WelCoMe To oUR RAnCH...

On behalf of the whole family; a huge welcome to all the buyers, bidders and friends to our 31st annual bull sale. Selling bulls is about building relationships with people. A HUGE THANK-YOU TO ALL THE FRIENDS WE HAVE MADE AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THIS EVENT: BUYERS, BIDDERS, AND FRIENDS. BULLS COME AND GO BUT FRIENDS ARE THE ICING ON THE CAKE!

What a journey this has been. I feel we have made progress, sometimes two steps forward and one step back but still in a positive direction. We sort the bulls as if we were using them ourselves. If they aren’t good enough to use then they aren’t good enough to sell. There are outstanding bulls in every category right to the end of the book. In our commitment to offer all the raised bulls for sale we are offering a few paired groups in each category where high bidder gets pick and we keep the other one. There is nothing held back. Our goal at Bone Creek will never change, the continued effort to improve our cow herd. Our focus is on moderate framed cattle which are structurally sound. So many people want bigger bulls and my answer is always I want heavier cattle with more body mass in a moderate frame. When you weigh cattle individually you quickly realize total volume of body out weights frame every time. Moderate cattle finish easier, grade better and produce cows that are more functional. We constantly cull for structural correctness (feet and udders) to improve the cow herd to make it more user friendly. Our focus is on cows that do their own thing.

Joni range calves our hfrs on grass. We started this 4 yrs ago to try and improve our sanity and make work easier. You will quickly start paying more attention to bulls and females that do their own thing. Are there wrecks, you bet, but we end up with more live, healthy calves and hfrs that love their babies. There is nothing more natural than a cow calving on a nice warm hillside all by herself. We will not go back to corral calving cows again unless weather is such there are no other options! All calves born with problems calving, calves over 100 lbs are ringed at birth. That way when they look good at branding or weaning the decision was already made. We all love our cows (most days) but will not tolerate problems. Culling cows and bulls is an on-going process to constantly improve the herd.

Multiple sire fields are the norm here so all the bulls will have been DNA ‘d. Only after undergoing 4 selection sorts, do we then send hair for parentage verification. Therefore, no one gets a free ride because of his sire. They prove their right to stay first.

A NEW CONCEPT – PRIVATE TREATY AUCTION SALE – BULL ROLL

All the bulls will have a base price posted before sale day on DLMS about 7days in advance. The offering will be sold in groups where the bidder gets to select as many individuals in the group as he or she wants. Then the sale starts again on that group. If no one bids, the remainder of the bulls are offered privately at that price. The base price will reflect fair private treaty value. There are certain outstanding HERD BULL individuals that will sell separately. This will be announced sale day.

We are again honoured to have our good friend Donnie Peacock do the auctioneering as well as sale consulting. Donnie will give you a no B.S. honest opinion. Brett Jensen will again be doing ring side as well as sale consulting. He is more than capable in both scenarios.

THE CREW:

Joni, our middle daughter, has her own cow herd & ranch, and is the key spoke in the wheel around here. She knows the cows like the back of your hand. Cally, Jason, Aiden and Mason are always willing helpers. Cally is our parts lady and errand runner. They are always willing to come and help do everything that needs to be done. They have bought their first piece of land; so goes the cycle. Russel Kast operates the Maple Creek Ranch as well as helps at the home place throughout the year. We appreciate his steadiness and qualifications very much. New this year is Garret Harrigan from Maple Creek. He ranches on his own and helps to accomplish the day to day operations. Garret is more than qualified. Jax Martin joined our operation last fall and is a very willing helper with the cattle. Cornelio Peters custom fenced for years and now helps out with absolutely everything. He is fun to be around and can turn his hand to anything. WE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT OPERATE WITHOUT YOU GUYS. THANK YOU.

SIGHT UNSEEN PROGRAM

I will handle this personally or will appoint someone to handle this for you. How it works: you and I will discuss your needs and goals and jointly select individuals that will meet your expectations. We discuss price levels and parameters in which you want to participate and try to fill the order. You don’t pay until delivered and 100% satisfied. If you are not happy, the bulls will come home and we will use them ourselves. There are no bulls in the sale that I personally would not use in our herd. Our moto is, if they can’t make a positive contribution on our own cows then they are not good enough to sell. Think about it. We don’t know anymore about the cattle business then you do, but we know these bulls. I purchased seedstock as well as raise them. When I entertain buying bulls, I ALWAYS ASK FOR INPUT. I tell them what I want, won’t accept, and get them to make a short list. It works. The purchases I make with input generally turn out better. FOOD FOR THOUGHT, TRY IT- YOU MIGHT BE SURPRIZED.

Sincerely,

Graham

Herd Health

Bone Creek Angus has a long history of well-established herd health protocols to ensure their animals have a healthy a start. We are proud to assist such progressive members of the cattle industry with their preventive medical and animal care protocols.

These bulls come from a cow herd with a strong focus on prevention vaccination strategies against the common pathogens we see in Canadian cattle. This herd has a solid program in place for prevention of diseases such as IBR and BVD. As both a veterinarian and producer, I consider this the cornerstone of any herd health program.

The bulls themselves have been vaccinated with combination viral and bacterial vaccines (Bovishield Gold One shot/Ultrabac 7 somnugen) at branding and weaning as calves. As yearlings they are given Bovishield 5 and Tasvax. Then as long yearlings prior to sale, they are boosted with Bovishield FP5 for added insurance against IBR, BVD, PI3 and BRSV.

Please refer to the vaccine protocols provided by the ranch for more details on product use and timing.

It is our opinion that Bone Creek Ranch Angus is a progressive representative of the cattle industry. They continually produce top quality seed stock through advanced genetic selection along with good management and preventive practices.

We encourage all producers to follow suit and adopt solid herd health and management programs in their own operations to put forth the best cattle possible for our consumers.

Fancy, easy moving, powerful red angus bull here. His dam and him got lost in the bush for the first 6 months of his life so since then he has been getting quieter and quieter since his initial interaction with humans but I would still handle this bull with other animals for support.

His calves are really strong and we have 9 sons on offer this year. Typically, dark red with the herd bull look. 5292 will breed cows this year at 8 years old. The daughters are nice.
