V8U Ranch - 52nd Annual Red Angus Bull Sale

We know that the last couple of years have been a challenge. Covid, an extreme lack of moisture, & ever- increasing input costs have tested us all. Through all of this at V8U Ranch we have continued to invest heavily into genetics to move ourselves and our customers forward. With a much smaller cowherd across North America, and a strong appetite for beef from the consumer globally, we strongly feel that the cow-calf producer is about to benefit from some brighter times ahead. Weather forecasters are expecting an end to La-Nina over the next few months which will also hopefully begin to improve our moisture conditions to some degree.

The Red Angus cow has been the foundation for the primary source of income on our ranch for over 60 years. Red Angus & Red Angus cross females have been highly sought after, and have often brought a premium to black hided females across North America. Red Angus Bulls have proven themselves as the true calving ease specialists while also delivering desirable growth, performance, & carcass quality. Within the next 2-4 years the beef industry will be looking to re-build the cow herd. We are confident that the Red Angus breed is the best choice both to supply the breeding female as well as to supply the sires to ensure calf viability & vigor at birth. With the value of all classes of cattle expected to improve over the next few years, we are convinced that the Red Angus sire is the best genetic hedge to capture the opportunity that will present itself.

Welcome to the 52nd annual V8U Ranch Bull sale. We’d like to thank our loyal customers for your continued support. We are passionate about the beef industry and the Red Angus breed. We continue to raise Red Angus bulls as it is rewarding to see our customers succeed. It is humbling to see many of our customers choose us to supply their bulls over multiple generations on their operations. We take the trust

WELCOME TO CANADA’S OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING Red Angus Bull Sale

that you have put in us to supply your breeding bulls very seriously. We need you and hope that you need us. We keep our customers priorities in mind when making our breeding decisions to ensure that you achieve your breeding goals.

Our focus has been to supply breeding bulls to the commercial rancher. We start from the ground up with feet and legs as a priority. We take a balanced approach to our genetic selection where we select for multiple traits in our herd sires. Our cows work for us under strict ranch conditions. We expect each and every female to raise a marketable calf each year and get bred back in a 60day breeding period while maintaining body condition. We have no time to mess with udders. We want calves that are born easy and get up sucking within a short time. Our ranch is located in the extreme southwest corner of Alberta. Our cows are accustomed to extreme conditions. They graze in deep snow, travel rugged terrain, and also live alongside large carnivores including grizzly bears, & wolves where they need to be good footed and sound to survive. Through all of this, docility is extremely important as all of the cows spend a night in the barn during our February calving season where the calves are all tagged, & weighed before heading straight back out to winter fields.

We are pleased with the bulls that we have on offer this year. As you’ve come to expect, they are a uniform set with many half brothers available. We continue to receive many compliments on the temperament of the bulls. They are handled with both horses and on foot. The genetics are predictable from over 60 years of selection with the added reliability of genomic enhanced epd’s using the Angus GS genomic test on every bull in the sale. They have been fed responsibly and will be ready to go. Please join us on Saturday March 18th at 1:00 in Fort Macleod where the bulls will be sold live through the ring in the same sale barn where they have sold for the last 51 sales. A complimentary lunch will be served prior to the sale. We will also offer live online bidding available through DLMS.

If you have any questions, please contact any of us our or trustworthy sales staff.

We look forward to seeing you at the sale.

In 2018 we purchased Bourne 709E at Westphal Red Angus in Montana. We were thrilled to acquire our pick from the 5L Bourne sire group which was the high selling sire group of the day. 5L Bourne has been siring high selling bulls across the United States over the last few years. Bourne 709E has become our senior herd sire. He consistently darkens hide colour. He is proving to be a tremendous female maker as the daughters have made great cows. At 6 years of age, he still has near perfect feet. He has been an aggressive breeder siring 28 Bulls in this years-pen through natural service. The Bourne sired bulls to date have been highly sought after in our sale.

BRED ROD Rawhide 7809E

Rawhide was the High Seller at the 2018 Rodgers Red Angus Bull sale. We selected Rawhide for some added frame size and performance. He has brought both along with tremendous performance EPD’s to back it up. Ranks top 1% for WW and top 1% for YW. Sire of the high selling Bull in our 2020 Sale. The Rawhide sired bulls in this year’s sale demonstrate the same performance as those in prior years. This will be the last opportunity to purchase a Rawhide sired Bull.

CRED JEWEL Desperado 181G

181G was retained from the 2019 set of calves. He himself had a 127 YW index back in 2020. He offers added length to his calves as well as leaves them attractive fronted. Should leave some daughters with extra milk production. A paternal brother to 181G was our high selling bull in the 2022 sale.

He has been used exclusively on the heifers for his first two breeding seasons. This will be the first calves to sell from this sire group. His first sons averaged 75lbs at birth while still bringing in strong performance averaging 681lbs at weaning all raised by heifers. He has demonstrated in his first year to sire the type of cattle that we are striving for. They are born unassisted, yet perform with the rest of them.

Angus GSTM sets the standard in genetic testing for Angus cattle.

• More power

TEST INCLUDES PARENT VERIFICATION

Angus GS testing is an investment that some Canadian Angus breeders make to enhance the information available to their customers. Genomic technology, specifically the Angus GS genomic test which was created for and by Angus specifically, contributes to:

1. More accurate EPDs, particularly on younger, unproven animals, and

2. EPDs for traits that are difficult or expensive to measure like tenderness, marbling, docility, foot angle, claw set, and feed efficiency.
