Double F 1B R805 EPD’S: (WB) CE 78% BW 70% WG 72% Milk 82% Aladdin is a smooth polled fullblood Crystal Youngblood son. He had a birth weight of 95 lbs and is a combination of the best genetics we could possibly offer coming from both sides of his pedigree. His sire is the reigning National Champion Bull and has produced calves that are heads and tails better than any other bull we have used to date for performance, thickness and temperament. His dam, Ultra, also came to us from Crystal Farms and she has been one of our top performing cows. Ultra was included in our flush program this past June and produced 18 Grade 1 embryos in one flush which shows her excellent fertility, and she has already bred back to Youngblood for her 2015 calf.

Aladdin was shown as a bull calf at the National in 2013 and claimed Reserve Bull Calf Champion at only 6 months of age. We used him on a small group of heifers and cows this summer and he has proven to be a keen breeder. Don’t miss this chance if you are looking for a new polled fullblood herd sire.

EPD’S: We all like a little more rump! This well muscled bull will add just that to your calf crop. His full brother was shown in 2013 taking Grand Champion Bull at both Orno and Warkworth Fair, and Bruno hopes to do this same in 2014. He will be a part of our show string and participate in this year national show. He will be 129 tested prior to sale.

Bamberg Luv 3D R10556 EPD’S: We purchased Knox Nancy 12N at Sheldon Asseltine’s Production Sale a few years ago; what a steal we got! She has produced the top gaining bull on test for the last three years from a different sire. This year she has another different sire offspring (Arsha’s Polled Trooper 67T). I put my money on Nancy that she once again has produced the top gaining bull. Crystal Blade has the muscling pattern that definitely the blonde breeders are looking for as well as the feedlots.

With the premiums you will get from this guy’s offspring. Blade’s nickname could become “mortgage lifter”. Blade is a very docile bull which as we know is passed on down the line. Epd’s will be available by sale time.

Now we are offering a daughter from her; off one of the top polled bulls in the breed today. The numbers tells us she is very docile lady and has lots of milk behind her. Bred on April 10, 2014 to the top gaining bull on test Crystal Alden 25A. Alden has performance, milk and calving ease.

January will be an exciting day for a lucky buyer.

Her dam, Black Marble Summer, is a cow that was the top selling female at the West Winds sale in 2006. Summer has done a very good job for us so far and has a dynamite Youngblood heifer calf this year. Annabell’s sire Arsha’s Polled Umpire needs no introduction. He has consistently produced good heifers and bulls that have done well in the shows, sales and in the pasture. Annabell is halter broke.

She was observed bred to Little Creek Aladdin 11A on May 10 and has been pasture exposed to Aladdin from May 15- sale day.

Youngblood and his progeny have turned heads wherever we have been with them and he is currently the reigning National Grand Champion bull. April’s dam was the reserve champion heifer calf at the National in 2010. With maternal traits on both sides of her pedigree April will end up being a powerhouse of a cow.

She has been pasture exposed to Arsha’s Polled Umpire 219U from May 20th to July 20th.

April calves require a little different management; which we are not set up for. Crystal Belle is a full sister to Crystal Amanda 35A we sold to Ian Kruis at the Cream of the Crop Sale last year. But this one is polled. Judy is one of the top milking cows in my herd; which is probably why she calves in April.

Here is a definite heifer for the keeper pen! This year we had many heifers born off of our Crystal Wilmer bull. We decided we would pick out one of the polled heifers for this year’s National Sale. Ballerina is a very easy keeping; well put together calf that is out of a first calf heifer. Ballerina’s mom has done her job very well; we sold Georgina to Ashley McNevan and Tyler Sutcliffe. Wilmer has been the best investment we have made as a breeding operation to date, he produced good footed, easy calving, phenotypically correct calves that were mainly polled.

Out of 50+ calves born to Wilmer, only 3 had horns. Ballerina is entered in the show on Sunday but if the buyer wishes to take her home prior to the show they are welcome to. If they choose to let her stay for the show; transportation is the responsibility of the buyer.

BREEDER’S GUARANTEE — FEMALES: Cows represented as being “pregnancy tested safe in calf’ have been examined and declared safe by a licensed veterinarian and will be accompanied by a Veterinarian’s Certificate to this effect. They are considered breeders without further guarantee. Cows with calves less than six (6) months of age at side shall be considered breeders also without further guarantee. Cows and heifers represented as “bred” are not guaranteed safe in calf but they and open heifers selling as individual lots are guaranteed to be breeders. No guarantee shall apply to suckling calves. In the event that a female is claimed to be a non-breeder, after having been bred regularly to a bull known to be a breeder and after having been examined by a licensed veterinarian, the matter must be reported in writing to the seller within six (6) months of sale date. For heifers under twelve (12) months of age and purchased as single lots and who fail to conceive to the service of a bull known to be a breeder, the matter must be reported in writing to the seller before the heifer reaches eighteen (18) months of age. The seller shall have six (6) additional months in which to prove any such female a breeder and may use any registered bull of the breed available to him. Any female returned will be at the buyers risk and must be in good health.. No guarantee is given that a pregnant female will deliver live calves, nor that she will carry the calves full term, nor that the calf carried will not be mummified. The seller is not responsible for damage caused by foreign bodies nor for sickness not apparent at sale time.

Should any female be transplanted or given injections for transplant, all guarantees are void.

SETTLEMENT OF GUARANTEES: Transportation charges on animals returned to the seller are for account of the buyer. No incidental expenses such as feed care. A.I. signed fees, interest, veterinary charges, etc. will be charged by either party when making settlement. If the seller is successful in proving the animal in question to a breeder, then said animal must be reclaimed by the buyer at his expense. Should the seller fail to prove the animal a breeder, then the buyer is guaranteed a satisfactory replacement, F.O.B ranch or location origin, or refund of the actual purchase price paid. In no event shall the seller be responsible for more than the original purchase price. Should a dispute arise over the quality of a replacement animal, the Canadian Blonde d’Aquitaine Association or the Ontario Blonde d’Aquitaine Association will a point a mediator.

SOLICITING Promoting the sale of cattle, other than those in the sale is frowned upon and considered an unethical practice during any sale.

ACCIDENTS Although every precaution will be taken to protect the safety and comfort of buyers, neither The Canadian Blonde d’ Aquitaine Association, nor the Ontario Blonde d’ Aquitaine Association, nor the Auctioneer, nor the Owner assumes any responsibility in these matters and disclaims any liability, legal or otherwise in the event of accident or loss of property.
