Welcome... Welcome to our 12th Annual Bull Sale! It is with great pleasure that we invite friends and customers to help us celebrate our 12th sale. As I’m writing these notes we just got through another – 25 wind chill night. I keep reminding myself that tow truck drivers need to make money too. Another great set of bulls for your appraisal. The Charolais bulls are by far our best set to date. There’s a lot of moderate birthweight bulls in there, and some absolute rippers off of our 2 newest herd sires. The Black Angus bulls are off 2 main sires, CKM 138B, our go to heifer bull, and Young Dale Believe 46B, the $146,000 record high selling bull in Canada in 2015. The Red Angus bulls are the largest set of calving ease bulls we have ever had on offer. A full 75% of them can be safely used on 1st calving heifers. Just a reminder again that we are going with a 3 PM start this year. It gives us a few more hours to organize and sort bulls in the morning, and without Rob's help, we're going to need it. If you have any question feel free to give me or Carol, or any one of our capable staff of Bob, Darcy, John, Roger, and Mark a call. Thanks, and hope to see you March 23rd.

Rob Holowaychuk - March 29th, 1951 – October 4th, 2017 We lost a good friend and mentor this fall with the passing of Rob. The hour long phone calls are missed and will be for years to come. I don’t know what I enjoyed more, discussing things we agreed on, or the arguments that we had over anything and everything from school zones to religion, sometimes even cattle. The conversations always included a “ Listen Bucko”, “ I’m gonna help you out a minute” , “ Let me explain the real world to you”. His help in running our bull sale successfully cannot be overstated. Sale day mornings when my head started to wander, he was instrumental in keeping things calm, cool, and collected. He had a great eye for good cattle, and a soft spot in his heart for the little guy. Lost but never forgotten. “ Like and appreciate the kind”.

We made the mistake of not getting enough semen on Rolls Royce before breeding season last year, and his sons are noticeably absent from the sale line up this year. A $60,000 purchase by U2 Ranch in our 2015 bull sale, he sired our high seller last year at $31,000 to Hill 70 Quantock.

A $146,000 Canadian record setting bull in 2015, we purchased a semen package on 46B and couldn’t be happier. Style and substance sums up his outstanding set of bull calves. For all the jam he possesses he still is a very moderate calver, which is a huge bonus we hadn’t totally counted on. 8 sons sell. owned by riChMond rAnCh .

We found this impressive herd sire at the 66 Ranch 2015 Bull Sale. We’ve used him 2 years in a row on all of our black heifers, as well as clean up duty on all the straight black cows. He adds thickness and docility, while maintaining very moderate birth weights. 5 sons sell.

We guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull capable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. In the event that your bull is a nonsatisfactory breeder the seller will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for more than the original selling price of any bull or female sold in the sale. The consignors will not provide replacement or credit for physical injury or mismanagement. Therefore we stress the importance of insurance on your bull. An insurance agent will be available on sale day.

Red Gene Carriers... A quick explanation on how the red gene is passed on
If you breed a black red gene carrier to black cows with no red gene, you will get black calves. If some of your cows are 90 black, but do have the red gene, then you have a 25% 94 chance of getting a red calf. If you breed a black red gene 51 68 carrier to red cows then you have a 50% chance of getting MAR Fat red calves. If you breed a red bull, with black in its pedigree 0.24 -0.002 to red cows, they will always be red calves. Red bred to red P P will always be red. indeX

Born with some meat on their bones, excellent hair coats, lots of vigor, and big time growth.

Many of these bulls will be ¾ brothers which is what we are really trying to do to offer a more consistent product. 178E is another Lamont out of a Diablo deal, moderate framed and should be easy calving.

Understanding Ultrasound In order to use body composition EPD’s or ultrasound data to its full potential, a breeder must have an understanding of ultrasound terminology. Several of the ultrasound measurements are comparable to the familiar carcass measurements. The data is simply collected on yearling bullsa and heifers instead of market ready steers. Take a step back from looking at the numbers and become comfortable with the terminology.
ultrAsound CArCAss MeAsureMents
ribFat/backfat: An external fat measurement taken between the 12th and 13th rib reported in inches. Rib fat is the main trait that affects percent lean meat yield ie; A1, A2, A3 & A4. Percent lean meat yield is the calculation that estimates the percent of lean muscle on the carcass. For example, a lean meat yield of 60% on a 100lb carcass would have 600 lbs of lean muscle and 400 lbs of bone and fat. ribeye Area (reA): An area measurement of the loin or ribeye muscle. Reported in square inches. While an increase in backfat wil lower the percent lean meat yield an increase in REA will raise the percent lean meat yield. rump Fat: An external fat measurement taken from an image collected between the hooks and the pins of the animal.Reported in inches. The rump fat measurement, coupled with the rib fat measurement will increase the accuracy of percent lean meat yield. intramuscular Fat (%iMF)/Marbling: This measurement determines the amount of fat within the muscle. Reported in %. This measurement us used to determine the quality grade of the carcass.
