Welcome to the 2025 edition of “Spirit of the North” Spring Bull Sale on Monday April 7th, held at Spiritwood Stockyards, Spiritwood, Saskatchewan. This three-breed event has been the source for high quality seedstock bulls for both the purebred breeder and the many commercial cattlemen who have sourced added-value sires. These three breeding operations are situated in the heart of the parkland where they breed, raise and condition bulls that are hardy for the area terrain.
Clevelands Farm supply’s the Angus portion of the offering… two-year-old Angus both red and black. Their program is based on producing and marketing two’s that are backgrounded, then summered on grass to get extra growth potential and soundness. Many are sired by leading proven sires and grandsires, providing fresh out-cross genetics to their many repeat customers. The bulls can cover more cows, bigger cows in all types of terrain and shorten gestation for uniformity. Don’t hesitate to give John or Dallas a call to discuss your breeding options.
Lionel from Cas-Bar is the Charolais supplier. His lineup of two-year-olds, are rugged and high in performance. In past years, Cas-Bar has been a supplier of breeder bulls and many income earning sires in the beef industry. In addition to the twos, he offers a top cut in the yearling pen. We all know and recognise the demand for Charinfluenced feeder calves and that the shortage of Charolais two-year-olds for the big pastures has been evident over the past several years. The Cas-Bar consignment offers a wonderful opportunity whether you are looking for white, tan or red money makers full of performance. In addition, Cas-Bar expanded their horizons and added another breed…Simmental, acquired through Randy’s dispersal last fall. These yearlings are sired by bulls with predictable and proven genetics… genetics that will be recognized by many.
New to “Spirit of the North “are Porter Simmentals… although new to the sale, they are not new to the breed… having been established since 1975. This small but elite program comes to the sale with a powerful lineup of both red and black bulls… bulls that were campaigned on the show-road successfully last fall. The sons of “Betts” will be a feature sale day… don’t overlook the Porter offering.
Feel free to visit any of these breeding operations and preview the bulls, see the mothers or give them a call to discuss your options. 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.
Chris Poley
Welcome to our annual Spirit of the North Bull Sale. Thank you to our past bidders and buyers, and welcome to those who are new. We would also like to welcome our new Simmental consigner, Porter Simmentals. Looking forward to a great sale, and getting to know Mike, Carrie and family.
As always, we only offer and sell two-year old Red and Black Angus Bulls. We find the bulls are able to develop and mature better, so they are ready to work to their full capacity. These bulls can handle more females, plus maintain themselves better. Clevelands Farm is very proud to introduce this group of bulls. You will notice that most of the bulls are from proven AI sires, representing calving ease and performance. We hope that you will find a bull that fits your breeding needs, be it in the heifer pasture or the cows. These bulls have been lightly backgrounded, then put back on grass to encourage further growth and development. They are on an TMR ration, consisting of cereal silage, brown oats, and a mineral package. All bulls will be double vaccinated with Fusogard to help prevent foot rot.
We encourage you to come and preview the bulls ahead of sale day at the ranch or at Spiritwood Stockyards prior to the sale. If you are unable to make it sale day, bidding can be done on DLMS or with T Bar C staff to help with your selection.
On behalf of Clevelands Farm, we would like to thank you for trust and interest in our program. If any questions arise, please feel free to contact John at 306-468-7648 or Dallas at 306-468-7715.

welcome Cas-Bar Farms from
Welcome to the Spirit of the North Annual Bull Sale 2025. It is a great time to own cows, with record setting prices for feeder calves. It is nice to finally get rewarded for all of our hard work and efforts.
Our line of bulls is once again a group we are proud to present. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone. Bulls with calving ease and performance and a few more Red Factor bulls for those of you that want some with color. With the Westroh’s dispersing their Simmental heard last year, we purchased some of their cows to still bring some Simmental genetics to our sale. Our numbers are small, but we promise to provide more in the future as we have purchased additional females as well as embryos to try and supply this void.
We would like to welcome Mike Porter and his family to the sale. They will be consigning a group of Simmental bulls to help fill this spot as well.
All bulls will be semen tested prior to the sale and will come with a veterinary certificate of authenticity.
We encourage you to view the videos of our bulls online at buyagro.com and the Charolais Banner website. Videos give a better look at the bulls as some pictures don’t give a true representation of these bulls and some bulls just aren’t very photo genic! Even better than the pictures and videos, come and inspect the bulls at our farm prior to the sale. Everyone is welcome.
Mark your calendars, we will be having our Customer Appreciation Open House Saturday March 22, 2025, starting at noon and ending when you decide to go home. We provide excellent food and beverage and Rancher socializing for the whole family. Please come and let us assist you in choosing the bulls that best suit your program. We will make every attempt to make sure you satisfied with your purchase.

Working with the Cas Bar crew on their nutrition program has been a pleasure. I hope you can make it in person to see this elite set of Charolais bulls.
The cowherd utilizes a mineral program that is balanced to the cow’s requirements and feed sources. This supports proper bull calf health and development from a young age. The bull development program is built to maximize forage utilization and gut health. All forages are sampled and analyzed to ensure quality feed sources are used. Cas Bar utilizes a protein supplement to ensure the bulls daily diet is promoting lean muscle growth, allowing the bulls to express their genetic potential. Rumen health is of upmost importance, which is why suitable protein sources and proper starch levels are fed to the bulls.
Cas Bar Farms uses a total nutrition program on their entire operation, ensuring optimal performance and health of their cattle. If you have any questions about the nutrition of the sale bulls, please feel free to call.
Best of luck on sale day!

strong Two-Year-Old Bulls starting off
Most of our 2-year-olds are sired by our walking bulls. Bulls sired by CBF Old Fashion 911G were off of 1st calf heifers. We sold 911G in our 2021 sale to Saunders Charolais of Markdale ON, but we continue to use him through AI on our heifers. He is a calving ease sire and provides an outstanding hair coat and his daughters are proving to be great females. Bulls sired by CBF Powerplay 11H are just that, bulls with a little more frame and performance to be used on cows He provides extra muscle and also a great hair coat. CBF All In 108J was used in our heifer pen, he was our high selling bull in our 2022 sale and we thought so much of this bull we bought ½ back.

welcome Porter Simmentals from
On behalf of Porter Simmentals, welcome to The Spirit of the North Bull Sale. While we are new to this sale, we are not new to the Simmental breed. Gerald and Barb Porter started the herd in 1975. They sold bulls off the farm to many repeat customers over the years. As my family and I transition to more involvement with the cattle operation, we have added some new genetics to the original herd. From AI, embryo transfer, and selecting some foundation type females we are constantly striving to improve. Our focus remains the same, and continuing with the original cowherd, a herd that was built on easy doing, structural correctness, longevity and docile temperament simmental cows. Gerald and Barb raised a cowherd based on this criteria. Although our offering maybe small in numbers, we are proud of the quality of bulls we have to offer. Moving forward we look to grow our offering. We are committed to The Spirit of the North Bull Sale and committed to bring our best to this sale for years to come. Our bulls are weaned and then developed on a hand fed pellet bull developer ration and dry hay. They are developed to grow and are not over conditioned. All bulls are tie broke. Lastly, thanks to Casbar Farms, and Clevelands Farm for inviting us to be a part of this sale. Please call if you have any questions or feel free to stop by the farm to view the bulls and their momma cows. We look forward to seeing everyone in Spiritwood. It’s a very exciting time at Porter Simmentals and a real exciting time to be in the cattle business.

Mike Porter
1L is sired by calving ease bull, WLB Top Tier 456G. His dam is a R Plus Yuma daughter whom we purchased from Labatte Simmentals. Top Gun was part of our show string in the fall 2023. We retained him to use in our herd last year and his first calves have hit the ground. They come easy and are vigorous at birth. He is long spined, moves well and has a quiet disposition. Cowboys, if you want a bull that is ready to cover a lot of cows this spring, this proven 2 year old is ready to do that. 1L is halter broke.
Homo Polled, Hetero Black. 45 cm Scrotal.

A dark cherry red betts son out of one of my favourite cows. She comes rite from the heart of Gerald and Barb’s herd and is exactly the type that we strive to raise. I believe good bulls come from strong mother cows and this one ranks right at the top. Betts has been known to sire some amazing females, and with the maternal strength from 18G, I believe 5M has potential to sire some great replacements. 5M has a great disposition and is tie broke. Homo Polled. 42 cm Scrotal.
Dam of 5M Udder GFP Mr Betts
7M is another bull with a real solid cow behind him. I really like the Betts cattle. They are good haired, moderate framed, functional type of cattle. His dam, GFP 17Z is a consistent producer and still going strong, calving again in January this year. Proven longevity in his pedigree, that is a trait we admire and one that I believe is undervalued in the beef industry. Raise steers for the market or heifers in the replacement pen, this

A younger March born Betts calf, whose dam, 12J, is one of the best we have raised. She had a very successful show career as a bred heifer, and still attracts attention from anyone that tours the pasture. Her first calf was retained in herd.18M has a great hair coat, muscle shape, and smooth front end make him a very attractive package. With a maternal background of 12J and ACPA 7A in his pedigree, you are gonna want to keep every female off this guy. 18M is tie broke. Polled. 41 cm Scrotal.
A Betts son in a black version. Johnny was part of our show pen this past fall, exhibited at both Manitoba Ag Ex and Agribition. Long bodied, performance, muscle shape and a very smooth shoulder and extended front end. Out of GFP 18F. A direct daughter of X-T Red Turbo 87Y. A lot of our cows you will see go back to 87Y, as he was very influential in our program. A little more birthweight than what we usually sell, but I believe he is shaped right, and would be suitable on mature cows. I can remember the day he was born, he was the strongest, most vigorous calf I have seen. We know that pounds pay and if you want to add pounds to your weaning weights, this bull is for

Charolais
The Percentage Calving Chart
1. An average cow of any breed should be able to calve 7% of her body weight.
2. Most Charolais and Simmental cows will weigh between 1400-1800 lb., expected calf weight to range from 98 to 126 lb.
3. Most Red Angus and Black Angus cows will weigh between 1200-1600 lb., expected calf weight range 84 to 112 lb.
4 Calving ease is more important than birth weight because a longer sided calf may calve easy, but the birth weight is higher.
(see 7% Calving Chart below)
Birth Weight
& Calving Ease
University studies in Wyoming and data from Montana and Colorado lend credence to the following conclusion:
1. The birth weight itself influences calving ease by 65%
2. The female has 60-70% influence on birth weight of her calf.
3. The bull has 30-40% influence on birth weight of his progeny.
4. Pelvic measurement and angle as well as the shape of the calf have 35-40% influence on calving ease.
5. Length of gestation greatly affects birth weight. A fetus can gain over one pound per day in the last days of gestation.
6. Weather and temperature the last 30 days affect the length of gestation.
7. Size and maturity of cow influence calving ease.
