29TH ANNUAL BULL & FEMALE SALE
MARCH 13 2024
1:00 PM AT THE FARM DUNDURN SK
REGISTERED ANGUS SINCE 1963
WELCOME
Welcome to the 29th Edition of the Tools of the Trade Bull and Female Sale! I know it’s cliché to say “this is our best group to date”, but I guess the whole idea is that should be true. Every year, we spend time researching genetics and analysing our cow herd to create a better product for our customers. Recently, we toured a respected cattleman who has been through our herd several times and he commented on the quality of our young cows, noting that he could see our efforts coming to be. It was pretty high praise and encouraged us that we have been on the right path. Based on our recent bull sales, we trust that our valued customers share the sentiment. We have been overwhelmed with gratitude for the support we have received over the past 28 years of sales. Thank you seems a bit inadequate, but, thank you very much. For the past number of years, we have been battling the same dry conditions as most western Canadian cattlemen. It’s forced us to eliminate inefficiencies, be extra tough on our cows and cull ruthlessly on the bull and replacement pen. Perhaps the silver lining will be the strengthened state of our breeding program but we can’t wait for the thunderstorm lottery to be over and see a regular rain pattern return!
In the black pen, you’ll see some new sires represented in Stamina, Robust & 4Real as well as the return of Custom Made, Rainman and the final natural calf crop of South Point. The group is consistently soft made, hairy and sound footed with enough variance on calving ease and performance to meet your specific needs. The Reds are packing a punch of outcross genetics combined with the same bone, hair and soundness we expect in the black pen. The foot quality of this group is exceptional across all sire groups. The Highlights rival the quality of the great Hennessey that headlined our sale last year. Red Blood, Precinct & Intuition along with Tempo, Infusion & Gensis show the power that can follow calving ease. The largest sire group is Quarterback packed with maternal quality, calving ease and style. If you’re really looking to move your red program in an interesting direction, be sure to take note of the red carriers that are bringing breed greats like South Point, Executive Decision and Black Ink one step closer to a red hide. No gene editing here – just plain, old fashioned breeding and patience. As in past years, the bulls have been developed on a forage based diet 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 sire 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. Coffee’s always on, beer’s always cold. We look forward to seeing you sale day. The bulls will be on display at 10 am and lunch is at 11:30. If you are unable to join us in person, DLMS will be broadcasting the sale and any of our awesome sale staff can help you out on the phone. Thank you,

FROM THE DESK OF T BAR C
Welcome to the “Tools of the Trade” Bull and Female Sale, on March 13, 2024, at the Farm, Dundurn, Saskatchewan. Wilbar was established in 1963 and this spring host their 29th bull sale… quite a track record for this multi-generational family who are dedicated leaders in the livestock industry. It is the decades of building and breeding that make their offering of bulls so uniform and consistent… but credit needs to go to the wonderful cow herd running in their pastures. With every bull in the lineup goes high maternal values, an important factor as half your calf crop is female. Whether it be Black or Red, yearling or two-year-old, selecting your new herd improver will not be very difficult as this is the most outstanding group of bulls they have ever presented. Impressive in eye appeal and style, the bulls are packed with muscle and capacity and carry balanced numbers. They are optimal in birth weight yet have powerful performance data that will assure you of higher weaning weights come roundup time. Over the past year or two, females have become a very valuable asset… do not hold back on the commercial heifers selling, they carry that Wilbar degree of quality and will be valuable property wherever they go. Feel free to stop by the farm prior to the sale to preview the bulls and see the mothers and sires or just give Bryan or Tracey a call to discuss the bulls and which will suit your breeding intensions. Plan to be with us on March 13th in person, on the phone or online to acquire your new tools for breeding…it will be well worth the trip. Do not hesitate to give any of us at T Bar a call as we can assist you with your purchases in a professional and confidential manner.

Whistle Blower 318L was our number 1 indexing bull at weaning with a ratio of 118. We love his massive, muscular build. He’s very good footed and comes from a next to perfect uddered Mayflower daughter. The dam 722G, is no stranger to raising big volumed performance cattle. Her previous calf was also the high indexing bull of his calf crop with a ratio of 118 and her heifer calf the year before is the dam of Lot 17 in this sale. So as you can see, the proof of this cow’s greatness, is in her production. As a side note, she is also easy to look at! Sale feature.

We are very excited to debut this bull. He combines so many good things including depth & length of body, superior foot quality, true angus character head and an incredible amount of presence and style. In addition to the ideal phenotype, this bull has a dam that you’d be keen to have a whole herd of. She is much like her son, big middled, a proud look with her neck coming out high on her shoulder and a gorgeous udder which is definitely a consistent trait of the FF Countdown D9 daughters. 721G has a $13,000 son working at Bench Farming and is a 3/4 brother to the $26,000 heifer calf selected by Murray Ranches at Opportunity Knocks 4.0. This bull is somewhat of an outcross to the mainstream pedigrees currently being used within the breed. We feel he will have a very positive impact not only in our herd but the cattle industry as a whole. I told Tracey we can’t keep them all so she settled on retaining 50% semen interest.

Here is a very trait balanced bull that could work in either the heifer pen or your favourite group of cows. We like how smooth made this bull is while still having plenty of thickness and depth of quarter. His dam always comes up in conversation on pasture tours. She is easy to spot with her big volumed, wedge shaped structure. She is one of our last Unforgiven daughters in production. Unforgiven was a maternal brother to the famous Natural Law bull that is still so popular today. Sons of this great cow have sold to Dwajo Angus, Lost River Farming, Bench Farming and Eagle Creek Colony. 3 daughters have been retained in our herd.

These cows have become the nucleus of our current cow herd. 361L indexed 110 at weaning. He is big topped with a real proud herd bull look. Keep every daughter you can out of this bull.

These two flush mates out of Owen’s Ruby/South point donor are like peas in a pod. They are super long bodied, smooth made through the shoulder and nice headed. Robust is a new pedigree we wanted to try. He comes from the highly regarded Bill Conley herd in Missouri, a program we’ve been following for a number of years. The dam of these two bulls had a very successful show career for Owen and has now matured into a very productive cow that can not only produce the good ones but looks good doing it. She hails from the famed Ruby cow family, responsible for HF Kodiak 5R.

If you are looking to soften your cattle up, perhaps add some fleshing ability and body substance, here’s your next herd bull. You can’t walk past this bull without stopping and saying WOW! These 4 Real progeny can keep flesh on in the toughest of conditions. The first daughters at Wilbar have calved and all we can say is we wish we had more. They have the same look as their brothers, tons of volume and good udders. The dam of 326L is a big bodied Stunner daughter from Riverfront Angus with great udder quality. She has a daughter working for Emma Griffin, Griffin Ranch Ltd.

Wilbar Emboss 403L is a standout breeding piece. Stout, big ribbed, wide topped with a real herd bull presence. The foot quality on these Custom Made sons is ideal. When you dig deeper behind this bull you’ll find a cow family that has stood the test of time at Wilbar. The Mayflowers are some of our best and no doubt the 409E cow ranks near the very top of our breeding achievements. She is the ideal Angus cow in our minds and has proven it in her production. 409E is an CAA elite dam indexing 118 on her last 5 calves. Sons have sold to Bar D Farm, Impact Ag Ventures, Lost River Farming, Flavel Gleann Farms, and last years $19,000 high seller to Bear Creek Angus. Another son, Wilbar Juncture 45J was the 2022 Canadian Angus Show Bull of the Year and now works herd bull duty here at Wilbar. Only one daughter has ever been sold and was a $16,000 sale feature in the Opportunity Knocks 3.0 sale to Ter-Ron Farms. If you are looking for the most proven genetics Wilbar can offer, consider Emboss 403L.

When we acquired Custom Made we felt he could bolster some growth and performance without sacrificing the good maternal traits the Angus breed is known for. We feel he hit a home run in our cow herd with his in-demand sons and his daughters in production. The dam of 389L is one of our favorite Rewind daughters, hard to fault, beautiful udder with loads of capacity. Feature cow bull.

This will be the first son to sell out of our 2022 $19,000 high selling bull Wilbar Milestone 48J. We sampled Milestone last year and are very pleased with his first calf crop. They are born with moderate birth weights and mature into soft, stylish, balanced cattle. A daughter was featured in the Opportunity Knocks 4.0 sale last fall bringing $15,000 to Murray Ranches. 303L weaned off his first calf South Point dam at 776 lbs indexing 114. She is a daughter of Wilbar Mayflower 722G, the dam of Lot 1 also selling in the sale.

Rainman 341L is a very stout made individual that should get a lot of looks sale day. As bold as he is through his rib and hip, he blends smoothly into a very attractive front end. This bull is a perfect example of the muscle and payweight that Rainman can add to a calf crop along with the productivity of South Point daughters. The dam of this bull is very nice uddered with a weaning ratio of 105 on her first 2 calves.

LOT 19 This is a big, powerful bull full of growth and top. He has an ideal structured foot with lots of heel and straight toes.

His dam has been a stellar producer with 2 daughters working at Cleveland Angus, one here at Wilbar and a son selling to Steve Doig.

If you like big-middled cattle with loads of depth then this might be the bull for you. Again stemming from our productive Mayflower cow family, this bull has been one of the popular South Point sons in the bull pen. He moves with a very proud, athletic look. His dam is a moderate framed, easy keeping EF Commando daughter that definitely pays her way through production. She has 2 daughters in service at Wilbar.

Wilbar Southern Comfort 365L is an attention grabber in the bull pen. He has the super stud look every time he stops. Up headed, wide based with an incredible amount of depth. He is a full brother to the popular “Emmy” heifer Ryder Wildman showed with great success in the summer of 2022, winning banners at almost every junior show he went to. This bull is highly recommended to add thickness, hair and performance to his progeny. His granddam, Baldco Emulota 964 has been a popular donor cow for us.

It seems like every year there’s a bull whose picture doesn’t do him justice. For 2024, Lot 26 is that guy. Be sure to find him the pen. He is a full brother to Owen’s 851H donor cow and is extra long-spined, hairy and wide based. He’ll amp up the performance and look in his calves. 343L indexed #1 in his group at weaning. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better footed cow than his donor dam, 722C. She was an Elite dam indexing 107 on 4 calves. A maternal brother sold to Brent Porter.
When developing the yearling and two-year-old bulls it is important that rumen health stays a priority throughout every stage of the bull’s development. The bulls are slowly developed on a high protein, package to enhance the bull’s immunity and complement the bull’s health and longevity of the sale bulls on offer, as well as the
overall health. free to contact me.
Best of luck to the Wilbar crew on sale day!

A definite sale feature for various reasons. First and foremost - phenotype. Deep, stout, wide based, cool style and great skull shape. Secondly - the cows in his pedigree. His dam is a Mayflower, arguably one of the most productive cow families we’ve had in 60 + years of raising Angus seedstock. His granddam, 605F was recently an $18,000 feature cow in the Anchorage Herd Reduction Sale last December. On Point’s dam Blockana 357X is one of our most treasured red donor cows with multiple direct daughters in production across Canada and the US. Thirdly - He’s a Red Gene Carrier!

On Point 542L is an interesting individual. He is a result of our quest for outcross red genetics. This bull combines some of our more current success sires in the black bull pen with our absolute best red cow families. South Point and Executive Decision but one step closer to a red hided animal, pretty exciting from a red breeder’s perspective. The dam, 517G is a 3rd generation donor cow that anchors our Black/ Red division. Have a close look Red Breeders. Red Gene Carrier. Owned with Garry Thiessen

LOT 31 What a powerful sire group. On Point has done an impressive job on his first calf crop. His progeny have the same look as his famous sire, Conley South Point 8362, the International Champion Bull. Loads of style, presence with manageable birth weights and balanced performance. This stud comes from a great looking cow who goes back to the popular Natural Law son, PM Executive Decision and the Wilbar Doll 266E cow who happens to be the dam of the $22,000 Red Wilbar Motivation 686H bull at BCR in Texas.

What a cool made bull this is. Packed full of muscle and balance. Executive Decision has worked so well on our black cows we thought, why not infuse his genetics into one of our most productive red cow families. Blockana 357X is a cow that honestly just gets better and better as she ages. She has been a factory for producing front pasture kind of females. We think this bull has a lot to offer in terms of volume, foot structure and breed leading maternal lineage. Red Carrier.

LOT 33 We were planning on this bull being red but not every plan totally works out. Regardless of color, we can’t deny the consistency of the Infusion sired bulls.

She has multiple generations of picture perfect udders and big bodied females in her background. We have one red daughter in production. She is the dam of Lot 58 in this sale. Red Gene Carrier

Highlight definitely stamps his sons with expressive muscle and a real herd bull look. The dam is a dark red, ideal uddered cow that comes with a neat pedigree of outcross black genetics along with proven red bulls. If you dig far enough back you’ll find the grandmother of HF Kodiak 5R, Wilbar Ruby 161J. Basin EXT and the good old Redman bull are back there too.

Integration is a bull we feel has as much potential as any to be a great one. We strive for balanced trait genetics and feel he is exactly that. He has a wide based stance, expansive shaped rib that ties into a very proud up headed Herd Bull look. Blood red in color and ideal in foot structure, Integration could be our favorite out of the 3 flush mates we’ve calved. After sampling his full brothers - the $32,000 Intuition 832J at L83 and JK and Precinct 800J whom we walked ourselves, we are confident the impact this bull will make on your program will be a positive one. His dam was possibly one of the most phenotypically perfect females we have ever raised. Unfortunately, she had an untimely death at a young age which make these genetics even more intriguing.

We sure like the job Precinct did. He never got much of a chance to service many cows as we were over stocked with herd bulls at the time. His progeny are what we expected: easy doing, stout, muscular bulls and feminine fronted, capacious daughters. The 595L bull is out of a big bodied heifer we purchased from the good cattlemen at Allison Farms. She had a 105 index on her first effort at motherhood. This bull has a lot of look and shape combined with a powerful dam. Considering his age, he is one of the more powerful bulls in the pen.

LOT 40 This is a bull we sure like in terms of his soft look, easy doing and good muscle shape. He was right on the bubble age wise as to whether we’d hold him over till next year. He fits right in with the older bulls. This bull comes from a tanky 3-year-old Element daughter that is a standout from a udder and structure angle. The Element daughters have some of the nicest udders on the ranch, red or black.

On a cloudy day you might mistake this bull as black. Who doesn’t like a deep dark red bull? This is our first taste of what our $32,000 Wilbar Intuition 832J bull can do. Although it was a small sampling, the results were huge. He consistently sires the dark red color. His calves were born with manageable birth weights and grew very well for all being out of first calf heifers. You’ll see a lot more next year. The dam of 507L is a Motivate out of the dam of Crackerjack 73F, Franchise 604H and Eminence 91K. Genetics that have been in the limelight before.

Last time I checked, we still get paid by the pound when we sell our calves. This herd bull will add pounds to your calf crop with base width, rib, capacity and muscle. Indexing 110 at weaning this bull hasn’t slowed down. He is massive bodied. His big, capacious made dam offers some outcross to the red scene, dating back to the famous female producing Leachman Right Time.
44
LOT 44 Here is a unique herd bull prospect. Beyond his deep cherry red color, massive rib shape and explosive hip, he is somewhat an outcross to many pedigrees in the red gene pool. His sire is the $22,000 Wilbar Infusion 814J bull that is working for Rohrich Cutting Edge Ranch. He is sired by Duff Black Ink who is by the great Duff Honcho bull. Infusion’s dam is a granddaughter of the black bull Barstow Cash. As you can see, our focus is to offer you genetics that are outcross to the mainstream Red Angus pedigree. The dam of 501L is a broody PIE Specialist daughter with 2 females in production at Wilbar. They are very productive cows with lots of body and substance.

No doubt a sale feature. This is a bull we’ve had our eye on from a young age. He’s so attractive patterned and balanced. Foot structure is a 10 out of 10. He’s dark red and hairy. Once again a Motivate daughter is responsible for a great one. She is moderate framed with a real wedge shaped look to her. If we were looking for a bull to possibly campaign at the major fall shows, this guy definitely get some consideration. Lot 45, a bull that is definitely worth the price of admission on sale day.

The only son of the $21,000 Wilbar Crackerjack 73F bull we have this year. Progeny calve easy, are soft made, big volume type cattle. He can certainly put a good foot on his calves as well. Daughters are powerful cows that have great udder quality and wean heavy calves. 513L has one of our older more proven cows for a dam. She is CAA Elite with progeny indexing 110 at weaning. Sons have sold to Chris Nidesh, Rock Point Angus, and Andy Neiderer. Daughters are in production at Cleveland Angus and Six Mile Ranch.

A growthy, bigger framed bull to use on some larger scaled cows. Wilbar Tempo is a sire we plan on utilizing a lot more in the future. We consider him a foot improver. He has calved successfully on both cows and heifers and his first daughters in production have great udders. The dam of this bull is from our very productive Brndina cow family. Sons have sold to Sentes Farms, W2 Farms and a daughter was featured in the Opportunity Knocks sale selling for $15,000 to Ter-Ron Farms.

Two powerful, big bodied, big scrotal bulls. They are flush mates out of the $77,000 Genesis bull. Genesis progeny are easy fleshing and sound footed. These two come with moderated enough birth weights they could likely be used on some bigger heifers or turned out with the mature cows. The dam is a massive bodied 4 Aces daughter that we sure admire for her volume and udder quality.

A very balanced made calving ease bull that ranks in the top percentiles of the breed in every calving trait along with very high maternal rankings as well. With a moderate birth weight of just 67 lbs this bull then turned on the jets to index 108 at weaning. No small feat for a first calf heifer. The Soxro cow family has been a very reliable group of cows that consistently get the job done year after year. Feature heifer bull.

This Quarterback bull is exactly what we hope for from a first calf heifer – arrives unassisted and matures into something that looks like more than just a heifer bull. We love the pattern of this guy - soft made, wide topped and excellent footed. He comes from a first calf Glenfiddich heifer. It’s a toss up as to who has better udders - Glenfiddich or Quarterback daughters. The combination of the two should be awesome.

As many of you know, we show cattle as a promotion of our breeding program. It’s nice to win banners but when it comes down to it, our show cattle have to perform in ranch conditions beyond the show ring. This bull is a perfect example. His dam was a very successful show heifer for our daughter Kylie and has now retired the show ring life for brood cow business. A full sister to 519L is one of our favorite first calf heifers this year. The dam 653H, is a daughter of our top producing donor Blockana 357X. Her flush mates sold have averaged $16,600 to Rohrich Cutting Edge Ranch and Triple L Angus. Two others reside here at Wilbar.

Length is the easiest way to add pounds to your calf crop. This bull is as long as an Edmonton Oilers winning streak. Smooth made through his shoulder, nice skull structure with a very attractive look. His dam is a past high selling cow at Red Roundup where we sold a 1/2 interest in her for a $28,000 valuation to our good friends at Ter-Ron Farms. She is certainly an ideal Red Angus female and one of our favorite donors. 211E is the dam of our Inspiration 510G herd sire along with two sons selling to Matt Olsen and a $16,000 daughter to Hillcrest Farming.

The Quarterback/Coming In Hot mating is definitely one we will repeat. The result has been consistent moderate birth with above average growth. They are the easy-doing type that will withstand harsh conditions, stay sound and fertile. 512L comes from our very productive Brndina cow family that has raised more sale features and high sellers than any other cow family we have. His maternal granddam is a past donor cow and still in production at 13 years of age.

LOT 60 A balance trait bull that can be utilized in various roles. If he was being used on our cows, we’d look to retain as many daughters as we could. Motivate daughters are very productive and practical - low maintenance type cows that quietly get the job done. The dam of this bull is about as proven a cow as we have. Yes, she is a “Y” and still in production. She calved in January. She has multiple daughters in production here including our 517G donor.

AGE ADVANCED BULLS Once again we have a small but elite group of coming two year old bulls on offer. These bulls go through the same culling criteria as the yearlings, the only difference is these boys go through the culling process twice over a two year period. They are not leftovers from the previous year, they are simply the younger cut of the 2022 calf crop. After they are weaned, they are fed a modest growing ration the first winter, then pastured from the beginning of June till mid October. After coming off grass as long yearlings, they are introduced to a high roughage silage/tub ground hay ration with brown oats supplying the energy for the ration along with a bull supplement that tops up the vitamin/mineral requirements of the bulls. These bulls offer calving ease and performance, are out of the same productive cow families as our popular yearlings and are ready to go service some cows. We unfortunately did not get to picture the age advanced bulls this year due to some snow/rain weather, so watch for the videos when they become available - this group is worth the wait.
