Welcome...
Welcome to our 13th Annual Bull Sale! It is once again a pleasure to invite one and all to our bull sale. The cattle business is our way of life, therefore the people in the cattle business are very important to us as well. That’s why we consider it an honor whether you need a bull or not, to come out for a visit and a steak supper and enjoy some refreshments with us. The bulls are a little greener this year as they had an extremely tough spring followed by a shortage of grass. They are advancing nicely though, and we refuse to push them to try to make up for it. Their longevity is what’s really important to us. They will be ready. This year as always we will be working with the crew at Perlich, as well as Mark and Roger from O.B.I, and Shane from Castlerock. Also, new this year will be the addition of internet bidding through DLMS. If you have any questions regarding any bulls, or any cows, feel free to give me or any one of our qualified sales staff a call. See you sale day. Thanks,
Ben & Carol Tams

www.thistleridgeranch.ca A note on our calving ease score. I’ve seen this used before in other catalogs and I really like the idea. Not only does it give you a really good view point on how the bull should calve, but it’s also another way to make us accountable. So here’s how I score them. Cow bull.

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 black, but do have the red gene, then you have a 25% chance of getting a red calf. If you breed a black red gene carrier to red cows then you have a 50% chance of getting red calves. If you breed a red bull, with black in its pedigree to red cows, they will always be red calves. Red bred to red will always be red.

I really like this shaggy freight train. 4th bull in a row his dam has sent through the sale with 2 going to Bekkering Bros and 1 to Monique Slingerland. His length adds to his birth weight but I would still use him exclusively on cows.

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.
Vaccination Protocol
All bulls were vaccinated in the fall with Pyramid 5, 7-Way Somnugen, and Ivomec. They were boostered with Pyramid 5 six weeks later.
Bull Warranty 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.
