BIRTH WEIGHT & CALVING EASE University studies in Wyoming and data from Montana and Colorado lend credence to the following conclusions: 1. 2. 3. 4.
The birth weight itself influences calving ease by 65%. The female has 60-70% influence on birth weight of her calf. The bull has 30-40% influence on birth weight of his progreny. Pelvic measurement and angle as well as the shape of the calf have 35-40% influence on calving ease. 5. Length of gestation greatly affects birth weight. A fetus can gain over one pound per day in the last days of gestation. 6. Weather and temperature the last 30 days affect the length of gestation. 7. Size and maturity of the cow influence calving ease. Most commercial producers do not take birth weights. Guessing is as inaccurate as driving with a broken speedometer – what’s thought to be 55 mph may in fact be 65 or 70 mph, and what’s thought to be 70-80 lb may actually be 80-90 lb. Remember, everything is relevant. Increased growth, frame and performance will increase BW. A longer bodied calf with weigh more. If a calf is expected to have genetics for growth, it will display this prior to birth as well as after. As a rule of thumb, it takes a calf weighing 85 lb at birth to finish at 12001250 lb. A cow should easily give birth to a calf weight 8% of her own body weight. Thus a 1200 lb cow should give birth to a 96 lb calf with ease.
Continued selection for light birth weights will ultimately reduce the mature sizes and performance of your cattle. 2

Welcome Friends
WELCOME everyone to our 8 th annual bull sale. You will notice that there has been a change in the name of our sale, but what has not changed is the great quality bulls you have come to expect that are backed by the same great people.
A big thank you to all those that bid and bought last year whether as a new or repeat customer. Your confidence in our programs is what drives us to improve our herds every year. This year’s line-up truly has a bull for everyone’s needs. There are six long yearlings that have extra age to cover more cows, along with a great set of yearlings that feature some big time performance bulls as well as some low birth weight bulls that you can confidently breed to first calf heifers. There are also a few red and tan bulls that will keep some colour in your calves and a standout red Simmental bull that covers all the bases. A number of the bulls have also been DNA tested for the Homozygous polled gene which guarantees a polled calf no matter if the cow is polled or horned. The bulls were once again developed on free choice 1 st cut baleage and limit fed a custom bull ration to ensure they grow and develop properly without being over conditioned. They are also allowed plenty of room to run and exercise which keeps them very athletic and ready to work when the time comes. All bulls have been vaccinated and boostered with Bovi-shield Gold One-Shot as well as Ultrabac/Somnubac and have received Safeguard and Ivomec treatments. The cow herds are on a full live vaccine program. And as always the bulls will be semen tested prior to the sale and guaranteed to breed! We invite everyone to come and view the bulls prior to sale day to give you a great opportunity to see them in a relaxed and open space, so you can truly get a good look at each and every one of them. The bulls were pictured in mid-January and they will change a lot in the next 8 weeks. The sale will again be broadcast on Liveauctions.TV. This gives you the opportunity to watch and bid from the comfort of home. Please give us a call prior to the sale if you have any questions about the bulls. Nobody knows them like we do and we would be more than happy to help you find your next herd sire! We hope to see everyone on March 9 th in Cobden. Even if you don’t need a bull this year please come enjoy lunch and some great Ottawa Valley hospitality! The Blacks To our guests, clients and friends: Welcome to the 8 th annual Blackbern, Whitewater, Kirlene Bull Sale to be held March 9th at the Renfrew, Pontiac Livestock sales barn in Cobden. All our bulls have been developed using sound genetics, pellet feed and free choice balage, with lots of room to exercise for muscle development. From the conception of the cows to the sale of these bulls, our herd is on a complete vaccination program. This year we sent hair samples of all our bulls to Quantum Genetics for Homozygous verification. Where listed, the bulls will be Homozygous Polled and all others will be Heterozygous Polled. We have on offer bulls recommended for heifers and some for extra performance for those more mature cows. Come to the farm for an early look and visit the cow families where these bulls originated from. We would be happy to assist you at any point during your visit. Love to visit, love to chat cattle and love to learn what your bull needs are. Stay tuned to Facebook, Twitter and the Charolais Banner for information leading up to the sale. Videos will be online in late February. We always prefer to see you in person on sale day but if that does not work for you this year please join us online for the sale with live bidding thru Live Auctions. If you wish to take your purchase home the day of the sale that would be great but if you find you are unable to house your purchase we will be glad to house your purchase for you till May 1st.
