls for eight years since moving to Saskatchewan and for over 20 years in Ontario prior to that. We certainly understand the cattle business and are excited about the future. The bulls will be sold with a video format in our heated sale barn and the bulls will be conveniently located in display pens outside the sale barn for you to view. We are also pleased to have DLMS - Whitney Bosovich joining us this year for those of you who can’t make it sale day to place your bids in a confidential manner. Mark Shologan is also available if you have any questions on the bulls. Here at MFR we drive our cow herd with calving ease bulls with good birth to weaning weight spreads. The bulls are all maternally bred because we believe in the strenght of our cow family’s that are the building blocks to our genetics. From a producer standpoint, we try to make real world conditions in our operation; utilizing a rotational grazing practice throughout the summer and grazing stock piled grass and swath grazing late into the fall. Our cattle know how to use forages and our bulls are bred to be moderate, easy fleshing and fertile. We like to develop the bulls slowly on a forage ration for longevity. There certainly continues to be some opportunity in the cattle business with the continued decrease in the North American cow herd and we would love to put you in the driver seat with your next herdsire. We would like to take the time to thank our past customers - as your success is our success. I want to stress how important it is to us to make sure you understand that we are not in this business to sell you just any bull; we want to personally fit “the right bull” into your program. If we can be of any assistance, please don’t hesitate to call. Happy customers make life long friends and we welcome you in joining us on the journey!
Please join us sale day Tuesday, March 31! Sincerely, Scott McCormack

RLA 721T or “Stormy” as we like to call him, was born out of my favorite black baldy cow 931J. Stormy is a total outcross, homozygous polled, hetro black bull. 721T exhibits extreme body length and is one massive middled individual. His mellow disposition and character are hard to come by. We are very impressed with how consistently he bred for us on a wide variety of cows. Stormy was sold through our 2008 sale and we are very fortunate the Blair family has allowed us to use him in our program.

The only Mainetainer in the sale and this dark red 96X son could be something very special. His granddam 9J is still going strong here at 16 years of age. If Red Man sires calves for 16 years...well you do the math (16 years x 25 calves/year x $1500/calf = $600,000!). He is not registered but if interested he can be registered as a half-blood witht the Canadian Maine-Anjou Association

37 RRRC Last Second
How Much Can You Afford For A Bull? We’re all probably guilty of looking at bull costs as a one-time expense – the way we view feed, for instance. In reality, however, a bull is a four- to five-year investment. One of the interesting things about this analysis is that the average service cost per cow – when all costs are taken into account – is higher than most people would calculate. For example, using conservative production assumptions, the average service cost for a $4,500 bull that is turned out with 25 cows/year is $63.14/cow. Interestingly, however, bull cost is not a huge driver in that equation. The difference of paying $3,750 for a bull and paying $5,250 for a bull doesn’t affect the service cost per cow that dramatically. In fact, the difference between a $3,750 bull and a $5,250 bull only moves the average cost per cow serviced by $9/cow. When one looks at today’s price levels and value differences, the higher-priced bulls are actually a whole lot better investment than the lower-priced bulls. If a $3,750 bull with the assumptions I used was turned out with 30 cows, his service cost was $45.12/cow. If he’s turned out with 20 cows, that jumps to $67.68/cow. Another way of looking at the impact of bull price is the impact of weaning weight. How much additional weaning weight would be required to justify paying $5,250 vs. $3,750/bull, assuming all other attributes remained the same? The difference was only 12 lbs. of weaning weight!

The right of property shall not pass until after settlement is made. McCormack Family Ranch reserves the right to require a certified cheque as settlement before releasing any sale cattle. Should the purchaser fail to settle for his purchase, McCormack Family Ranch reserves full power to resell the animal to the best advantage, either publicly or privately, without further notice. Any loss arising from such resale together with keep and all other expenses shall be payable by the defaulter. All settlements must be made with the clerks of the sale before any cattle will be released. The owners and sale staff have the right to refuse bids from anyone who has a previous record of default in payment and/or who has not made credit arrangements prior to the sale with the owners and/or sale management. Bid - Every animal consigned to the sale must be sold by auction. No by-bidding will be permitted. Each animal will be sold to the highest bidder. Disputes - In cases of disputes, bidding will be re-opened between the parties involved. If no further bid is made, the buyer will be the person from whom the auctioneer accepted the last bid. The auctioneer’s decision in such matters will be final. Purchaser’s Risk - Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as sold. Announcements from the auction block will take precedence over printed matter in the catalogue. Buyers are therefore cautioned to pay attention to any such announcements. Certificate of Registry - The proper registration or recordation paper, as the case may be, will be duly transferred and furnished to the buyer for each animal after settlement has been made. Shipping - Assistance will be given in making shipment after the sale, but sale management or seller assumes no risk. Expenses incurred are the responsibility of the purchaser. Purchasers are requested to furnish shipping instructions when making settlement. Guarantee - All animals will carry standard breeding guarantee as specified by the applicable Canadian Breed Association. At no time shall the seller’s liability exceed the purchased price of the animal. Exception to Guarantee - In cases where the animal is subjected to any hormonal or surgical reproduction techniques after the sale, the guarantee shall be null and void. In the cases of bulls, they are guaranteed to breed naturally according to applicable Canadian Breed Association guarantee, but no guarantee is given that semen from any bull will freeze. Health - It is the buyer’s responsibility to determine health requirements for importing any animal into his province or state. Accidents - Although every precaution will be taken to protect the safety and comfort of buyers, neither the sale management, auctioneer, or association assumes any responsibility in this matter and disclaims any liability legal or otherwise in the event of accident of loss of property. Rights and Obligations - The above terms and conditions of the sale shall constitute a contract between the buyer and the seller and be equally binding to both. Resale of animals following purchase in this sale shall constitute a separate transaction and the rights and the terms and conditions for this sale do not cover obligations of the two parties connected there to.
