WELCOME TO OUR 6th ANNUAL
2 YEAR OLD RED ANGUS BULL SALE MONDAY, MARCH 4, 2024 | SALE AT 2:00 PM AT THE RANCH, CYPRESS COUNTY, ALBERTA Join us for lunch around noon prior to the sale!
Consider this your personal invitation to our 6th Annual Bull Sale. Getting to know our customers is definitely a highlight of our business. Thank you for trusting us to be an integral part of your operation. Our bull development program begins the day they are born! Our calves receive no creep feed, and are raised by their mother grazing crested wheat grass and native pastures until weaning the first part of October. At weaning, the calves receive a balanced high roughage TMR of hay/silage/bull developer ration/mineral. The bulls are then summered on grass as yearlings until early fall, when they receive a similar balanced high roughage TMR ration until sale time. We believe in developing bulls with longevity in mind and as two year olds they are ready to go out and breed a full compliment of cows right out of the gate! The bulls will be sorted and penned for viewing sale day. Join us for a live auction video sale hosted by DLMS. For online bidding, sign up with DLMS early to give time for bidder approval. Contact one of the sale day numbers to bid over the phone. And, for Sight Unseen Purchases, please give Lust Farms a call. We encourage you to stop in for a visit and view the bulls anytime. Just give us a call so we can have the coffee hot!

Welcome to the Lust Farms Bull Sale! The Perlich family and staff are proud to conduct the Lust Farms bull sale for another year. They have another set of outstanding Red Angus bulls! The quality of these breeding bulls represents their commitment to the Angus breed and the cattle industry. This family has been ranching since 1944 and their bulls are raised and conditioned with you the producer in mind. The calf crop generated from Lust Farms Red Angus bulls will give you the least amount of hassle and the most amount of pounds in the fall.

Welcome from Castlerock! Lust Farms is again putting their full efforts in providing you, the valued customers, their very best in genetics that have been carefully developed over the last couple years. These bulls, like many operations, haven’t been blessed with an over abundance of green grass yet have continued to thrive as the genetics they’ve been selected for are a great fit in this environment.
CALVING EASE LEVELS
We are often asked which bull will work on heifers so we have implemented a scale based on the bull’s BW, his physical characteristics and his dam’s past calving history. This is only a guideline and you must take into account your herd and the size of your heifers at calving. 1 Recommended for mature cows only, not recommended for heifers 2 Recommended for use on cows or large framed heifers 3 Recommended for heifers, should be easy calving with minimal assistance required 4 Recommended as a sleep easy heifer bull Catalogue and videos online at www.lustfarms.ca
New sire group to the bull pen this year is the LWNBRG Infrared 47H bull who was selected as one of the top selling bulls that day, stemming from a tremendous cow and that’s where it all begins! Look for these bulls to show a pattern of overall balance, pattern and soundness with the mindset to do a lot of things well which equals to better breeding success. This offering has cleared a number of hurdles getting to sale day and at Lust Farms you can be sure these bulls are scrutinized on a daily basis to offer a high quality product. Stop by the farm prior to the sale to evaluate the bulls at your leisure, videos will be online before the sale allowing you to study them from the comfort of your own home. Any questions on the offering feel welcome to contact Neal, Sheila or ourselves at Castlerock Marketing. We would be happy to answer any and all of your questions. See you sale day! Shane Castle

From the desk of Dr. Dayman, Bull selection comprises the largest proportion of calf crop genetics, so it’s crucial to select a herd sire that can produce the calves you want.
At weaning, animals that are selected for the bull program also receive two doses of a footrot vaccination (Fusogard), as well as additional viral and clostridial boosters.
Lust Farms takes pride in raising cattle that are ready to work, and the health program they have implemented fully supports that.
This herd health program merges well with the Lust’s practical nutritional approach, ensuring longevity in legs and feet.
Starting with a solid foundation within the breeding herd, the females receive preventative 5-way viral (Bovishield Gold FP5 VL5) and 8-way clostridial vaccinations (Covexin Plus). This method not only protects the cow herd but lays crucial groundwork for their calves’ immune function.
Combined with the genetics, conformation and disposition meticulously selected for by Lust Farms, Neal & Sheila provide an excellent selection of bulls to choose from. Sincerely,
Dr. Krista Dayman At branding, calves are given a 5-way viral vaccination with Mannheimia hemolytica (Bovishield Gold One Shot) and an 8- (403) 878-4545 way clostridial with tetanus (Covexin Plus).

60K’s dam has proven herself over the years as one of the top cows in our herd indexing 102 on her 7 weaned calves. Doesn’t seem to matter which bull we breed her to, she gets the job done. Calving Ease Level 2

One of the youngest bulls in the offering but he’s a good one! He is long bodied with a great hip on him. He weaned off his 3 year old dam as the heaviest bull in the group at 782 pounds to give him a WI of 120. His young dam did it again last year weaning off an Upshot heifer calf with a WI of 114.
Consistency runs deep on both sides of the pedigree. Calving Ease Level 1

Infrared caught our eye as an easy fleshing bull that was deep bodied with a lot of eye appeal. But, when we walked him and saw his impeccable foot and leg structure we knew he was a bull we wanted to add to our herd. Dennis’ high opinion of Infrared’s young dam sealed the deal on Infrared coming home that day.

We stepped outside of our budget a bit when we bought Badger as the lead off bull from Six Mile in 2020. But we couldn’t be happier with the results. Badger adds so much to the bull pen with calves that have added shape, bone and performance. His dam is also ELITE which only adds to Badger’s future as a great herd sire!

Firecracker is an easy fleshing Tradin Right son we purchased in 2019. The high seller that day, he’s the spitting image of his sire who we really admired from the V8U program. Firecracker indexed #1 with his impressive 735 pound weaning weight and he passes that exceptional growth along to his progeny.

It’s a great test to keep a home raised bull for yourself and put him up against the purchased sires. Falcon has held his own with the best of them. He adds a lot of shape and capacity to his calves all while maintaining the traditional Angus look.

Redemption was purchased in 2017 from Jade & Don Mackenzie of V8U Ranch as the 2nd high seller that day. He checked a lot of boxes for us - a desirable birth weight, great performance numbers, born out of a proven dam, and eye appeal to spare! We’ve used Redemption heavily and are so impressed with the progeny he’s leaving us.

Upshot 125D was the feature Mac Upshot son in Mackenzie’s 2017 sale. Upshot was a larger framed bull that brought a nice outcross pedigree to our herd. Upshot’s YI of 116 caught our eye sale day and he passed his above average yearling growth onto his progeny.

Glossary of Catalogue Information Performance Information: BW…Actual weight at birth 205d…205 Day Adjusted Weight
WI...Weaning Weight as a % of the average WW of the contemporary group
EPDs: The EPDs you’ll find in the catalogue are generated through the CAA AngusONE genetic evaluations, and are predicted breeding values that allow for fair comparison of animals across herds, regardless of environment and management differences. They are expectations of how an animal’s progeny will perform, on average, for specific economically relevant traits. AngusONE EPDs are comparable to all Angus cattle, both red and black in Canada, and US Black Angus cattle.
Calving Ease Direct (CE) EPD describes the percentage of expected unassisted births when a bull is exposed to first-time heifers. The higher the number, the higher the probability that first-time heifers bred to the bull in question will calve with no assistance. The EPD predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire's calves will be born when he is bred to first calf heifers.
Birth Weight EPD (BW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected progeny weight, on average. A bull with a BW EPD of +4 will, on average, sire calves that are 2 pounds heavier than a bull with a BW EPD of +2 (given equal management).
Weaning Weight EPD (WW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected weaning weight in progeny, on average. WW EPD is a predictor of a sire's ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. A bull with a WW EPD of +50 will sire calves that are, on average, 20 pounds heavier at weaning than a sire with a WW EPD of +30 (given equal management).
Yearling Weight EPD (YW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected yearling weight in progeny, on average. YW EPD is a predictor of a sire's ability to transmit post weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. A bull with a YW EPD of +100 will sire calves that are, on average, 30 pounds heavier at weaning than a sire with a WW EPD of +70 (given equal management).
Calving Ease Maternal (MCE) EPD describes the probability of not requiring assistance when a bull’s daughters calve for the first time. The higher the EPD, the higher the probability that a bull’s daughters will not require assistance at calving time.
Milk EPD (MILK) describes, in pounds, the portion of a calf's weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability. On average, daughters from a bull with a Milk EPD of +20 will contribute 5 pounds more to their calves’ weaning weight than the daughters of a bull with Milk EPD of +15. Milk EPD is a threshold trait that should be maintained at a moderate level dependent on the management and environment of the herd. The AngusONE EPD breed averages for calves born in 2022 are as follows:
