JOHNSTON CHAROLAIS • LOTS

1-15

We have selected herdbulls that offer a balance of calving ease, growth, the right type and maternal traits. We calve on grass later in spring so these guys are developed gently over the 20 months. We have fed these bulls so that in June when they went to native grass pasture at 11 to 14 months of age, they weighed on average 1200 lb. They stayed on that native grass pasture til mid October and started to be stepped on to their TMR final ration mid November. Our sale bulls are developed as breeding stock and not a feedlot animal. Doing so, they will stand up as well as any bull could expect to in a large type pasture scenario, where a large percentage of ours end up. We encourage you to call ahead, come inspect the bulls prior, as we will assist you in selecting the right bull for your operation. Johnston Charolais reserves the right to draw semen on these bulls for in-herd use at our expense and your convenience. Johnston Charolais credits purchasers $150 per bull to customers taking their bull home from the sale barn. If you choose to pick up your own bull from the farm within 7 days of sale, we will write you a $100 cheque.

These 2-yr old bulls are more playful and higher prone to injury being housed in a large group. It is in your bull’s best interest to be delivered and adjusted to his new environment soon after the sale date. We do not assume risk or liability for physical injury or death to bulls following the auctioneer announcing sold. What we are willing to do for you is cover 20% of the premium if insured sale day only through Keystone Livestock Services, agent Lois McRae cell 204-573-5192, who will be on site sale day. We are willing to take sales bulls home to feed,care for and deliver them up to 500km for a surcharge of up to $100 at a time that is convenient to us, no later then May 10 as spring seeding can be a conflict. Farther points of delivery may have to be made to a central delivery point through H.S. Knills Trucking.

Jfc Jock Ewing 102j

Jock is a standout in the pen, an early maturing naturally muscled herdsire prospect following in the footsteps of his father. A true purebred herdbull should leave a few sons that are arguably an improvement upon themselves and we feel Jock is a candidate for that.

Jfc Jeremiah Johnson 105j

Jeremiah Johnson is a natural calf from our DSY 179E. A lead off Braxton female from the Steppler’s female sale a few years back. This summer we twice flushed 179E and have intentions of sending her to Bow Valley next summer for IVF. We value this guy from ground up and from head to tail. He has what we consider to be a perfect hoof and walks and places those big pads perfectly. A picture does not do this guy justice. We envision Jeremiah to leave amazing high capacity females and for that reason intend to have semen drawn prior to sale for in-herd use. Parentage verification in progress. For ourselves to register progeny our name will stay on with new owner receiving 100% salvage value on the bull.

Jfc Cactus Jack 104j

This is the last Intuition son to sell! We used Intuition for 6 breeding seasons, a performance bloodline, fertility, and one of the absolute best set of feet and legs you would find. The 520C Belize cow family consistently calves at 275 to 280 gestation.

Jfc Jack Swagger 108j

SPARROWS AQUARIUS 493B SPARROWS PARKER 806F

LA QUINTA 10D

Balanced trait selection. Jack Swagger exemplifies this finest aspect of Sparrows Parker. Stems from a 1450 lb, 9 year old No Doubt female. No Doubt was an A.I. sire whose progeny will always be right for the times. Middle of the road cattle that do everything right. As No Doubt and Parker were both used on heifers, we would assume Jack Swagger to be a problem free calving bull.

MISS CHAVEZ 87C

Our Sparrows Robert sons were very well accepted last year for many of the traits Josh displays. That furry haircoat, excellent disposition and soundness of structure. SOS 87C has generations of calving ease bred into her. Her Ledger daughter 12H gave birth to a 65 lb Monsoon son this spring and we have full intentions of retaining him as our heifer bull.

Java was one of three bulls to take a walkabout late fall when a speedrite fencer went bad. Wasn’t able to pull these 3 bulls from the neighbour’s pasture for 6 weeks due to harvest schedule. A cream coloured bull from the 146D female who has left two top females in our herd.

Jfc Jack Dowd 122j

Another herdsire prospect! A top pick of Madison’s in the pen. We fought hard with Lorne Lakusta the day of the auction on BOB 10F and fortunately we didn’t give in. A young female Madison considers future donor quality.

Jfc Jimmy Juice 125j

Sorry footnotes are quite often repetetive but once again Jimmy Juice is a fine example of balanced trait breeding, middle of the road cattle sort of speak. An excellent cow family that originated from Gordie Nykoliation’s dispersal. 521C is never miss raising high sellers for us in the past.

Jfc Jerry 131j

WINN MANS SKAGGS 663X

SPARROWS ROBERT 842F

SPARROWS PUFF BALL 243Y

Gavin’s sale bull is named after his U15 AA hockey teammate Jerry. Both kids started their herd with what we felt was the top heifer calf from our herd when they were aged 10. Consistency in type to our other sale bulls.

Jfc Jake 134j

SPARROWS AQUARIUS 493B SPARROWS PARKER 806F SPARROWS LA QUINTA 10D

Another one of the 3 that took a walkabout. Exceptionally smooth with abundant length of spine. Double bred to Cam Sparrow’s LaQuinta cow family, Jake’s full sister 42H is what we are calling our top Parker female.

Jfc Dr Johnny Fever 144j

Dr. Johnny Fever, with a catchy name, is another bull we are darn proud to have raised. Breeder quality anchored by another Gordie Nykoliation female 244J. She is a top tan female passing on low BW and breeder phenotype year in and out.

Jfc Jacey 146j

The best package of 25 females I ever purchased came from a gentleman by the name of Ian Milliken, Meadows Charolais, Reston, Manitoba. Ian brought fame and notoriety to HTA FROSTY 328C and MOORE’S KOKANEE 36K. JACEY’S dam 1Y is a descendant of Moore’s Kokanee and Ian’s herd. A 12-yr old female that has raised previous high sellers and a calf every year. I view Jacey as Ian’s type and am grateful to Ian and those 25 females for elevating our herd .

Jfc Big John 152j

No footnotes required. Consider this your invitation to come prior to the sale and see for yourself.

Jfc Jericho 169j

A tan coloured, June born son of our home raised ET red factor herdsire Red Green. The final of 3 bulls on our walkabout. Admired for his soundness and smoothness.
