Welcome... Welcome to our 16th Annual Bull Sale! First off I’d like to thank all our customers and friends who have supported us throughout the years to make this, our 16th Annual Sale possible.Without all your help and support we couldn’t continue doing what we love for this long. I’m not gonna claim this to be the best set of bulls we’ve ever brought to town, I think that’s up to each and every one of you to decide. I like them. Nice and consistent. Top to bottom I think we are bringing to town a bull that will suit a need. Lots of calving ease and maternal on the Angus side. Lower birthweight Char bulls with lots of jam and good dispositions. We will be switching our Charolais bulls into a two year old program. This will be the 1st year offering two’s, while next year we expect to sell 10 yearlings and 20 two’s. After that we think it will be all two’s. We think by being able to grow those bulls out slower we can still offer a bull that will be big enough but not overfed and burnt out when he goes to breeding. Feel free to come view the bulls any time before March 25th at the feedlot. The two year olds are at home. Please join us for lunch at Perlich prior to the sale, and we hope to see you there.

Insurance: Insurance will be available sale say. Any bulls going back with us we strongly recommend insuring
Delivery: We will provide free delivery on all bulls throughout Western Canada, as long as we can work on the following schedule. We need to have all the 2 year olds delivered by April 23rd. We need the room at home. I won’t be able to deliver any bulls between April 25th and about June 1st, so if you need your bull in between there we can bring him earlier, or you can come get him when you’re ready. We’ll start delivering again after June 1st. Take your bull home sale day and receive $150 off your bull.
Terms:
Insurance: An insurance agent will be available sale day to assist you with any insurance needs you may have. Although Thistle Ridge will be more than willing to keep your bull purchases for you until you need them, if taking this option we strongly recommend insurance as we cannot be responsible for bulls injuring themselves after the sale. Remember, bulls do 4 things. Eat, sleep, breed and fight. That’s 50% of the time doing something they could get hurt at.

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.
H Cow bull. Period. primarily for cows. If you only have a few heifers mixed in you can get HH Recommended away with it, but do expect to probably help a few. HHH Heifer bull. I would personally use these bulls on my heifers with no second thoughts. H H H H with absolutely no assistance.
These bulls have generations of calving ease bred in, and should calve any type of heifer
**Please note that a 3 Star Charolais bull is rated as used on Charolais heifers. I am still not comfortable recommending them on Angus heifers that I don’t know. **

Don’t let this younger bull sneak past you because of his age. He’s awful good. A 111 wean index and 133 gain index and still every bit usable for heifers as well.
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.

If it works for the new owner, I would like to hand breed this guy to a few cows this spring. His dam is a phenotypically perfect Angus cow who goes back to one of our herd matriarchs, Red Waterview D4H, a cow we purchased from the recently passed Glenn Elliott of Waterview Red Angus. We need more of those genetics back in the herd.
Red Gene Carriers...
A quick explanation on how the red gene is passed on
Incredible hunting experience in Manitoba
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.

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. Gideon's last year in Midget Hockey.

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.
