#16 Highway, 1.5 miles east of Foam Lake, SK on South side

Every year I sit down to welcome everyone to our upcoming sale the end of March and I am always wondering what to say. I think this year I want to start with a heartfelt Thank You to all of last year’s customers and friends who purchased bulls or females from our 25th Anniversary of the Power for the Future Bull and Female sale. We appreciate your ongoing support and welcome to our new purchasers! It was a thrill to place a bull all the way to Nova Scotia and we are so happy that his new owner was happy when he finally made it there following bad weather all the way. We were also blessed to have had our top selling bull go to a herd in Alberta and we are hoping to hear how the new owner of Moe made out, thank you Jade and Steve.

This year’s bulls and females are on track to impress you when you inspect them here in the yard on the 31st. Cameron is excited to welcome one and all to come in person, but if you cannot make it please check us out on line with DLMS. There is a fantastic even group this year and with the great prices we have all been receiving at market, it looks like we can expect it to stay awhile. The demand for beef on the dinner plate is as strong as ever even with the higher prices, so now is the time to look at retaining a few more females next fall to meet the demand for our beef. Also, it might be the perfect time to line up a new herd bull with calving ease and punch and you will find that in our offering this year.

Cameron said he wanted to do some footnotes on the animals this year but true to form it hasn’t happened. So it will again be just the numbers on the bulls and females. I will not have yearling heifer weights till just before sale date but the bulls were submitted and will be in the book. I would say we will put sale feature down on some bulls but this year we are in trouble because Cameron wants to highlight all of them. From feet and leg structure to thickness and length you will find all of it in each and every animal on offer so enjoy the pictures and remember that numbers should be used to make your initial selection, then come and look them over. If you are like Cameron and I, what you highlight can change when you physically look them over. If you can come earlier we can also take you to the Dams and the Sires if you want to.

So till the 31st, may your calves be born unassisted, grow like wildfire and sell at the top of the market when you sell. See you for lunch and sale on the 31st. Cheers!

PS. If you are looking at something we have on of fer please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our sales staff - Ryan Hurlburt, Travis Bygrove, Jim (Shiny)Halberg and Clayton Hawreluik. Cameron and I are available as well and we will do our best to steer you to the bull or female that would best be suited for your respective herds.

RED PACIFIC CHIVAS 66K - This bull we got semen, from Charcoal Creek Angus our friends Kyle and Jessica, whom we met when we delivered two heifers they purchased from our sale a few years back. Chivas comes from Heart of the Valley and goes back to 9 Mile Franchise on his sire’s side. We tried this bull out because I saw him at Kyle and Jessica’s place and thought he would be kind of cool and different for us. Kyle describes this fellow as a smooth shouldered calving ease rascal with a great sized dark foot. He is large scrotal and easy keeping and Kyle is excited to see how his daughters develop as they have beautiful udders on a great foundation. We have lot CPRA 225N and CPRA 247N

RED B-ELLE REVELATION 215K - BJE 215K is a rascal we saw as a coming yearling at Red Round-Up the last year we consigned to that sale. Cameron fell in love with this bull because he was an all around package of eye appeal on a super strong foundation. We had tried him for this year’s sale but we have a few more that are running around on their momma’s this season. These sons of Revelation are born in the mid 80’s range and are worry free, calving calves with loads of length and depth of body. You won’t go wrong on these rascals and Revelation makes herd bulls off of our cows every dang time. CPRA 233N, CPRA 243N

RED

DOUBLE C HANDSOME 18H - is a bull we raised off our Purple cow Rebecca 32C. As a bull calf in the Agribition virtual show in 2020, we saw Handsome be the overall reserve grand champion red angus bull. He is a unique bull that Lonestone Farms sold some pretty fancy 2 year old bulls and though Handsome throws a little more birth weight than some like, we always tell our customers that if they are smooth shouldered and long bodied the extra weight at birth is usually in the length of the calf not the width. Handsome calves are easy calving and perform exceedingly well. This year there are two embryo calves in our sale but they are from different mothers. CPRA 361E, also a Rebecca has a handsome bull calf that is herd bull stamped with that extra length. The second Handsome embryo is off our CPRA 474B cow that we lost to a hip issue and her offering is CPRA 222N and he is a handsome rascal and true to his mother he is in a calving ease supreme package but he is a smaller frame score.

RED GOAD PILSNER 183’21 - I purchased as a supreme heifer bull and he did not let us down but we lost him due to, again fighting for supreme boss position. Our fences just aren’t built to have 2000 lb bulls not respecting their enclosure when at home Pilsner was the attraction of our bred heifer pen a couple years ago when we had hosted the summer tour. You will not go wrong on this boy’s offspring. CPRA 280N and CPRA 293N

Most bulls will be parent verified by sale time. For our commercial buyers it may not be that important for you but to the purebred buyer all the work will be done for you - just go ahead and put your bull out with your registered females!

RED KORU COWBOY CUT 1K- has only 1 bull calf in our sale this year and per usual he has length of body. He is a bull we took a chance on him and bought him as a calf in a late fall dispersal sale. We also purchased his mom to make sure we would have a fully Parent Verified bull to keep and use on our herd. Koru did a great job for us but when we were fed up with bulls fighting over who is boss at the expense of our fences he went to town. We miss him though when he can produce calves like CPRA 275N.

RED DEER RANGE DASH 389H

- We purchased Dash from Travis Olson of Deer Range Farm as a 2 year old wanting a calving ease bull with phenominal feet. Dash had this hands down. Charlene and Sid checked him out for us and he has been our main herd bull and back up herd bull for the last three or 4 years. Dash is a bull to behold, standing on a solid foundation with a dark head making him look almost like a buffalo but he has amazing feet and legs and has never had a lame day in all his time with us. Cameron and I are having many a discussion as to the use of Dash for this coming breeding season. He is just that darn great. He has 8 sons in the sale this year.

RED DOUBLE C LITTLE JOE 184J

- Little Joe was our top seller the year he was a yearling and the people that purchased Little Joe were kind enough to sell him back to us as a 2 year old late in the season. So we got very few calves off of him. He is a beautiful bull - if a bull can be beautiful. He has so much eye appeal and we kept him as a clean up rascal both years we used him. We have kept a couple heifers off of Joe and I am looking forward to how they do in our herd. CPRA 296N and CPRA 307N - these rascals are both sleep through the night calving bulls. You will get dark pigmentation on a dark foot.

RED BLJ LASSO 33L - We were looking for heifer bull with power as our buyers often demand power along with calving ease and this particular year I wanted to make a trip out and see Brent Brewin Angus. We met Brent and Myrna Brewin a few years back when we sold them Diesel 218D and then we were able to buy him back to use ourselves. Diesel was our yard urchin in an oversized package. From this bull we got to know Brent and Myrna and then Janessa their daughter. Brent and Myrna had bought females from us at our reduction sale and yearling heifers in our bull sale so I wanted to go check them out. Janessa showed me the bull pen that year and it was total confusion for me. Like us the Brewin’s look after their commercial cattlemen’s requests and the cow herd and the bull pen that they have put together any one year will make you struggle to keep track of all the good animals they run. This is a no frills cow herd that produces absolutely stunning progeny. We ended up getting Lasso and he has wormed his way in two breeding seasons to be our number 1 herd bull when we have to say Dash is done. I do not have a picture of Lasso but a person really needs to see him in person. I can guarantee you will stand and check him out for quite a while as he just draws the looks. He is long and thick and on a solid foundation. He will be used again on our heifers and he has also earned his place on our top ladies in the main herd. These first calf bulls being offered can stand alongside any of our high performing power animals. What an awesome opportunity for anyone looking for a calving sire with punch.

Thank you...

To Jenna our photographer - thank you for all you have done for us over the years and your suggestion to use Dale Weinbender of Sliding Hills Media this year when you weren’t able to - he had some very big shoes to fill! We have had a blast with a young man I have watched grow up over the years and has done a superb job in photographing and videoing this year’s offering.

To my daughter, Charlene and Ann - thank you for the fabulous job cleaning up the bulls for us this year. To Sid and Olivia the helpers in the picture pen with Dale - thank you for all you did to get the best pictures and videos of our offering this year.

To Carolyn, our catalogue lady that can put our catalogue all together in record time - thank you for putting up with me and always putting a stellar catalogue together for us each and every year.

To Cameron’s brother Angus - for always assisting us with the conversion of calving barn to sale facility, thank you, we couldn’t do it so quickly and efficiently without you.

But the most important people for our sale, are those that attend and purchase a bull(s) and or a heifer from our offering, THANK YOU for purchasing and trusting what we put together in our sale each and every year!

I am sure I am missing some more but for this year all I can say is with all these people in our corner our offering this year will make you speechless with the quality we have put together for you.

THANK YOU for your continued support!

A bull we purchased being carried by his mom from Lonestone Farms. I wanted to purchase a Handsome daughter in calf from Lonie and Karen so this was the boy that resulted from that purchase. He is a Slowburn 102H grandson that is just living up to his name. He is on fire with his performance, so much so that I placed him in his own group because he was so different from the rest of our pen. Slow burn cattle are in big demand in our industry and this purchase with this pedigree was a bonus for us. We contemplated keeping this boy for ourselves but we are hoping by sale day we will have semen frozen in our tank for in herd use. This boy is one smart rascal, he has learned that when we hand feed the bulls their oats and mix pellet he stands at the second trough and can eat unhindered by himself for however long it takes the other bulls to eat the feed in the first trough. We laugh at Night Fire but it has resulted in an over 6lb average daily gain which is unusual but this boy can handle it and then some. He stands on a very correct foundation and just gets stronger as your eyes go up to take in this very masculine, powerful individual. His mom spit him out but Cameron says use him on cows because of his performance which he showed even as a 200lb calf.

The middle of our catalogue is dedicated to family and friends. This year, three years after the passing of my mom Victoria, she came to tell Dad he was coming home to be with her. She came in his dreams, after he had taken a fall in his apartment the end of August. We thought he was just teasing us when he asked us how baba was doing, and that she had been to visit him, along with some of our long-time friends from the North that my sister and I always called aunty and uncle. So, on September 11th Dad went home to be with Mom and all his family that had gone earlier. I went to work and with the help of the RCMP veteran association and the Sheho legion we gave Dad his last wishes that he told me when we were out horseback riding many years back. So, with some veterans and a young constable from Wadena, Dad was given his final farewell with a Red Serge funeral and an escort to his final resting place next to the love of his life our mom, Victoria.

So today I will share some pictures of my hero and my dad all rolled into one. Dad was one week from his 93rd birthday. My Mom and Dad lived an amazing life with Dad’s job with the RCMP.

This year we also welcomed our first grandson, Clay Walker Heuer to the family. Congratulations Charlene & Sid! As with most people, family is the most important part of our everyday life. Hope you enjoy the collage of pictures.

Chance and my Dad had a very special relationship and Dad’s last two weeks were in hospital, with Chance and Charlene visiting often. With Chance came photos of his northern adventures. Dad and Chance compared notes of the places they have both now seen and hunted in. It made for some very special times for Dad while he was in the hospital. To say I miss him would fall extremely short of what I have felt every single day since he left. I just thank God that he allowed Dad to come to me twice while I was preparing his final send off. The little white owl will be forever my sign of my Dad being close.

So, enjoy and take care Dad & Mom we miss you, but we know that you are doing well and till we see you again someday, may your memory be eternal.

Heifer offering is 5 of our top replacement females...

This year’s heifer offering is smaller than usual. With having sold the vast majority of our heifers privately to a young couple Luana and Jason Isaac of Saltcoats, we decided to offer only 5 of the 12 we kept back for our keeper group. These 5 young ladies impressed our photographer and his assistant - Dale came in and says why are you selling these 5, you should be keeping them. To him my response was go look at the rest of the heifers and maybe you will understand. Yup, all are interchangeable , and every dang one of them should be keepers, but what do you do. Our customers expect to see some girls on offer.

What I will say about this year’s offering is everyone was parent verified before the 1st of July last summer so they are raring to go to work for their new owners. With discussions with our new CAA president, Rob Garner, I will be doing the sires and some of the offspring with the Angus 50 DNA testing. Just look at me go. Lol Enjoy these pictures they are awesome and the ladies are better in person!

Red Double C Marslite 218N is maybe a mistake on our part. I had DNA’d everyone last spring and forgot that I managed to get 1 Double C Larry 27L calf before he went to his new home with the Tessier’s of Broken T at Weyburn. Cameron and Charlene picked the heifers and they were keeping all the CPRA 361E daughters that were embryo’s and overlooked this lady that was fathered by our high seller two years ago, who is also off of CPRA 361E. We should be keeping this leading lady as she is as attractive as her father and off the Marslite family she brings a little twist to the pedigree. She is one looker and would probably make an excellent 4 h project or a show heifer in the purebred show ring. So, take a look at this girl as she is a very special offering from our farm.

GUIDELINES FOR MANAGEMENT AND CARE OF YEARLING BULLS

1. Remember, your bull is now only 12-14 months old, even though he may weigh 1100-1400lbs. He has been on a feed test and ration changes must be done gradually. We have already started that process around the 1st week in March. It is good to let them harden up on pasture before breeding season begins. However, the pasture must be good, and they will require extra energy and protein if the pasture is not lush. First grass is always rich in energy and sometimes low in protein so either supplement with a pelleted protein or now is a good time for a mineral rich protein tub.

Research shows, that is the pasture is not lush and the bull starts to drop weight on pasture, semen quality will deteriorate quickly and then it takes roughly 60 days to correct any issues because of the poor pasture. Any stress condition during this time will make the fertilizing ability of the sperm to be reduced.

2. Do not expect a young bull to compete with older bulls or horned bulls. If intimidated by an older bull, he will not breed effectively or at all. If handled properly and not dominated by older bulls, a young bull should serve 20-25 females his first season. Size of pasture and terrain also influence this as well.

3. Limit the breeding season to no more than 60 days on a yearling bull. If you can’t limit the season then consider a rotation to give him a rest. A young bull has to learn how to pace himself and the first year is often a learning experience for him.

4. Watch a young bull early in the season to detect any physical problems. A virgin bull can have inadequacies undetected except through observation.

5. Maintain a good general health program, mineral, salt and fly control. There has been some good success with using garlic mineral and tubs with garlic included.

6. Recondition young bulls after the breeding season to allow them to mature to their genetic capabilities. This is a very critical age. A young bull’s usefulness as a two-year-old can be retarded if not properly reconditioned after use as a yearling. A word of advice, they do better if not competing with colder weather. So do it earlier than later. With it being a bull, you have purchased from us we have worked hard to make sure your bull is raised on little added in carbohydrates, we prefer fat from oats and a specialised protein balance to promote an easy keeping individual.

7. After your bull’s first breeding season remember young bulls change their teeth anytime between 16 and 24 months depending on each animals’ maturity, therefore they may lose some condition due to this so treat them with some extra hay and maybe a little grain to prevent possible weight loss due to this change.
