Horner/Downhill/TSN Bull Sale 2023

Keystone Livestock Services

WELCOME

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Horner/Downhill/TSN Bull Sale. We are very honoured to be once again part of this top end Manitoba bull sale. These three operations are as progressive of breeders as you will find. They are all three very excellent breeding operations, and they strive to produce the very best seed stock possible. Purebred and commercial operations alike are going to want to pay attention to this bull sale! Once again the sale will be conducted through the DLMS Farmgate Timed auctions platform and will end with a horse race finish. Please join us for the open house or schedule an on farm visit with the consignors to view this tremendous set of bulls. Jake & Laura, Tyson and Evy will all be more than happy to tour their bulls with you or discuss your needs over the phone, do not hesitate to give them a call.

The bulls on offer are the right the kind for even the most critical of cattlemen. The bulls are stout, hairy, big middled, sound and good footed. These 3 producers are extremely particular in the genetics that they use. Every sire and dam is mated together for a specific reason, ensuring the offspring are as good as they possibly can be. On offer is a very nice selection of both red and black Simmental bulls, these are represented by calving ease and power bulls. Many of these also have that blaze face that everyone is after. There is also a small selection of Black Angus bulls of that is what you prefer. Please study the catalogue in depth because there truly is a bull here to fit everyone’s specific needs.

Everyone at First Class Cattle Marketing will be very familiar with the offering so please plan on giving us a call to discuss your herd bull needs with you. I also encourage you to call each one of the consignors directly to go over their offerings and set up an on farm visit. Each place will show you great cattle as well as great hospitality. If you have any questions about online bidding Mark Shologan’s number is also printed in the catalogue and he will be happy to assist you in whatever you need. Wishing you all a great 2023.

Welcome to the second annual Horner-Downhill-TSN Bull sale! It is with great excitement that we host this event at the Horner Bull Yard and welcome you to come join us yet again, Feb 26th-27th to view the bulls and for some hospitality. There will be a come and go hot meal served as well as beverages. The Horner Bull yard is located 25 minutes North of Brandon along highway #10. Turn North on to Service road 107, watch for the bull sale signs. We’ve been to lucky enough to be blessed with a great farming year. Albeit a wet spring and late seeding, pasture conditions held all summer and proved to be a recovery year for our grassland that had been drier then normal for so long. Crops yields were steady and we were lucky to put up a pile of feed. Jake and Laura got married on June 25th, after 2 years of delay; in front of their family and friends. It was a beautiful day and certainly a highlight. Our fall was hectic, we participated in 2 shows with 11 head. Our Ag Ex was outstanding, with highlights including being honoured with the Premier Breeder and Exhibitor Titles, All Breeds Heifer Calf Champion with a sale heifer who is a maternal/full sibling to 4 bulls on offer, Champion Simmental Female with HFL Rose 1035J (co-owned with Longview Cattle Co.) getting her a seat in the CN Supreme and Reserve Bull Calf Champion and Third Overall Breeds with HFL Bouncer 2081K, who sells in this very sale! Our help as always was outstanding, Thanks to our showday fitters, and our core crew who is always there for us! (Jayci Jo Best, Naomi Best, Katie and Emma Falconer, Sveinna Bjarnarson, Karen and Alexis Decorby!) Agribition was a thrill, and with higher than normal heifer calf numbers we teamed up with some fellow breeders to bring the Associate Invitational Sale to life. It was a great success and we were overwhelmed by the support. Again, upon analyzation of our bull pen you’ll see lots of consistencies in relation and type and kind. ET and AI has always been important in our program and is a tool we have been utilizing for growth! These bulls are sound structured, good footed, free moving and athletic with enough performance and calving ease bred-in to be versatile in most any program. They are built the way we like them and how we would like to see them if utilized in our cow herd. We have developed these bulls for sale the exact way we would if they were to be retained within our own herd. High roughage TMR and a balanced ration with Bullseye nutrition (Thanks Phil and Matt!) Our focus is longevity and athleticism and we are confident these bulls will go out and work for you. In the past we have freeze branded our bulls for identification purposes, this year the time just seemed to have gotten away from us. We would be happy to provide this service free of charge after the bull sale if the successful bidder wishes. Visitors are always welcome for a tour prior to the bull sale. We would love to have you! Please get in touch with either Laura or Jake with questions about the offering or to arrange a tour! Thank you to past and future buyers for all the support. Your support means the world to us and we look forward to servicing your bull battery needs!

THE BRETTA SONS

Bretta has proven to be a dominate donor in her first year of production and has already achieved milestones that many cows never achieve or take a life time doing so. Last fall progeny turned heads and 2 heifer calves sold after winning titles throughout the circuit sold for $28,000 to LA Ranch and $16,500 to Carter Goudy. She’s proven to be a highly fertile and high yielding flush cow who possesses added extension, awesome structured and uddered, standing on a great big and square foot. She’s a versatile breeding piece and we are excited to see where else her future takes her. With that being said we are pretty excited to lead off our offering with 4 sons. You’ll find a lot of similarities and consistencies between these 4 homo polled brothers. All patterning their mothers in a lot of ways, big and sound footed, with extra stretch and extension, heavy haired and big barrelled.

Welcome to the second annual Horner Downhill TSN bull sale. I would like to thank all my past supporters who made last years first sale a huge success. I run a small herd of very functional cows and calve 50 to 55 head each year and breed an additional 15 to 20 replacements and do a strict culling job here. This year the bulk of the bulls are off KWA Black Mountain 279G who has again left and exceptional calf crop. Along with some calving ease bulls out of Mader Son of Anarchy and Wheatland Frontrunner. Please feel free to stop in or call anytime to look at the bulls at home or at the Horner bull yard Feb 25 to the 27th as our open house runs in conjunction with the online timed bull sale.
