KAY-R Luxor 1225K is a truly exciting individual that we feel replicates what we try to produce here. A March bull that checks all the boxes for us, huge growth with a moderate birthweight and a look and build that demands your attention. Luxor is very unique in the way he carries a masculine look in such an appealing package. He has so much width and dimension through his hip and center of body and ties into a very eye appealing front end and head. 1225K gets out on a hind leg that is built to last and steps down a near perfect foot. His dam has truly been one of our best for 11 years with an udder that still looks like it did when she entered production.

I reckon you better take a serious look at 1224K. A bull that has been a favorite to everyone from the beginning. Admired for his look and presence in a powerful package. Recon is a unique individual that excels in terms of length of body and carrying so much muscle and power in a sound made package. You really have to appreciate his width in such a level square made package. His 11 year old dam is a no miss producer that has been a standout female in our herd for over a decade.

KAY-R Simplistic 404K is a high quality individual that is very hard to put a hole in. A unique blend of rib shape and length of body. 404K is a true beef bull with an explosive amount of muscle and power in a functional build. One of the stoutest bulls in the offering with a huge hip and deep lower quarter. A maternal sister was campaigned successfully, winning a jackpot show and grabbing two reserve division banners at fall shows. Top 4% for REA 15% for CW,WW 25% for YW and 35% for MWWT.

KAYR QUARTERMASTER 24K

KAY-R Quartermaster 24K is a truly unique breeding piece. A bull that has an overwhelming amount of raw muscle and softness. 24K has a ton of depth starting in his heart and carries it through to the center part of his rib and body. What really makes Quartermaster so impressive is the amount of width and hip he has while carrying so much masculinity in such an attractive and good looking package. He is one of the most powerful individuals we have ever offered and gets out and moves on a good foot and great hind leg. His young dam is the type of female we are trying to build a whole herd of. An attractive made female with a ton of length and angularity that has some muscle and shape through her hip and center body with an udder built to last. 24K has a unique outcross pedigree that has been used here for years and has stood the test of time. A bull that packs a punch with a great look in a functional package. To top it off Quartermasters EPD profile is impressive as well top 15% WW 25% YW,

He carries so much shape and depth through his whole body and carries a ton of muscle over his top and through his back down to his lower quarter and has an extremely attractive head and neck. A full brother was very well received and sold to Bar J Charolais in last year’s sale and we think Ranch Hand has the same qualities. The first Doc Holidays entered into production this year and they have far surpassed expectations with great maternal strengths and gorgeous udders. 88K is in the top 15% for REA 20% for MWWT 25% for WW, YW and FAT 30% for MK and 40% for MARB.

Another Doc Holiday son that has been a favorite all year long. KAY-R Riggins 825K is a very eye appealing fault free individual that impresses you with his length of body and muscle expression. He carries a ton of shape in his hip and rib and strides out perfectly every time on a very high quality foot. His dam is a very impressive young female with a gorgeous udder and phenomenal look. Our Commissioner daughters have become some of our most consistent producers here and the Doc Holidays have us really excited about their future here. I believe the son’s out of 825K will be favorites in your bullpen and the females he will leave behind will truly be impressive. Riggins has a very well balanced EPD profile landing in the top 50% in all but two categories. If the majority of our younger cows weren’t off Commissioner and Doc Holiday i’m not sure if we would let him go.

PONCHO 636K

KAY-R Poncho 636k is a very appealing bull that has a ton of presence. 636K has a ton of look and is very intriguing in his build. He carries himself with an attractive front end and smooth shoulder and still has a masculine herd bull look. You really have to admire him for his length of body and width. Poncho is a very complete herdsire that will add look and power to your next calf crop.

636K

KAYR GRID MAKER 28K

We have dug back into the AI tank and have used some Grid Maker again simply because his females are ideal in their look and build and produce high quality offspring every year. The vast majority of our cow herd stems back to Grid Maker and this might be the best son we have raised to date. 28K is the type of bull your bull buyers all ask for; sound, good footed bull with performance and calving ease. What makes 28K special is in the amount of length and depth he has in a very complete and attractive package. Built in longevity and quality here with a great set of numbers to top it all off top

KAYR FRUITION 26K

“Fruition” the point at which a plan or project is realized. 26K is a plan that has come together perfectly. A truly unique calving ease prospect with a great look and all the extras. Fruition is soft through the center of his body and through his heart and transitions into a perfect shoulder placement with an attractive head and neck. For being a calving ease bull he has an abundant amount of presence and natural muscle that carries over his top and through his lower quarter and hip. 26K also boasts an impressive set epd’s while being in the top 10% for BW and CE and top 20% for WW. However the icing on the cake might be the cow family backing him up. Stemming from the Annabelle cow family that has been maybe the most productive and profitable we have ever had and continue to excel. We had 8 natural calves sell out the Commissioner Annabelle cross in last year’s sale that were very well received. If you’re looking for a heifer bull to add quality to your calf crop, you found your bull. Fruition was the Reserve champion junior bull calf champion at Canadian Western Agribition.

COMMISSIONER 59K

KAY-R Commissioner 59K is a really exciting calving ease prospect that has the capability to add a ton of quality to his calf crop. 59K is a perfect example of why the Commissioners have become so popular in many operations across North America. He has a ton of shape and sogginess, in a sound structured attractive package. 59K is built so square and correct and still has an abundant amount of muscle shape through his lower quarter. This is one of the better calving ease bulls we have offered and we believe he will make your job easier and provide extra quality as well. In the top 2% for BW and 5% for CE.

KAYR COMMISIONER 802K

Another high quality Commissioner son that does so many things right. A bull with some extra growth and easy doing ability in a very nice well balanced package. KAY-R Commissioner 802K is extremely deep bodied and wide over his top and carries a lot of shape down into his hip. A full brother sold a couple years ago to some very good customers in Rimbey and he was a front runner in that year’s set and we believe 802K is also. A very high quality individual with some added look and consistency with a very nice set of numbers.

Polled

Handy Dandy is a bull we used off the time tested Ledger who still is making an impact in programs all over and the cow that raised the Ft. Worth Stock Show Reserve Champion Charolais Bull KAY-R Patent in 2016 and the cow that started the Annabelle cow family. KAY-R Calvary 51H is a bull that is so complete and has a ton of raw muscle and easy fleshing ability. He is well built through his shoulder and neck with an attractive head.

KAY-R MISS BEAUTY 203B

KAY-R Turnback 39K is a bull with a great look and high quality build and design. One of the stoutest, soggiest bulls we have in the offering in a great footed functional package. I really like how much natural mass and presence 39K has to offer. If you want to add some power to your calf crop Turnback will do just that.

KAYR LUDLOW 852K

Polled

KAY-R Pecos 17K sired by the popular Outsider and off an exceptional young Commissioner cow is a bull we feel has a ton of future. Outsider females have maybe been the most decorated to come along in some time winning shows all over the world and we feel that with added growth, calving ease and quality of the Commissioner’s provides a ton of quality. 17K is extremely attractive in his look and build and still has a ton of natural width and muscle shape through his lower quarter and hip and carries through his center body and heart with a deep and soft look. I believe much like his sire Pecos will produce extremely high quality females and bulls that never go out of style. In the top 10% for BW and CE. It’s hard to build a calving ease bull with this much added quality.

KAY-R Timberland 812K is another prime example of why Tapadero is getting so much use here. A really attractive built bull with a ton of softness and length in his center body and ties into a big square hip. 812K gets out on a great hind leg and carries himself with a lot of presence and look. His dam has been producing our best for the last 15 years and will soon be entering our donor pen. Timberland is a maternal brother to Velocity and his sisters are standouts in our herd. A end of February calf that doesn’t sacrifice performance with maternal attributes. Really study this young herd sire he is very hard to fault.

733K

KAY-R Wheeler 733K is one of the deepest stoutest bulls we have in this year’s pen. He is so soft and easy fleshing in a big stout masculine package. He has a great look and is built to last starting with his nice hind leg and sound structure. Another reason why we like these Tapaderos so much. Performance with a look and presence that is hard to not like. Wheeler ranks in the top 3% for REA 15% for CW and in the top 50 percentile in all but one.

KAYR CHISUM 711K

Chisum is smooth fronted and long bodied like all the Tapadero sons are. His mother is broody female with tons of milk and has been a consistent producer for us. 711k will be a easy calving bull and still provide ample growth in his calves.

KAYR JOURNEY 723K

Polled

Stamped like all the Tapadero’s, long, smooth fronted and free moving. His dam is a large framed cow and consistently out produces herself.

KAYR DOZER 901K

Polled

Dozer is stacked with calving ease on both sides of his pedigree. The Tapadero’s are easy calving with lots of vigour at birth and the Double Visons are the same way. If calving ease is what your looking for then this guy is for you.

FARGO 811U

HC RHINESTONE 5100

CSS SIR GRIDMAKER 2W

CEDARLEA UZA 39U

307K is backed by one of the most prolific cow families we have. Tilt has a granddam that is just now entering our donor program. His dam 307A is massive middled brood matron as is the 26Y grandmother. 307K puts a lot together in one package. His EPD profile is outstanding and when you combine that with his awesome structural build he is a true herd bull in the making.

This guy is just a M arch born bull but he ranks right at the top with all the early January born claves. He is one the highest indexing bulls in the sale. His dam is moderate in frame but a heavy milking young cow and can wean off a calf the same size as her. Calving ease, high growth and longevity are plentiful in this mating.

Kershaw is stout, hairy, moderate and thick. Calving ease is what this guy will provide and not take away any performance.

811K is designed to be a performance bull. He is long bodied, thick and squared hipped. He will sire calves that will tip the scales on sale day! His sire is consistently producing some our heaviest weaning weights and KAYR 811K will do the same.

Horned

Jericho is one the larger framed bulls in the offering. His exceptionally long bodied and will provide pounds to all his offspring at weaning time. He’s loaded with hair and muscle, traits which we feel are a must to sire calves that top the market.

Polled

539X

713K is designed to bring calving ease and big performance together. He will sire calves that will consistently be heavy when it matters most, at weaning. His dam has produced high selling sons in the past. Pay weight is what you’ll get here.

A moderate framed, smooth made son of Doc Holiday that is low birth and high growth.

A very well balanced Doc Holiday son that many people will find sale day. He brings calving ease and soundness together in one package. He is thick made with a smooth shoulder and lots of bone to him.

Westward sums up our breeding program over the past several seasons. Sired by Commissioner for calving ease and growth and out of a Key’s Jackson X Classic dam that is a beautiful uddered first calf heifer with a big future ahead of her.

27K has the tools needed to be a great herd bull. He starts with a 78 lbs BW and weaned off with a 815 lbs weaning weight. Be sure to look him up sale day as heifer bulls that don’t sacrifice weaning weights are hard to come by.

Another real solid stout made Commissioner son that started with a 80 lbs BW and weaned off a first calf heifer with a impressive 820 weaning weight.

The dam to 910K has been for the record books here at KAYR. She has had as bid of a impact on our cow herd as any that have walked our pastures. She has produced three herd sires working in purebred operations and numerous bulls in commercial farms. One of her sons, KAYR Mainstreet made a lasting impact in the Effertz Key Ranch in North Dakota and we feel that this guy could do the same for his new owners. He’s a larger framed, longer bodied bull with great feet.

Buzz has been a favourite here since birth. We purchased 75K’s dam from WSS Charolais in Ontario and she was a great addition to our herd. She has a beautiful udder and a great disposition. Buzz is a soggy made and hairy bull with a super look like his dam.

KAYR BUZZ 75K

KAYR DURACELL 518K

KAY-R

is sired by the exciting young herdsire Houlio who has really impressed us with his first set of calves. Duracell is so attractive in his eye appeal and look but doesn’t sacrifice any width or dimension. He carries a ton of depth and sogginess and carries it through over his top and down into his lower quarter. Stemming from a Grid Maker out of the Annabelle cow family who consistently produces high quality progeny. Combined with Houlio this is a calf that will bring a ton of consistency and quality to his calf crop. Top 4% for MK 10%

Smitty is bred to be a performance sire. His sire KAYR RICO was purchased by Johnson Ranching for 30,000$ in one of our past sales and has been doing a fantastic job for them siring high selling performance bulls in their annual bull sale. 511K will be mature and do big things along the way for his new owner. He’s a maternal brother to lot 21.

We purchased a semen pack in the 105,000$ Hulio bull and we are sure glad that we did. 123K is complete in every way. Started small with a 75LBS BW and lots of vigour at birth. He’s really long bodied, and thick with a great head and smooth flat shoulders. His Dam has been a great producer for us for many years and there are many sons working in commercial herds with great success.

841K is the only JWX Honky Tonk son that we have in this years sale but Honky Tonk will become a important sire for us in the next breeding seasons. Everest has a great look to him with a wide top, a deep quarter, and a perfect skull structure. He will give you calving ease and growth and stamp his calves with a great look.

Mescalito has really impressed us with the quality of females he has given us and adding extra performance to our bullpen. KAY-R Mescalito 507K is a great example of just that, a high performing bull with added muscle, length and softness built in an attractive functional package. 507K is off a high performing Grid Maker daughter that is always a pasture favorite. If you’re looking to add some extra pounds and growth to your calf crop 507K will do just that.
