From the desk at T Bar….
Welcome to Prairie Cove Charolais Bull and Female Sale at the ranch in Bashaw, Alberta. The Bullick Family is now in its third generation of producing and marketing superior Charolais breeding stock to the beef industry on both levels… the commercial sector and the purebred breeder. Founded by Bill and Bubbles Bullick who are pioneers in the Charolais breed in Canada, carried forward by Tim and Wanda and now in the capable hands of Tyler. We, at T Bar C, are proud to have assisted Prairie Cove Charolais in their marketing needs over the past several decades and highly respect their breeding and selection decisions. In the production of purebred seedstock in all breeds, a very limited few can claim the ultimate reward… “Supreme Over all Breeds” … Prairie Cove Charolais is the home of the Supreme Champion Beef Female in the nation capturing this award at both Farm Fair International in Edmonton and two weeks later taking the Agribition RBC Supreme… quite an accomplishment for Tyler, Justine and the Bullick Family! The sale lineup is stellar as they present a group of young sires that are rugged, hairy with plenty of testicle and structural soundness. The genetics are fresh and ready to add value to your program and the resulting calf crop … and as always there is something for every budget. The females offered are of a competitive nature, fancy and powerful just like the bull lineup. High quality females for sale in the Charolais breed are a rare commodity and PCC have put their best foot forward for you to share in a part of their program… don’t come up short on these “front pasture” females! Every livestock enthusiast knows the value of Charolais influence on the beef cattle industry and the front row of any sale barn will tell you they are the easiest feeders to place because feedlots demand them. Simply put… more calf, more pounds, coupled with more profit! Plan to be with us on February 22nd for a great offering of Charolais breeding cattle… it will be “well worth the trip!” If we, at T Bar C, may be of any assistance, prior to or sale day, do not hesitate to give myself or any of our professional team a call, as we can help you with your needs.

SPRING 2018 CHAROLAIS EPD AVERAGES BW 1.2 WW 43.6 YW 83.7 M 21.7 TM 43.5
What a year we have had at Prairie Cove!
Justine and I have settled into the new place 7 miles south and 7 back to the west of Bashaw, its been fantastic, building our own yard, planting trees, landscaping it the way we want it to be, and getting to enjoy our time at the new ranch with Indy and Scarlet is so very rewarding. We would like to welcome everyone to our first bull and female sale at the new place in Bashaw. We feel the group of cattle we have assembled are high quality and has something for everyone, and will help the Charolais business flourish for years to come. Our friends the Cays, from Kinistino SK, have been buying females from Prairie Cove for some time now and we are very proud to have a handful of bulls from their operation, many of the same pedigrees you will recognize as similar to Prairie Cove. All the bulls are sold and guaranteed by Prairie Cove, we stand behind our cattle 100%. We raise Charolais cattle and it is something I love to do, I have always had Charolais cattle as a part of my life. The day I was born, my father was showing Monarch at the Red Deer Westerner. He was Grand Champion bull that day. So you could say this business, and this breed has been a part of me and bred into me. I am very proud of that, we love talking Charolais. I want to thank my grandpa Bill and Grandma Bubbles for all things they have done getting us going in Charolais. I feel very lucky to have found a young woman as smart, and strong minded, and willing to work for her goals as Justine, she has helped take Prairie Cove to the next level. Justine was the main stay when it comes to PZC Lily 5013, being the only Supreme Champion Charolais female to win both Edmonton and Regina. She stayed home and fed them, she was out late at the barn working on them, she made it all happen! Thank you for all your hard work and putting up with me as I know that isn’t always easy. With all that being said the knowledge I have about this awesome Charolais business all came from my dad, Tim Bullick. He has taught me so much about the history, the people and relationships, and the cattle. My mom and dad have helped Justine and I so much with the new place, I can’t begin to explain how grateful we are to have them in our lives as partners on all the cattle and as people to look up to and bounce ideas off of, and honestly to just always have our backs. Thank you. This event is something we are very excited about, the cattle are backed with some of the very best seed stock in the business, our donors speak for themselves. We seek out new genetics and the best genetics we can find and incorporate them into our program, so buy with confidence. If we can help in any way don’t hesitate to give us a call to just talk Charolais!
Tyler Bullick
The MOST dominant Charolais Show Female in recent memory, unprecedentedly winning the two biggest and most prestigious shows in our business BACK to BACK. Supreme Champion at Farmfair International 2017 and RBC Canadian Western Agribition 2017. With one of the deepest set of all breed females ever assembled, Lily prevailed on TOP not once but twice. The day we first saw Lily we loved her, and flew back down for the sale, we knew we had to own her. What a fantastically wild ride she has taken us on. Lily has never had a bad day, the day she calved was special, she had a Sparrows Kingston heifer calf that just always had an eye popping look about her.We also did an IVF cycle on her as a virgin heifer calf after we bought her and we got lucky enough to get a bull calf that always has had an aura about him, PCC High Life 741E has known he was special from day one. Always carries himself with poise and presence, bold in his design and stout in his build. PZC Lily is a PACK leader at Praire Cove and will always be our Two Time Supreme Champion. Truly a breed legend and a female to build a program around.

PCC High Life 741E is an absolute STALLION in my eyes. He oozes quality from every single pore, SO deep, SO fresh, SO attractive. High Life is round and robust in terms of his rib cage and design. So expressive, so wide and square and true over his rib and into his loin and he gets progressively wider and squarer into his pin set. You get High Life on the move and you want to talk about athletic and mobile. His incredible dam Lily has obviously wrote her own page in history already being the only Charolais female to ever win Edmonton Farmfair Supreme and Canadian Western Agribition Supreme Champion. As shown with her natural heifer calf, sold to Wrangler Charolais, and PCC High Life and she is off to a great start, we think her best work is still in front of her as our premier donor and face of Prairie Cove for many years to come. The Big Creek Game Changer is a somewhat of an outcross pedigree to many in Canada and a bull that has found great success raising real high quality seed stock in the USA, including the National Champion Female at Kanas City 2016. PCC High Life 741E is a BIG TIME difference maker, he will lead a program to another level, his softness, and robust rib design is something the Charolais breed needs an infusion of as well as being out of the finest females in the entire Charolais breed, will make High Life a truly unique breeding piece. If you are serious about owning and breeding Charolais cattle at the highest level, you should add PCC High Life 741E to your breeding list in 2018.

Madison 85M
As I write these footnotes we are getting ready to take Madison back down to DRI to flush again at the age of 16. She continues to flush well and has more than 40 progeny to date registered at the CCA office. She is everything you seek in a cornerstone donor with many outstanding progeny spread around the world . She is a no miss production factory. Her sons at D and G Charolais and Langstaff Charolais and Cluny Colony have produced some outstanding easy to sell progeny. Her daughters that are working for people like Clearwater River Charolais, Cays Cattle and Greg Kroupa, South Dakota, have done an incredible job. There is a reason we track pedigrees and that is to find the great ones within the breed and Madison has proven she stands on top.

Sire, PCC Rome 437B PCC Rebel 635D is the kind of bull who will anchor a cow herd and put a program on the map! He is deep bodied and attractive with the masculinity and character of a breeding bull. A maternal dynamo, as he draws from the strength of the great Madison 85M. If you want to add milk, fertility, productivity, and staying power to your cow herd, PCC Rebel 635D is equipped for the task. Madison 85M is in the top 5% in all the breed for milk EPD and has registered over 40 progeny in her life time, as she is still being flushed at 16 years of age. PCC Rebel 635D is a bull that has many possibilities, we think he is a bull that could be a big time contender to be the National Champion Bull in 2018, the National Show is in Edmonton and will be a fantastic event. We have had a plan with PCC Rebel 635D all along to possibly show him for the new owners or in conjunction with the new owners. PCC ROME 437B was a Champion and we think Rebel could also be a Champion.

Cluny Colony bought a full brother last year that continues to get better and better and adds power to those tan and smokey calves. Proven, predictable Cow Families are what we are built on at PCC. Madison is the Matriarch at PCC and she continues to prove time and time again how powerful she is and has been.

A very nicely made, phenotypically correct, and attractive individual. PCC Vision 744E is a young sire with only being born March 19, 2017, but you can tell he is an early maturing bull with great testicle development as well as that bull look to his head and crest. This is a unique pedigree with the Kraken bull, he adds hair and volume, mass and hip. The combination of adding Miss Prairie Cove 402B adds the sharp lines and attractive look that PCC Vision 744E has. PCC Vision 744E also carries the TT Leptin gene that is a positive characteristic that many producers have been using in their programs. Leptin TT.

Low birthweight but yet still has growth to put into a high quality group of calves. Heifer bull that won’t give any trouble calving, Randals mother also is a daughter of Madison 85M her bloodlines run deep here at PCC. Hairy cattle always sell well, remember that when picking out your next herd bull. This guy has it!! Leptin TT.

Miss Prairie Cove 309A This is a pretty special Charolais cow in many different ways! First off, it forged an awesome relationship with the superb people from Kinistino SK, the Cay family. With the help of our great friend Toby Noble, we sold Miss Prairie Cove 309A to the Cays and things have just snowballed from that point forward. The Cays have done a good job picking out cattle that will work and breed onto build the kind of herd they want of easy doing, great Charolais cattle.
Miss Prairie Cove 309A has been the start of something great, she is fertile as she flushes 20 eggs per flush on the average and seems to always be calving early. Miss Prairie Cove 309A has a very unique natural Lanza bull calf that has a Big Time future, as he has great EPDs to match. This first Turton flush has been Miss Prairie Cove 309A’s launching point with eight calves being registered and lead off by the Heifer Calf Champion at Farmfair 2017 and Junior Bull Calf Champion at Agribition 2017 with Lot 8 Cays Full House 22E. As well as Miss Prairie Cove 714E a high selling female at the Alberta Select at $17,000 to our friends the Trasks from Saskatoon. The group of calves is as strong as you will find and we are looking forward to another large group of ET calves coming in 2018 and years to come. Miss Prairie Cove 309A is a lead Donor at Prairie Cove and Cays Cattle.

Full House is the most intriguing herd sire prospect Cays have ever offered. At Agribition this past fall, he was crowned Junior Bull Calf Champion, he was sought after for his unique combination of width and stoutness, while still giving that soft haired look and ideal in his foot shape and size. Throw in his large testicle development and unmatched laid back temperament, we feel CAYS Full House 22E has a lot to offer any seed stock producer. Miss Prairie Cove 309A was Grand Champion Female 2015 and Reserve Grand Champion at Agribition, she is a cornerstone in Cays and Prairie Cove programs and progeny like CAYS Full House 22E is the reason why.

PCC Browning 756E is a real cool Game On herdsire prospect , he has a monster hip, he is big legged, and possibly the hairiest bull in the offering. You have to go look at this bull, check out how much hair he has on his legs! With his 85lbs BW PCC Browning 756E could work very well with a group of heifers or young cows. Game On sired our high selling female this past fall to Springside and Pete Peters for $18,000. These two full brothers are out of the Game WR Miss Meryl 26T, Dam of Lots 20, 21 On sire we used and have been very happy with his offspring. I purchased some eggs in the states and these full brothers are the end result. The distinct look of the donor dam 26T is hard to find in any breed. 26T is such a special female, such mass, such depth, and huge rib and barrel in a big time donor female. These young full brothers are both heifer safe with low birth weights, but will still add growth and are backed by such a wonderful donor cow as a mother. Look these bulls up on Sale day as they won’t disappoint.

LOT 22 Ferdinand is not just a friendly bull, he is a complete package, he boasts a -2.9 for BW EPD, as well as extra length of body and eye appeal. A good bull for the heifer pen or a young group of females. His sire is in the top 5% of the breed for BW, so easy calving is what he is all about. Yet he still has performance to push the scale down.

Justin and Laynes grandfather and grandmothers Charolais operation in the 1970’s, is what started Susan Cay being interested in Charolais cattle and she passed that interest and intrigue down to the boys. When Justine and I were out to the old Morgan Charolais homestead, beside the winding river and the Prince Albert airport, we were introduced to Justin and Laynes grandma Margaret, what a wonderful lady! You can still feel the passion she has for her grandsons working on the farm and carrying on the tradition, her and her husband started many years earlier. I don’t know what she puts in that ham sauce but its worth the trip to Prince Albert! Thank you Margaret!

LOT 26 What a way to start off the female side of the inaugural Prairie Cove Bull and Female Sale at Bashaw AB. 729E possesses so much shape and volume, she is very rare in her kind with having that much substance yet still being flat shouldered and sound structure. Its also the blend in her pedigree that makes her so unique. Being the very first Bottoms Up female to sell in Canada, we purchased a set of eggs from Mcleods in Alberta Select and the result was the mother of 729E. Miss Prairie Cove 507C is an absolute amazing, powerful, broody, young cow. A Pastor female crossed to the direct Ginny 40P, the main stay cow that everything at Mcleods originates from. So you want to talk about pedigree, 729E can run with the best, you want to talk body you won’t find a female with more than 729E. You want to talk about future well this is where i think this could be very, very interesting. 729E is halter broke as all the females in the sale are. She is the kind that is built to lay down and have a calf and then you go hang a halter on and you go get ready for a fun run on the show road. 729E is truly a unique breeding piece, a future donor and one that could even hang a few banners, if thats what you fancy.

With the added value of Bottoms Up on the top side and Lanza x Carmen on the bottom, the pedigree reads top notch as you can get. Lots of possibilities with an attractive young female like 724E.

SIR C.R BOUVREVIL
Born April 27, 1968, February 3 weight 1040lbs
Sold February 3, 1969 for $33,000
This is my grandfather Bill Bullick, and the story of his first Full French Charolais Bull. Ron Rouse of Charrouse Ranch called Bill and said “do you have $10,000? I have a great investment opportunity”. Bill said he didn’t have $10,000 to spend on ONE cow! Okay, so Ron Rouse said “I will bring the cow over and put her in your name and you will get her first calf, and I will keep the cow”. He said “as long as you sell the calf in my sale, February 3, 1969, in Calgary”.
Sir C.R Bouvrevil
So the cow came and she calved on a cold day in April, and Ron called Bill and said come get your calf! So off to Stettler they went in a single cab truck, they got to Charrouse Ranch, picked up the bull calf, put him in the front seat and headed back to the Nose Hills east of Coronation. With a quick stop at the Stettler Auction Mart to pick up a nurse cow for the new calf! This calf grew well and Bill had a visitor from Texas all the way to Coronation Alberta in the summer time and offered $30,000 for this calf, but sadly Bill had promised Ron Rouse he would sell this calf in February in Calgary. So he turned the man from Texas down.
1969, import from France
On February 3, 1969 they loaded up and went to Calgary and sold Sir C.R Bouvrevil for $33,000! So what a way to be introduced to a breed like the Charolais, and an easy way to fall in love with Charolais Cattle!
