Something to Think About:

Some of the bulls have a higher birthweight but they also come from our larger cows and they have no problem calving them. Remember that a cow should be able to calve 7% of her body weight so for a 1500 lb cow that is 105lbs. The majority of our cows would be 1500-1700lbs. Also for every 5lbs of birth weight that you give up you are potentially giving up 30-50lbs of weaning weight!!

Welcome Friends
Welcome to the 7th Annual Benchmark Bull Sale! Once again we want to thank all of our customers for their support over the last 6 sales and for the many years before while selling bulls privately.
The past year has certainly been one for the books. With an incredibly wet spring and summer it made for a challenging hay season but provided lots of grass through summer and fall, which helped us bring in another great set of calves. The cattle market has once again seen some huge price swings over the last year, but the one thing that seems to stay constant is that the heavier Charolais sired calves are still bringing a premium all across the country. No matter the cow color every buyer will know if it’s a Charolais sired calf! This year’s group of bulls once again has a lot to offer. There are a few bulls with extra age to cover more cows and a great set of yearlings that offer calving ease, big time performance and maternal power. These bulls are structurally sound with longevity bred into them, so they will last for many years. Whatever your breeding needs are we will have a bull to fit them. The bulls have been developed on a limit fed pelleted bull ration with free choice baleage and most importantly they have LOTS of room to exercise ensuring that they are not over conditioned and will be ready to breed when you need them. The bulls are vaccinated and boostered with Bovi-shield Gold One-shot along with Ultrabac/Somnubac and have been treated with Safeguard and Ivomec. They will be semen tested before the sale and guaranteed to breed! We invite everyone to come see the bulls at the farm before the sale as they will change a lot since picture day in mid-January. You will also be able to see some of their mothers and sisters with their new calves at side. The sale will once again be broadcast on Liveauctions.tv allowing you to bid right from the comfort of home. Please give us a call if you have any questions about the bulls or the sale. Nobody knows them like we do, we love to talk cattle and would be happy to help you choose a bull for your operation. We look forward to seeing everyone on March 10th in Cobden. Come early and enjoy beef on a bun and some great hospitality. The Blacks
We at Kirlene Cattle would like to welcome you, our guests, clients and friends to the 7th annual Benchmark Bull Sale in Cobden. We are very excited about this year’s sale offerings as this is our first year with a two year old along with our developed bulls from our new herd sire LAE Avalanche 327A. It has been fun calving out his offspring and watching them grow. I am sure that when you get to see these bulls, you will be able to appreciate the width, depth, spring of barrel and overall appearance of these bulls standing on a strong set of feet and legs. Having the opportunity to grow and use the genetics of Avalanche’s performance will bring pounds of gain to your calves. Extra pounds, equals extra dollars. Our bulls have been developed on free choice 2nd and 3rd cut baleage along with Masterfeed’s Bull-Plex pellets. Feed, coupled with the room to exercise means they will be ready to go when you need them to work for you. To recognize the 150th celebration of Canada last year, we decided to name our bull calves after some of our Prime Ministers throughout the years. Don’t miss out on March 10th to pick your Prime Minister at the Renfrew Pontiac Livestock Sales Barn in Cobden. We would like to welcome you to visit our farm and view the lots prior to the sale. If you cannot make it out prior, we are always up for a phone call or text message if you have any inquiries. We look forward to speaking with you all on the sale day! Remember, at Kirlene, there are always endless options and endless possibilities. Kirby & Arlene Hakkesteegt Bryce & Dana Hakkesteegt and Family Ryan & Angela Mcleod The Kirlene Cattle Family
