Directions
From Calgary, head north on QEII. Between Didsbury and Carstairs exits, turn west off the hwy on Westcott Rd. Pass the train tracks; head north on Range Rd 20. Sale is located in the black/white barn, first drive way on east side.
Terms
The terms of the sale are cash, cheque, wire or etransfer, payable on location or within 15 days following the sale to Dorran Cattle Co. The right of property shall not be exchanged until after satisfactory settlement has been made. Every group will sell to the highest bidder times the number of head in the lot; the auctioneer will handle any disputes if needed. Announcements from the auction block take precedence over printed or previously announced details. All monies are in Canadian funds.
Viewing
Summer evenings are a great time to come view the heifers on pasture. Call/text Ryan at 403-507-6483 to stop by for a visit! On the afternoon of sale day, heifers will be penned by sale lots at the barn.
Pregnancy/Health Verified
Dr. Adam Schierman, DVM, at Davis-Rairdan International performed ultrasound pregnancy examinations on all heifers. A 283-day gestation table was used based off the AI or natural service observation in combination with the dated ultrasound verification. Heifers have been on native pasture since the first of June and had free choice salt and mineral.
USA Buyers
We welcome U.S. customers. Transportation as well as health and export paper fees would be the responsibility of the buyer. Dorran Cattle Co. will help with arrangements. Contact Ryan before the sale for more information. Current U.S./Canadian exchange rate would put Americans at a significant advantage paying around $7,600 USD for every $10,000 CAD bid.
Transportation
Buyers are responsible for all transportation of sale purchases. We kindly ask that heifers are at their new homes by the first week of October. Dorran Cattle Co. may be able to provide some guidance and help line up transportation arrangements if needed.
Thank you for your interest in our 3rd annual sale!
How fast the years seem to be flying by! It seems like just yesterday we were building our barn and preparing for our first sale. Our boys continue to be more involved each year, and we are humbled by the previous support and success of our customers. Raising our boys in this industry, surrounded by good people, is priceless.
For the first time this year, we are offering progeny from heifers sold through our sale. If you have heifer calves you are willing to part with off of our sale heifers, be sure to let Ryan know. We would be interested in buying them back for next year.
Also, this year saw many successes with progeny from females sold. From an impressive 4-H carcass to a successful on-foot steer and high performing Charolais-cross calves out of our productive females has been fun to watch! Our heifers are also being utilized in many purebred herds as recipient mothers for industry-leading embryo transfer (ET) calves. Having quiet-dispositioned females with solid udders and good feet is sure a must when you are investing in an ET program. For us, the bonus is when they are fun to look at as well; we keep this in mind when we are selecting heifer calves each spring.
Dorran Cattle Co. heifers have been selected from astute cattle breeders across Alberta and Saskatchewan. Some of the breed-leading Simmental, Red Angus and Angus sires make up these pedigrees, helping you feel confident in these replacements to strengthen your own herd.
Heifers are identified by their Dorran Cattle Co. number and penned in lots of two to three head by type and calving date.
In the spring heifers were fed a high quality hay and AI synchronized to the calving ease, maternal giant SAV Early Arrival 0903. Having seen this bull when he sold and witnessing how he is performing, we believe Early Arrival will be a historically recognized, calving-ease sire with curve-bending performance. He’s very unique; it was an easy choice on how we wanted a majority of the group bred.
Accidents
Although every precaution will be taken, Dorran Cattle Company or any sale staff will not be responsible for any accidents or loss of property. Said parties assume no liability, legal or otherwise as a result of this cattle facility or auction.
We look forward to the fun you are going to have calving this group of heifers! We are very proud to present them to you on August 31!
