REFERENCE SIRES

We are over 20 years along in our journey of genetic progress and have learned many lessons on the way! We’ve learned that there is no such thing as a “free lunch”: not in physics, economics, or in producing beef cattle. The math is simple. The more time and money you invest into your cattle the more you must get out of them. Solar Energy and Hybrid Vigour are the closest things we have to a “free lunch”, so we need to maximize their cumulative benefits, with cow herds that efficiently turn low quality forages (grass) into high quality protein (beef).

Before the drought of 2021, winter or summer, our cows have taken care of their own daily needs for over a decade on a zerostarch, forage-only program. We have used this as a selection pressure on our cow herd. Not all cows are built to thrive and rebreed on a forage-only diet. We have moved forward with the cow families that remain. They are fertile, moderate 1250lb cows that maintain excellent udders while calving on pasture, and carefully mother their calves!

To build on a foundation of longevity, we use Herdsires that have dams and grandams that have produced calves well into their teens. The oldest dam (recently departed) would be 20yr old OCC Dixie Erica 693N and her dam produced until she was 19yrs old.

Reproduction is the most important factor affecting profitability. We have tightened the screws on reproductive longevity by shortening our breeding season and using multi-sire breeding groups. Heifers are exposed to bulls for 45 days, and the cows see bulls for 50 days. The two main cow herds had Angus bulls for the first 30 days, and a Fleckvieh bull for the last cycle—thus ensuring only the most fertile females produce offspring that we select purebred parent stock from. Multi-sire breeding groups ensure that the most fertile bulls get the job done — another step in improving fertility. After all, reproduction is 5x more important than growth rate, and 10x more important than carcass quality when it comes to your profit.

Our gene pool stems from proven descendants of renowned maternal bloodlines such as Traveler, Emulation, Shoshone, Quantum & Wye that have thrived in low-input environments across the continent. We stack cows and cow families in our pedigrees that have raised calves every year into their teens. This enables us to offer a more consistent pen of bulls every year: prepotently bred bulls which stamp a consistent pen of calves, including daughters that can be counted on to become reliable mama cows.

Cattle have vast complexities & wide-ranging genetic expressions in differing environments. Pursuing profitable, ranch adapted cattle requires the same maternal performance traits, no matter where you are. With the complexities of genetics, we rely on animals that have performed in the environment we ask them to, to show us who to select as breeding stock. This method of selection has taught us a lot over the years.

Our cattle are not perfect. But they are bred for a specific purpose. Time and experience has shown performance and carcass EPD’s can not guide the selection of a functional cowherd in real-world conditions, and are in fact antagonistic traits to fertility, longevity and functionality in the cow herd. Many breeding programs claim their bulls can do all things - Maximizing growth and offering maternal greatness in one package. There is no moderate-framed cow herd that comes from using bulls bred for maximizing growth. You can’t get a 1250lb cow if the bred heifer is weighing 1250lbs. Same goes for the bulls you use - 2yr old bulls should not weigh 1800-2000 lbs if you expect their daughters to be moderate. Form Follows Function!

Feeding big cows means big maintenance(feed) costs every year. Bigger weaning weights ideally will be achieved from using the benefits of hybrid vigour and Terminal Sires being mated to moderate cows. Keeping replacement heifers out of Terminal (growth) bulls that have never been selected for cowherd FERTILITY will steal your chance at optimizing profit, it results in reduced fertility and cow-herd frame size creep that costs you more to feed every year! Terminal-Maternal Crossbreeding systems are the most efficient way to produce beef cattle. Profitability falls by the way-side when chasing maximum production levels.

Our bulls are bred with generations of fleshing ability, fertility, capacity, correct feet, longevity and udder quality. Edie Creek bulls will sire calves that are born easily and nurse quickly.

They will establish an efficient, maternal “Cowherd Factory” from which you can then mate with terminal sires to add hybrid vigour performance and the “flavour of the day” in hide colour. Doing this will create a functional, long-living cowherd able to wean calves with maximum efficiency in your commercial ranch environment.

When you buy 2-year-old bulls from Edie Creek Angus, you get a carefully developed breeding bull. You can turn these Rugged 2-yr olds out and expect them to breed more cows than yearling bulls & come back in better shape. They are more durable and last under real-world breeding conditions. Longevity is as important in your Herd Bulls as it is in your cowherd! By developing them for an additional year it allows us to sort them in our pastures instead of yours.

Increasing the profitability of the commercial cattle producer is the focus of our breeding program.

We really enjoy talking about beef production, so please give us a call or stop by for a tour and we can talk about beef production systems, our breeding program, or any of the cattle for sale.

Edie Creek Bit Time 12j

Edie Creek Big Time 848C did a lot of things right: his dam 693N lived to be 20yrs old. And you wouldn’t find a 4yr old cow that had better feet than her. ECA 12J is the leadoff-bull type: a massive chested, big-middled, long-spined herdsire looking bull that has the right structure to make awesome cows. He will bring forward the traits needed to push cattle to work for you.

Edie Creek Big Time 29j

His dam, Melisa 509, is a maternal sister to our Reference sire MH Titan 752. Titan bred cows until he was 13yrs old. We have a maternal brother to this bull, a Sinclair Executive son, working as a herdsire in our Howrey Angus herd in ND. Most of the maternal grandmas in this pedigree raised calves into their teens. Despite a higher birthweight, 29J will calve on cows very easily, he is built smoothly. A balanced and complete forage-efficient type of bull.

Edie Creek Big Time 40j 3

Another excellent Big Time 848C son with a strong top & long spine. He has a nice square hip on him and a big rib cage. Lot 3 puts it all together with a fluid stride. Very correct-made bull. His dam is a nice Dixie Erica female with a wide muzzle and firm udder attachment who is registered in the US but not Canada. She is a neat combination of practical, renowned Angus genetics.

Edie Creek Great One 64j 5

64J is another great looking 77F son with good length and strong top. He is very correct made and will make some beautiful cows! The Flora cow family is one of our best. They are beautifully feminine cows with some added frame size. They are attentive mothers that get the job done when it comes to raising calves. ECA 24C has that great Bonsma wedge-shape.

Edie Creek Great One 65j 4

65J is an outstanding herdsire candidate. He is very smooth & strong topped, with great pelvic structure and great feet. Frances 186 was a picture perfect Titan daughter. She had tidy feet and udder with great fertility. Great One 77F has proven to get extra cows bred and is making perfect udders on his daughters. This bull has the potential to be every bit as good a bull as MH Titan 752. If we didn’t already have an excellent 77F son out our 606S cow, we would be keeping this bull. Unfortunately his mother died on pasture and we did not get a DNA sample from her. So it might not be possible to register calves out of this bull in Canada, but it could be done in the American Angus Association.

Edie Creek Great One 83j

Smooth-made Heifer Bull with a definite calving-ease skull structure. Our 77F daughters have impeccable udders. 83J should fix udders and feet. Maternal grandam 606S is the most Fertile cow we have ever had. True low maintenance genetics here. Its not every day you will find a bull out of an OCC Moonshine daughter.

Edie Creek Great One 86j

11.0

A more moderate-framed, smooth-fronted Heifer Bull with excellent feet just like the rest of the 77F sons. Excellent foot/ leg quality from all sides of this pedigree. 3/4 brother to the lot 6 bull. Maternal brother sold last year to Kody Aesoph, South Dakota.

Lots 8 and 9 are another pair of 3/4 brothers. 25J has been a standout bull since he was very young, and is now a thickmuscled stud with a very square hip. Dam 25Y is a 12yr old cow who will calve this year with her 11th calf. She has calved first cycle 8/10 calves to date.

Edie Creek Great One 134j 9

3/4 brother to the lot 8 bull. He is a very impressive herdsire prospect. 18Y has been a very productive cow for us. She had an eye-catching son in last year’s sale that sold for $8,000 to Daniel Peters.

Big-barrelled Heifer Bull! If you liked the Easy Red sons we had in past sales, this bull will bring all the Easy Red traits forward more consistently than others we have sold in the past. He is the result of a half sib mating that will reduce the variables in the genetic pool. Please note that his dam died on pasture and we did not get a DNA sample from her, so 51J can’t sire registered purebred calves in Canada. One of our Red Angus Herdsires ( ECA 19F ) is a full brother to the 93G cow, and we co-own him with Gemstone Cattle co.

Red Edie Creek Red Grazer 115j

Heifer Bull for sure. This dark red rascal is stout with a good square set of hips and great feet. The rest of the red bulls in this sale are all 3/4 brothers. Sired by Red Grazer 8E and all out of OCC Easy Red daughters. If you’re looking to create a consistent group of red calves, buy 3 or 4 of these 3/4 brothers!

EPD’S CED: BW: WW: YW: MILK:

F1 FleckAngus Bull with a powerful herdbull presence. He has a wide muzzle but narrow skull, so he should calve easily. He strides out well, has good scrotal shape, and is surprisingly tall considering his moderate parents. We don’t have a cow in our herd who has weaned a higher % of bodyweight than the dam of this bull. 71B is a friendly cow who is designated Elite by the Canadian Angus association. She is also the dam of our Herd sire ECA 31H, who will have sons in next years bull sale. We have debated about keeping this bull to use on our own cows.

“We have purchased bulls from Edie Creek for many years. The bulls have worked hard and have all proven that they are easy calvers. Just like we hoped, the calves bounce up full of vigor too. We like that the bulls are raised the way we ranch. Our feeding style is low input and the bulls have flourished on it. The Bouws have built a great business that we can trust and we plan to be a customer for a long time.”

-Marshall Rempel

Edie Creek Abesly 62j 18

F1 FleckAngus Bull. Impressive power and structure— bigger framed with a long spine. He moves smoothly and is built to breed a lot of cows. 3/4 brother to lots 15 and 16. Buy them all and enjoy the rewards. Maternal brother is working for Owen Taylor.

Edie Creek Full Bore 2j 19

Heifer Bull. We used this larger framed bull on a group of cows this past summer. He grew fast to weaning time and kept on impressing with his extra rib capacity & poise. He is strong-topped and square made, herd bull material for sure. Flora 74F is a nice young Big Time 848C daughter that has calved first cycle every year, and will have another bull in next years sale.

Flora 1B is Stefans favourite cow from the Flora family. Just take a look at that picture of her. She has calved 1st cycle every year, and all three of her bulls have made the sale. Her calves average 108 ratio for weaning and 108 for yearling wts. Her daughter 74F has the impressive lot 19 bull. This bigger-framed bull is almost showing some hybrid vigour: being a cross of Cole Creek and Ohlde gene pools. The 1100 Sire is new blood for us that we’re sampling due to the shared goals of the Cole Creek breeding program. Lot 20 will make 1350lb cows that are very fertile and productive. Maternal brother is working for Marshall Rempel.

Heifer Bull. This is Jaxon’s bull. ECA 52F is a great young cow who always comes up for a scratch in the pasture. She has perfect feet and udder, & has calved 1st cycle every year. This cow and her dam are one of the earliest to shed off in the spring.This bull is well put together: moderate, good feet & well muscled. He is smooth shouldered and will make calving a breeze. Maternal brother sold last year to Mike Slepicka.

Heifer Bull. 71J is a really moderate framed bull with lots of rib depth and smooth calving ease build. He would also be useful in a grass-finished beef program. Lot 22 has quite a bit of linebreeding in his pedigree as well as a lot of cows that raised calves into their teens. ECA 137F is a very easy fleshing, moderate cow with a tidy udder.

Smooth-fronted Heifer Bull. Here’s a bull from the Frances cow family. His dam is probably one of the smallest cows in our herd weighing 1070lbs at age 4. She weans a high % of her bodyweight and has raised another great bull calf after this guy. The moderate frame is key both for reducing frame size and efficiency/finishing on grass!

Edie Creek Full Bore 103j

BORN 1ST CYCLE? •

23

Really nice bull here: deep chested, thick, muscular, deep hip on him with a good set of testicles. Our dedicated maternal program is based on cows that perform without crutches. Few breeding programs require their heifers to breed as yearlings on a forage-only diet in a 45 day window. ECA 106E is a great example of the kind of cows we are striving for. She has gotten over the ever-challenging hurdle of rebreeding as a 2 yr-old cow, & has done it by calving 1st cycle every year, raising great calves. Last year her son sold to Kody Aesoph, SD.

Edie Creek Full Bore 85j

Another bull out of a cow that has calved first cycle every year. Sire 34F is a son of our most fertile cow 606S, so you can up++ your fertility game in your cowherd with this guy. Despite an 88-lb BW, this guy is made long and smooth with a clean shaped head on him, so he’ll calve very easily on cows. He is long-spined, with great feet under his nice square-cornered hips. A breeding machine, if you will.

Edie Creek Titan 99j 27

This smooth-headed cow-making specialist will bring the best of what we can offer for longevity traits. He has a 3/4 brother working at the MBFI herd north of Brandon, MB. The original Lady Erica 1652L cow raised calves until she was 18 and OCC Dixie Erica 693N punched her ticket at age 20. Both cows had impeccable feet & weren’t ever lame. Our program is not claiming maternal performance through the man-made accreditation given by EPD’s. Our cows prove it them selves & our selection bias towards teenage ancestry cements that functionality.

Edie Creek Titan 96j 26

96J is a larger framed bull with a good strong top line and great pelvic set to him. He also has excellent feet as his sire 1F came from 2 of the best-footed individuals you could find: MH Titan 752 & our old 693N donor cow… By no coincidence, those 2 parents of 1F were very long-lived as well at 13 & 20 respectively. 96J’s dam ECA 66W is a great example of what an OCC Legacy daughter can do. She is 14yrs old now, and has been a very profitable cow for us.

Big bodied bull out of a productive Lady Erica cow. 59J has been a looker since he was a calf. ECA 15Z has had multiple high selling bulls in our sale over the years. She is an 11yr old cow that is pregnant with her 10th calf. Great wedge shaped cow.

This bull is an absolute power house: long spine, good hind quarter, and great feet that carry him on fluid strides. Sire 77F makes excellent udders, and his dam 629 has a good udder considering how well she milks. With his dam being a daughter of Full Bore, his calves will have a little more bone and power than most. There is some good longevity in this pedigree as well, since the 084 Granddam is still going in the Howrey Angus herd in North Dakota at age 13.

Red Edie Creek Red Grazer 146j 32

146J is a nice bull with a great hind quarter, deep chest, strong topline, and good testicles. The Red Angus breed certainly has its struggles. Poor feet and udders are endemic throughout. We have a small Red herd that with time we believe will be one of the greatest assets in the country for low input, grass farmers.

Heifer Bull. Another nice long-spined, deep chested bull with good feet and a strong topline. Dam is a big-middled Easy Red daughter. We bought the Calvo Red Grazer 8E bull from Calvo’s in Nebraska. He is now owned by Gemstone Cattle Co.

Optimization to your environment is a key to profitability.

Edie Creek 142j 38

Not Registered. When we brought up Howrey Angus heifers 7yrs ago, there were a few that we couldn’t get registered in Canada, and the dam of this bull is one of those cows. 621 is a very easy fleshing cow with great capacity & fertility. This bull has a great temperament & excellent feet, and he displays good masculinity. Keeping heifers from this bull will improve your herd’s low-maintenance traits. His sire is either ECA 1F or ECA 77F.

“Over the years we have bought 16 bulls sight unseen from Edie Creek Angus. We trust their breeding program. We have large, wet heavily treed pastures. The bulls look good and stand up well in these conditions. We have trouble free calving with strong healthy calves. We are also happy with our weaning weights.”

Edie Creek Great One 94j 39

Heifer Bull. Super long-spined with an expressive hind quarter, good feet & legs, and an excellent hair coat. His dam, ECA 21Z, is a wide-hipped, feminine 11yr-old cow that is a little bigger than our herd average, but she’s never been thin a day in her life. She’s also calved first cycle every year. If you want to improve the fertility in your cow herd, why not use a bull that’s had a dam who has calved first

Edie Creek Titan 111j 40

This bull will fix udders. His dam had pinky sized teats and a really great udder structure. His sire 1F should also make awesome udders on his daughters since Titan was an udder fixer, and 693N was the ideal cow.
