2022 Highlights

THIS IS THE 13TH ANNUAL BULL SALE FOR THE ELDERS AND WHAT A GREAT SET OF BULLS THEY ARE PRESENTING TO YOU AGAIN.

Two years ago, they sold Houlio for $110,000 for half interest. Well, he hasn’t disappointed in his breeding prepotency and what a set of sons they have here for your appraisal. The first crop of Honky Tonk calves were admired on the show road last fall with the Agribition Junior and Intermediate Bull Calf Champions both sired by him. They aren’t just show bulls, but sound performance bulls with meat. There are also sons out of their proven bloodlines that have been doing a great job in the industry.

The quality of bulls in their pen will impress the most discriminating cattlemen with lots of hair, shape, performance and structural soundness that will still be good calving. They also run a commercial herd so know what it takes to be profitable and top the market with your calves in the fall. You are dealing with a great family that will stand behind their product as witnessed by the number of repeat customers that come back year after year. Whether you are a seedstock producer or a commercial producer you will find bulls that fit your needs and budget.

This is a video sale at the Elder Charolais Farm with the atmosphere calm and hassle free in their heated facility. You can also view the sale and bid on DLMS.ca but, if possible, try to come and see the operation and the bulls, either before the sale, or on sale day, and enjoy some downhome hospitality. We look forward to seeing you in Coronach on March 23rd.

If Candace or I can be of any assistance before the sale or on sale day, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We would be happy to help you find a bull that is right for your program.

Sincerely,

Helge & Candace By

ELDER’S Houlio 4H

3.11.4451022649

Houlio was the lead off bull in our 2021 Bull Sale where he commanded $110,000 for ½ interest and full possession. He was purchased by our good friends down at Lindskov Ranches in South Dakota. Houlio has been used in herds around the globe and will be a huge part of our program moving forward with 14 sons in this year’s sale, as well as 21 heifers in the replacement pen. Houlio consistently stamps every calf with length, hair and a broad top. The 2 things people comment on when they first see these Houlio calves are hair and length of body. Houlio will put performance in your calf crop. We are so impressed with his first set of calves. Houlio was our main AI bull last spring.

ELDER’S Commodore 281K

Commodore is as complete and sound as you can make them. He is an absolute powerhouse individual with a very strong featured, dominant head that has herd bull written all over it. Commodore represents the Houlio features extremely well with the great hair coat, length of spine, a deep body and chest and a bold rib. Commodore moves out smooth and freely with a big time presence in the pen. He has an excellent disposition and can be easily worked with. We are very high on Commodore and he will be a big part of the program moving forward. His dam is a big bodied Pastor daughter we purchased from McLeod Livestock. She has a great udder and is flat out good. Her bull calf last year, Mr. Bo Jangles, sold to Lavern Goodsman in the sale. Selling ½ interest and full possession

Navigator has a very solid quarter in him with great muscle expression, a very clean sheath and solid testicles. If you are looking to add some length and thickness to your calf crop, Navigator will get it done for you. His dam is a Baron daughter with an exceptional udder.

He has a nice tight sheath and good testicle development. Kalypso is squared hipped, heavy muscled and moves out on a very sound set of feet and legs. He will make an excellent addition to any bull pen. He could also go out and be shown with huge success. Kalypso’s dam is a 10-year old Wahkamo daughter that goes back to Silverado. She has a solid foot and nice udder. In her ten years of producing here, every bull calf went through the sale and we have still retained some daughters in our herd. She is a gem.
