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
That time of year again, eh? Well, its great to see you! Thank you for your interest and support of our program and welcome to our 2023 edition of the annual “Best of the Breeds” bull sale.
The bulls that we have on offer are a consistent group backed by proven genetics and a cow herd built with an emphasis on fertility, sound udder structure, and good feet. We pail feed a balanced bull developer ration to ensure responsible development and longevity with access to free choice hay, mineral, and water. The weights provided are actuals with WW taken early in the fall on August 20 and YW taken on February 3.
We would love to see you on sale day, but if you are not comfortable attending the sale in person, for whatever reason, please stop by the farm in advance or give one of us a call if you have any questions. We encourage you to check out our website at www.twinheritage.com for viewing of the bull sale videos. While there, please check out a new and exciting venture with the addition of our Simmental herd. Also, head over to DLMS.com if you have not already signed up to view and bid online.
This is the first set of sons to be sold out of our Helix 635H bull. We are extremely impressed with how easy the Helix calves were born and how the bulls have developed. The sons have calving ease appeal with moderate BW, length, and style. Helix’s exceptional dam has been a long-time herd matron and donor cow at Wilbar. We expect the Helix 635H daughters to impress with strong maternal traits and tidy even udders. These sons are noted for their balance, length of body, and calving ease appeal.
