Flushmates
HC Cindy 206Z is arguably the start of the FVC herd. She was one of the first purchased, as a bred heifer out the the Sterling Collection sale in Saskatoon. That was the start of this dream we now call a reality. Fast forward ten years and the herd you see today is the result of careful selection or genetics and matings that work in our tough country. Cindy has proven herself time and time again. Our embryo transfer program has really snowballed and is enabling us to expand the herd while keeping undeniable consistency. When selecting matings, we strive for maternal aspects and longevity. The results of the flush to PCC Kentucky Rain 836F is just that. Females that are feminine and attractive, yet able to raise masculine breeding stock that are early maturing and packed with red meat. Being this is our only source of income, our herd needs to work for us, not us for them.

Kentucky Morning
Farmfair International Charolais Jr. Bull Calf Champion. Arguably the lead off bull in the Grand Champion Pen of Bulls in Medicine Hat Pen Show. This guy is a stud. He’s been one of the favourite flushmates right from the get go. Youngest of the flushmate bulls out of a moderate, Angus sired recipient. Great legs and feet, even better on the move. The type of bull that has just enough of everything, and not to much of anything.
Keith may be the most stylish of the flushmates. Early maturing and very fluid in his movements. One of the lightest born.
Member of the Grand Champion Pen of Bulls at the Medicine Hat Pen Show. Kanye is the biggest bull of the flushmates. A bit more bone and structure compared to the other four, but also maybe a bit longer. Easy doing disposition with phenomenal testicular development.
Also the lightest born. Same style, build, and make up as the rest of his brothers.
Quietest of the five brothers. Didn’t get the extra care and attention in the show pen as he lost half his ear due to a tag infection and Canadian winter.

This picture does not do this bull justice. He is the complete package. Born easy and small, weaned big and healthy, and pounded down the scale with style come yearling time. He is clean made with great spring of rib. Big quartered with a tail head that lays in nicely. All traveling on a big foot. Paired with a very decent EPD profile, Kraken will be sure to increase ROI in your herd.

If there is one word to describe this bull it would be “ranchy”. His Rome sired dam came out of the first Miss Prairie Cove Female Sale from our good friends the Bullicks. One of our tack box discussions with Tyler through our travels was “What does “ranchy” mean?” Well, around these parts it’s a good thing: good footed, free moving, easy doing, care free calving, packed full of red meat. The kind that makes you money.

Bit of a different pedigree here. Coming out of the infamous Hunter Charolais program, Kelvin is the result of the bred heifer purchased from the Sterling sale and we can’t say we are disappointed. His dam is a very moderate Winn Man Lanza daughter that did a superb job her first go. One of the lightest born calves in the operation that has a BW and Milk EPD that ranks in the 1st percentile for the whole herd. If you are looking for a bull to service your heifers and have a maternal result, look no further. Micheal kept telling me that the “Tanks” just keep getting better with time, and this fella is no exception.

Here is a bull with style! Everything about this bull catches your eye. Sleek made starting with a nice smooth polled skull, great neck extension, clean made shoulders, strong loin, tons of capacity, deep flanked, all carried by a free moving structure. Unbelievable testicular development at a young age out of a 13-year old dam. We really do have to thank the great folks of the Future Farm operation. Years ago we bought a package of bred cows and this will be one of the last from that package (guess we didn’t pay too much after all). The proof is in the pudding, help yourself out and get into these genetics that have proven themselves time and time again.
Probably the thickest bull in our offering. This bull has a lot of power. He is big topped with excellent spring of rib. A bull with plenty of capacity. His shape and conformation is very similar to his sire. PCC Brewitt 929G was the ACA’s Player’s Club Champion as a bull calf at Farmfair International, is now leaving a lasting impact on the world by siring progeny shown very successfully down at Denver, and having genetics moving internationally to Australia and around the world. Indexing above average in both WW and YW, and has an EPD profile that suggests his calves are what your feedlots and packers are looking for.
A long made bull sired again by the $50,000 dollar Player’s Club Champion, PCC Brewitt 929G. His Bar Diamond Hank daughter dam lasted in the operation until the ripe age of 13 without skipping a beat. He has a nice big stride while being soft on his pasterns. Smooth polled, clean fronted with EPDs for great carcass traits. His calves will be a “Knockout”.

CEDARLEA HENDRICKS 40H FVC MS PERFECT 14H

The first of the LEO Hendricks 40H (aka Jimmy) calves to be offered. To say that we are excited for what Jimmy will do in our program is an understatement. His calvability traits are that of the sleep easy sire; go to bed and count the calves in the morning. The lightest born bull with a 277 day gestation with plenty of vigour and indexed above average both in weaning and yearling weights. He is a frame size taller and long as a train. Smooth fronted and finer boned makes Koleston a great candidate to add pounds to your small framed cross cattle or first calf heifer crop.
Good all around. This bull packs a lot of punch with his length of body, and spring of rib. He is clean sheathed and hairy. You have to appreciate his skull structure and the way it ties in smooth all the way to his tail. His dam was the result of a cow purchased from Jordan Rivers dispersal and went on to live here until she was 14. Longevity is packed in this pedigree.

A ‘Jimmy’ bull that does not disappoint. This bull’s pedigree on the bottom side goes back to the ROSSO 111B cow family, and she sure is making a name for herself. She keeps on cranking out the good ones and creeping into a spot in our flush program. His dam is a Kentucky Rain daughter with plenty of capacity in a moderate frame. Kick It Up is following in her footprints. Very moderate, yet balanced. Smooth through his lines and profiles like none other. Angular in his makeup yet still masculine to make big soggy calves packed with red meat. Beautiful little head and everything behind the ears is no different. This bull has style and would make a great candidate in a heifer pen or if you are looking to keep some more moderate made females.

Another Kentucky Rain son that does not disappoint. He is big topped, smooth fronted, with great neck extension. A moderate made bull built to calve easy and grow fast. Going back to the Evetta cow family of Gerrards, his dam is a moderate, heavy milking, honest cow that keeps on bringing in the good ones.

Knack Knack, patty whack, give a dog a bone, give this great bull a good new home! Very stout bull sired by our senior herdsire, Rage. Again, showing great rib shape and capacity. Some older type genetics on the bottom side that have been proven over and over. We feel this bull will have a knack for siring calves that will be sought after by fellow producers and consumers.

There is a presence about this particular bull. He has that “look at me” about him. His pedigree is a showcase of what our program has become. Backed by the Cindy cow family, with Rage being his grandsire and Kentucky Rain sired, he is the best of the best. Always a pen favourite and not a surprise, as Kenny is the best performing bull in the pen, ranking 2nd at weaning and 1st at yearling weighing sessions.

Kirby is the kind of bull that is built for calving without sacrificing performance. He is long made and very correct in his movements. Beautifully fronted, the way his neck lays into his shoulders and carries down with smooth lines into his finer made structure below. Strong loin and good quarter. I’ve always used the analogue that it is much easier calving a hundred plus pound noodle than it is an eighty pound brick. Case and point.

Don’t overlook the youngest bull in the FVC offering. We think very highly of this individual. He is the right kind. Out of a very attractive Rage daughter that indexed above average in the herd and out of Lot 43’s dam, you can be sure he’s going to grow up to be a red meat making machine. He is clean fronted, good footed, smooth traveling, deep flanked… We could go on and on. Be sure to come sale day to see for yourself and this bull will captivate you.
I would also like to take this time to thank our hard working friends at K Lazy T Cattle, Flat Valley Cattle & Cash Cattle for the opportunity to once again share our genetics in this sale. I believe that the Simple as Black and White Bull Sale has been and will continue to be a great asset to the area and the cattle industry as a whole.
On that note, I would also like to thank all the previous buyers and bidders for your confidence and support in our SVC program. The Charolais bull has played an integral role in the commercial cow herd for us here at the farm and our goal is to be able to share genetics that will be dependable, profitable and an asset to any breed, or type of cows.
Bulls are weaned off their mothers at 6-7 months and are then fed a balanced, high roughage ration for optimal growth and longevity at the forefront. At 12-13 months the bulls are scanned to retrieve ultrasound data and will then summer on grass and get plenty of exercise from early June until October. They will return home to the yard where they are assessed and will be wintered and fed at a pace we feel will provide customers with a bull that is in sound breeding condition and also achieving their true genetic potential. Bulls will come with up to date vaccinations, including Fusogard for footrot prevention.
As always, I encourage and invite you to stop by to view the bulls at the farm anytime prior to the sale . We would love to answer any questions you may have about the bulls as individuals and what bull might fit your breeding needs. if you are unable to attend on March 20th, the knowledgeable sales team and staff at By Livestock can be of assistance and the fine folks from DLMS will have online bidding available with a live broadcast.
Thank you for taking the time to view our offering and we look forward to seeing you on March 20!
