Moses Wildman homesteaded in the Cottonwood District near Innisfail, Alberta in 1887. The Wildman family has been ranching in Alberta ever since. Thomas Noble Wildman and his family moved to Millarville, west of Calgary in the late 1940’s and ran a ranch there until Thomas lost his life in an accident in 1960. David, his Mother Norma, and his Uncle Fred operated under the Wildman Ranches name, running a herd of commercial Hereford cattle. David and Gail Wildman were married in 1965 and sons David Jay (1966), Brett (1967) and Kirk (1972) were added to the family. In the foothills, spring chinooks created a lot of sunburned udder problems, and David went in search of Red Angus bulls to add pigment to the Hereford cowherd.
In 1971 the first bulls and females were purchased in Washington and Oregon and the purebred herd of TOWAW RED ANGUS began.
4
David and Gail were founding members of the Canadian Red Angus Promotion Society and Gail served as the secretary of that organization for the first 10 years. In 1974 David and Gail looked to expand the ranch and were intrigued by the Sangudo area, because, at that time, Lac Ste. Anne County had the most cows per square mile in the province. They ended up purchasing a property south and west of Sangudo that continues to be the home of current operations. They continued to operate in Millarville as well, until selling that ranch in 1977. Bulls were entered in the Bull test at Square Butte and sold privately in the early years to local operators. In 1979, Mogens and Grete Sander, and their son Allan moved to the area, and brought the well established herd of Blue Spruce and Tassel Red Angus with them. The marketing project of Sangudo Red Angus Breeders was quickly established and plans for a joint Bull Sale was put together for the Spring of 1980.
The 1ST ANNUAL BLUE SPRUCE/ TOWAW/TASSEL BULL SALE took place at the Towaw Sale Barn on April 21, 1980 and included 40 bulls. Guest Consignors included the Elliot, Snider, Kapicki and Scheideman families. The early years of the sale featured McIntyre Ranch, Bar K Ranch, LK Ranches, Hadco Ranch and Gordon Waldorf/Clover Farms as volume buyers. These first sales also saw purchases by folks that remain customers to this day; Murray and Patti Holt, Ken Carlson, Stan Halwa, David and Lynn Lathwell, Richard Lamoureux and Glen and Darlene Glessman.
CELEBRATING 40 YEARS
CELEBRATING OUR The Sale was held at Towaw until 1985 when the Sanders family built a heated Sale facility at their Ranch just south of the hamlet of Stanger. The sale was held at Blue Spruce until 1995 and featured over 100 bulls annually. The Sale was renamed “The Ranchers Choice Bull Sale” in those years and boasted to be Canada’s Largest Red Angus Bull Sale. Volume buyers in these years included Cross Bar Ranch, Charlie Phillips, Gang Ranch, and the Geinger Family. Smoky River Red Angus, Darrold and Jan Jensen, John Podolsky, Del and Sharron McConnell, W.M. Huppertz and Sons, Stanley Brothers, and Ray and Adelle Knudson also began a genetic relationship with Towaw that remains to this day. We might have hosted Canada’s Best Bull Sale Party back then as well as the Stanger Hall was rented to fit the group that had outgrown Mogens and Grete’s house. The second generation of Wildmans hosted not only customers but a strong group of young cattle fitters, college students and friends. A lot of friends made it up to the Sale over the years and the sale always seemed to bring on a snow storm, making it so people “just had to stay over”! In the summer of 1995 we built our own Sale Barn at the Ranch that we dubbed the Tundra Dome and

th SALE
the Sale partnership with the Sander Family ended. Towaw had their 17th Sale on Friday April 5th 1996, with Blue Spruce having theirs on the 6th . The Sale featured Red and Black Angus Bulls as well as Gelbviehs. The late Nineties and early 2000s saw quite a few changes as both Jay and Kirk were married and started their families. Simmentals were introduced, and the Gelbviehs were dispersed. Eventually the Simmentals were dispersed as well, with the intent on focusing on what we knew best, Red and Black Angus cattle. Brett and Traci sold their bulls with us for a few years and Dave and Rhonda Bablitz joined the Sale in 2001 and that partnership has remained to this day. We also enjoyed a marketing partnership with Charles and Holly Westerberg through the 2000s. Many longtime customers started buying bulls in these years such as Kidd Brothers Farms, Preuss Farms, Homeak Family, Gene and Jeannette Brown, Brian and Sharon Kriz, Commandeur Family, Wayne and Wendy Fischer, Helland Family, Heart T Holdings, Hamco Cattle Co., Alex Kononchuk, and Jim Zachkewich. Towaw also moved to a Summer calving program and started selling long yearling bulls and that remains the main focus of the herd to this day.

In 1998 Towaw started a “Donation Heifer” auction where a Commercial Heifer was pulled from the herd and sold to benefit the Mayerthorpe and Area Community Foundation. In 2006 we started selling $10 tickets on the heifer to let more people get involved. That year $4800 was raised to jointly help two families in our community that had suffered a loss, as well as MACF. In 2011 we joined up with the Canadian Angus Foundation “Baldy Fundraiser” that jointly supported the Kids with Cancer Society and the Foundation. Since then you, our customers, have given to many worthwhile causes through this program including: Make A Wish Northern Alberta, Ronald Macdonald House, Right To Play, Stollery Children’s Hospital, Sabres Cheer, Lac Ste Anne 4-H, and the Barrhead Community Cancer Centre.

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS
In celebrating 40 years of Bull Sales we wanted to acknowledge many customers and friends who left a huge impact on us and our program. These folks were excellent cattle breeders and were huge supporters of our program and our family. In making this list we certainly did not intend to miss anyone, these are folks who really left an impression. They are gone now but we believe they are in a better place where the grass is belly high and the heifers never get out of their pens. Merv Freeman, Weyburn, SK.

A huge thanks goes out to all the Sales staff and neighbours and friends, especially Millie and Don Schnurer, that have helped out over the years. It takes a village to put on a Sale for forty years and we could not have done it without you!

It has been a pleasure working with the crew at Towaw Cattle Co. in 2018. They understand the value of building a sound nutrition program from the ground up. We focused on foraged based diets and proper mineral nutrition to maximize the potential of the Towaw breeding program. The bulls were fed a high percentage of high quality forage and supplemented with the proper minerals, vitamins, protein and energy sources. Bullseye has partnered with Towaw Cattle Co. to distribute our Bullseye nutrition products. Feel free to reach out to Kirk for any inquiries. Good luck to the Towaw Crew on sale day.

to the 40 th Annual Bull Sale
A lot of things have changed since we had our first Bull Sale in 1980, but some have stayed the same. Politically, we were in quite a good place with Peter Lougheed running our province, while now, maybe not so good. Federally, Pierre Trudeau, was a month into his second run as Prime Minister, and for those too young to remember how that went, please Google the National Energy Program. It sure looks like the apple has not fallen far from the tree when it comes to our current Prime Minister. We have a voice to be heard in the next year both provincially and federally, I sure hope we make it count. Technologically and socially we have faced a lot of changes, but through it all the Angus Cow has pulled our operation through. She has kept food on our table and positively impacted the operations of our customers. We spent the last couple of weeks going through 40 Years of Sale Catalogs, Results and Buyers Lists. Here is an excerpt from our first catalog in 1980: “Over the years, we have selected and culled heavily, for total performance cattle. That is, cows that will calve annually, unassisted, from 2 to sixteen or seventeen years of age. They must have mothering ability, sound udders, small teats that a calf can easily start. Their calves must have the desire and fight to live, and be able to grow and develop, and sell with today’s market demands in mind. The ability breed: calvability, liveability, growability and saleability.” I think this says a lot about the Angus breed and what we believe in as cattle producers. At the base level, we must test our genetics in a no frills environment, because in the vast majority of cases that is where they are going to
14
work. Bulls must be genetically bred to get your cows bred and be sound enough to do that job quickly and efficiently. The resulting calves must be vigorous, saleable, and in the case of replacement females, able to produce and last for many years in your herds. We feel our strict policy of culling and genetic improvement will produce bulls that get you those results. A lot of fads have come and gone in forty years and certainly frame size is one thing that has fluctuated. The mid eighties to mid nineties saw some late maturing, tall cattle that turned out to be not as efficient as they needed to be. I think we have developed cattle since then that have got to be more in tune with their environments. As we get a larger and larger population in this world that needs to be fed, agricultural land is going to become more and more scarce. Beef cattle are going to have to produce on more and more marginal land with minimal inputs. We believe we have stacked generations of breeding into producing cattle that will fit that bill. All bulls in this sale have passed a semen test and carry a satisfaction guarantee. As they are virgin bulls please observe your bulls early in the season and let us be the first to know if you are having any problems. It is much easier to fix something a month in than 8 months later. The Sale will start at 2:00 sharp 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 available to bid on your behalf. We are also working with DLMS who will have the sale broadcast

Please join us for Lunch before the Sale, and a Meal and Refreshments after.

Hurricane was purchased from Wilbar Farms in 2016 for $17,500. We really wanted to inject the great Wilbar Cora cow into our herd and getting a son by the highly proven maternal bull Hustle was a great way to do it. He really reminds us of our old Lancer bull; sound, deep and easy fleshing. 4 sons sell in this years sale.

This deep red rascal will be the heaviest bull in the sale on March 16th. He is powerful in his makeup, stout made and heavy boned. His dam is a direct daughter of Expansion 5E and is a larger framed, productive cow. This cow bull should weigh close to a ton on Sale Day and compete with any performance bull in the country while maintaining strong maternal traits.

This guy is long and powerful with a moderate BW and top of the industry Calving Ease numbers. His dam, Georgina 59X, is an extremely productive cow. She has had 3 previous sons in the sale sell to Kidd Brothers, Gene and Jeannette Brown, and Preuss Farms and HR Hahn. She has two daughters in the herd and has averaged 111 wean index on males and 110 wean index on her females.

Jive has been a favourite since he was a calf with his correctness, great foot and complete structure. His mother is a picture perfect black Tiger daughter, out of one of our all time favourite cows, Sybil 4H. We used him on half of our replacement heifers last summer and he stayed in great shape. He measured 39.5 cm and passed his semen test at twelve months of age. We should have a couple calves by him by Sale Day from some of our winter heifers.

RESERVE CHAMPION FEMALE AT 2018 FARMFAIR Duchess is a daughter of Red Towaw Orazi Calidad 130Y, and many of the bulls in the sale are out of her paternal sisters. Thomas had an outstanding 2018 show season with Duchess; we encourage you to ask him about her on sale day.

DONATION HEIFER RED TOWAW SIM ANGUS 16F SIRE: RED TOWAW ORAZI CALIDAD 130Y BORN: MARCH 21 2018 FEBRUARY 1 2018 WEIGHT: 785 LB
Once again we will be selling a donation heifer, with all proceeds going to charity. 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.
THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS YEAR’S DONATION HEIFER WILL BE SHARED BETWEEN TWO WORTHY CAUSES, STARS AIR AMBULANCE, AND THE RICH VALLEY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY TO GO TOWARDS REBUILDING THE ARENA ICE PLANT.
A NOTE ON RED ANGUS EPDs Red Angus EPDs have been added to the Black Angus EPDs as of last summer, and thus Red Angus breed averages are very different from previous sales. We have listed our Red Angus EPDs, however they cannot be compared to any of our previously published EPDs, and there is concern with the accuracy of comparing them to the new Black Angus EPDs. Our Red Angus EPDs are best used at current time to compare within our own Red Angus herd, and to current Red Angus cattle EPDs. Current EPDs will be available on sale day or by request prior.

This bull was mothered by one of our best young cows. I say was, because she died when this calf was just under a month of age and he was on a bottle for over a month before we could graft him on another cow. That set him back quite a bit, regardless he has turned into quite the bull. Calving ease built into a stout muscled, highly maternal bull. What more do you need!

Rolex is a bull that has us pretty excited. He is the best of both worlds when it comes to his sire and mgs, arguably two bulls that have created as much excitement as any bulls in the breed in recent times. Dark red, cocky fronted, and big nutted just like signature and the calving ease and good foot from Assassin. His highly productive and fertile, first calf mother did an outstanding job raising Rolex to a 107 wean index, and she calved earlier this year with another 73 lbs bull calf. She has a great udder( see picture) and her dam was a donor cow that was productive to 14 years old and produced several high selling bulls, including the $22000 Protocol, and the $15000 Guardian. Rolex really puts it all together physically and has a puppy dog disposition. This is a bull we will incorporate into our own program. For those looking for a curve bending calving ease prospect that is backed by a great cow family, look no further.

STRAIGHT BLACK PEDIGREE. We weren’t really looking to buy black angus embryos, but I seen the 12 year old (at the time) dam of this bull and I was determined to get something out of her. Enter the hot, new SAV Renovation and the deal got sweeter. We managed to get this bull and a flushmate sister, and I’ll tell you right now it would take a big pry bar to get that one out of our hands.

THE JOINT VENTURE | 2019
JOINT VENTURE BULL WARRANTY
Towaw Cattle Co. and Rainbow Red Angus guarantee to sell you a bull that is structurally sound, and a bull that has passed a semen test conducted by a licensed veterinarian. In short, we guarantee to provide you with a sound breeding bull. If he hasn’t passed a semen test, he doesn’t sell. Should any animal fail to be a satisfactory breeder, he will be replaced with a bull of equal value. Should this not be possible, an adjustment will be made to reflect the bull in question, as a credit towards the purchase of another bull. In no case shall credit exceed the purchase price of the bull. We however, will not provide replacement or adjustment for physical injury or mismanagement. Bearing this in mind, we stress the importance of insurance on your bulls. Should you have a problem with your bull, please call us right away, and we will work with you to make sure you are satisfied with your bull.
SALE TERMS

Full possession entitles the new owner to all physical rights to the bull. As in any other information, announcements from the block take precedence over any written information in the catalog.

GLOSSARY OF SALE INFORMATION ABBREVIATIONS CE: BW: WW: WI:
Calving Ease, U =Unassisted Actual weight at birth Weaning weight in lbs. Adjusted to 205 days. 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 contemporaries. AOD: The actual age of the dam when she calved the bull offered for sale. NOTE: All Indexes are calculated within herds, as management may differ somewhat. WEIGHTS AND SCROTAL MEASUREMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SALE DAY.
EPDS: EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES EPDs are a powerful tool that is available for making genetic progress. EPDs 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 EPDs predict higher weaning weights. YW: Yearling. Higher yearling EPDs 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 EPDs project more milk. 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.
