Happy New Year!! I was kinda hopin’ for a heat wave to start out the new year.....boy do I wish I would have kept my darn mouth shut!! I think I heard somewhere that they are filming the sequel to Frozen... starring every farmer on the prairies! Coming soon to a waterbowl near you! Christmas was good, we escaped the nasty flu bug that was floating around...some were not so fortunate... just think, finally a year where you lost a few pounds instead of gaining a turkey belly! The man in the big red suit dropped a load in our living room once again....even the little missus got a new toy...... it’s called an Instant Pot..... pretty cool gadget, but apparently it’s not magic, it doesn’t plan the meals and put them in there itself....back to the drawing board elves..... On the news front...We send our condolences to the Stewart family, Pipestone, MB on the passing of Charlie... our thoughts are with you....Get well wishes to Jeff McRuer as he is laid up with a broken leg... hope you’re on the mend soon! Remember the little Erixon boys we talked about last issue... well, they made it home and boy are they cute! Details on the next page. Lots of news buzzing around, but too soon to let the cat out of the bag just yet, you’ll have to tune in next time.... As we embark on bull sale season, my favorite time of the year, the demand for good Simmental bulls is as strong as ever....the proof is in the pudding..... as you may have noticed, this is the biggest issue we have put together in....uh, well acutally, EVER! A huge thank you to our customers, without you, we couldn’t do this.....your support is greatly appreciated and we wish you all the best of luck at your sales..... ooh I’m getting excited..... I’ll leave it at that for now...... for the next issue we recommend that you book early and don’t delay in sending your details.....the boss gets a little cranky when things get rushed....you’ve been forewarned..... see you somewhere down the sale trail......stay warm..... John

McCarthy Inducted Into CSA Hall Of Fame

Brian McCarthy grew up on his family’s farm near Moosomin, Saskatchewan. His parents had a mixed farming operation with commercial Hereford cattle. He was the oldest son with one other brother and two sisters. From a young age he had a keen interest in cattle and breeding programs. Brian married Sharon Gall in October of 1979. They had two sons and a daughter. The children all received University degrees and are all doing well in their chosen fields outside of Agriculture. Brian and Sharon have two grandsons and a granddaughter. CSA President, Lee McMillen presenting Brian McCarthy with Brian realized that their commercial cattle his Award at the 50th Anniversary Banquet held in conjunction of the day needed more milk and performance. with Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, SK. Simmental cattle were being imported in the early 1970’s and seemed to cross very well with the Herefords of the day. He decided he wanted to be a part of all this excitement! Brian has been involved in the Simmental community since the 1970’s. He has judged many Simmental shows in most Canadian provinces and also was involved in many local and regional 4-H shows. Spring Creek Simmentals has consigned cattle to many sales and has also purchased cattle at a number of sales. They have shown cattle at Agribition and Manitoba Ag Ex through the 1980’s and 1990’s. A highlight for him was winning “Premier Breeder” and “Premier Exhibitor” awards for consecutive years at the Canadian Western Agribition. Brian has sat on a number of boards over the years. He was a part of the Crossroads Simmental Association for many years as a director including a term as President. He was on the Saskatchewan Simmental Association board as a director for six years, as well as the Canadian Simmental Association board as a director for six years, with two as being President. He also sat on the Saskatchewan Beef Cattle Performance Testing Association, Regina Bull Sale Committee, Agribition International and Commercial Cattle Committees, Moosomin Curling Club, Recreation Board and Golf Club. Spring Creek Simmental’s herd has evolved from the traditional purebred with a Fleckvieh influence to one that is solid colored, red and black purebreds. They have developed a successful on farm bull sale. They have proudly placed herd bulls into many of Canada’s elite breeding establishments. They also have a yearly female sale, where the cattle are eagerly sought after. They have also developed a purebred Black Angus herd to complement their Simmentals and to offer a wider range of genetics to their customers. Spring Creek cattle have received many ribbons and banners over the years, but the most gratification comes from having genetics that are highly sought after and are contributing too many top notch commercial and purebred operations.

2017 Saskatchewan Simmental Association Purebred Breeder Of The Year

Black Gold Simmental is family farm operated by the Noble families in the Hillmond area northeast of Lloydminster. Our Mom and Dad were interested in raising top quality cattle and in 1973 they purchased two 1/2 blood heifers from the Agribition sale, which was the start of our Purebred herd. We had many influencers and mentors over the years, such as the Harlands of Little Willow Creek Ranch, Stanley Palmer, who was our partner in many sales and the Mapletoft Family of Little Pipestone Ranch. In my early years I showed cattle with Frank and learned a lot about having fun. We are passionate about Simmental cattle and enjoy raising fullbloods and purebreds, red & black. We are encouraged by the number of young people that are interested in cattle and our Simmental breed. It is the younger generation of our Noble family that is motivating us to be active in the Purebred business. One never thinks about winning these types of awards and we are humbled.

2017 Saskatchewan Simmental Association Commercial Producer Of The Year

Congratulations to Spring Creek Ranch, The Hofers, who were awarded the 2017 SSA Commercial Producer of the Year.

Congratulations to Rancier Farms, Killam, AB on taking home the title of Premier Breeder at the 2017 Canadian Western Agribition 50th Anniversary Simmental Show, held in Regina, SK in November.

Keystone Simmental Association Commercial Producer Of The Year

Routledge Stock Farms is a grain, cattle, and custom feedlot operation located near Lenore, Manitoba. It is run by Chris and his wife Charlene and their 2 children Owen and Avery. They have 2100 acres of grain land, feed 1500 head of cattle in their feedlot, and calve 170 cows. They have been using Simmental bulls in their breeding program for over 20 years. They like using Simmental bulls for their growth, easy fleshing, and terrific maternal traits. They have noticed that Simmental cross calves in the feedlot convert and gain on a consistent basis from backgrounding to finishing.

A.O Henuset/Simmental Ambassador Award

Dad & Mom’s (Wayne and Joan Carson) journey into the Simmental breed began in the late 1970’s. They had a small purebred Shorthorn herd and Shorthorn influenced commercial cows. Dad purchased KMR Elegance 703J at a sale along with a cow calf pair. He continued to buy Simmental bulls going forward. Initially they stayed commercial and crossed the new Simmental bulls on their Shorthorn based herd. They made some super mother cows! As his children, Brad, Neil, Keith and Tracy grew up and started into 4-H, the annual trips to the fall sales began to buy show heifers for the kids. Dad also purchased a few for himself and that was the basis for the start of the purbred herd, which initially went by WBNK Left to right- Cody, Neil, Carly-Jo & Denise Carson. Simmentals. It was at Barry & Linda Oakes dispersal sale, which took place in 1985, where he had gone to buy a couple of 4-H heifers, when he got a tap on the shoulder during the auction from Norm Hemstead, and along with Keith Kyle, Northern Light Simmentals was formed that day and they purchased Double Bar D Magnum along with a few cows. Over the next several years, many more cows were purchased and the herd was expanded. Eventually dad bought out the partnership and continued with the name Northern Light Simmentals. Dad served on both the Manitoba Simmental Association Board of Directors (10 years) and the Canadian Simmental Association Board of Directors (6 years) and enjoyed the interaction and making new friends, from coast to coast. He sold bulls out of the yard privately and throught the Manitoba and Roblin Bull Test Stations initially. The Brandon Bull Sale became a regular fixture for many years and in the 1980’s he also sold bulls with Windy Acres at the Strathclair Auction Mart. At the time of his passing, he had consigned bulls to Transcon’s Cattle County Simmental Sale held in Neepawa. Females were marketed initially through the Investment Time Sale, which was held in Brandon (consignors initially were Henuset’s, Arrow Creek, Keywest, & Twenty Three Oaks) and later the West Central Sale, held in Shoal Lake, and also privately out of the yard. For much of the 1980’s dad would put together packages of 40-50 half and three-quarter blood breds each fall, which sold quickly. Several trips west in the late 80’s and early 90’s resulted in a gradual switch to Fleckvieh based genetics. The purchase of MRLN Rogar had the biggest influence on the Northern Light herd, as over 90% of the herd had him at least once in their pedigree. In his later years, he also added a black division which was heavily Fleckvieh influenced. Over the years, cattle were shown at various shows, including Ag-Ex, the Royal Winter Fair and Agribition. A highlight was having the Grand Champion Female, CARS Miss Delilah 18D, at Agribition in 1999. After Dad’s passing in 2012, Mom (Joan) dispersed the herd, but I (Neil), along with my wife Denise, son Cody, and daughter Carly-Jo, continue to use the Northern Light name. I served for many years on the Manitoba Simmental Association Board of Directors and was President for 10 of those years. Cody and Carly-Jo are now getting involved as third generation Simmental breeders and show at many summer shows throughout the province and at Ag-Ex in the fall. Cody is following in his dad’s footsteps as he was just recently nominated the VIce-President of the Manitoba Young Canadian Simmental Board of Directors. Today, Northern Light Simmentals continue to breed reds, blacks, and traditionals, currently selling 40-50 bulls a year; half are consigned to the Premium Beef Bull Sale, held in Neepawa, and the other half are available by private treaty. We sell dozens of females at the Harvest Hoedown Sale, also in Neepawa, which mostly consist of bred females. We also sell a few heifer calves every year at the Keystone Konnection Sale in Brandon. We are very honoured to be nominated for this prestigious award and accept it with great pride. Northern Light Simmentals will proudly continue to support the Simmental breed for years to come. Thank you.

Asher Inducted Into CSA Hall Of Fame As the Simmental breed celebrates the 50th anniversary of the breed in Canada we need to remember the early importers and breeders that started it all and made it strong. One of those breeders was Jim and Agnes Asher of Bar A Simmentals. Jim was the herdsman at Lacombe Research Station where 12 head were imported into Canada in the spring of 1967. The four bulls were Pacific, Petunia, Quadrille and Quartier and 8 heifers. The breeding program resulted in Adonis ,Achilles and Ajax. Jim retired in 1970 and moved back to Saskatchewan to start a small herd of Simmentals in Grandora. He was able to import 2 head in the first years with the resulting heifer quite literally paying for the farm. Back in 1974, $45,000 was a lot of money. Over the years they built a successful SimmenDonna Asher accepts this award on her paretns’ behalf. tal herd and were always strong supporters of the “best CSA President, Lee McMillen (left) presenting. breed in Canada”. Starting with Fullblood cattle over the years the herd has switched to red & black purebred s with Jim never being a big supporter of anything but Fullbloods. When showing Agnes recent pictures of the herd, she’d always say “those don’t look like the Simmentals I know”. Jim passed away in 2000 at 91 years still asking about the cows and Agnes passed away in 2017 at 102 years. Bar A Simmentals and the Asher name continues to be associated with the Simmental breed with daughter Donna Marie Asher, her husband Mike Millar and son Wyatt raising Simmentals with their motto “Quality over Quantity”. This year Wyatt is President of the Canadian YCSA in 2018 and continues to build his herd and the Bar A Simmental name. Jim & Agnes Asher would be proud!
