Wow! Here we are at our 3rd Annual Boys of Windy Knoll Online Bull Sale already! Time really is a thief. We would like to start off by saying that we are truly humbled and thankful that we have the opportunity to be apart of an industry that we love amongst breeders that inspire and support us. We’d like to say an enormously big thanks to all of the breeders across the country that showed interest, bid or bought bulls in our 2nd annual sale. We’ve immensely enjoyed hearing about their calves and how they’re performing.
WINDY KNOLL ONLINE bull sale Boys of
We continue to be very grateful for technology as we are in an area that doesn’t have huge numbers of cattle or cattlemen and one that’s not as easy just to pop in for a tour. DLMS and social media allows us to be able to reach a bigger audience and offer these elite gentics that we’ve been building on to fellow breeders. We strive to be transparent and represent them to you as close as what they would be if you were to come for a tour.
The set of bulls on offer sure have us excited! Most of them come straight from the heart of our ET program and they’re one of the most solid and consistent groups that we’ve ever raised!
We live and breathe this business and holidays are spent touring cattle, at cattle shows, or searching for cattle that we need to incorporate into our program from operations across the country. We have invested heavily the past few years in some of the best females, embryos, and bulls/semen that we could find that we felt fit the direction we need to go with our program and our customers programs. Each year we continue to see improvement in our calf crop and have had great feedback on our bulls and females so we feel that we’re definitely moving in the right direction.
In the past 20 years we have sold bulls to great commercial and purebred breeders across the country, into the US and even to Mexico. We were even honored to have our bulls in the Select Sires and Bouchard Livestock AI catalogues. But our real goal is to build relationships with our customers and have our bulls work for our customers and to put pounds in the right package to help them be as profitable as possible. The biggest reward has been seeing our bulls work in other programs.
We know that there isn’t a huge amount of cows around us in the Maritimes and while our main market has been to some of the very progressive breeders in the Maritimes in the past few years, we’ve also worked very closely with some great commercial herds in Quebec. Lately we have also sent bulls to Ontario, the prairie provinces and the US so are very familiar with the process. We know that it isn’t easy to buy sight unseen but we will have videos of all of the bulls that accurately represent them and have pictures of all the bulls and many of their dams. We will also work with customers to line up delivery anywhere in the most cost effective way possible and will definitely work with you on that.
We want you to get the bull that fits your cow herd and breeding program in the best way possible, so just send us a text or give us a call and let us know your needs and we will point you in the right direction the best we can. Or better yet, if you are in the Maritimes come for a tour and see the bulls in person and the cow herd that backs them!
Thank you for taking the time to look through our catalogue and please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

WKF Burn It Down 130M and WKF Pyro 124M hit you hard when you walk in the pen. They are a pair of homo polled, thick, deep bodied, soft made bulls that are extremely flexible and sound in their movement, with foot quality second to none. They stem from a long line up of tremendous, good footed, power females on both sides of the pedigree. Their dam, WKF Flirt 24J, is a 5th generation donor and is a massive bodied, easy doing female that consistently excels in every mating. Flushmate, WKF Flirt 121M, sold to Walsh Farms in the Ladies of Windy Knoll Online Female Sale last fall. We campaigned Burn It Down 130M at the Expo Boeuf Show, his only trip around the show ring and he was Champion Simmental Bull and finished off the weekend as Supreme Bull Calf. If you’re looking to add some performance and power to your next calf crop without sacrificing maternal merit to the daughters, these boys are for you!

RECOIL 51M
WKF Recoil 51M is a full brother and extremely similar to last year’s high sellers, WKF Winchester 2L and WKF Slug 3L that sold to Walsh Farms, Ranch Macandi ENR and Danny Bergeron. Recoil 51M is a big hipped, soggy, heavy haired, attractive made bull with lots of growth and performance with the added length that his donor dam, RF Flirt 824F puts into her calves. He was Reserve Supreme Bull at the Classic Heritage Beef Show and Reserve Champion Bull Calf at Expo Boeuf, behind Lot 1, WKF Burn it Down 130M. We utilized both Winchester 2L and Slug 3L heavy in our AI program last year and their calves are hitting the ground now and sure have us excited! They’re uniform, stout, big topped and hairy. If you’re looking to add consistency and performance to your next calf crop, this guy is for you!
Vernon 12M is a powerful, smooth made, big nutted, stout topped bull that goes back to the very productive Xia cow family. His dam is a dark red, broody, Red Force cow that is as deep as she is long. Lots of calving ease on the bottom side with Red Force, Shear Force and Gunner combined with the power and proven Betts sire on the top side makes for a unique combination and one that is sure to produce some highly marketable calves!

Loaded 133M is an upheaded March born baldie bull that grabs your attention when you walk in the pen. He’s a well balanced, long bodied, hairy bull with lots of performance and style to boot. His blazed face Westcott dam is a moderate, tanky, good footed female that goes back to the Chandor FF Maggie cow. His sire is one that we use heavily here and one that puts lots of middle with some look in his calves as we’re sure 133M will as well. If you’re looking for a bit of an outcross pedigree that’s going to add performance to your calf crop, Loaded 133M will get the job done for you!

WKF Stanfield 6M is a big time performance bull with a tremendous amount of presence and extra length and depth. He’s the heavyweight of the bull pen and has been a standout since birth. He started out with just a 93 lb bw and weaned off at 1065 lbs! He ranks in the top 3% for WW, 2% for YW, 1% CW, and 4% REA. His dam, WKF Flirt 9J, is a moderate framed, big ribbed cow with a tidy udder out of our prolific donor, RF Flirt 824F. The pedigree on this guy is stacked and one that we feel is different enough that we intend to use him on our Caliber daughters. A maternal brother sold to Maplehedge Farms in last year’s sale. If you’re looking to add some length, style, and pounds to a calf crop and want to keep all of the daughters, Stanfield 6M is for you.
WKF REVELRY 90M
WFL
WKF Revelry 90M is high up there on our list of favourites. He is a long spined, phenotypically outstanding bull that is loaded with muscle and is homo polled and black. He’s the real deal, and is a mating that is tried, tested and true as we have used a full brother here and have sold full brothers to Circle Z Farms, Danny Bergeron, Stewiacke River Farm and Guillaume Paradis. The pedigree is packed full of generations of big ribbed, beautifully uddered, good footed donors on both sides. A full sister, WKF Flirt 54L, entered our donor lineup last spring. An exciting mating out of her sells as Lot 13. If you’re looking to add some look, length, performance and have an awesome pen of uniform replacement females, check out Revelry 90M.

Whirlwind 85M is a soft made, deep middled bull with great hair and is sound from the ground up. He has been a pen favourite right from the start for his docility. 85M is an end of January born performance bull that started with just an 81 lb BW and boasted tremendous growth weaning off at 1015 lb on September 13th! His epd’s rank him in the top 5% for WW and 10% YW. His dam, SVS Sadie 818F is one that we had to own when we saw her at the FNL sale. She was not only out of a cow family that was backed by high volumed, beautifully uddered, highly productive donors, but encompassed the power that we chase in cows and has since turned into a bold ribbed, good uddered brood cow. We have retained the females out of this mating and sons have sold to Rockpyle Farm and Ranch Macandi ENR. If you’re looking to add pounds and uniformity to your calf crop, Whirlwind 85M is your man!

His full sister, WKF Flirt 77L, is a force to be reckoned with and one that we feel is going to do big things.

After much thought, we’ve decided it’s time to offer some frozen genetics out of one of our elite donors, RF Flirt 824F. When we invested in Flirt 824F our plan was to make her into a donor cow and build a cow family around her, and we’ve done exactly that. She is an absolute powerhouse and has been a workhorse for us, with 25 registered calves to date and more on the ground. She’s royally bred, with a stacked pedigree of highly productive donors. Her dam is a full sister to RF Merchant and her sire is a maternal brother to RF Caliber. Flirt 824F throws incredible length into her calves, along with extra stoutness and does that while maintaining extra style. Her Full sib daughters to this mating that we have here in production have explosive rib shape, impeccable udders, and stand on an awesome foot. Her sons have proven to be valuable breeding pieces and have gone on to work in numerous herds throughout Canada and into the United States. This mating to the $90,000 RF No Limits outcross breeding sensation is one that will land you some highly marketable progeny.

We feel that Flirt 034H might've just been the buy of the FNL sale the year we landed her. We had seen her massive bodied, strong uddered, good footed dam, RF Flirt 614D on a pasture tour and had also seen her sire, IPU Bentlley in stud and straight away knew the potential that she had in her. Never did we imagine that she'd turn out as exceptional as she has and really feel that her story is just starting. She has matured into such a beautiful, big bodied brood cow with a ton of presence. She has an exquisite Dew North daughter here in production, and sons have sold to J.M. Larsen Farms Inc and Ran Mar Farms, along with embryos to Dusty Rose Cattle and Quarter View Ranch. This mating to the $150,000 RF Caliber is a powerful, no miss mating and one that you’ll want to keep every daughter out of. We have a set of flushmates on the ground this year that are extremely hairy, stout little rascals with the Caliber heads that he tends to put on them and love and let me tell you, they're the kind that if you're having a bad day and you walk into the barn and have a look at them, you think to yourself - i'm doing the right thing and just stand and appreciate them in awe and all of your troubles seem to go away momentarily. Come check them out,we promise you will be wowed just as much as we are.

Here is an exciting opportunity to acquire genetics on the matriarch of our fullblood program! We once again have opened up the Doris 43U frozen genetics vault. Although she is starting to show her age, old Doris 43U is one that you really admire when you see her in the flesh, she's as deep as she is long and has given us some standout females and highly marketable bulls over the years. At 16 years of age she is still roaming the pastures and being flushed. She prowls effortlessly on a perfect foot that has never been touched. Back when we would drag 20 fullbloods out to the shows, Doris was in her prime and bulldozed her way through the rings claiming a couple Supreme banners for us. This exciting mating to Bar 5 SA Harrach is one that clicked very well on her here. She has a standout bold ribbed, big bodied natural daughter here in production that we love and the reason behind flushing her this way in hopes that we could make more like her.

He’s spent time breeding commercial herds for Ranch Macandi ENR and Orchard Hill Farm and the calf crops have been outstanding!

WKF Rumours 53H
“We were pleased with both the knowledge Laura has of her cattle and the quality of all the bulls when we went to look at them. The bull we ended up with works very well on our angus based cows. He gives us feeder steers that will top the market as well as those desirable replacement heifers to maintain and grow a cowherd."

“In the spring of 2024 we were on the hunt for a big time simmental bull to service our best set of simmental 3 year olds to date. When the boys of Windy knoll catalog was flipped to the lot 1 bull we knew the search was over. Cherry red baldie bull packed full of performance and backed by an elite cow. WKF Winchester 2L demonstrates the ideal build to produce scale hammering bull calves and leave high producing females to build a herd around. He exhibits a perfect foot structure and a temperament a toddler could lead around on a halter. His first few calves have came with ease and we can't wait to see what the future holds for them!”
