Welcome W
Welcome to the Kenray Ranch 6th Annual Online Bull Sale. We recognize that there are numerous options available when searching for the supplier for your next herdsire therefore we want to thank you for your consideration and support over the last 33 years. We are extremely proud of our customer’s success and enjoy knowing that our cattle function within a variety of environments and breeding programs.
R
est assured that we take genetic selection extremely seriously and the proper development of breeding stock even more seriously. We do not believe that purebred stock need extra pampering and attention. Therefore, our breeding herd is managed within a lower cost management philosophy. For most the year, our cows thrive upon a forage diet. Whether grazing improved pastures or bale grazing these cows work for us! Our management system has become our most effective culling tool, the cows that don’t convert forage efficiently quickly leave our breeding herd. Our 2020 offering of bulls is once again a step ahead of where we were last year, there is an excellent selection of performance, calving ease and highly maternal genetics on offer. We strive to produce cattle that have a balance of these traits and this offering is testament to this.
O
n Saturday March 28th, we will be hosting our Annual Open House. Please join us for this opportunity to view our entire 2020 offering of bulls and the cow herd while enjoying some Kenray Ranch hospitality. By spending more one on one time with our customers we believe that we are better capable of matching you with bulls that will meet your goals & cattle herd’s needs. If you are unable to attend please feel free to give us a call to discuss you bull requirements prior to the start of the sale.
W
e will be hosting an Online Bull Sale once again this year. We recognize that beef producers are an extremely busy group of folks and can have a difficult time getting away from their own operations to attend a bull sale. Therefore, we will be bringing our sale offering right to you in the comfort of your own home via the internet at www.DVAuction.com on April 1st & 2nd. All the bulls will have complete pedigree, performance data, base price along with pictures & videos available for viewing prior to and during the sale. Once bidding opens on April 1st the DVAuction website functions just like an auction sale with the highest bidder owning the bull at the close of the sale at 7:00 p.m. CST on April 2nd. If you do NOT do the computer thing rest assured, we will have a member of the DVAuction team available to assist you with your purchase. Following the sale we offer free delivery to central locations across Western Canada. All other locations will be cost shared. Should you have any questions about the offering or the online sale format please do not hesitate to contact Sheldon (306)452-7545.
Regards,
The Kyle Family
Our Program
Bull Development – we aim to deliver you a sound and functional breeding bull. Our bulls are developed with longevity top of mind while expressing genetic potential. We do not feed a ration high in energy to mask poor performance animals. Our bulls are developed on free choice long stem brome alfalfa hay and hand fed a bull development ration twice daily. This management improves their overall temperament and their docility is appreciated by our customers. Kenray Ranch Guarantee - We guarantee to provide you with a sound breeding bull capable of passing a semen test by 14 months of age. All bulls will be evaluated by a licensed veterinarian and semen tested once they have reached 12 months of age. Should a bull fail to be proven a satisfactory breeder he will either be replaced with a bull of equal quality and value or a refund will be issued. As per the Canadian Angus Association Breeding Guarantee guidelines, in the event of a dispute, the sellers are responsible only to the extent of the purchase price of the said animal. We assume no liability, legal or otherwise, to make any further compensation to buyers. Sight Unseen Program – The program is simple! Call us in advance of the sale to discuss your cowherd, breeding objectives and current herd bull needs. By listening to you and your requirements we will then match you with the bull or bulls that fit your objectives within your price range. We are a family operation so the same people who help you select your bulls are the same people who calve, breed, feed and observe these herd bull prospects and their dams year-round. We will ensure that you get the best bull for your program as reasonably priced as possible – you can count on that! Health Program - all bulls sell under the Kenray Ranch total Herd Health Program. All bulls have received Express 5 Program, Fusogard & Ivomec. Payment - terms are ½ upon receipt following the sale and ½ upon possession of your bull or by May 1. Give us a call to discuss further financing options. The right of property shall not pass until after full settlement is made. Insurance - We strongly encourage you to insure your bull purchases. Alameda Agencies, Bonnie Thompson (306)489-2250 or Keystone Livestock, Lois McRae (204)573-5192. Calving Ease Ranking – Calving ease is affected by a combination of traits and factors as such we have developed an in house calving ease ranking for our bulls based upon individual birth weight, EPD information and physical appraisal of the bulls. * Recommended for use on mature cows // ** Recommended for use on young cows or well grown heifers // *** Recommended for use on heifers

Genetic Evaluations E P D Va lu e s , w h at d o t h e y r ep r e s e n t ?
BW E P D: The birth weight EPD is a figure expressed in pounds and is a predictor of an individual’s contribution to its progeny’s weight at birth WW E P D: The weaning weight EPD is expressed in pounds as the average of weight of his progeny compared to an average bull of the breed for weaning weight Y W E P D: The yearling weight EPD is expressed in pounds as the average weight of his progeny compared to an average bull of the breed for yearling weight. It is the best indicator of overall growth. M i lk E P D: This value is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk as expressed in his daughters, or in other words, the part of weaning weight attributed to a mother’s milk genes. TM E P D: Total Maternal EPD is a combination of an animals Milk EPD added to 50% of its Weaning Weight EPD. It is an indicator of the growth potential of progeny based on performance and milking ability. This value is a better indicator of a cow’s production potential than just Milk. CE E P D: The Calving Ease EPD is a percentage of probability that a bull’s calves will be born without any assistance. Therefore, animals with a higher positive number will have a greater probability of having no calving problems. This value is more useful in identifying calving ease sires than using BW values alone. M C E E P D: The Maternal Calving Ease EPD is a percentage of probability that a bull’s daughter’s calves will be born without any assistance. Therefore, daughters of an animal with a higher positive number will have a greater probability of having no calving problems.
H ow d o I p ut the nu mbe r s to wo rk ? We have provided you with the complete line up of performance data including actual weights, EDPs and percentile rankings. EPDs can be a very valuable selection tool when used properly. We believe that it is important to recognize that EPDs change and become more accurate as more information is available. EPDs for young cattle will change over time as more performance and genomic data is reported.
