From Kfc Farms
Welcome to our 3rd Annual online sale. We are excited to again offer 15 yearling bulls and 3 lots of commercial Speckle Park heifers. New this year we are also offering 6 purebred replacement heifers.
This years offering consists of what I feel are the best group of bulls we have raised yet. The bulls are averaging heavier weaning and yearling weights as well as on average larger scrotal measurements. They have been fed a Total Mixed Ration consisting of barley silage, hay, oats and an added protein supplement and mineral package. We work closely with Brayden Schmidt at Bullseye Feeds with our entire herd to formulate rations that will encourage performance while still keeping longevity in mind. We again have tested the bulls for the Igenity data and Leptin scores, as well as carcass data. We aim provide as much data as we can for the buyers to utilize when purchasing our bulls.
The purebred heifers on offer are from the heart of our replacement pen. They are from cow families we have retained offspring from and we are confident they will work in anyones program. The commercial heifers again are offered from Ker-Kain Farms located in Shaunavon Saskatchewan. Vince and his family have been supporters of our program since we started and he has once again put together a really nice group of heifers for the sale.
Ken and his wife Judy are looking forward to attending the Sydney Royal this year in April. It will be good to finally put some faces to the names we read and hear about so often and see this breed thriving in a different country and climate.
Please feel free to call Ken or Ashley with any questions you may have regarding the bulls, or our program. Stop in and view the bulls any time!

It is again a pleasure to be working with the great crew at KFC Farms. The KFC program continues to increase the quality of bulls on offer year after year. The 2023 sale offering is as deep as it ever has been, and the bulls have developed very well during the feeding period this year.
The KFC cow herd utilizes an organic mineral package throughout the year to ensure proper immune function and overall health of the mother cows and progeny is maximized. The bulls are grown on grass with their mothers, and then moved onto a total mixed ration that is designed to promote lean muscle growth. It is important that rumen health stays a priority throughout every stage of the bull’s development, therefore the ration includes organic minerals to maximize the overall nutritional health and development of the bulls. The feeding program is built to maximize forage utilization, enhancing longevity is the focus when developing the sale bulls. The total mixed ration consists of barley silage, mixed hay, oat grain, and a low inclusion protein supplement formulated for the ration. The nutrition and development of the bulls along with the entire cow herd is continually being monitored to meet environmental and season conditions to compliment the animal’s overall health.
If you have any questions about the nutrition or sale bulls, please feel free to contact me.
Best of luck to the KFC Farms crew on sale day!
