Welcome...

Welcome to the Best of the West Shorthorn Bull Sale. It is with great pleasure that we are once again working with this fantastic group of consignors on the prestigious event. The bulls on offer this year are nothing short of incredible. This is truly the strongest set of bulls top to bottom that we have seen in this sale to date so please study the offering in depth. I also encourage you to contact each consignor individually to discuss their offering with them.

The bulls on offer this year are the right kind. These bulls are stout, hairy, sound and are backed by some of the best momma cows and genetics the Shorthorn breed has to offer.

There is a large selection of both calving ease bulls for a pen if replacement heifers or young cows as well as power bulls for a large group of mature cows. These bulls are represented by both yearlings and two year olds with a large selection of roan, red and white bulls on offer. These bulls are in the right condition and have been fed to last. They are also guaranteed 100% so please bid and buy with the upmost of confidence.

Please plan on joining us March 26th in Airdrie for the Best of the West Shorthorn Bull Sale. If for any reason you are unable to attend, all of us at First Class Cattle Marketing will be very familiar with the offering. It will be our pleasure to represent you in a professional and confidential manner in selecting your next herd sire. DLMS will also be onsite if internet bidding is what you prefer. I hope to be able to visit with everyone in Airdrie and wish you all the best in the upcoming bull sale season.

Sincerely,

Darnell Fornwald

CACTUS FLAT SHORTHORNS We bought Gladiator in last year’s Best of the West sale from Diamond Shorthorns. We used him on all our heifers last year. We’re very excite to see what the heifers bring bred to Gladiator. We have Circle M Field Marshall that we plan to use probably on everyone this year. When we bought him, I saw Polled, length, easy fleshing as they come, most of all came from the Anwender Winegum/Candy Cow Family, which I thought would be a big positive in our cow family. Glady is a very inquisitive, quiet as they come laid back kinda guy, that will get the job done. We really enjoyed and will miss Glady’s presence here at the farm.

SWEETGRASS RANCHES Grassland has been a standout since day one. Lots of performance, muscle shape and soundness. He’s big middled and shows lots of herd bull characteristics. His dam is big footed, nice uddered and really upped her game with the production of Grassland. His sire PVF Gravity was brought up from Paint Valley Farms in Ohio by myself, Dixon’s, Buba, and Stonegate. We successfully showed him in his yearling year. I have a crop of very nice females sired by Gravity and Grassland will for sure be his best produced male progeny. Grassland is big testicled and being a December born gives him a great age advantage to get out early and become a great breeding tool

DIAMOND SHORTHORNS A standout since birth, Hendrix, is by the great Australian sire Royalla Rockstar K274. His dam is a highly productive cow from the powerful Baroness family that has been in the Diamond herd for over forty years. Hendrix is an outcross to most Shorthorn cattle in North America. He is the complete package. He is jam packed with style, thickness and a wonderful easy going temperament. This bull has exceptional movement and is very structurally sound. Potentially the most complete sire to come out of Jaimie’s herd in her 30 years of breeding. We would like to retain the opportunity to show this extraordinary individual if the shows are open in 2021. He is halter broken and ready to go. Selling possession and half semen interest

He’s super eye appealing and is quick to catch your eye with his long front end and perfect red neck roan colouring. He’s mellow made, stout and hairy. His mom is a nice refined young white cow who is a PVF Gravity daughter going back to a cow I brought up from the Jungel’s program from North Dakota. 47F did a nice job in raising Hurler as her first go in the production department.

Hank’s dam is another New Generation Cactus Flat Foundation female that we bought at same 4’s company sale in 2017. 6S Della 25D is a Big Red, Docile, consistent beautiful female to look at. So far this is her first bull calf, she has produced two producing females, plus a exceptional Ooops! Grandaughter, that all three will be going no where! The one genetic defect that Hank carries is one Negative against this guy. But he could go on to breed double positive in characteristics. He is also a must see, just yearling bull.
