Rendezvous Farms 19th Annual Holiday Monday Bull & Female Sale

Welcome & thank you for taking the time to go through our sales catalog as we know & realize how busy everyone is, we seem to spin around the sun just a little faster every year. This will be our 19th consecutive Bull & Female sale & our 44th year raising Simmental seedstock.

We are a mixed farming operation working on a land base of approximately 10,000 acres, half of which is crop land & the other half a split between pasture & hay land. Our cowherd is ran as efficiently as possible, we graze on native pastures & don’t start feeding until the end of November, our cows have been designed for what we feel is the right type of cattle to thrive in this northern climate & raise some heavy weaning, soggy style calves geared for the commercial & seedstock businesses alike.

The offering in all categories are very exciting, the new sire groups on offer add a lot to an already deep & proven base with name stay herdsires anchoring our program with the likes of Charles, Avenger & Legacy just to name a few. You can be assured that every single sire group is of superior & exclusive quality. Be it Red, Fullblood or Blacks, we have your bases covered from Calving Ease prospects to big time performance bulls. The best return on investment in any cow/calf program comes down to the bulls you purchase. We operate under the same model as you our customers, buy top quality bulls & use them.

The heifers on offer are always some of the best value you’ll find all spring, breed them when you want to what you want. This is your only opportunity to buy the sisters to all the bulls in the sale. If you want to raise beef bulls, these girls will do it.

We must acknowledge & thank our amazing customer base, without you, none of this would be possible. From the Dakotas to Eastern Canada to the Rockies, your continued support is so very much appreciated.

The opportunity in today’s market to REALLY choose where and who you buy your bulls from is as important as ever. Therefore, business savvy should dictate this decision and raise Rendezvous Farms to the top of the list. The sheer commitment that this family has taken to owning their own herdsires to make sons exclusively for the commercial or registered breeders is a benefit in itself. The very opportunity, especially to those needing more than one bull, exists to own brothers created from very intentionally created sire groups. This actually goes much deeper as the cowherd has been defined from years of self-owned herd bulls patrolling the pastures creating multiples of sisters that in turn can provide sets of bulls that are more than even just just 1/2 brothers! The pedigrees read deep on stacked generations of walking herdsires at Rendezvous Farms. There is no better way to breed predictability into your calf-crop as to use bulls from a program like this that has done all the research for you!

The succession from several generations now of family that have bred Simmental cattle with common philosophies throughout, is beneficial to the advantage that you have when incorporating a Rendezvous bull into your program. If you’re needing 1, 2 or 10 bulls, the genetic prowess exists here for you to expand that important bottom dollar!

Quality replacement females are always something that exists in any herd’s evolution. The heifers being offered in this large sale are of course sisters sired by the same patriarchs as the bulls. This segment annually offers, as said, a fantastic replacement opportunity, or the start of your new registered herd!

I have often spoke of the agricultural presence that Rendezvous Farms has, not only as a Simmental breeding program, but the diversity that exists inclusive to the respectable sized grain farming operation. This diversity adds more knowledge of the agriculture sector and in many cases, brings a common bond to so many that you will do business together as peers for many years.

Founding generation, Laurent & Lorraine, sadly both passed in 2022, and we once again leave our condolences to all the Maguets. But also happily, we can report that

next generation of the family continues to grow with 2 new children/grandchildren born in the past few months! Congratulations!

We encourage you to join us on February’s Holiday Monday right on the farm, just off Highway 5, South of Ste. Rose in the spacious sale facility to enjoy the excitement of this live auction and of course some great Rendezvous hospitality! The sale offering are conveniently displayed in outdoor pens near the sales arena. All are welcome!

If you can’t attend, but would like to visit about prospects that interest you to better your herd, please don’t hesitate to call any of our cell phones listed. We will be on site the days prior to the sale analyzing the offering and are of course available to bid confidentially for you in your absence. Many cattlemen have successfully used this highly-reputable service with great satisfaction.

For the Maguet Families,

Jaymes E. (Jay) Good

Without a doubt one of the most talked about bulls

Charles was bred by the wonderful people at Lockhart Valley Simmentals, Rimbey, AB. Lee, Tina & Hanna Robson toured us around their farm & made sure to show us the dam of this great bull. After only a few minutes of viewing both “mother & son”, my wife Rachelle & I knew that we had to own Charles, there was no other alternative. We also knew there would be some very strong competition in doing so. When the dust settled, we managed to purchase him outright for a ground breaking $75,000! We felt we needed to add this powerful, perfectly made, genetically unique individual to our herdbull roster for our customers as we know too well that trying to find that ideal individual in the Fullblood business is a very, very tough job. In all honesty, I’ve never been so excited about a bull as the day we saw Charles & that feeling has continued every single day. His first

became our first blaze faced black herdsire. Percy himself is all about performance, his progeny have a lot of jam & should be a great fit for

Black, Homo Polled Our pick of the Beast Mode sons at Lewis’s 2019 sale where they were the feature sire group that year. Bringing fresh new genetics is paramount to our program & Avenger is a bull we are extremely high on. The absolute length of body, mellowness accompanied by square hindquarters makes this young sire a rising star with a lot of potential for years to come. Avenger saw heavy service in 2020 & we have a bunch of awesome looking calves already hitting the ground.

When I found this

at

really

know what they say about first

The more

the better I liked him & felt he would be the answer for heifers. With an 84lbs birth weight, +10.9

number, on top of a smooth shouldered, small head & long bodied conformation we figured this guy would be ideal for

program. Blair also showed me his dam & she is a nice moderate made female with a nice udder. Fast track things to January 2020 when the real test would come to reality. Perhaps the easiest calving sire we’ve used to date. These Legacy calves slide out so easily, a few pushes & they are out. We are absolutely thrilled with how his calves get up & grow. You will be impressed with his offering & considering all of his sons & daughters are out of first calf heifers. Calving Ease & growth, all in a desirable package. We have nothing but good things to say about this young sire.

was purchased sight unseen by Lakeside Ranch of Eriksdale,

Hardly a week into the ‘21 breeding season, his sire, Direct Drive suffered a major injury ending his career. Not knowing where we would find a Homo Polled, Homo Black bull suitable for heifers, we looked into our own bull pen. Many thanks to Frankie on allowing us to use his bull until the end of April that year. The resulting calves were exactly what we expected. They came out small & easy & have developed extremely well, displaying a lot of natural flesh, muscling ability & a great topline. You’ll

Hetero Polled, Hetero Black Performance, length, thickness & depth all in a well built package. 182K is pretty hard to punch any holes in. Soggy made, wide topped bull, he will crank out some scale crunching steer calves. His daughters will be top caliber, following into his mother’s footsteps. Karson Haman of Rugby, ND has a maternal brother in their family’s 900hd cow/calf operation along with the good folks at K Bar Livestock of Ste. Rose who own another brother.

Polled, Homo Black A stout made bull who was born at 93lbs, he should give you the performance we all seek & still give you the calving ease advantage. Wide topped, thick butted with a large set of testicles. I can just picture him mature, he will be impressive. A brother sold in last year’s sale to Haman Ranch, ND. The Haman’s purchased 9 outstanding bulls in last year’s sale. We certainly appreciate their support!

Homo Polled, Hetero Black

These Avenger sons sure have that extra rib which translates into superior length & more payweight when selling your calves. Get behind this guy & examine his square made quarter & top. Big testicles, he’s a masculine bull with Herdsire written all over him. A full brother was selected by Brett Cobbs of Springbrook Farms, SK. Another brother sold for top dollar to Glen Aldentaler, SD & another bull went to Jim Geisel, MB.

Homo Polled, Homo Black

A bull who catches your attention when walking through the group. He certainly has a presence about him. The heaviest black on weaning day, crunching the scale at 1095lbs at the end of August. An awesome performance bull who checks off the boxes for even the most discriminating cattlemen, ranking in the top 1% for both WW & YW EPD’s. The dam of this bull is also a front pasture kind of cow, she has a beautiful udder, blaze down the middle of her head & a whole pile of middle & thickness. We have a full sister to this bull in our herd & she is set to calve in January. A maternal brother sold in 2021 to the great folks at Haman Ranch in Rugby, ND. The Haman family have been volume buyers in both 21 & 22 with a total of 15 bulls going to their program.

Homo Polled, Hetero Black

It truly feels repetitive when talking about these Avenger sons. They are all like peas in a pod. A bull with a lot of performance, just look at his weaning weight. His birth weight is a bit higher but he was born unassisted & is expected as his mother always has a bit heavier calf due to the extreme length. We’ve all learnt the value of pounds coming from long cattle, a trait that is worth capitalizing on. A full brother was selected last year by repeat customer Darwin Froese of Grandview, MB for $6750.

Homo Polled, Hetero Black

The Avenger X Western Star combination is a sure fire bet around here. You’d be hard pressed to find any longer spined Herdsire’s then the above two mentioned. Tack on the signature udder profiles & easy keeping traits the Western Star mothers all hold & you’re well on your way to breeding the right kind of cattle for today. We have a full sister to 54K in our herd, another sister sold last year to long time customers & respected cattle breeders, Percyview Farms of Kisbey, SK. Another maternal sister was a high seller a few years back to Les Entreprises JP Barrettes of Quebec.

Polled, Homo Black A younger Avenger son whose dam is one of our top

Homo Polled, Hetero Black A solid made individual with a balanced set of numbers. These Percy sons though less in numbers this year are really quite impressive. This guy is long bodied, good footed & has a big set of nuts. A brother sold last year to Ironside Ranch of Manitou, MB with T Bar’s Levi Rimke handling the order. Other siblings have sold to Siroski Simmentals, SK, Mark Ferguson, MB & Vigfusson Farms Ltd, MB.

Homo Polled, Homo Black 488K was dubbed “The Penguin” by our herdsman Trevor Kristjanson. A bull who’s easy to pick out, not just on account of his cool color scheme but his overall fleshing ability. Talk about a bull with some capacity & rib. From head to tail, he’s built like a tank. Thick made, moves like a cat, he’s the real deal. 488K ranks in the top 3% of the breed for both WW & YW EPD’s. The grand dam of this bull is a powerful cow who’s cranked a couple crackerjacks in the last few years. Ferme Gobeil Enr of Quebec purchased a sister to 488K in our 2021 sale.

Homo Polled, Hetero Black

An outstanding 476H son with that curve bending ability, his low 82lbs birth weight, born unassisted to a first calf Powershift female. His WW tells the tale of following into his father’s breeding ability footsteps, weighing in at 910lbs at the end of August. A very well-balanced bull whom mark’s very high on a lot of people’s checklist. Mark this guy down.

RENDEZVOUS

Hetero Polled, Homo Black A ¾ sib to the 18K bull, there’s a lot of merit when it comes to running ¾ brothers together with the same group of cows. Calf crop uniformity is huge. Talk to anyone who sells their calves by the liner load & they’ll tell you that’s the biggest key into unlocking the best bid. The dam of this bull will have a strong future here, she goes back to a solid cow family we can trace for over 4 decades.

Polled, Hetero Black Our only black single cross bull this year, mothered by a first calf Fullblood female. A bull with a balanced set of numbers, he would be a great fit on second calving black females. Adding that shot of Fullblood behind him will greatly benefit your calf crop all the while keeping the variables in check.

Homo Polled, Homo Black

A beefy Dynasty son with a touch of the money stripe. An easy fleshing bull who adds a bit of that Fleck influence on his grandmother’s side all the time maintaining the polled trait & color being Homo Homo. This guy’s quarter comes down low & carries that extra meat which will translate into poundage. This guy is climbing to the top of the favourite’s list more as every day goes by. Use him on some 2nd or 3rd calvers & he will get the job done.

Hetero Polled, Homo Black

If you like them big, long & powerful with some chrome, then 164K is the bull for you. A bull with a lot of grow, he pushed the scale down hard at weaning time, weighing in at 1075lbs. His mother isn’t our biggest cow, but year after year she lays down, has a super long calf which does translate into a bit more birthweight but always does it effortlessly without assistance. Brothers to 164K have both went to North Dakota to guys who like to produce calves that tip the scales. David & Dawsen Bueligen own one brother along with Joe Haman & the boys owning the other one.

Hetero

Polled, Hetero Black

A bull with a lot of punch. Soggy sided, thick made with a lot of rib. We really like the way this baldy bull is put together. His dam is a fantastic cow who’s gained some notoriety being the mother of Rendezvous Paramount who sold as our high selling black bull a few years back. He’s done a great job at Spring Creek Simmentals, the results were evident last December at their dispersal. Buy with confidence with 230K.

Hetero Polled, Homo Black

A bull with a ton of capacity, spring of rib & wide topline. This guy would also be an outcross to all of our other black bulls on offer being mothered by a Meadow Acres cow that goes back to their famed Pashmenia cow family. The dam is a big broody cow who packs some punch. 109K should be a double duty kind of bull, siring both market topping steers & tremendous replacement heifers.

Homo Polled, Homo Black

As time has progressed, one has to really appreciate the growth in this March born rascal. He boasts a ton of capacity, deep rib & wide top. I can just visualize him as a mature bull & he will be the one everyone picks out first. The Adj WW on this bull is worth noting. The grandmother of this bull typically cranks out one of the most powerful bulls every year, this year being no exception, check out lot 8. There’s a lot of strength in this 98K bull’s pedigree. I’ve seen bulls like this end up being the sleeper of the sale, mark him down in your catalog, he ranks extremely high in our books.

Another useful solid red, natural dehorner here. Without being repetitive in these notes, this bull has that Centurion trademark of length, thickness & structural soundness he stamps all his progeny with. A different pedigree on the dam’s side, tracing back to a black 680S son we purchased from Barry LaBatte over 10 years ago. Not too often you will find any 680S breeding in the red Simmis, here’s an opportunity for any one wanting to add that bloodline into your program.

Things got a bit muddy this spring

Homo Polled

If there was ever a bull we could make the poster boy for this breed it would be 183K. What a standout bull. He is impressive from every angle. Thick & soggy, deep bodied with unreal spring of rib. This guy has the hair we need along with the thick, wide hind quarters & large testicles. He has herdbull written all over him. Weaning off at 1040lbs, this guy has been one we’ve been watching since he was a young calf. If your game is raising quality stock be it purebred or commercial, here’s a bull who would do a lot of good in anyone’s program. Sisters to this guy have sold to Percyview Farms, SK & Brett Siroski, SK.

Homo Polled

A bull who I would recommend to the most critical rancher, just on his mother’s merit alone. A stout made, deep bodied, soggy bull who has those easy keeping genetics built right into him. His Benjamin mother is a never miss cow. She’s a hassle free, bring home the bacon kind of cow. She raised a $10,000 Patriot son a few years ago going to Aldentalers of South Dakota. She’s also sent offspring to Triangle 33 Simmentals, SK, Double G Farms, SK, Abraham Farms, SK along with 2 daughters retained in our own herd. We could go on & on about this bull but will spare you the reading time & give you more time to visual evaluate this awesome bull for what he is.

Homo Polled

A square hipped, wide topped beef bull who will definitely add some meat to his offspring. 71K has a balanced set of numbers & has a few Skor bulls on the bottom side. We all know the impact the Skor program has had in the Simmental world. A full brother sold in last year’s sale to long time customer Greg Dunning of McCreary, MB. A sister to 71K has a Glacier son selling in the sale, he is lot 38. You’ll notice a lot of the same characteristics in that guy as well, which in turn shows you the consistency of these cattle we are raising.

Homo Polled

A popular bull in the pen with his baldy appearance package. From hoof to tail, this bull is super correctly built. Thick butted, wide topped with good length & depth. His hair coat is what we as breeders aim for, like it or not in our cold climate, these kinds of cattle excel. The 151A cow has been a pillar in our herd, she has generated a lot of revenue over the years & put a lot of sons in daughters in some of the leading herds across the continent such as Hill 70 Quantock, SK, Craig & Shannon Mills, SK, Taylor Wilton, MB, Boomer Creek Livestock, ON, Wilson Stock Farm, AB, Lone Butte Ranching, AB & Triple V Ranch, ND.

had. A maternal sister sold in 2021 to Bernard Viel of Quebec for his registered herd.

Homo Polled A smooth made blaze faced bull who’s got a nice head & profile. The dam of this bull was an awesome looking cow with a beauty of an udder. She unfortunately got a bad bout of foot rot over summer & we had to send her to town. She struggled this summer to keep with the rest of the herd so her calf didn’t quite wean off at where he should have but he’s really picked up the pace since then. Put all those things into consideration when evaluating this guy. A maternal brother was a feature red blaze bull last year, he sold for $13,500 last year going to an awesome

operation near Hodgeville, SK, Stolson Farms Ltd.

Homo Polled

A popular bull here to say the least, he’s been a real showboat since a young age. Exceptionally long bodied, thick made, super deep sided with a lot of eye appeal makes 458K one of the top bulls in this large offering. You’ll have a hard time picking this guy apart. Watch him strut his stuff in real life or on his video, you will see he has that confident “I’m a herdbull look’. The dam of this bull is one of my favourite young red cows, she is exactly what we aim our program to look like. If there was ever a red cow to flush here, it would be the dam of 458K. Last year a maternal brother sold to one of the sharpest cattlemen we have the privilege of doing business with, Ron Boerchers of Rainy Ridge Farms just down the road in Laurier, MB. Talking to Ron in November, he told me that’s the nicest bull he’s ever purchased… and Ron has been known to always pick out the good ones!

Polled A ¾ brother to the lot 58 bull. Between color & structure, pair these two together & they fit nicely together. 55K is wide topped, with quarters that come down low. A bull that would work well on some Hereford influenced cows or more Fullblood like Sims. A maternal brother sold in 2021 to 49th Parallel Farms Ltd of Pilot Butte, SK.

Homo Polled

We challenge you to find a darker red/purple bull than 34K. You can’t eat color, however if your selling replacement females you’ll likely already be aware how the dark red ones will be selected early on. 34K brings that element of no worries calving ease with his sire, Centurion, his grand sire Rambo & great grandsire Express. A maternal brother was purchased in our 2021 sale by 4M Cattle Co, Kevin Marcinek, AB to use in his heifer pen.

A stout made bull who won’t quite have his first birthday by sale day. None the less, this thick butted rascal is all meat & no

He has a nice head & smooth shoulders, if he’s anything like his sire, he will calve really well & sire calves with a bunch of growth. A brother sold last year for $8500 to long time customers & guys we call friends, Wilco & Eric Van Meijl of Rapid City, MB. Another brother

Homo Polled

The only half blood bull on offer & he’s a heavy hitter. Long bodied, smooth made, this F1 is the real cat’s meow. Mothered by a moderate framed Red Angus cow with a tidy udder. 1002K is actually owned by our herdsman Trevor Kristjanson. Trevor has a few cows here with us, this is his only bull this year & he’s a real dandy. Unregistered.

Consigned by Trevor, Kayla & Axel Kristjanson

Homo Polled

A son out of the lead off Rampage bull in our 2021 sale who was purchased by Cole & Landon Weiss of Maple Creek, SK for $17,000. We used this exciting dark red bull on a handful of cows that spring before delivery & here is one of the resulting offspring. 43K is very well put together & checks off a lot of the boxes. Thick butted, hairy, long bodied & smooth built best describes this bull. His dam is a great young cow who goes back to a Bodybuilder female who was a front pasture kind of cow. 43K is a bull who’s easy to recommend.

Homo Polled

A very interesting herdsire candidate. 102K came to us in dam from Jeff McRuer & family of Boissevain. We purchased this SVS Tycoon daughter as the high selling red female at Transcon’s Season Wrap Up sale. This heifer laid down & calved this calf unassisted as I watched from my camera on the phone as we did chores. Since a day of age, this young guy has impressed us & has really kept up the pace. Thick made, long bodied with a pile of depth & performance. His pedigree is also a different twist for most. Considering he was born to a heifer, he weighed in at 985lbs at weaning time, needless to say that is quite a feat in itself. Expect good things to come from this outstanding bull.

Homo Polled

Perhaps the longest bodied bull in the entire offering. That says a lot since we’ve always pushed to breed cattle with that extra length of body. There’re not many free things in this business but length will give you free pounds which in turn is the difference between breaking even & making a profit. This bull is very gentle in his demeanor. We have a Legacy sired sister in our herd, she’s a real dandy. 336K will give you maternal power on the female end & steer calves that push down hard on the scale on sale day. Homo Polled These blaze faced bulls are always popular with all progressive commercial breeders. It’s no wonder, sit in at any local auction barn & watch those blaze faced calves top the market across the country. That distinguished Simmental influence

Homo Polled

A choice bull here. If we had to retain a Thriller son to replace him at some point, we would be leaning pretty hard on this guy. This meat machine is super thick butted, full in the flank, deep bodied with great rib expression. A bull who will have some friends on sale day. His mother is an awesome blaze faced Caesar cow who impresses anyone while pasture touring. She’s a big volume, high production kind of cow, being no stranger when it comes to raising the good ones. Last year she produced a high selling red at $13,500, he was selected by top cattleman, Ryan Stolson, SK. The year before, she raised a high selling red heifer who was selected by another long time reputable cattle outfit, Double RN Ranching Corp.

Homo Polled

A Thriller son who ranks at the top of the red pen. As breeders we typically know which cows have that extra potential to crank out multiple top end bulls, 197K is no fluke. The dam of this bull is a phenomenal mother cow, dark red, good uddered, great milking, deep bodied, easy keeping female. She also raised our high selling bull in 2021, Rendezvous Lombardi at $21,500 to Beechinor Bros, AB. John has been very pleased with the way Lombardi has worked & you will see some sons selling in their bull sale this spring. 197K is a long bodied, hard muscled, deep bodied bull who has a real presence about him. A bull with a bright future ahead of him.

RENDEZVOUS LOMBARDI MATERNAL BROTHER TO LOT 58

AIA 424J (left) & AIA 353H MATERNAL SIBLINGS TO LOT 57

Homo Polled

A popular red bull, he commands your attention with his thick made profile & impressive body conformation. A solid made individual, his mother has been a heck of a cow, this is her 4th consecutive son to make the bull sale. A full brother sold last year to long time customer, Mark Ferguson of Gladstone for $6000, the year before a Patriot sired brother went to Haman Ranch of Rugby, ND for $7000 & the first brother to sell through the ring in 2020 was selected by Schmitt Ranch, also of Rugby for $8750. When you have high caliber cattle outfits like the above mentioned, that in itself is a real testament to the confidence they hold in this bull program.

Homo Polled Likely one of the top red bulls to sell in this province all year. We just can’t say enough about this amazing powerhouse. Dark purple red, long bodied, exceptionally thick butted, wide topped with a ton of depth, he looks the part from every avenue. Glacier has bred extremely well & this guy definitely takes the cake. If you like performance, which who doesn’t, his 1050lbs weaning weight tells the tale of what kind of potential 39K beholds. The mother of this bull is no slouch of a cow around here, in fact she would rank in the top 3 for our red cows. She’s awfully hard to fault & has the track record to prove it. Her first son was our lead off bull in 2021 selling for $17,000 to Weis Cattle Co of Maple Creek, SK. Last year’s son was also a feature bringing $11,500 to Darrin Bulas of Plumas, MB.

Homo Polled

A ripping good power bull, here’s a candidate for your top cows to make those big heavy steers the order buyers fight over in the fall. A wide topped bull with a deep quarter, he will mature into a very impressive bull. His mother is a fantastic broody cow who cranks out the good ones. A brother sold to Bert & Brett Levandoski of Eden, MB in 2021. The Levandoski’s have bought 12 bulls here in the last 6 sales, we really appreciate your support every year. Another brother sold in 2018 to Bar 7 Farms Ltd., where he has gone on to be on of their feature herdsires.

AIA

RENDEZVOUS

Homo Polled Again, a long bodied, thick made Glacier son who displays a lot of that same muscle mass as his sire. This guy moves out really well & also showcases great depth. Get him moving around in the pen & you’ll like what you see. A brother sold in the 2021 sale to Travis Burgard of Rugby, ND for $6000 & another brother in 2019 to Paul & Dee Valstar of Springside, SK for $7500. 97K will be a value purchase, just like his siblings.

Hetero Polled A rugged Glacier son with a great thick hair coat. We really can’t say enough about these Glacier calves. 37K is thick butted, wide topped & all around a soggy made individual. A maternal brother sold in 2021 to Craig Stochmanski of Shellbrook, SK for $9500. Another brother the year before

Hetero Polled

A good power bull here, backed by a great young Patriot cow. If there was one bull in the last 5 years that really shined through & surpassed our expectations with not only his sons but his daughters, it would be Patriot. The udders & feet on these cows are just ideal. 178K is a top notch bull from front to back. Thick butted, lots of hair, long bodied with good depth & balance. With so many red bulls this year, touring the pen can get a bit intimidating however, going home with this bull would be one of the best decisions you could make for your herd. A brother to this guy was one of my top picks back in our 2021 sale, he was selected by Dave Schultz to use in his registered herd.

Hetero Polled

Cowboys look here, a blaze faced powerhouse with a thick haircoat for those frigid temperatures. Length of spine, depth of rib & absolute wide, thick quarter makes this guy a top prospect for any high end commercial breeder. He reminds us a lot of his sire in the way he is built. A brother to this guy sold in 2021 to Geisler Cattle Co for $12,000. Randy is an elite cattleman & doesn’t shy away from buying the good ones, he’s built his herd with using only the best bulls & top management skills. 279K will put you on the map with the calves he’ll produce, just get him bought.

Hetero Polled

Be the first to get a Hershey son this season, you won’t regret it. Just like the Hershey bull, 166K is a curve bender. Born at 76lbs & weaning off the cow at 875lbs at the end of August, those stats are what the cow/calf business is all about. This bull is long bodied, dark red & has a great hair coat. A free moving individual, be it via video or in person, you’ll like what you see.

Homo Polled

They say conformation is key, well here’s your gateway to breeding correct made cattle. 269K is in our opinion, an ideal built bull. From top to bottom, front to back, he is smooth & shows that extra refinement, starting with his appealing head & eye appeal. Long bodied, deep sided & thick quartered & very well filled in the flank area this is a very exciting herdsire prospect. The dam of this bull is a lovely good volumed cow with a super tidy udder & perfect teat placement. She weaned this guy off at 1020lbs, rough math would peg her yielding 68% of her body weight in about 8 months.

Homo Polled

The demand for these blaze faced bulls & replacement females has skyrocketed the last half dozen years. That signature Simmental look essentially secures you an easy dime per pound when selling your calves through the ring in town. 237K himself is long bodied, smooth shouldered, correct made, he’s hard not to keep coming back to when touring the pen. A brother a few years ago sold for $10,000 to Glen Aldentaler of Britton, SD. Another brother was selected by VanBuuren Stock Farms of Pipestone, MB.

Homo Polled

Where do I even start with this guy! Here’s an awesome herdbull prospect out of a fantastic first calver. 251K is a blaze faced beef machine. A barrel on 4 legs essentially. He moves out so well & has always carried that extra condition even at 3wks of age. Wide topped, thick butted, this is the goal for a first calver, look at those curve bending numbers from birth to weaning, pretty impressive. You won’t find too many heifers that crank out 940lbs calves at weaning time, but when you do, buying such offspring is a heck of a great hedge for your next calf crop.

Homo Polled

A heifer bull prospect in our humble opinion. Born small at 81lbs & 11.5CE he ranks in the top 15 percentile of the breed. Small head, smooth shoulders all the things we search for in the never ending heifer bull quest. This super hairy bull is still thick made & has great structure. The pedigree on the bottom side is also very unique, boasting some legendary bulls we’ve used in the past yet you won’t find much of elsewhere. This bull is a real find.

Homo Polled

A remarkable bull born to a fabulous easy keeping Walkerson daughter. The dam of this bull is one of our top blaze faced females born in her respective year. With her first kick at the can, producing such an impressive bull as 358K tells us she will have a bright future here. This particular bull has a lot of potential to breed him to a multitude of different cows in your program as he checks off a lot of the boxes when herdsire hunting. He’s also in the top 15% of the breed for both CE & BW.

Hetero Polled A candidate for the heifer

Hetero Polled

A single cross red bull mothered by a fabulous first calving Commander female. Seeing this cross with our Fullblood heifers makes us want to do more of this & go back to what made these reds so popular. A super solid cow family backs this beef bull, the grandmother 145D has raised a lot of good useful bulls & traces back to our foundation SU Kameo 55K cow. Be sure to have a good long look at this guy, he’s worth your time.

Hetero Polled

A personal favourite of mine in the calving ease/heifer bull department. Check out his numbers, they are extremely impressive, both EPD’s & actual weights. With a +12.4 CE, that puts him in the top 5% of the entire breed. This baldy bull is smooth made, long bodied, thick butted & has those slender shoulders that will definitely translate into calving ease. I wish we had a picture of this guy with his mother at pasture as they both have the exact same baldy face. Expect to hear more about this guy’s dam, she’s done a fabulous job on her first calf.

RENDEZVOUS 58K

Homo Polled These Legacy sons are sure easy on the eyes. We’ve come to really appreciate everything the Legacy bull has done around here. Unfortunately, due to an injury, this will be his last calf crop. Swing on a few of these Legacy sons like 58K & don’t miss. They’ll make a great impact on your herd. 58K comes from a great cow family, the amount of bulls that have come out of this family would be mind boggling if we did the math. Buy with confidence here.

Homo Polled Yet another dark red Legacy son who is more of a calving ease type bull. Small head, finer boned, he should follow in his father’s footsteps. The dam is a first calving Rampage female, this entire cow family holds that “purple red” color gene. The grandmother is such an easy keeping cow, I just don’t think you could starve that cow even if you fed her cat tails all year. The great grandmother is still in production, the 599Y cow has given us many replacement females along with a bunch of marketable sons in her career.

Homo Polled This guy was on our short list for retaining in

own

as a replacement for his sire, Legacy. We will probably be kicking ourselves in a year’s time not having kept him back. A bull we would have used in the heifer pen, that’s for sure. Born small, like all Legacy offspring, 417K has developed very well. His mother is a lovely young Mandako female who went back to a pillar red cow, 475X. Being able to trace cows back 40+ years with our herd prefix is a real advantage when it comes to making those important breeding decisions. 417K will no doubt be the silver bullet you’ve been looking for in the CE department. We couldn’t get a good picture of 417K but be sure to watch the video to get a true feeling of what we mean.

Hetero Polled

A heifer bull prospect, to top things off, he’s got some chrome & comes from a moderate made Fullblood female. This smooth made bull reminds us a lot of his sire, the $25,000 LFE Empire bull we purchased back in 2020 from Lewis Farms. We all know the challenge of finding that bonafide heifer bull that will also produce you some quality calves. 448K should be one on your radar this spring with is wicked birth to weaning growth curve. He’s off the charts!

Hetero Polled

An interesting individual here. Born to a first calving Fullblood Virginia Banquet daughter, he came to life small & vigorously at 73lbs. Come weaning time, he surprised us all weighing in at a whopping 905lbs. This guy encompasses both calving ease & performance genetics all in a moderate but efficiently built package. Capitalize on owning an Empire son this year as this will be his last calf crop to sell. The Empire bull now calls Morgan Farms of Sifton, MB home.

Homo Polled

Probably the best Empire son to sell to date. I don’t usually make such bold statements however 437K is really a cut above the rest. On paper this guy spells out calving ease. In real life when you start circling & evaluating him, you quickly realize he is also going to sire some growth in his calves. Likely the best of both worlds here. A bull whom we’ve really contemplated retaining for our own heifer pen, however we decided to offer him to the public. Opportunity knocks.

RENDEZVOUS 175K

in memory of

Hetero Polled We always breed our Fullblood females either red or black the first year as heifers & 175K is a great example of the results. A deep sided, long bodied bull mothered by one of our very top Charles daughters last year. The mother is actually a full sister to Rendezvous Max, the $27,000 bull that McRuer Simmentals purchased a few years back & did extremely well with. Max is now working at Vandevelde’s registered herd now.

Laurent & Lorraine

Grandma & Grandpa, married for 72 years, passed away within 4 days of each other. They worked hard & established this farm and are the reason our family has been in the purebred business for close to 8 decades. We would not be where we are today if it wasn’t for all of their efforts & devotion, their love of the land & their livestock. May they rest in peace together forever.

fullblood bulls

Non-Dilutor This has been an absolute bullet proof combination for us. Breeding Charles to 85Z is a winning combination year after year. This particular bull is no exception. A very long bodied, deep ribbed, exceptionally thick butted bull with a perfect color pattern. Big testicles, masculine looking with his crest, he’s a humdinger. Full brothers have been high sellers & have averaged $13,250. They’ve sold to some of the leading commercial herds we have the privilege of doing business with, Kotowich Evergreen Farms, AB, Zdan Farms, MB & Mack Ranch, ND. We’ve only ever made one sister available; she was scooped up right away by keen Simmental enthusiast, Henry Janssen of Ste. Rose. Henry could school a lot of ppl on bloodlines.Obviously the mother of this bull has been one of our top producing cows in her career, she’s generated over $62,000 of revenue with 7 calves. The numbers don’t lie with 85K, all signs point to great things for this fella’s future.

Non-Dilutor Another bulletproof combination here, we’ve bred the 118Z cow to Charles since the first year we purchased the old boy. This will be the 6th Charles X 118Z calf, we’ve retained 2 sisters in our herd, sold one through the sale where she was a high seller at $7000 to Crimson Creek Simmentals, MB. Brothers have sold to Roach Ranching, SK for $13,000 and Andres Stock & Seed & Jason Becker partnered on one at $15,500. This year’s bull is one of the longest bodied bulls in the entire offering, he’s marked the way we want them & is an overall very appealing package. Large testicles, yet smooth made with his length, he should calve well & produce some growthy calves. Mark this guy down, he’s got the credentials to make a difference in your herd.

AIA 118G MATERNAL BROTHER TO LOT 101

Non-Dilutor

A poster boy for what most sought after Fullblood bulls should look like. Deep dark cherry red, masculine crest, long bodied, thick butted, wide topped, big nutted, he’s the whole package. We’ve sold 82 Charles sons to date not including this year’s offering, all by natural service might we add. 369K would rank at the top end of all these bulls bred here. His numbers read exceptionally well, his Milk EPD’s puts him in the top 2% of the breed. A bull who deserves some serious consideration from both purebred & commercial beef producers. A full brother sold in 2021 to Leonard & Blair Zdan of Alonsa, MB for $10,000.

Non-Dilutor

Slam dunk once again with this genetic combination. Another powerhouse bull, there’s a reason why this guy’s mother gets bred the same way every single year. A feature Fullblood, he’s looked stellar since a week of age. Weaning off at 1035lbs & boasting a jaw dropping +46 for Milk puts him in the top 1% of the breed. Long bodied, thick made, stands correctly & walks like a boss, here’s a bull that will get things done. Full brothers have been high sellers every year, in 2020 Maple Lake Stock Farms purchased a brother for $19,000 being the lead off bull that year. In 2021 another full brother was selected by Lake Manitoba Cattle Co of Vogar for $13,000 to use in their highly respected program. Then last year in 2022, Dustin Heitkamp of Wyndmere, ND purchased another full brother for $12,000. Pretty tough to argue with that kind of track record let alone reputation outfits purchasing those bulls.

Non-Dilutor

A true representation of both sire groups, Charles & Commander in this bull. Bred with a strong pedigree, he checks off the visual boxes along with the numbers to back it. Without going into a long tangent about the merits of using a Fullblood bull on your black or red cows, talk to a neighbor who’s doing the cross already. You’ll corner the replacement heifer market in a jiffy this way.

Non-Dilutor

Colored just like momma & his daddy, this awesome bull is an exciting individual. Smooth made, small head & built right, here’s a bull who could work in a multitude of different herds & programs. We purchased his dam as a bred heifer from Eric & Doug Zimmer of Spring Lake Simmentals a few years back, she’s been a great producer & like Doug had told us “She’ll make a good honest cow” 3K himself has great feet, is very docile & ranks in the top 2% of the breed with a +42 for Milk. Look to this bull to raise you some amazing replacement females, if they’re anything like his dam, you’ll be pleased. A maternal brother sold last year for $9000 to a really astute cattleman, Ken from Huron Colony, SK.

Non-Dilutor

The youngest bull on offer & the last calf born in 2022. We typically don’t sell that many younger bulls like this however this guy we know will mature to be a top prospect. His dam is a roomy, easy keeping, good milking momma cow who’s done extremely well for us. Two full brothers to 191K have been purchased as high sellers for $13,000 & $13,500 to Jason Becker & Jeremy Andres out in the Roblin area. Typically when someone comes back the following year & buys a full brother, it’s for a very good reason. Take that into consideration when looking at this 191K bull. A full sister to these guys has one of our best Starfire sons selling, he’s lot 122. This just goes to show you the power in this guy’s breeding.

March born calf, but mothered by a productive, big, broody Jahari cow.

A stout made bull with that extra capacity & rib development. Wide topped, thick butted, loose hided, he’s a well put together bull that stands out. This is the kind of bull that will breed even better than you hope for. He reminds us a lot of his full brother who was one of the leads offs in last year’s sale. He was purchased for $11,500 by Kotowich Evergreen Farms of St. Paul, AB. If you’re ever up in that neck of the woods I encourage anyone to look these hard working folks up, you will be impressed by perhaps the best F1 SimmX Hereford cross cows in this country. Their replacement females top the market every year at NLS in Lloyd for a reason.

A rugged, stout made beef bull who will stamp his calves with a thick hind quarter, a ton of hair & some punch. Mothered by a great young Charles female with a super tidy udder, she traces back to a legendary cow family here, the 80U grandmother then goes back to the old 74D cow whose descendants always end up being features. A maternal brother sold in the 2021 sale for $10,000 to Ken of Huron Colony.

If this bull isn’t the ideal type for the commercial beef industry, it might be time for us to retire! A rugged, masculine beef bull who’s got it all. Depth, thickness, loin, filled in the flank, the list goes on. One also has to touch on his hair coat, this is something we breed for & feel is very necessary with how frigid our winters can be. Weaning off his mother at 1005lbs at the end of August, he just spells payweight. A full brother sold $9000 in 2021 to first time Simmental buyer, Gumbo Flats Ranch, ND. Another brother sold a few years ago, sired by Charles brought $12,500 to Austin Vollman, SK. A Charles sired sister was a high seller in 2018, where she’s done a tremendous job for Brooks Simmentals, SK.

very well pigmented bull with a ton of depth. You’d be hard pressed to find a deeper sided bull than 272K. He may not win the show ring, however he’ll do much more than that by producing sound functional females. His mother is a lovely cow with super feet & legs & a ideal udder for a Fullblood cow. A brother to 272K went to work last year at Zdan Farms. A few years before that another brother sold to Darrell Goosen & boys of Kelwood. Darrell runs Ridge

Non-Dilutor These quality Fullblood bulls aren’t easy to come by these days. They are no doubt tougher to make but when you hit the ball, it’s usually a home run. 40K is a long bodied, good haired, thick butted beef bull, he’s the rugged kind that pay their way & do a lot of good for a herd. His mother was our best Charles daughter born in 2019. The picture of her is as a bred heifer in October of 2020 on just dried out grass. She raised a sweet made heifer who sold in last year’s sale & was selected by Trevor Kristjanson…when the guy who works with

on which one to pick.

Non-Dilutor

fan favourite since a young age, this dark red goggle-eyed bull has the length, thickness, depth of body that really sets him apart. No doubt one of the features of his particular sire group. His mother was the pick of our G heifers in her respective year. Her full brothers have averaged over $13,000. It’s always the same cow families that yield your top calves every year & this is a great example of that scenario. A bull with big testicles, masculinity & character, he will have some friends on sale day. Would work really well on a pen of black cows being a non-dilutor.

RENDEZVOUS 59K

Brightstone Colony, MB & daugthers to HEMA Simmental, QC & J Bar K Farms, MB.

Non-Dilutor

22K will just be year old by sale day, he’s a sharp looking Starfire son & mothered by a great producing Nero cow. When studying Fullblood genetics, one could say that he holds a rich & more diverse pedigree than a lot of the FB cattle you’ll find out there today. A maternal brother was selected for $7500 by Paul & Dee Valstar of Springside, SK in 2020. A sister sold in 2019 to TJ Farms of Drake, SK. A sister to 22K has a really impressive Commander son in the sale, he sell as lot 114.

A feature black heifer who really stands out. If you’re looking for a female with a bit more jam, here is one to consider. Long bodied, deep sided & broody, she will make a fabulous mother cow. Siblings to 12K have sold to North Coulee Cattle, SK, Chad Blair, MB, Clint Sigurdson, MB, Alex Ayotte, MB & Tiffany Sobie, MB.

A March born heifer out of a very roomy & wide topped mother cow. This heifer ranks in the top 15% for YWT EPD’s. A maternal sister was selected by Hugh MacNeil of Brantford, ON in our 2021 sale.

These Avenger daughters mature into front pasture kind of cows. When you purchase a bull, you always have expectations on how they will perform & add to your program. Avenger has exceeded all expectations, he has been a real game changer here. 492K is a soggy made, easy keeping female, just like her Mandako mother. A maternal brother sold to Kevin Peterson & family along with a sister going to long time customers, Percyview Farms Ltd.

The Percy daughters seem to be crowd favourites year after year. Their extra rib, power & punch doesn’t go unnoticed. You can also except to have ideal udders & confirmation with this sire group. We have two maternal sisters in our herd, another sister sold to LaBatte Simmentals, SK. B. Levandoski Cattle of Eden along with Haman Ranch of Rugby, ND each own a maternal brother as well.

seems to always grab everyone’s attention while in the pen. A classy looking female with a great top, thick hind quarters & great spring of rib. The bottom side of the pedigree includes some foundation Lewis bred bulls we used over the years.

I’m not entirely sure why we are selling this heifer however we certainly can’t retain them all. This heifer has some top black bulls in the pedigree plus you’ll notice some Charles breeding on the very bottom. Pretty neat genetic combination. The dam of this cow is a really easy keeping blaze faced cow. She raised a bull who sold in last year’s sale to repeat customers, Momotiuk Farms of Winnipegosis to use in their heifer pen.

We all know a crucial trait in this business is longevity & fertility. 625K was raised by a 15 year old cow who’s never missed a beat. We’ve retained 6 sisters to this heifer over the years. A brother was used successfully in Jack Hansen’s purebred program in Ontario where they marketed numerous offspring from that bull.

One of the heavier red heifers come weaning time. Our cows with heifer pairs go out on a pasture that is 15 quarters & has minimal cross fences, one paddock being 1000ac. They are not pampered, this is real world cattle that have to work. 539K is exactly that & will thrive under those conditions. If you want to raise bulls, here’s one that is bred for that job.

These Thriller heifers all stand out with their extra hair & look. Low to the ground & soggy, they are meat machines. The dam of this heifer has been a stellar producer, she also has a beautiful tidy udder. She’s raised some solid bulls selling to leading commercial breeders such as Glen Aldentaler, SD, Morgan Farms, MB, Belle Plaine Colony, SK.

The only way you could get this heifer any darker color is if she was black. This has been a signature trait in this entire cow family. Interestingly enough we have 4 generations of cows still on the farm producing today. That isn’t something you see all that often. If they all stayed that long, its for a very good reason. Spring Lake Simmentals selected a maternal sister 2 years ago & we all know how dark red they have to be for Eric & Doug.

is anything like her mother, she

survive on willows all winter. An easy fleshing female with good hair & style. A sister was selected last year by Brad & Michelle Grudeski of McCreary, MB. Brad works here from spring to fall & is the best hoe operator you can find.

It’s amazing how much demand there is for these single cross reds, they bring the best of what the Red & Fullblood cattle have to offer. 199K is a stout, easy keeping heifer who should mature into the perfect size cow. The feet on these Legacy cattle have been excellent, a trait that is super hereditary.

This Legacy cross on a Charles female works wonders & is popular whether looking at bulls or females. A structurally correct female with a lot of middle, I can just picture her as a mature cow, she will be the front pasture kind.

Here’s an interesting heifer to sell, a Empire daughter out of a Fullblood Charles daughter who goes back to a cow we purchased from the Camrose Classic sale a few years back. The only offspring we’ve sold from the Elsa 744E cow was her first calf, Rendezvous Governor who brought $18,000 to Brooks Simmentals. Konrad tells us the impact Governor has had on his herd has been unreal. 626K could have that same potential.

An eye appealing heifer who catches your eye when she walks by. Easy keeping, good haired, quiet in nature. Her dam was one of our top Legacy

Here is a beauty of a Charles daughter right from the top of our heifer pen. It’s hard to part with females of this caliber however with the numbers we are running we feel it is only fair to sell a few of those elite females every year. Full brothers to 609K have brought top dollars every year, they’ve went to some outstanding cattle operations such as Belle Plaine Colony, SK, Beau & Kelly Richardson, MB, Moose Creek Cattle, SK & Riverdale Colony, MB.

younger heifer but perhaps the one with the most potential of them all. Her dam is a super productive cow with unbelievable depth of rib & length. She is a front pasture kind of cow. She’s also raised some high end bulls such as last year’s Fullblood high seller at $16,500 to Randy Geisler. A few years before she cranked out another son who brought $13,750 to Jeremy Andres & Jason Becker.

you like them big, deep & powerful, here’s a heifer that will crank up the power. We have a full sister to 595K who’s calving as I type this footnote ironically enough. Cameras are sure a wonderful thing. Full brothers to 595K have sold to Sun Country Ranch of Sundown, MB & long time repeat customers, Denis, Brendan & Ben Fouillard of St. Lazare, MB.

A solid Fullblood female, these Commanders make some wicked good mother cows. So much depth, thickness & good milk. A full sister was a feature heifer in last year’s sale, she rang the bell at $5750, selling to great cattlemen, Eric & Doug Zimmer of Spring Lake Simmentals, AB.

This is the 4th Commander X 126A calf in a row. When something works, you just keep rolling with it. A full sister last year was the high selling Fullblood at $7250 going to Sinister Simmentals, SK. Another Commander brother was a high seller for $12,000 to Vollman’s out in Preeceville, SK.

A heifer who is very hard to fault, she’s a real dandy. These are the type of Fullblood females we strive to produce. Easy keeping, feminine & will raise awesome calves, take note, she will raise those top end bull calves. A brother sold in last year’s sale to Three Creek Ranch, SK. Another brother sold to a great cattleman, Brian Johannesson of Gimli.

A dandy Starfire female mothered by a fantastic Charles female. The dam also happens to be a full sister to one of our feature Charles sons in the sale, lot 102. Her first calf, a heifer was purchased by Bill & Diane Morgan. Bill says whichever grand child who spends the most days helping during calving season gets to own that heifer.

A real fancy female with some lipstick & all the accessories needed in the Fullblood world. Attractive in nature, long bodied & beautiful hair. Seize the opportunity on quality Fullblood females such as 581K when you can, if she was a bred heifer next fall I can guarantee you she will bring double the price. A sister in last year’s sale was selected by a keen young Simmental breeder, Jared Nickel of Stuartburn, MB.

Transcon Livestock Corp and/or the Auctioneer shall have the right to refuse bids from anyone who has a previous record of default in payment or who has not made proper credit clearance prior to the sale with the owner or Sale Managers.

BID No private sales will be allowed except as otherwise provided for in the terms and conditions. No by-bidding will be permitted.

SALES TAXES Applicable sales taxes will be charged on semen, embryos, and trucking fees (if listed), respective to the home province of the buyer, not the seller.

DISPUTES In cases of disputes, bidding will be reopened between the parties involved. If no further bid is made the buyer will be the person from whom the auctioneer accepted the last bid. The auctioneer's decision in such matters will be final.

PURCHASER'S RISK Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as sold. Animals will be cared for at the purchaser's risk for a reasonable length of time.

INSURANCE Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser at the time of sale and should be insured. Animals returning to the seller’s farm must be insured.

US BUYERS There is an additional charge (approximately $300.00 US dollars) that will be applied to each animal purchased. This covers documentation, vet inspections/testing required to export. This cost does not include transportation or brokerage which is the responsibility of the buyer.

CATTLE PICTURES AND INFORMATION PROVIDED The images in this catalogue are believed to be accurate representations of the individual animals and the information contained in this catalogue is provided by the seller and believed to be true and accurate. Transcon Livestock Corp. and catalogue designers/producers assume no responsibility if the images and/or information as received have been altered or is inaccurate.

ANNOUNCEMENTS All announcements from the auction block will take precedence over the printed matter in the catalogue. Buyers are therefore cautioned to pay attention to any such announcements.

CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRY A registration/recordation certificate issued by the applicable breed association and duly transferred will be furnished to the buyer of each animal after settlement has been made. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine the acceptance of this certificate in any other association.

SHIPPING Assistance will be given in making shipment after the sale but no risk is assumed by the Sales Management or Seller. Expenses incurred are the responsibility of the purchaser. Purchasers are requested to furnish shipping instructions when making settlement.

BREEDERS GUARANTEE As per applicable Canadian Breed Association Breeding Guarantee guidelines. Copies are available at the sale settlement desk to be picked up by the buyer at any time. In no event shall the seller be responsible for reimbursing more than the purchase price. EXCEPTION TO GUARANTEE - In cases where the animal is subjected to any hormonal or surgical reproduction techniques after the sale, the guarantee shall be null and void.

HEALTH It is the buyer's responsibility to determine health requirements for importing any animal into his province or state. Transcon Livestock Corp. assumes no responsibility for the health status of any animal in the sale.

EMBRYO & SEMEN Full settlement must be made before release is done and shipping arrangements should be done within 30 days of the sale unless arrangements made between buyer and seller prior to the sale. Shipping arrangements and costs are the expense of the purchaser once release has been given.

ACCIDENTS Although every precaution will be taken to protect the safety and comfort of buyers, neither the Sales Management, auctioneer, consignors, or Association assumes any responsibility in this matter and disclaims any liability legal or otherwise in the event of accident or loss of property.

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS The above terms and conditions of the sale shall constitute a contract between the buyer and the seller and be equally binding to both. Resale of animals following purchase in this sale shall constitute a separate transaction and the rights and obligations of the two parties connected thereto are not covered by the terms and conditions of this sale.

IS AGENT ONLY It is to be clearly understood that Transcon Livestock Corp. is only acting 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. Neither does Transcon Livestock Corp. assume any financial obligations to collect or enforce collection of any monies between parties. Any legal action that may be taken, in exceptional cases, must be between buyer and seller.
