Welcome
FROM MCKEARY CHAROLAIS
On behalf of McKeary Charolais, I would like to welcome you to our 6th Annual Tradition Bull Sale. It is that time of year again, calving has begun or is close. Feed yards are shrinking down, and everyone is ready for green grass. Oh did I mention Bull Sale time! The two months of the year when every rancher spends hours looking and critiquing their top selections. Well, I hope you left some room on your list for McKeary Bulls. We are in the first year of three transition years. This year we split the bull pen into half and we are offering a good choice of yearling bulls and some big powerful two-yearolds. This year and next year we will be a handful of yearlings and more and more two-year-olds. Yep, we also backed the majority of the herd off until April calving. So be sure to mark your calendar and take in the best sale of the year. Make sure you are early to take in a great meal. If you have any questions please call me at 403-501-9760 and remember, coffee is always on.
Chad

Welcome
FROM PRAIRIE COVE CHAROLAIS
It is with great excitement that we welcome you to our Annual Bull Sale. It is a pleasure to work with the McKearys and Ashbachers to offer you some powerful genetics. We may be new to selling in the Brooks area but my grandparents started raising Charolais in the mid 1960’s and we have strived to continue to raise superior quality genetics to this day. There are many leading genetics in the sale that are at the top of Charolais gene pool. Their genetics are highly valuable as they represent bulls that are stacked with predictability. We strive to produce bulls for all facets of the industry. Calving ease bulls that will work in the heifer and cow pen, or performance bulls that will give you those heavy pay weight calves come fall time. It is easy to see why Charolais bulls are so popular, with an extra 50-75lbs at weaning time at $3.00 per lbs - you do the math. When every dollar counts……. count on Charolais. Prairie Cove Charolais has been raising Charolais cattlefor over 50 years, we stand behind our product 100%. Buy with confidence. Give Tim, or myself a call; we love to talk Charolais.

PCC Stockton 512C is an extremely “BIG TIME” breeding piece, low birth weight, early maturing, fast growing, powerfully muscled with a huge rump and big top. PCC Stockton 512C is royally bred as his sire is a high seller himself and has sired many more high sellers, LT Ledger is doing an extremely good job in a wide variety of programs all over North America. PCC Stockton 512C is also back by the pride and joy at Prairie Cove Charolais, Miss Prairie Cove 314A a picture perfect female born and raised at Prairie Cove and we couldn’t be more proud of her. She has done a tremendous job raising her first calf with a perfect udder , loads of milk and extremely good disposition. PCC 314A is the cornerstone in the donor program and is out of one of the most fabulous females in the entire Charolais breed Sparrows Tempest 174K also the mother of PCC Sudden Impact, PCC Spartan. PCC Stockton 512C is built smooth and with an 88lbs birth weight will work well on any and all heifers. This is one hell of a bull and a dream as far as 12 calving ease goes.

Amarone is a performance bull! Take a look at his EPDs they are fantastic. He will add performance to your herd. Rawes Sir T 123Y has been used at the large herd at Strome AB, Rawes Ranch. Rawes Sir T 123Y’s mother is a great cow with a very nice udder and she has been very productive for Rawes Ranch. The combination of Madison 85M having the top 1% in milk EPD in the entire breed, and Sir T having huge growth numbers proved to be a fantastic combination. Madison 85M adds predictability and consistency. PCC Amarone 506C is such an outcross pedigree to most in the Charolais business, He is smooth made , extra long bodied and lots of belly.

Full Brothers sired by the very popular “Lanza” that is used very heavy at A Sparrow Farms. These bulls are both good haired and are leading the group in weight per day of age. They are younger bulls but are showing great maturity with great growth and large testicle development. These bulls will work in both the heifer pen and the cow pen, smooth made and moderate birth weights. Full brothers breed consistency, they will come in the ring together on sale day so double up and take them both!

Full Brothers here straight from our ET program. What a combination Firewater and Sparrows Tempest 174K has been, these boys are full brothers to Miss Prairie Cove 314A the mother of our leadoff bull lot 40. We could go on and on about Sparrows Tempest 174K she has been an incredible cow for us, the mother of PCC Sudden Impact (Supreme Champion) and PCC Spartan (Reserve National Champion). PCC 511C & PCC 516C will add extra weight to your calves and also add that extra style that everyone likes to see. These are also full brothers to the popular high selling two-year-old bull from 2015 that sold to Drake’s.

We always keep one of our top bulls over to sell as a twoyear-old and this Pastor has developed into a tremendous individual. His sire created a buzz when he sold for $76,000 a couple of years ago. This bull has everything you want with hair, length and thickness. He will go out and cover a lot of cows.

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are statistics generated for individual cattle through national genetic evaluations. EPDs: • Allow breeders to estimate a young animal’s breeding value • Allow a fair comparison of breeding value by removing environmental bias such as climate, feed and special management • The best tool available to compare animals between herds, countries and year of birth • Help breeders make informed decisions regarding breeding stock selection by evaluating numerous traits such as growth-related traits (BW, WW, YW, Milk), carcass (REA,FAT, %IMF, etc.) and reproductive efficiency(CE, MCE, SC) • Estimate the group performance of one parent compared to the group • Performance of another parent, assuming similar mates. EPDs evaluate group averages and offspring’s performance. They cannot predict individual performance or weights. For example. If Bull A (weaning weight EPD of +10) and Bull B (WW of +60) were randomly mated with ten similar cows, we would expect the group average weaning weight of Bull A’s offspring 10 be 50 lbs lighter than that of Bull B’s (60-10=50).
To evaluate seedstock, use EPDs, pedigree and visual assessment. With EPDs, the concept of “intermediate optimums”works best. Selection for one trait or for extremes generally results in unexpected consequences due to genetic correlations - for example, intense selection for high yearling weight will also increase birth weight. Successful cattle breeding requires a thoughtful and balanced approach to optimize fertility, growth and carcass merit while improving profitability and efficiency.

When an animal is proven by a veterinarian to be a non-breeder, the contributor agrees to refund the purchase price in full providing the bull is returned to the contributor in good physical condition, or to supply the purchaser with an animal of approximately equal age, quality and breeding. In either case, the non-breeding animal is to be returned to the contributor, and the purchaser is responsible for all transportation and veterinary charges incurred. The contributor is not responsible for damage caused by foreign bodies, nor the sickness not apparent at the time of the sale.” “It is to be clearly understood that Bow Slope Shipping Association is acting only as a medium between buyer and seller and is not in any way responsible for any failure on the part of either party to live up to his obligations.” Insurance: Insurance will be available at the buyer’s request.

Welcome
It is an honor to be in the sale with McKeary Charolais and Prairie Cove Charlolais this year. We are running a low maintenance herd of cows that raise a calf with limited input. Another great set of bulls for your viewing. This group of bulls have never been pushed being wintered their first year on free choice hay and five pounds of pelleted grain ration. We strive for quiet and easy to handle bulls with longevity bred in.
