Welcome
30 years is a long time. 30 years of bulls, customers, friends and family connected through the Tools of the Trade Annual Bull & Female sale feels like quite an accomplishment and fills us with pride and gratitude. Thank you for helping us get to our 30th Annual Sale.
2024 was one for the record books around here. As most of you will already know, we love to show breeding cattle. It’s a great way for us to showcase our program, connect with new and repeat customers and have a little fun along the way. Our year included exhibiting 3 animals that went undefeated in their divisions, 3 Agribition Supreme qualifiers in 2 breeds, 2 Alberta Supreme qualifiers and was capped off by winning both the Agribition and Alberta Supremes with Red Wilbar Hennessy 3K. That is something a Red Angus bull has never done before.
When you start looking in the red pen, you’ll find Stranglehold, the undefeated senior bull calf as Lot 1 offered in his entirety. His quality is matched by a paternal brother and a group of paternal brothers to his sire, Hennessy himself. Add in a nice group of half brothers to our 2024 high seller, Admission, sons of 2022 high seller, Intuition, our strongest and largest offering of Quarterback sons and new sire group from Moonie.

The black group is headlined by a group of extremely high quality sons of Dexterity (Reserve National Champion, Agribition Supreme qualifier). Their pen mates include and exciting pair of Big Valley sons, two flushmates to the $50,000 Wilbar Sarita 653M as well as some intriguing sons of 4Real and Glaciers. All that without even mentioning the exceptional sons of 2022 high seller Milestone and Rainman.
Our goal each year is to offer you the best we ever have and we are proud to say that goal has been achieved this year. We are pleased to present our strongest, most consistent group to date. Whether you are shopping in the black pen or the red pen, the group is sound, functional, hairy, gentle and growthy.
As in past years, the bulls have been developed on a forage based ration with longevity in mind. The ration includes cereal silage, brown oats, tub ground hay and the Bullseye protein/mineral supplement to ensure proper growth and development. This ration promotes overall health, hair growth, foot quality, fertility and libido.
The bulls are parent verified, fertility tested, carcass evaluated and performance tested. Our goal is to provide you with the information you require to make the selection that best suits your needs.
Please stop in ahead of the sale for a tour of the sale group, their mothers & sisters and the commercial heifers.
We look forward to seeing you at our 30th annual sale! The bulls will be on display at 10 and lunch is at 11:30. If you are unable to join us in person, please register on DLMS or connect with us or any of our awesome sale staff on the phone.

From The Desk at T Bar
The Annual Tools of the Trade is truly a highlight in the livestock industry. Backed by an elite breeding operation that was founded in 1963, the folks at Wilbar present an outstanding lineup of Angus bulls… sires that will greatly affect breeders and ranchers as we move forward in this exciting cattle industry.
The twelfth day of March, 2025 will be opportunity day at the farm near Dundurn, Saskatchewan as Bryan, Tracey and family host their 30th annual “Tools of the Trade” by sharing their breeding program with you. Wilbar Cattle Co. is a household name in the Angus breed and is often referred to as producing quality seedstock.
This was never more evident than last fall as Wilbar Hennessy 3K dominated the show ring being selected Grand Champion Bull at Olds, National Champion and Supreme Bull at Farm Fair and Canadian Western Agribition where he was selected the SUPREME CHAMPION BEEF BULL in the Nation and his first son, Red Wilbar Stranglehold 814M, Lot 1, was named Senior Bull Calf Champion and is a feature in Tools of the Trade 2025. Three sons of the Supreme Champion will sell in addition to eight paternal brothers’ sired by Red Wilbar Highlight. In addition to this diverse powerful group of red bulls, you will find a half dozen sons sired by the calving ease Quarterback son.
The Black Angus offering is solid from end to end in type and kind. Optimal in frame size, packed full of muscle mass, hair and testicles, they come to you with performance numbers in weaning and yearling weight without sacrificing calving and maternal values. The sons of Dexterity, Big Valley, Glacier, Milestone and Rainman offer many herd sire possibilities for breeders and ranchers alike. The Barricade X Sarita bulls are full brothers to the heifers featured in Opportunity Knocks and will be highlights in this event as well.
Bryan and Tracey travel many miles, always searching for new sires to supply their many customers with new and fresh genetics adding to their highly predictable cow herd base. The commercial heifers are straight bred, uniform in size and type and will be valuable replacements for any type of program.
Plan to be with us for this outstanding and exciting offering of Red and Black Angus breeding stock… an event you should not miss. Feel free to stop by the farm anytime prior to the sale or just give them a call to discuss the bulls that will enhance the value of your breeding program.
If we, at T Bar C may be of any assistance prior to or sale day, do not hesitate to call any of our team and we will be pleased to assist in a professional and confidential manner.

• The dam is an outcross straight Argentine bred female. She topped the Opportunity Knocks 4.0 sale for an incredible $100,000 selling to an international partnership
• I’d say they both have pretty heavy bone structure and stand very square on excellent feet
• Barricade semen is hard to find and when you do it’ll cost ya
• We sold two flush mate sisters to these bulls for $50,000 and $22,000 last fall in the Opportunity Knock 5.0 sale
• Very unique bulls in person and on paper

• A trio of flush mates out of the Kylie and Owen’s Koyle Echo 104 donor
• Sired by the Duff-JC 4Real bull who we have used now for a couple of years now. We love the body, rib and muscle 4Real breeds into his progeny. The bulls are muscular and masculine while the daughters are nice fronted and attractive with big sweeping ribcages and good udder quality
• These 3 gentle natured bulls follow suit with the type and kind of their sire. Throw in the performance of SAV America and the maternal strength of the Echo cow, you pack quite a genetic punch
• The maternal granddam was a past Agribition Supreme Champion Female for Blairs.Ag
• Paternal brothers to our Reality Check 137K herd bull

• Here is a bull with all the tools of the trade
• If we were to draw up a design of an ideal structured bull with all the characteristic balance we look for in a herd bull, 697M could be the poster bull
• Wide over his top carrying down into a capacious rib cage and then transitioning to a proud, smooth and attractive front end
• He is the last calf out of a really good cow, the old 584B cow. If you had a whole herd of females that looked like her you’d be proud as punch. Broody, massive bodied with a perfect udder
