37 Annual Bull Sale th
SATURDAY APRIL 2, 2016 • 2:00 P.M.
Welcome
to the 37th Annual Towaw Bull Sale.
Last summer was a bit of a tough one across much of Western Canada and especially in our part of the world. Record drought through the spring stretched into early September and certainly made for a shortage of hay and made for a shortened grazing season. Our grain silage crop was quite decent and we were able to put together enough feed for the winter. On the plus side it sure has been a great winter so far for temperatures and the cow herd is doing well on a diet mostly made up of straw. It is times like these that we are happy to have such an easy fleshing cowherd. Even though the political climate has changed just a bit, we continue to get up each morning and do what we love for a living. Raising a family, and Angus cattle, in the best country in the world is a pretty good way to spend your days.

KIRK & JILL WILDMAN THOMAS, RYDER & REESE
Last year was an incredible one for record setting cattle prices! Peaking in September, we saw 650 lb. steer calves sell for nearly $2200. Even though things have corrected a bit it is still an incredibly profitable time to be in the cow calf business. The markets should be good for another couple of years yet, but this is also a time to look to the future when the prices may start to dip a bit. With the outstanding commercial market it has been easier for us to cull the bulls hard. Of the bull calves born in 2014, less than 50% are on offer in the sale. A big part of your bull purchase this year is not only his calves next spring, but also his daughters’ having their first calf three years from now. We have based our cowherd on the strong economic principles of fertility, longevity and easy fleshiness, and these traits are passed on to their sons. Towaw genetics are right for these times but will also not leave you in the lurch when every cow has to pay her way on a tighter budget. Once again this year Dave, Rhonda, Brooke and Bryce from Rainbow Red Angus are consigning a strong group of yearlings to the sale. We are continually impressed with how many miles and effort they put into their genetics. We have watched the kids, Brooke and Bryce, grow up before our eyes, and become very accomplished cattle breeders and showmen in their own right. Dave and his crew have always been a strong part of the sale and their exciting offering is chock full of new genetics highlighted by their embryo program. Kolby Heaven has been working with Rainbow, as well as our herd, and knows the genetics as well as any of us. All bulls in the sale sell with the same guarantee, and if a problem occurs please contact us so we can work to rectify the situation. We will be starting the sale at 2:00 pm MST. We feel this gives folks time to get things done at home and still have time to look at the bulls prior to the sale. If you can’t make it to the sale we have a sight unseen purchase plan as well as a number of sales staff that would be able to bid on your behalf. We are also working with DLMS who will have the sale broadcast on the internet. The DLMS information will be displayed on future pages where Mark Shologan and his crew can get you set up to bid online. Please join us for lunch prior to the sale, and a meal and refreshments after the sale as well. After a long build up to this day, it sure is nice to relax and visit with customers and friends, both old and new.

Glossary of Sale Information
ABBREVIATIONS
EPDs: Expected Progeny Differences
CE: Calving Ease, U =Unassisted BW: Actual weight at birth WW: Weaning weight in lbs. Adjusted to 205 days. WI: Weaning Index - Weaning weight as a % of average WW of contemporaries. YW: Yearling weight in lbs. - calculated as adjusted 205 day weight + (ADG on feed x 165 days) YI: Yearling Index - Weight gain from Weaning to Yearling as a % of average gain of contemperaries. AOD: The actual age of the dam when she calved the bull offered for sale.
EPD’s are a powerful tool that is available for making genetic progress. EPD’s incorporate the performance of the individual, along with the performance of all its relatives. CE: Calving ease - the higher number predicts more calving ease. BW: Birth. A lower EPD predicts lower birthweights. WW: Weaning. High weaning EPD’s predict higher weaning weights. YW: Yearling. Higher yearling EPD’s indicate greater expected yearling weights. MILK: Milk EPD should be used to predict the milking ability of the daughters of the bulls in question. Higher milk EPD’s project more milk.
NOTE: All Indexes are calculated within herds, as management may differ somewhat.
WEIGHTS AND SCROTAL MEASUREMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SALE DAY.
TOWAW & GUEST
Percentile Tables have been added this year to take some of the confusion out of the EPDs. A trait listed as 5% would mean that bull is in the top 5% of the breed for that trait. 49% would be slightly higher than breed average, while 51% would be slightly lower than breed average.

After some tough negotiating we purchased a half interest in Zeppelin in the spring of 2014 from Mike Macdonald ‘s Windy Hill Stock Farm in Saskatchewan. He was extremely attractive fronted, good footed, long bodied, big hipped and had that deep red colour that is so popular in Red Angus circles. He left us a set of calves that pattern very much like himself and have impressed breeders both here and down at Smoky Y Red Angus in Kansas. Unfortunately we lost Zep to injury last summer, so his legacy will have to live on in his progeny. We were able to put up some semen last spring and some of the top breeders in North America used him in their programs.

DAM OF LOT 1
FEATURE HERDSIRE PROSPECT Jimmy Page is named after the Led Zeppelin lead guitarist and he is definitely ready to lead a breeding program. We used him on a group of 25 heifers last summer and we are eagerly awaiting his calves in May. He is really long, attractive fronted, big testicled, stout hipped and deep red in colour. He has a huge ribeye, 15.3 actual, which also gave him an off the charts 66.6 Lean Meat Yield. His dam, a direct Indeed daughter, might be the best part about him as she is big ribbed, sound, milky and also exhibits that rich, red colour. He was our high weaning weight calf in 2015, and coupled with his 83 lb. BW, he is a heifer bull that will turn into a herd bull as he ages. We would like to use more of Jimmy in the future, so are retaining a 1/3 semen interest.

Calidad was our pick of the Brigadier sons we raised from embryos imported directly from Argentina. He is full of muscle and stays in good condition no matter how many cows we put him with. Calidad possesses a “true” Angus head, great footed, and is masculine throughout. He was used sparingly as a yearling in 2012, and produced the Champion Yearling heifer at Olds Fall Classic in 2014. His 2014 and 2015 group of calves have blown us away with their bone , muscle and correctness. His daughters are beautiful to look at and are laying down very nice udders with ample milk. His full ET brother is working in Grant and Tanya Chittick’s herd and they are excited about his offspring. Just this fall we sold the International Semen rights on Calidad to Semex Beef and we are excited to see how his genetics can make an impact around the world.

478B is masculine, thick and deep bodied, all put together in a moderate framed package. He has about as good a foot as you could put on a bull. If you want steers that will push down the scale and females that will produce on minimal inputs, this might just be the bull for you.

Kingman 7Y was a past high seller in our sale to Corona Creek Red Angus at $13,000. We were able to get an interest back in him to use on our cows and he left a real set of performance bulls. He is a lot like the old Kingman bull, but with more growth and power. He is deep ribbed, and muscular, with a big set of testicles. His dam is one of our best producing females and is destined for the donor pen.

These two Deep Red Soldier sons are full Embryo brothers from the great A-1 Sierra cow. She sold for $19,000 in the Wildcat dispersal in Kansas and has cut a wide swath down there with her progeny. She is a direct Indeed daughter mated with the really good SSS Soldier bull from Lazy MC and Triple S. His semen, when you can find it, sells in the $500 per straw range. These two bulls are really attractive, smooth made heifer bull prospects that should also leave a great set of daughters.

Malbec was a past high seller in our Sale to Glesbar Farms for $16,000. We were able to use him in our summer program, and he did a great job extending the legacy of his sire, Basin EXT, in our herd. His dam, Georgina 298R, is one of our best producing cows and has a son in the sale as Lot #15. She was flushed to Indeed and Tiger for Argentina and her progeny have sold well down there. She also produced a high selling Indeed daughter at Red Roundup for Wrights in Saskatchewan. Malbec has big growth, great maternal, and very good carcass numbers. He ranks in the top 1% for Marbling, Milk, TM, and Maternal Calving Ease.

We used 157Z on a group of first calf heifers in 2013 based on the calving ease his full brother gave us the year previously in the same role. His dam was also one of our best cows producing deep bodied, easy fleshing offspring. 157Z was deep and soft made and really gave us good performance in his sons with low birth weights. He sold in our 2014 Sale to Ed Yuha from Silver Valley. His full brother, Kingman 33Y, was one of our high sellers in the 2013 Sale to Ole Farms in Athabasca, and gained notoriety as being the deep bodied cover model on our catalog front page the last few years.

He is “numbered up” with great performance paired with a 75 pound BW. Check out the EPDs; he reads as good as any bull you are likely to find in the country.

TOWAW CATTLE CO.
37th Annual Bull Sale
Welcome from Welcome to another edition of the Towaw Bull sale. We’d like to once again thank our gracious hosts, the Wildman family, for allowing us to be part of this sale. The Towaw name has been instrumental in helping the red angus breed reach the status it is at today and we are honoured to be a part of their 37th annual event. We, at Rainbow Red Angus, are awfully excited for the direction our program is heading. Our goal has been and will continue to be, providing bulls to the industry that excel in traits of production. We feel these bulls will provide each buyer the means necessary to be profitable, with as few headaches as possible. As usual, we stand behind these cattle 100%. In the unlikely event that you have an issue, give us a call, we’ll make it right!
DAVE & RHONDA BABLITZ BROOKE & BRYCE
Providing you with the right bull for your operation is our mission, and although we’d like to talk to everyone, we know that not always possible. As a result this year we’ve added a calving ease score to the information provided with each bull in the catalog. The legend for this score can be found below. NATIONAL YOUNG CATTLEMAN 2015 SENIOR CHAMPION
As usual we hope to see everyone sale day, but If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call, or stop in to see the bulls and their dams anytime prior to the sale. See you sale day,
The Bablitz Family Dave, Rhonda, Brooke and Bryce Dave (780)785-9115 Kolby (780)778-1435

Flushmates
The next four lots are all flush mate brothers. They are full brothers to last year’s high selling bull Red Rainbow Transcendence 29B to TC Reds in Wisconsin, and also maternal siblings to the 2014 high selling bull to Meadowvale “M” angus and Phantom Farms. We had the misfortune of losing their dam this year and we are out of semen on their sire, Protocol, so there won’t be many more opportunities to acquire these genetics.

Crank is a Tank! He is the definition of a POWER bull. He combines true angus character, volume, mass, hair, large testicles, and natural muscle. We have not produced a bull that has the ability to grow like Crank does. Crank was destined to be our show bull for the fall, however he caught his nose ring the last week in October and it set him back a couple weeks (just imagine what he’d weigh if that hadn’t happened!).

Being a “no miss” cow is an extremely important characteristic and Red Rainbow Doll 34P definitely has produced her fair share of quality individuals. Most notably she is the dam to Red Rainbow Protocol 22Z, the sire of the 4 previous lots. Another maternal sib is also the dam to lot 73 in this sale. Guardian has the traits to become one of the most ideal breeding pieces we’ve produced and is a bull that will see use in our program.

The only Zeppelin son in our offering, but much like the Zeppelin bulls from Towaw, you will be impressed with the shear quality of this calving ease prospect. His mother is an outstanding young up and coming cow in our program with a gorgeous udder. She was a past high seller coming out of the Ter-Ron Farms program. Her first daughter was shown successfully by Bryce in junior shows last summer, claiming several division championships. 46C is a stout made, moderate framed bull that would compliment a group of Simmental or Charolais cross heifers.

Donation Heifer
This year Towaw will be donating a commercial, March born Red Angus heifer with the proceeds going to a very important charity that means a lot to us. The charity that the Donation Heifer funds will be going to this year is Make A Wish Northern Alberta. As many of you know, this charity gives children dealing with life threatening illnesses a once in a lifetime wish experience. Kids have been granted celebrity experiences, sporting event trips, backyard makeovers, RV’s, and the most popular wish, trips to meet Disney Characters. The volunteers and staff of this awesome organization do great things for many families in Northern Alberta that really deserve a break. Thomas was lucky enough to be granted a wish trip last April and he chose to go on a family vacation to Florida.
“If I had one word to describe the Make a Wish Foundation, that word would be awesome! That’s because everything about my trip was awesome. The parks were great and we also got a front of the line pass for each and every park. The Give Kids the World Resort was wonderful. The Blue Jays game was amazing. We were treated like royalty on the West Jet flights. This foundation is all about doing awe-inspiring things for kids who have gone through life threatening battles.”
- Thomas Wildman
We will sell tickets in the Dutch Auction Format, $10 per ticket, just prior to selling the bulls. For example, if you bid $100 you will get 10 chances to win the heifer in the draw immediately following the sale. Tickets will be available right up until the time of the draw as well.
