MAN IN THE MIRROR They say time stops for no one. As years roll by it is becoming evident to me that my body is having an ever increasing hard time to keep up to my mind. That salt block now seems to weigh more than 50 pounds, but the label says it’s only 20 kg. Well, what ever it weighs, it just isn’t as easy to get it into the back of the old pickup truck as it used to. Maybe they’re making trucks taller. I know one thing for sure, it’s good we’re specializing in low birth weight calves, cause those 70 pounders are a lot easier to weigh than a 100 pound critter. But now I just ain’t quick enough to catch them! MAN IN THE MIRROR By Bryce Burnett I looked in the mirror the other day and couldn’t believe what I did see. For there was my old dad behind that glass just a staring back at me. What happened to that young fella who was there not that long ago? Strong facial features, full of fantasy, dreams and a youthful glow. Yes that old mirror reflected a few changes through the passing years. Yet the image is that of a family resemblance through all the joys and tears. Pretty soon my son will gaze in that mirror and much to his chagrin, It’ll be my turn to play a trick myself when I’ll be grinning back at him.
Cattle will be ready for viewing Saturday morning, then join us for a complimentary beef-on-a-bun before the sale. Drop by to view the sale offering at the Ranch anytime.

WELCOME Welcome to our 30th Annual Bull and Female Sale. 30 years is a milestone of achievement. It is gratifying to have come through the years and recollect on great memories of the cattle business, challenges, accomplishments and achievements, but mostly the opportunity to make many friends in the livestock industry. Reflections on 30 years perceive like forever and then again can seem like a blink of an eye. Here we are tattooing critters with the letter A. It seems not that long ago we sold a heifer, Burnett Anita, with the vintage of the letter A from 20 years ago, to a cattleman at the National Western Stock Show in Denver for $10,000. A lot of money back then, a lot in today’s terms as well. There is a feeling of satisfaction and pride that we have set goals to breed quality breeding stock, functional, ranch raised cattle that work hard for our customers in a variety of management and environmental conditions. The selection of moderate easy fleshing, correct feet and legs, strong user friendly udders and moderate birth weights is the norm in our breeding program. Why should it not be? That’s what commercial cattlemen demand. Once again, Thanks for believing in our program, the opportunity is yours. Please enjoy the Sale. Your friends, 1

This was Shipwheel Chinook’s first calf crop! And we are very impressed with his calves. He is excellent for siring very consistent low birth weight calves. His 2013 calf crop bull calves averaged 70 lbs and his heifer calves averaged 73 lbs. His average gestation period on heifers was 278 days. Chinook’s calves also have adequate growth and length, while maintaining a moderate structure. Look to the Chinook sired bulls to breed your heifers.

Missing link is proving to be a very true breeding bull in our bull battery. Look to Missing Link for the easy keeping kind. His calves are moderate in stature with added muscle expression and overall body thickness. He is also producing low birth weight calves. In 2013 his bull calves avg 81lbs and heifer calves avg. 79 lbs. The daughters are very nice moderate sized cows with very nice udders that milk very well.

AOD: 4 BW: 85 WW: 605 Adj 205: 618 Leptin: CC
Extra style. Strong topped.
Leptin is a hormone that regulates feed intake and energy expenditures. There are 3 Leptin variants: -CC (lean) animals have less fat -CT animals are economically intermediate -TT (fat) animals have more fat The T gene influences several economical important traits including, weaning weight, marbling, quality grade, yield grade, days on feed and milk production. By using a TT bull, you can guarantee that his calf crop will all be at least CT carriers. Another tool in the “tool box” for our customers that are shipping calves direct to feedlot, or finishing calves on their own pocket book.

CALVING EASE RATING
We have strived to select AI bulls and develop a breeding program, which is in harmony with calving ease as well as performance. Although many associate calving ease with birth weight (as do we to a degree), there are other factors that come into play. I have often thought that birth weights should be like buying t-shirts: small, medium, large and x-large (don’t want to go there). Consideration should also be place on genetic make up (bloodlines), environmental and management practices. I have become aware that gestation length is a contributing factor. By using bulls that pass on shorter gestation periods to their calves, they can attribute to calving ease. We have concentrated on bulls with gestation lengths of 270 to 280 days. The average gestation length (benchmark) for the Angus breed is 283 days. From our first calf heifers over the years, we have had calves born from 268 to 291 days. The 268 gestation calves weigh ~70 lbs, lively, up and going. The calves from the 291 day gestation weigh ~95-98 lbs., lay around for a day. He’ll make a good steer – because we won’t pass those genetics on. You will find bulls in our offering with pedigrees stacked for lower birth weight and shorter gestation and therefore should be compatible for breeding heifers. By calving ease stacked pedigrees we refer to low birth weight and short gestation length on the sire side as well as the sire of the mother. For your convenience we have rated each bull based on information we have of birth weight, pedigree, gestation period and other influences. ***Recommended for moderation sized heifers ** Recommended for heifers with supervision and moderate sized cows * Recommended for a moderate to larger sized cows

COWBOYS & GREASE GUNS By Bryce Burnett The government said, “Boys, it’s time to register your guns, whether you want to or not.” So I grabbed the old grease gun and thought, Register this; - it’s the most dangerous gun we’ve got. See, cowboys and grease zerks aren’t overly compatible, and that’s when one must refrain. Cause trying to shoot a grease zerk with that old grease gun can drive a cowboy insane. I unholster that gun and it works just fine until there’s about three zerks left to go. That’s when the gun runs out of grease; she’s empty, wouldn’t you know. When a cartridge is changed in a grease gun, one must sit back and regress, Cause when a cowboy dismantles a grease gun, one of them’s going to end up a mess. Pants and shirt become a grease rag by the time the gun’s back together. With a couple of pumps, a gob of grease lands on my new boot leather. Then back under the machine to find the grease zerks; only two left, then we’re done. With two pumps it develops an air lock, so it’s back up to bleed the damn gun. Loosen her off and out comes the air, squirting grease onto my nose. Shirt sleeves become rags then; wouldn’t you know - there’s a kink in the rubber hose. That last zerk is always the hardest to get at, and why it doesn’t take grease finally appears. Now it seems I’ve been trying to grease a quarter-inch bolt for at least the last couple of years. So there’s one thing for certain; cowboys and grease guns sure are accustomed to battle, And I know I’ll be leaving this outfit if they ever fit a grease zerk onto my saddle.
WELCOME FROM G&J LIVESTOCK
Jane & I would like to thank the Burnett’s for the privilege of being in their bull sale. The bulls we are offering are developed slowly on oats and hay. They are not overfed. They have had no creep or barley. They are all different in their type and sires. Something for everyone. The bulls are on a full herd health program and are tested by the Horseshoe vet clinic. Please feel free to call anytime and see the bulls and their dams. We are proud of our cows and would love to show them to you. They all have new calves on them. Burnett’s viewed the bulls a few years ago and found a bull called Duramax. Ask them what he did for them.

HOMEGROWN
By Bryce Burnett “Purchase your food locally,” - that’s a slogan we hear a lot of nowadays, And as a producer, I appreciate that, growing up in ranching ways. I was born and bred right here on this ranch and I know the wholesomeness of it all. We produce grain and beef on Canadian soil, and are proud we got that call. I climbed into my tractor at haying time, got to keep my homegrown cows fed; But as I looked out the windshield, a decal glowed; ‘Made in England,’ it said. We’re growing local produce with foreign machines; that label sure got my glance. As I hooked up to the mower, a tag revealed that it was ‘Made in France.’ I was thinking, “this isn’t right,’ then I noticed the baler was assembled in U.S.A. Well, we’re getting closer to home, but it’s not quite the way to make Canadian hay. It sported an Italian driveshaft and the bearings endorsed Mexico, if you please. The chain links were stamped from Germany and the tires were Japanese. I was thinking, “The rake will be different,” but the plate showed ‘Made in Italy.’ As I glanced at the draw pin, I saw ‘China’ - stamped on it for all to see. So here we are growing local food, all produced with foreign machines. But what do I know, standing here in my field, dressed in Cambodian jeans? Maybe I’m the only original on this ranch, where my parents worked and played. So am I homegrown? Well only Mom and Dad know if I can be certified Canadian-made.
NEW THIS YEAR Burnett Bulls are DNA tested for Leptin and Foot Rot Vaccinated.
