W elcome to F lying K
Welcome to our 30th annual sale. It seems like yesterday when I was writing the welcome for last year's sale. Thank you to everyone who enable us to continue this addiction of raising cattle.
We run our cattle similar to most commercial operations. Feed and pasture have been harsh for many years and one tries to "stretch" things as far as possible.
We strive to produce functional cattle that work in the real world. There is NO CREEP feeding as calves or before weaning. With any added management (like creep feeding) data can be drastically enhanced. The buls are fed a growing TMR ration to develop them properly and have them ready to breed. They are fed in large pens, and have to walk every day to water. Weather permitting, we will pen them sale day on bare dirt to make it easier for you to appraise feet and legs. No feet have been trimmed on any of the bulls.
Customer Service is a top priority. Mishaps or wrecks can happen and we have always been able to provide our customers with a spare bull to get to get those cows bred.
We will have updated weights, scrotal measurements, carcass data, and bull videos posted to our website as it becomes available. If you follow us on Facebook we usually notify you when something new has been added to the website (www.flyingkranch.ca). The Canadian Angus Association website (www.cdnangus.ca) can be accessed for more additional information on past production of Dam’s, etc.
Feel free to stop out and view the bulls or their dams anytime prior to the sale. We are always here, and are happy to tour you at your convenience. If there is any other information or questions you have, please don’t hesitate to ask, this is our business! Please joins us for lunch & steaks after the sale. We appreciate those of you who come for some hospitality whether you need a bull or not. Always great to be able to swap cowboy stories!

King of calving ease. He is still at the ranch and will get turned out again this year. His sons have been very well received and he has many daughters working in our herd. He really complements our Escalade line.
Purchased by RSL Red Angus in our 2021 Sale as our 2nd high selling bull that year. Great feet on this bull and hard not to put more of the 41Z cow back in the herd. Check out her picture on his maternal brother in this year's sale FKR 199K.

Purchased by Rodgers Red Angus in our 2011 Sale. Great success with him at their place and ours. We will continue to use him as he flat works, producing great females and bulls. Long-lasting, low-maintenance type cattle. Over 255 progeny and counting.
We purchased this bull with Badlands Angus from the Janzen Ranch in 2014 as their High Seller. Maternal extraordinaire! Probably the most consistant udder improver we have EVER used.

Our clean-up bull on heifers. He has out-performed our expectations. He sired the 2022 High Selling Bull which sold to Allison Farms. For a bull that can calve heifers, he has the ability to throw in some shape and dimension as well.
Choice lot in our 2019 sale that sold to Running JR Ranch. Heifer bull with outstanding feet. His daughters udders are nice and have done a great job. Over 100 progeny registered already between our two places.

✶ Bull is recommended to be used on cows
✶ ✶ Bull should be used on cows or larger type heifers
✶ ✶ ✶ There should be few problems when using these bulls on first calf heifers.
Elite Calving Ease Bulls in the comments, these are bulls that are in the top 1-2% of the Breed, not only are they low birthweight, but they have finer bones, small heads, & generations of calving ease throughout their pedigree
Remember to take into account your own cow herd genetics, enviornment, feeding conditions, etc. They will have a BIG influence on your birth weights. We hope this helps you out!
Elite Calving Ease Bulls
Bulls
(on Reference
Epds are a measure of the expected progeny difference between a sire`s progeny compared to average performance of all the sires evaluated. It is expressed in pounds and is based on the progeny`s performance, performance of the bull & his relatives. At a yearling age these bulls have no progeny, therefore their epd accuracy is very limited and we don’t use them for our own herd bull selection. We include epds to help as a selection tool, but each producer should use their own selection criteria based on what is the best for their own herd and the direction they wish to go.
A note from Canadian Angus Association about the new Red Angus EPDs: “Canadian Red Angus members will notice this change to their cattle EPDS. These new EPDs are not comparable to your previous EPDs. So please don’t think of it as your EPDs changing. This is a completely new set of numbers, now directly comparable and on the same base as EPDs for Black Angus animals (both in Canada and the U.S.). This change will take time to adjust toi n that your acceptable ranges for EPDs for your program and your environment will need to be reassessed.”
BW: Birth Weight EPD - is expressed in pounds and is the best overall prediction of a bull’s contribution to the birth weight of his calves. It is the most useful tool available in determining the calving ease status of a particular bull. Negative values = lighter birth weights, positive values = heavier than average birth weights.
WW: Weaning Weight EPD - Predicts the ability of a sire`s calves to grow from birth to weaning, expressed in pounds.
YW: Yearling Weight EPD - Predicts the ability of a sire`s calves to grow from birth to yearling, expressed in pounds.
MILK: Milk EPD- is an indicator of milking ability in daughters. If represents the differences in weaning weights of calves due to the amount of milk produced by their mothers.
TM: Total Maternal EPD - It is calculated by adding 1/2 of WW EPD and the Milk EPD. It measures the difference in weaning weight of the bull`s daughters’ calves.
CE: Calving Ease EPD - refers to the calf’s ability to grow in utero and be born unassisted. A higher score = greater “calving ease”
BREED AVG FOR RED ANGUS CALVES BORN IN 2022: BW: +1.1, WW: +40, YW: +68, MILK: +24, CE: +2.7

Care & Management of Yearling Bulls
1. FEEDING: Your yearling bull still has a lot of growing to do. Feed the young bull well. You should feed 5-10 lbs of grain in addition to a full feed of good quality hay or silage from now until the start of breeding season. Recondition your bull after the breeding season to allow them to mature to their genetic capabilities. This is a very critical age as they start losing their teeth at 18-24 months. A young bull consequently eats slower and cannot utilize as rough a feed, or compete for feed, as one with permanent teeth. Research indicates that a bull’s usefulness as a 2 yr old can be retarded if not properly reconditioned after use as a yearling.
2. BREEDING SEASON: Don’t expect a young bull to compete with older bulls, or horned bulls. If intimidated by an older bull, he won’t breed effectively. A young bull, if handled properly and not dominated by other bulls, should service 20-25 females his first season. Size of the pasture and terrain also influence this. Limit the breeding season to no more than 60 days on a yearling bull. If you can’t limit the season, consider rotation to give him a rest. Watch a young bull early in the season to detect any physical problems. A virgin bull can have inadequacies undetectable except through observation.
3. HEALTH: Maintain a good general health program, salt, mineral, and fly control. Worming can make a significant difference as well as grub & louse control program.
