Welcome to the “Best of the Breeds Bull sale” on March 26, 2023, at Heartland Livestock Services, Yorkton, Saskatchewan. This being the 19th annual event, from its premiere sale in the Leross Auction Mart, Best of the Breeds has grown and matured into one of the leading, if not the best, all breeds bull sale each spring. It has been the source of many breeder bulls in all divisions and 2023 will be no different as the headliners were shelved for this sale.
The Simmental offering by Forden Fairview is deep and exciting with homo polled Fleckvieh and Red and Black domestics… their strongest offering to date.
Blair from Goodview presents a powerful lineup of Red and Black Gelbvieh. The Gelbvieh section is the strongest offered in the nation with several breeder bulls lurking.
The folks from Twin Heritage represent the Red Angus part of the sale. They come to town with sleep easy calving sire’s ideal for heifer pastures. They raise performance bulls who all have a high degree of maternal value.
The Black Angus comes from Black Ridge Angus Farm. This is a multi-generation seedstock operation known for its high standard of quality and great customer service.
Charolais were the base that started this sale. Harcourts and Zentners are the Charolais suppliers. Their offering is large and powerful. Included is a divisional champion from Agribition and some two-year-olds for bigger cows and bigger pastures. We all know the value of a Charolais bull walking in your pasture.
This is a sale one should not miss – onestop shopping for your next sires. The quality is high, and the breeders rank among the best…. a great way to spend a Sunday!
If we may be of assistance prior to, or sale day, feel free to contact any of the T Bar Team or myself, we will help you in a professional manner. Chris
Welcome to the 19th edition of the Best of the Breeds bull sale. Thank you to our repeat buyers and new customers that support our program. We focus our breeding on the main areas that cattlemen look at when purchasing a new bull; calving ease, growth and performance, hair, soundness and docility. We provide stout, moderate framed bulls that can get out and service your cows. We are pleased with this year’s offering as it exemplifies our breeding program.
We spent a lot on walking bulls in the past few years and are really excited about our offering with a mix of bulls by our herd sires, as well as some industry leading A.I. sires. We will have carefree bulls to run in your heifer pen or performance bulls to put with your cow herd.
Each year we keep back some bulls born too late to make our sale. They are on standby for our customers in case of a bull wreck during summer. The long yearlings we have on offer are these bulls we kept back. Developed on green feed oats until December 2022, then bull developer pellets and hay to provide bulls that will cover more ground and more cows without breaking down.
The Char cross advantage was obvious again this year in the feeder calf market. Take a hold of one of these great breeding bulls and pocket a bit more cash with your calf crop.
If you have questions or would like to come see the bulls and their mothers, please call or stop in.
