Rack Red Angus On behalf of Rack Red Angus we would like to invite you to our 12th Annual Rack Red Angus & MCG Simmental Bull Sale. We would like to thank all our 2018 bull sale buyers who braved the blizzard to attend the sale last year! The winter of 2018 was one that I am sure we all will agree we don’t want to see again! To help with any weather circumstances this year we have decided to add Direct Livestock Marketing Systems (DLMS) to broadcast the sale real time online and provide instant bidding for anyone that can’t make the sale. A second addition to this year’s sale is we have asked Bryan Mackenzie to join our team and help with consulting our sale. So please if you have any questions regarding the bulls for sale Bryan will also be available for assistance that day. We found as we reflect on 2018 in writing this letter that it was a pretty good year. We attended the Red Round Up again and would like to thank Lust Farms for purchasing our heifer. We would like to also thank Bryan and Sherry Mackenzie for the opportunity to purchase a small group of their spring calving cows. They have been a great asset to our program. Our daughter became engaged to Will Litle and will be married May of 2020. Will and Kelsey have also stepped up and purchased some cows and will be running them with us in our program. Marshall is also building his herd up as well. So this is a family affair for sure and it’s so rewarding to have the whole family involved and taking part in our dream of providing good quality cattle. We all still work off the place full time and continue to make our operation a priority to provide good quality bulls for your herd. The bulls are on a textured ration designed to grow and develop and not to burn them out. They have free choice green feed and grass hay. They are fed by hand twice a day which keeps them quiet and we get to know our bulls daily. We believe the bulls on offer have been grown for longevity and soundness as we stand behind our bulls 100%. We are so impressed with the feet in this pen this year. We’ve been working hard on culling and choosing the correct pedigrees to provide herd improvement for the commercial cattlemen. Any bulls selling that are returning back to the ranch must be insured. We do our best to finish and care for them, but bulls can be injured. While not very often, accidents can happen. If you have any questions on the bulls in this year’s offering please give us a call. Videos of our bulls can be viewed on cattlevids.ca through DLMS or by joining us on our Rack Red Angus facebook. Here’s to a successful 2019! Thanks Clayton, Kathy, Marshall, Kelsey & Will
EPD’S CHANGING TO “ANGUS ONE”
This year, if you follow EPD’s you are going to notice that the Red Angus Bull numbers seem off. They are! The Canadian Angus Association has implemented a program called “Angus One”. These new numbers are now being calculated with the American Angus Association. This means the American Black Angus and Canadian Angus cattle both Red and Black now make up these new numbers. Following is a paragraph from the Canadian Angus Association in regards to the changes for Red Angus breeders: “Canadian Red Angus members will notice this change to their cattle EPD’s. These new EPD’s are not comparable to your previous EPD’s so please don’t think of it as your EPD’s changing. This is a completely new set of numbers, now directly comparable and on the same base as EPD’s for Black Angus animals both in Canada and the US. This change will take time to adjust to in that your acceptable ranges for EPD’s for your program and your enrollment will need to be reassessed.” We went over this a lot this year debating if we would even put them in our catalogue, but realized that we need to get used to this change and see how it will adjust in time. We recommend you to look at the whole picture of an animal not just EPD’s alone. We know this will take time and assure you we know our cattle, so feel free to ask us questions on your bull purchase.

A definite foot improver! He will advance future genetics. Poker Face is the sire to Lot 1 and Lot 2 in the sale and both bulls will impress anyone.

This is our lead off bull for 2019 and what a great bull! We have been very impressed with King of Hearts 2F since birth. We took him to the 2018 Red Round Up show. He has the deepest red colored hair coat of any Red Angus bull I’ve seen. This all matched with a disposition of a kitten, style, muscle in all the right places and an unreal set of feet. King of Hearts will work well in your heifer pen and will produce great replacements for you. He is out of a first calf heifer that has done a great job.

Pedigree is from a dam purchased from Bryan & Sherry Mackenzie in 2017 with hopes to bring our bull sale numbers up with same pedigrees we know are trusted and true. What a great decision this has become. Dealer 107F is a rib shorter than King of Hearts but makes up for in his “Mass”. This guy has incredible shape where it is needed and a little lighter in color but what a bull! Again a great asset to your heifer pen.

Kashmir was the bull we bought sight unseen and highly recommended by Kirk Wildman of Towaw Cattle Co. We loved the picture of Kashmir that shows his stunning correctness, rib shape and hair coat. Kashmir stands proud on a great set of feet as well! Dam Fayette 129S is a Canadian Angus Association elite dam that never misses, having seven bull calves and one heifer with an average index of 109. All of the bull calves have sold in the Towaw bull sale and the heifer calf sold to TC Reds in Wisconsin. His sire, Red Windy Hill Zepplin 1240Z, was the Red Angus bull in 2013 that caused quite a stir! Zepplin sires those deep red colored calves that are correct and have great muscle shape.

A couple of things to mention on all these Kashmir bulls. We found all of the calves to have some power behind them! As you will see by their birth weights and end of test weights they are cow bulls with tonnes of growth. We weigh every calf and the weights listed are true. Feast 5F is a power bull and on a set of cows will give you the calves you want in the fall that will tip the scale. Calves are still sold by pounds in the fall! Dam 43Y is just like her name implies, Emilsweet. She is soggy, with a great disposition and we can walk up to her anywhere in the pasture to give her a scratch. Last year’s bull calf, Click 13C, was a sale feature that we showed to a Reserve Champion at 2017 Red Round Up Sale and sold to Granum Colony.

Red Brylor Karma 88X has been a stellar cow for us that we purchased from Brylor Ranch 6 years ago. We’ve sold females from her to Six Mile Red Angus, J Lazy A Ranch, and Gerry Walters. Flirt 9F is the first bull calf Karma 88X has had. Flirt 9F was the bull calf that we had selected to show at 2018 Red Round Up this fall in the bull futurity. Flirt has a story to him. He was brought home and started on feed but mysteriously disappeared out of the home pasture. He was gone for a week and reappeared in another pasture we had rented to the east of home. Anyhow, he is back and we are glad as he is on offer at the sale. This bull won’t disappoint anyone! BW WW YW MILK TMAT CED CEM EPDs: +1.4 +36 +57 +23 +42 +4.0 +8.0 % Rank: 53 46 56 11 22 36 21

At the time of the sale this remarkable young stallion of a bull was limited to an impressive group of breeders thus far who are committed to him. In the big picture of things only 12 other breeders in this entire country, besides Cockburn/Brylor, will have calves out of him in 2018! Assassin was the object of a lot of attention last spring. He sold to Brylor Ranch for $77,500 as the high seller at Cockburn’s bull sale. His dam had a $15,000 heifer at the 2016 Agribition, and she herself just recently sold ½ interest for $20,000.

Since topping the Denver 2015 sale at $55,000US, he has been incredibly popular all over the world because of the explosive growth and profitability of his progeny. His very first daughters were named Grand Champion pen of 3 heifers at Denver in 2014 and one topped the sale at $11,000US. A daughter topped Agribition 2014 sale at $24,000 as well. Now for the biggest feat a bull can have happen…his first daughters have jumped his milk number up to a +19! His sons have been excellent too. They topped Brylor’s 2015 bull sale at $55,000. A son was named the futurity champion bull at the 2015 Mayhem event in Kansas and sold for $9250. Take a good look at the two lots 14 & 15 to take advantage of his potential for your herd!

Fourth, Red Shoderee Ramba 2F who is designated Elite/Premier Dam since 2006.

Welcome to the 2019 MCG Simmentals and Rack Red Angus bull sale. 2018 was a challenging year for many in the Agriculture sector, but hopefully the prospects are good for 2019. We really appreciate the support and interest in our bulls from the past buyers and bidders. We think that this year’s bulls are the strongest, quietest, most consistent and best performing group that we have ever raised. We know that everyone says the same thing about their bulls, so we will let you be the judge on sale day. The bulls are fed with longevity in mind and are not pushed. They receive a textured grain ration as well as chopped hay and straw and liquid feed. If you would want to see the bulls prior to sale day, feel free to drop in and see the bulls, herd sires and their mothers. We are really happy to be working together with Rack Red Angus and the Park family once again. We think that we complement each other with our two breeds of bulls, and give customers a one stop shopping opportunity. We also would like to thank Foothills Auctioneers for the opportunity to work with them for our sales facility and marketing.

Again, if you want a little chrome, this bull has a nice blaze face. He had a 281 day gestation out of a first calf heifer. He is one of the youngest bulls in the pen, but he has kept right up there with the rest.

BIRTH WEIGHT & CALVING EASE
University studies in Wyoming and data from Montana and Colorado lend credence to the following conclusions: 1. The birth weight itself influences calving ease by 65% 2. The female has 60 – 70% influence on the birth weight of her calf. 3. The bulls has 30 – 40% influence on birth weight of his progeny 4. Pelvic measurement and angle as well as the shape of the calf have 35 – 40% influence on calving ease. 5. Length of gestation greatly affects birth weight. A fetus can gain over one pound per day in the last days of gestation. 6. Weather and temperature the last 30 days affect the length of gestation. 7. Size and maturity of the cow influence calving ease. Most commercial producers do not take birth weights. Guessing is as inaccurate as driving with a broken speedometer – what's thought to be 55 mph may in fact be 65 or 70 mph, and what's thought to be 70-80 lbs may actually be 80-90 lbs. Remember, everything is relevant. Increased growth, frame and performance will increase BW. A longer-bodied calf will weigh more. If a calf is expected to have genetics for growth, it will display this prior to birth as well as after. As a rule of thumb, it takes a calf weighing 85 lbs at birth to finish as 1200-1250 lbs. A cow should easily give birth to a calf weighing 8% of her own body weight. Thus a 1200 lb cow should give birth to a 96 lb calf with ease. Continued selection for light birth weights will ultimately reduce the mature sizes and performance of your cattle.
