- the 4th annual event -
March 13, 2025 at the Farm - 1:00 pm - Drake, SK
welcome from welcome from Blairswest Copper Kettle land & cattle cattle co.
On behalf of the Blair family, we would like to formally welcome you to the 4th Annual Blairswest Bull Sale March 13th at the farm. It is something that’s been in the works for many years and this summer when touring through the bull pasture we felt the quality and numbers were there to make the jump to host a live sale. We are a family committed to the cattle industry, even better is building relationships with our customers that last a life time. We feel we have put the work in so when you are shopping for the next herd bull or females your homework is done.
We are very thrilled with the bulls we have on offer and think there is something that suits everybody’s needs from calving ease bulls to power bulls. These bulls are backed by some of the best cow families in the Angus breed. We put our females through a culling process every spring in regards to foot and udder quality, mothering ability and fertility. We feel the beef industry is as strong as it’s ever been, there for us as cattlemen let’s take advantage of it and enjoy every moment.she’s We are super happy to have Copper Kettle Cattle Co as a guest consigner again with a great set of bulls on offer. Allison is a very progressive breeder and always finding new and exciting genetics to push her to the forefront. Allison is not only a guest consigner with us we cherish her friendship to the fullest and helps us with endless amount of things whether it’s parts, to
checking the camera while the crew is gone to hockey games or you name it she’s most-likely done it.
As everybody knows a place can’t be run without great help and we can’t thank our friends, family and neighbours for the endless amount of help throughout the year. This spring we hired Colin as a full-time hand on the farm and he brings great assets to Blairswest and walks into the shop every morning with a huge smile and often brings some snacks that are soon demolished by Scott. Also this fall we welcomed Austin Krieger to the team and he’s been nothing but great for us in helping with getting cattle ready for fall shows or helping get bulls clipped for the sale or assisting in the calving barn and everything and anything in between. As people always say “it takes an army to make things go round” and we truly believe in our crew.
We encourage you to stop by for a visit and take a tour of the bull pen as we are super excited about the our first on farm live bull sale. Feel free to reach out to any of us at Blairswest or the great team at T Bar C with any questions regarding the sale offering and we cannot wait to host you on March 13th. Stay safe and wishing everyone a great calving season.
~The Blair Family
Welcome to the 4th Annual Blairswest Land & Cattle Bull Sale.
I am grateful to the Blair family in welcoming me into this sale last year, and am excited to work with the folks at T Bar C in hosting our first live event. As I sit down to write this welcome, it is -36 and like many producers, are calving out next year’s bull sale candidates! I’m not sure what excites me more; the bulls in this sale or the calf crop hitting the ground! The cattle business may be at an all time high, but we have all had to endure the lows to get to this point. That’s what makes us appreciate the good times even more! Cattle producers are some of the most resilient and creative individuals, that have the ability to persevere even through the most challenging times. There is so much optimism in the livestock industry right now, and I couldn’t be more excited about the Simmental
offering in this sale. Through the use of AI and embryo transfer, I am able to offer bulls that come from some of the most sought after genetics in the Simmental breed. I have utilized sires that have power and performance, structural correctness and fleshing ability. The dams are equally as powerful, but also maternal powerhouses; udder strength, foot quality, temperament, longevity. The combination of these traits are displayed in the bulls on offer; bulls that are going to add some pounds to your calves at weaning and create some really nice females you’ll want to keep as replacements. If you would like to discuss the offering or view the bulls prior to sale day, I would welcome the opportunity to chat with you.
~Allison Porter
Outstanding and exciting!
March 13th will be a day of opportunity as the Blair Family, Blairswest Land and Cattle host their first Annual Bull Sale on the farm, Drake, Saskatchewan. Together with Allison Porter, Copper Kettle Cattle Co., they present a powerful lineup of superior seedstock… Black and Red Angus and Black and Red Simmental. When we think of Blairswest, we think of the last few years in the commercial barn at Canadian Western Agribition… and their dominance in the commercial pen show with their “cookie-cutter” winning pens...calves and breds with hair, volume and uniformity. This explains the quality and uniformity you will find as you tour the powerful lineup of bulls. The purebred herd which they have developed is amazing through embryo transplant on some of the great cows in the breed. Blairswest is the home of the “super cow” Bar-E-L Erica 74A… a donor female who has rewritten the records for production, predictability and fertility. Amazing … yes to date she has produced two hundred and fifty-two recorded progeny. In this feature event in the Angus breed, she has six sons and six grandsons to select from and you’ll enjoy the Erica advantage though her predictable genetics.
In this great lineup, you will have an opportunity to acquire whether it be black or red herd builders that will increase the value of your stockers in the fall and your replacements in the pasture. Sons of great donors, members of the winning fall show season, power bulls and those with calving ease advantage, muscle, hair and temperament, the offering has many possibilities for ranchers and breeders alike. The Simmental section, which Allison presents is loaded with performance, muscle and hair. Her offering is the result of using the strongest, most predictable genetics and enhancing her growing program through embryo transplant. You will be impressed as you tour the Simmentals, both red and black.
Feel free to stop at the farms anytime prior the sale and preview the bulls…. see some of the mothers or just give these folks a call to discuss bulls that will enhance the quality of your herd.
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.

• Blairswest High Resolution 32M comes to you as a “purple” being out of the $150,000 Red Duff HD 2046 herd sire and backed by the great Bar E-L Erica 74A, which makes this pedigree super attractive for any red angus breeder across the country or globally.
• 32M travels around the pen with such style and presence while being level-topped, square hipped and stepping down on a solid foot, which I think is a huge bonus for this red deal. We think this bull is going to do very big things for the industry and would like to be apart of “High Resolution” going forward. Call for more info!!

• Glacier Ice 48M is one we are truly excited about, and think he’s got a long runway ahead of him. This fall at Opportunity Knocks 5.0 we sold 50% Embryo interest on his Dam Blairswest Erica 19E for $30,000, to the great people at Black Gold Simmentals.
• The Erica x Charlo combination has been the most consistent mating around the ranch - then you add Coleman Glacier to the fold which introduces SAV Renown and Coleman Donna 439.
• Glacier Ice is one that walks around the pen with such style and presence. A high volume, deep middled bull that we think very highly of and was a crowd favourite at Canadian Western Agribition in our yard’s pen.

BLAIRSWEST ERICA 39H BAR-E-L ERICA 74A
• Calving is always an exciting time of year, especially when you start with a highly anticipated Glacier son of a 74A x Charlo daughter that has now entered our donor program.
• 1M is one that exemplifies so much true power with an explosive, sweeping rib, while being stout-pinned and one that meets foot structure requirements.
• Neat-pedigreed, top and bottom - backed by some serious cow families. If you’re looking to retain some replacements, I’d put him on the list.
Blairswest
Sire Coleman Glacier 041 & Dam Blairswest Erica 19E
• Excited to introduce Blairswest True Patriot 11M as one of the highlights of this sire group
• 11M has been a standout since birth and hasn’t skipped a beat yet. If you are looking for a bull with an endless amount of natural muscle shape and depth of body, while being straight topped with some added bone, this is your guy.
• This cow has done well in production with raising a bull calf 3 years ago that ranked at the top of the pen, and her Brutus-bred heifer is one we sure are happy to have in production.
• Blairswest Black Angel 82E is one that is very big bodied with an ideal Angus skull, and has a very level udder with ample amounts of milk.
• Cattleman that are looking to add pounds to your calf crop come weaning time should take a serious look at 11M.
Blairswest True Patriot 17M
• Heading into another exciting True Patriot son that’s got some base width, with a touch of added frame size, smooth through his front third with some crest and bold features.
• The True Patriot sire group is one we feel are super correct on the ground.
• 31H is a female that has done a great job in production as she had our high selling bred heifer in Opportunity Knocks 4.0 bull sale. One that we admire for her udder quality and being big bodied.
Ellingson Three Rivers 8062
• 3M is one that has had a lot of friends throughout the summer for his impressive amount of hip, rib, mass and pure power for being 83 pounds at birth.
• Blairswest Erica 45J is one that is big-bodied, has an Erica udder and ideal feet. With her being so productive on her first 2 bull calves so far, she has entered our donor program.
• She would be a full sibling to HLC Erica 561G, who was raised by Hollinger Land & Cattle and sold half to Schaff Angus Valley for $34,000.
• 561G is the dam of HLC CSI Elevation 100K, who recently commanded $52,250 in the Prestigious NWSS Foundation Sale.
• Here is your chance to get in on a hot commodity.
Blairswest Atlantis 18L Maternal Brother purchased by Hummick Springs Ranch
Blairswest Erica 45J
Recommended for Heifers.
• If you are in the market for a heifer bull, I think this one ranks in the top. Robust 18M is one that’s very attractive through his front third, but still having the crest and maturity that we like, while being deep-bodied anad level-topped, with the added length of spine.
• The cow factory Blairswest 44F is one that is always talked about or asked about when on a tour at the ranch. She is powerful, angular and soft-haired, with ample amounts of spring of rib. She is correct on the ground and nice-uddered.

NO DOUBT
• In 2023 while I was in Denver, I came across multiple calves sired by Sterling Pacific and they were very impressive - soon after we flushed Erica 74A that way, which resulted in this Pacific.
• One that gives you an impressive look from the side profile, is super strong-topped and deep-sided, while having some crest and that Angus skull.
• A Bull that attracts the human eye in person, plus he reads super well on paper, being in the top 10% WW & top 15% in YW. 74A on the bottom and injecting Isabel Y69 on the top is something that is exciting.
• With minimal semen in Canada on Sterling Pacific, I think it is a great time to jump on board.
• Retaining 1/3 semen interest
Blairswest Jesse James 31M
• The only son of SAV Jesse James this year, but we believe 31M is of high quality.
• Smaller-headed, soft-haired, big-topped, and an ample amount of bone on him.
• Being backed by the great Erica 74A, he needs no explanation.
• A full sibling was purchased by the great people at Bar-H Land & Cattle and Kolby Heaven from Opportunity Knocks 4.0 for $25,000. If you sit and chat with either of them, they talk very highly of her and are excited to get her into production.
• A full sib at Hollinger land and cattle Made quite a splash this fall on the show road
- SHE IS NICE
• 36M is one that is level-topped, deep-sided, and one that packs some power - but still puts it all together in a smooth-made package.
• Talk about the 74A x Density combo - this is one that you will defnitely hear about around here for a long time to come, with his 2 full sisters in the replacement pen that are true standouts.
• This pedigree is one thats meant for the long haul, if you’re looking to keep replacement heifers, here is a bull that I think will toss some impressive females.
Blairswest
Royal Anthem 78M 11
• Blairswest Anthem 78M is one that strikes for his overall appearance - stouthipped, big-boned, and superb structure. This is a pedigree that is stacked with breed leaders and will command your attention come sale day.
• The Erica 74 x SAV National Anthem combo has been very consistent, with Blairswest True Patriot being our high seller in our first Farm Gate sale to the great people at Steppler Ranches in MT and HLC Erica 561G who sold half interest for $34,000 to the great people at Schaff Angus Valley.
• Backed by the great Erica 74A - she needs no introduction as she is one of the hottest Black cows on the market.
Dam Bar-E-L Erica 74A
Blairswest Dynamite 56M
• Recommended for heifers.
• An attractive, well-balanced bull with some length stoutness and style.
• Being a direct son of the great 74A - who needs no explanation - and Duff Napoleon 232, a combination similar to Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
• When we are really in need of a touchdown, we rely on something that is proven to work - we feel Dynamite is just that.
• Numerous full siblings to 56M are working in great herds such as KT ranches, Blairs.Ag, Arrowsmith Angus, and all were highlights through our Female sale “Opportunity Knocks”.
Blairswest Resilient 50M
• Recommended for heifers.
• Blairswest Resilient 50M is a calving ease bull with thickness, muscle, and stoutness, and one that captures your attention when you enter the pen.

Sire Duff Napoleon 232 & Full Sib Blairswest Erica 1G
• The rancher type bulls - thick, stout, heavy-muscled Density sons with superior feet quality.
• If you’re looking for bulls that are gonna make some unreal replacements, we suggest you take a look at this pair of full brothers.
• Backed by the great Brooking 333 cow that has done wonders for producers around Canada and has an outstanding 141 progeny registered in Canadian Angus Association, I’d say the homework has been done already.
• A pedigree that has two of the Greatest Angus outfits at Brooking Angus Ranch in Radville, SK and Schaff Angus Valley in St. Anthony, SD.

• His dam 102D is a very ultra-bodied, big-boned cow with ideal foot and udder qualities. This mating is one where we couldn’t be more excited for the buyer, as we feel this bull has a long runway ahead of him.
Blairswest Barricade 29M
• Heifer Bull - recommended for heifers.
• Blairswest Barricade 29M is one that keeps growing on us for his overall smoothness, but still offering enough power, with ideal foot and leg structure, and that added look and style.

• We purchased a “pick of the herd flush” In Opportunity Knocks 2.0 from the great people at Wilbar Cattle Company, and I think the Razor 55C daughter, highlighted for her overall body shape and style, superb udder quality, and ideal foot structure, was a fantastic choice.

• Dark cherry red in colour, this bull is smooth-shouldered, but still offers some depth of body while packing it all into a calving ease package. Scott and Calla toured Duff’s in January of 2019 and were very impressed with the calving ease specialist ‘Duff Redblood’ for his awesome-built structure and foot quality, while not lacking rib shape, smoothness and masculinity.
• Red Rainbow Larkaba is one of the first Slowburn daughters to sell in Canada, which was a consignment at the Wheeler Stock Farm Sale in 2022. She’s as dark red as they come, while offering superior length of body, nice feet, and having a nice sweeping ribcage.
Red Blairswest Bear 45M
• 45M is one that checks multiple boxes for us such as power, foot quality, fleshing ability and heavy-haired. We feel he maintains the fundamentals we are looking for here at Blairswest, while also ranking in the top 4% for both WW & YW.
• Olivia 328G is a donor we purchased with the great people at Steen Angus (Dundurn) in the 50th Anniversary of the Red Round-Up in 2022. When searching for a new donor, we were in need of one that offered some serious power, foot structure, added bone, and functional build. She’s checked those boxes with ease, and we feel you will hear her name for years to come around here.

248M’s sire, SVS Betts 808F, needs no introduction and has an impressive 800+ progeny recorded. SVS Betts 808F stamps his progeny and 248M is no exception . . . he is long-sided, big topped, big hipped, impressive in terms of his muscle expression and rib shape. 248M’s dam was purchased out of the R+ dispersal. After raising a bull calf last year that sold through this sale to Twin Creek Stock Farm, and now this Betts bull calf this year, it is my intention to put her into the donor program in 2025. 248M was a member of the 2024 fall show string and made many friends throughout the barn. He will make friends on sale day as well!
241M comes to you with one of the most sought-after pedigrees. SVS Rancher 42H is one of the most popular red bulls in Canada with incredible cow power. Combine that with RF Sheila 023H, a no miss kind of cow that is exceptional in terms of depth of body and shear power. Sheila 023H is well balanced, has an awesome udder and good footed. 241M combines the most desirable traits from both Rancher and Sheila; he is overwhelming in terms of stoutness, bold in his rib shape, big hipped and puts it all together in an attractive package. 241M is an ET calf, out of a package of embryos I purchased from Wallgren Farms. He is a full sib to Double RN’s heifer that sold for $70,000 in Friday Night Lights, and a maternal sib to WF Capital 164L, the $240,000 high selling bull to Double Bar D Farms. 241M was early maturing, is easy doing, and has an exceptional growth curve that is sure to add pounds to your calves at weaning.
Copper Kettle Bankroll
2412M is an ET calf out of a package of embryos I purchased from Double Bar D Farms, who had purchased W/C Bankroll 811D, the high selling bull from Werning Cattle Company. Bankroll 811D is known for the consistency he transmits into his calves. He sires stout hipped, big topped cattle with real world performance in an athletic package. 2412M is exactly that. He is long-spined, neck extension, big hipped, and good footed. 2412’s dam, STF Onyx 451W is overwhelming in terms of shear cow power with a beautiful udder. She is a two-time NAILE champion, with an impressive record number of progeny registered both off her and her dam. Combining Bankroll and Onyx, the result is a calving ease bull that could add extra frame, length and muscle expression.
Copper Kettle Samuel 243M
243M’s dam was purchased out of Double Bar D’s Sharing the Herd sale. She is a bold sprung Man O’ War daughter with an excellent disposition. Samuel has a disposition just like his mama! He is smooth made, balanced in his design, square hipped and combines style with performance. A maternal sib sold in last year’s sale to Northern Lights Livestock.
Copper Kettle Countertime 2411M
2411’s dam was purchased out of the R+ dispersal and goes back to the well known R Plus 5015C bull. Mated to KCC1 Countertime 872H, a bull whose sons are consistent in their kind for performance, muscle and look, the result is 2411M. A bull that is hairy, good footed and gives you that look, just like his sire. He can be used on both heifers and cows and might even add a little chrome!
