What can I say about this guy, he’s been a standout since the day he hit the ground! A tanky bull with a lot of structure, hip and depth yet retaining some ‘style’! An awfully attractive bull with a solid set of impressive EPD’s top and bottom, whether it be for growth or milk. Backed by a very powerful cow family, this guy you could go any direction with; be you’re looking to raise growthy bull calves or maternally solid replacement females, he can do it all. Remember he’s out of a first calf heifer and she knocked this one out of the park! This guy sports a tremendous crop of hair and a very good foot which accounts to his smooth gait. Don’t miss this fella! Homo Black/ polled test pending.

Here’s a pretty cool calf in my mind. He’s got the look of a herd bull in the making, being a little more rugged than some and not as refined; also he’s got that baldy face which he should pass down to his offspring. He came into this world at a whopping 72lbs and has come along very nicely out of a first calf heifer to compete with his contemperaries. Trace him back on the bull side; a WLB baldy bull back to one of Bill’s most productive cows, the JFRS 43y cow as well as EI Tigre. We purchased his mother from Lonestar in the 2021 Shade’s sale; talking to Nick he is very impressed with his 337H calves as we are with this guy. On the cow side trace her back to Liner 56U and a bit of Angus influence with the Final Answer bull who is a renowned cow maker himself. A good mix of pedigree linage in this guy, he should be heifer pen approved with calving ease built right into this guy. Parent Verified. Homo black/ polled test pending.

An awesome and attractive baldy bull here. He has that picture perfect blaze as does his sire the HHSF Hercules bull with the two matching goggles. A bull that has done very well considering he is one of our youngest bulls in the offering, born in the first part of March. He is out of a second calving Lawmaker daughter we bought from the Moore’s in the 2020 Keystone Konnection sale. A cow with a moderate frame structure and picture perfect udder. If you are looking for docility it runs very deep in this cow. I have to really like this bull for his square hip structure, width and depth of quarter and middle. If you’re looking to tack on a money strip to your calves check this one out. Homo black/ polled test pending.

Yet another eye catching baldy bull. A sleek made, long bodied bull that is very neat and tidy up through his front end. Out of our DMJ Cobra bull who adds that length of spine to his calves. Little more power on the dam side, the 34C cow goes back to the NAC Pete bull who is a Rashad and had left us numerous productive females we’ve sold as well as retained. The 34C cow has a proven track record of raising the good ones over the years. This guy has a brother working for Craig Sweeting in Maryfield, SK. Homo black/ polled test pending.

Into our solid black division; we’ll start off with this tanky ring leader. He’s had the herd bull look since day one. A nice made bull with lots of length and thickness yet a nice head and clean front. Out of a first calf heifer we bought from TSN in the 2021 Shade’s of the Prairies sale. As you can see an awfully productive one with a nice udder, a female who sure did a whale of a job her first time out on this guy! Pedigree runs deep in this guy with the likes of the calving ease specialist LFE Nighthawk and maternally the likes of Proclamation and Broker. Throw this guy in the heifer pen and rest assure the ease is there. Feel free to check out the loaded set of EPD’s on this guy from top to bottom! Homo black/ polled test pending.

SIRE: DAM:

Here’s quite an E.T bull. Out of the proven Alliance sire and the Triple C Smarty Pants 917R cow that could write her own book on productivity. We purchased these embryos from Bouchard in his 2021 Genetic Vault sale; we were quite happy to get a hold of some of these very proven genetics. This guy has been a shining star from the get go. You have to like this bull for his structure, angular frame work and overall cleanliness in regards to his head and front end. The pedigree on this one has proven itself time and time again; so if you are looking for a bull with loads of genetic performance and just a moderate 92lb birth weight for an E.T calf consider taking this one home; I know he’ll do good things and make his mark. Homo black/ polled test pending.

Heifer pen approved! A pretty impressive True North bull; a bull who has paved his own way in the industry thus far for Wheatland and numerous other outfits that used him in their A.I programs. We are very impressed with our True North calves. This fella is a no brainer for calving ease, with a whopping 60lb birth weight and backed by the likes of Cobra, Shear Force and Club King. On the maternal side it’s very apparent at our place how good it works with numerous females in our herd. Good udders is a stand out in this cow family. A very clean fronted bull that has a good hoof under him and moves like a cat. I’ve said about all I can so you be the judge and feel safe cracking the gate and sending him into your heifer pen with a +13 on the C.E side putting him in the top 10% for birth weight and C.E. Out of a first calf heifer. Homo black/polled test pending.

She done it again; the ol faithful Paris 47y cow is a bull maker without a doubt! Again out of our black blaze face Cobra herd sire which definitely had a hand in putting the length of spine into this guy; he just might be the longest bull in the pen. If you are looking for a bull with a history of productivity this is him. This cow family has yet to not raise something that has not been run through a purebred sale or kept at home to be in the top cut of the cow herd. Another bonus to this guy is the traceability on milk; if you’re looking to retain females they will milk off this fella. In the previous 3 Rancher’s Select sales this cow has sold 2 direct sons, as well as 2 sons from her daughter. Again the proof is in the track record here; they raise the good ones! Half brothers working at Holodryga’s at Tolstoi, MB and Rock Hard Simmentals at Ericksdale, MB. Homo black/ polled test pending.

CREST’S VIEW HERC 69K

69K is a soggy made, thick haired and deep bull; just as his mother. The Prairie Wind cow is one we picked up from Wes in the 2020 Shades of the Prairies sale. She’s a Honky Tonk female; I’ve always wanted to get my hands on atleast one of them. I know Wes spoke highly of the bull himself and the footprint he left at his place. This guys mother has done a good job for us thus far, retaining her first heifer calf to put back into the cow herd and now this guy as a second calver. With a modest 88lb birth weight and a C.E # over 10 he should work in any scenario whether it be heifers or cows. This guy will put some depth and grow into his calves as he has impressed me the way he has developed in a short period of time. Homo black/ polled test pending.

CREST’S VIEW STYLE 50K

He’s not big but he is mighty! Take a look at this fella; he is a very moderate framed calf who is proportionate in every way. He is as thick and stout as you are going to find. His width and depth of quarter along with the amount of spring of rib he has is impeccable. He has the nice clean head and front as his other Style brothers alike. If you are looking to make a solid, soggy set of steer calves to sell this guy might be just what you’re looking for. Out of a first calving Centerfire daughter, with a 76lb birth weight and a 10.7 for calving ease I would feel quite comfortable turning him into the heifer pen without worry. Homo black/ polled test pending.

CREST’S VIEW STYLE 64K

Our last Style calf in the offering. Again much like the others; a bull with lots of guts, capacity, middle and more than an ample crop of hair. A modest 92lb birth weight on this one; and again out of a first calving Centerfire heifer. We are impressed with the consistency in these Style calves and how neat and tidy they are up front. Obviously there is enough jam there paired with the calving ease to have these guys plough ahead as hard as they did out of first calf heifers. Homo black/ polled test pending.

CREST’S VIEW CENTREFIRE 74K

Here’s a fairly rare to find black Oakview Centerfire son. A bull with over & above EPD’s for weaning weight and yearling weight which comes without saying out of the power packed Centerfire bull. I don’t like to be repetitious but the consistency that the Centerfire bull has left us in both genders is as good as you’ll find. If you want in on these proven genetics going back to the Kopp Bengie 6P cow, grab hold. It comes with great sadness we mysteriously lost the 139C bull this winter; so this will be his second last calves to step foot on the ground. As for the cow side here; the 70D cow is likely the most consistent producing Cobra cow we’ve got. As was her mother the 12Z cow we just retired last season. Longevity runs deep here. This cow has managed to ring the bell again having three full brothers in four Rancher’s Select sales; this combination works! He has brothers working at Drew Wilton’s in Wawanesa, MB and Kane Dowsett’s of Minnedosa, MB. Homo black/ polled test pending.

We will start the red division of our offering with this coming two year old. He was held back and developed as a two year old due to his age. We knew he had the potential and genetic make up to be good so that made our decision easy. This guy with his size and maturity will go out and cover some cows with ease. He’s out of the proven Centerfire bull; going back to a cherry red, nice uddered Mountain cow that has done very well for us. If you want to put some dark red colouring and growth in your calf crop, consider this guy as he is well above on weaning weight and yearling weight EPD’s. This bull moves out exceptionally well with a great, picture perfect set of red hooves under him; which if he follows in his father’s foot steps will last a life time. If you’re needing a bull to make tracks and cover some ground consider Jameson; he’s a smooth as whiskey! Homo polled/ diluter test pending.

CREST’S VIEW MOUNTAIN 56K

Here’s a bull out of our walking Mountain bull; the only chance to own one of them this year, and Centerfire on the bottom side. He’s a combination of calving ease and performance. A nice made bull that has had a lot of friends in the pen since the beginning. A bull that is known around here for his docility. He stands on an excellent set of feet and legs and moves with ease. Mothered by the 23E cow, a picture perfect cow in my mind for the way she’s made, udder quality, and the calves she raises always rise to the top; one of the most productive ones. Maternally going back to the 42W cow who still walks the pastures here and brings in a calf every fall even at her age. Lots of our saleable cattle trace back to her. So this bull will last the duration, it’s bred in. The 23E cow is a bull maker she has had three bulls in four of the Rancher’s select sales so the proofs there. He has a Beef King brother working for Grant Bradley of Esterhazy, SK & an Absolute brother working for Diamond J Simmentals of Battleford, SK. She laid down and had another ripping good Copperhead bull calf the other day so look forward to him in the 2024 sale. She is always at the top of the calving list and fertile to A.I. Homo polled test pending.

CREST’S VIEW KING 177K

Lot 52

King is a pretty interesting calf to say the least. He is out of our Hercules bull we bought out of the Indian River sale a few years ago. He’s a Savage son, and walks the pastures here as one of our calving ease sires. We have been impressed with the way his calves come and the consistency in type and kind in them. His red colour must come as a genetic throw back as he is out of a black blaze bull and a black cow. He sports an 11.3 calving ease number and just over 90lbs for a birth weight. You have to realize his mother is a big cow backed by sound performance. If you analyze this bull you will see how straight he is in his lines and how tidy he is upfront. Again one of the smoothest moving bulls & backed by the Paris 47y cow on the bottom side there is no guesswork here. His mother 68D has raised us nothing but good saleable females sold to breeders or retained in our own herd. One sold this fall through the Keystone Konnection sale to TGJ Cattle Co, and previously one to Lonestar Simmentals. Check this guy out you wont be disappointed! Homo polled/ diluter test pending.

Power! Power! Power! If your looking for a red cow bull you’ve found him. This guy is packed full of growth and performance. He along with his sire and dam are above average when it comes to frame score which will make his calves push down hard on the scales. Again there won’t be many more chances to own a Centerfire son as we lost the big guy. Check out his weaning weight and yearling weight numbers of 84 and 130+, if that doesn’t put the pounds on I don’t know what will. On the cow side of things, he’s out of a nice second calver we bought from Mar Mac in the 2020 Keystone Konnection sale. If your wanting a bull with a bit of a genetic twist look to the cow side where you’ll find some older genetics with the likes of Red Iron and others. Our high gainer between weaning and yearling weights with no warm up doing 5.0lbs/day.This guy will not disappoint when weighing in his pen of calves. Homo polled test pending.

CREST’S VIEW COBRA 73K

Here’s a lighter coloured red baldy bull, son of our Cobra walking bull; with a perfectly painted bald face. If you need a bull true to placing a white face on his offspring check this guy out. Blaze face on the sire side, out of a baldy face cow and white faced granddam. Maternally you’ll see this guy trace back to the Toblerone 210T bull that left us many good productive females in the herd and some we shared with fellow breeders. Having said that, it is not surprising his milk number is above average. In last years sale we sold a half brother to this guy out of Red Heat to Zachedniak Simmentals in Roblin, MB where AJ was impressed with his performance thus far. Homo polled test pending.

A dark cherry red bull out of again another great Oakview Centerfire daughter. Heifer pen approved is non negotiable with this guy; 88lb birth weight, a 15.1 C.E EPD putting him in the top 2% for calving ease in the breed and top 10% for birth weight! Take the time to look this guy over, not only are his numbers right but if you go back to the old school way of finding a heifer bull; he’s got it all! This bull is made right too; with a tapered front end & nice small head, smooth over the shoulders, and all his lines and angles align. All that while still maintaining a tick above average on weaning and yearling weight numbers. If I was a betting man; I’d wager you’ll look long and hard to find a C.E bull made like this guy that will eliminate a lot of worry come calving time. Give him a look! Homo polled test pending.

59K is another red Centerfire son out of a red Cobra daughter who ranks at the top of the herd for productivity, type and kind and udder structure. He’s got that dark red hair coat you could go in any direction with as far as stamping his calves. Lots of stretch and grow to this guy while at the same time maintaining a nice set of feet and legs to make him an easy mover. Again a bull that could definitely add weight to his calf crop. We do get paid by the pound! Homo polled by parentage.
