Porter Ranches Simmental Bull Sale - Stony Plain, AB

PORTER RANCHES PORTER RANCHES

Welcome to the 2026 edition of our bull sale. This marks our 56th year of marketing Simmental-influenced bulls with a clear focus on cattle that work in real-world commercial conditions. Over the years, our program has evolved, but the goal has remained the same: produce consistent, functional bulls that add value, reduce input, and improve profitability. We believe consistency of all traits, especially traits that simplify management, lower cost of production.

We have intentionally blended Simmental and Angus genetics to deliver calving ease, predictable birth weights, and strong early growth. The Angus influence contributes to shorter gestation, lighter births, and improved vigor at calving, while maintaining the carcass merit for today’s market. Our objective is to widen the gap between birth and weaning weight. Correct structure, natural fleshing ability and disposition are essential for longevity.

To back up what we see on the hoof, we use ultrasound to index performance and traits that are more heritable. This allows us to compare cattle on real data—not just appearance—and make more informed breeding decisions. Ribeye area is one of the most heritable traits and has a direct impact on efficiency, weight gain, and structural balance. New this year, we are providing ribeye area per 100 pounds of carcass weight. This calculation gives a clear picture of muscle density and helps identify cattle that put weight in the right places. It highlights bulls that balance growth and structure, delivering pay weight pounds rather than excess weight. Measuring cattle is the foundation of long-term genetic improvement.

After more than five decades of breeding, our focus is not on individual outliers, but on offering groups of like-type bulls that work together in commercial programs. The 2026 offering is uniform in kind, strong in structure, and built for function. This group will post an average All Purpose Index (API) ranking that leads the way, reflecting how multiple traits work together to improve your bottom line. We use Simmental influence for maternal strength, feed efficiency, and yield—traits that matter when calves must perform from pasture to packer. Good bulls come from productive females that earn their keep and stay in the herd under practical management. Selecting the right herd sire is one of the most important decisions you will make. The impact carries through your calf crop and cow herd for years to come.

Rebel Livestock Ltd- Jared Sherman and Natalie Benjamin are our partners in the cattle business. We have chosen to work together because we see breeding and managing cattle the same. Jared and Natalie are grounded and are well versed in the cattle business with a strong acumen of success in developing and placing replacement livestock whether it be bulls or females. Please reach out to Jared and Natalie if you are looking for bulls or replacement females, they only deal in quality cattle and developing quality relationships.

Our sales team, T Bar C, Chris Poley, Ben Wright, and Shane Mikelson will be available to help evaluate the bulls and provide practical insight for your program.

We welcome your inquiries and appreciate the opportunity to show you our cattle and assist with your selections. We look forward to seeing or speaking with you on or before March 13, 2026.

The resiliency of the cattle market over the past several years has been exciting to watch. Just when it seems the market has reached its peak, it surges higher. What a time to be in the cattle business!

As cattle producers, we often push the envelope on growth and performance—and while that strategy has merit, I strongly encourage caution. When we become too narrowly focused on increasing weaning weights, we risk sacrificing the most fundamental driver of profitability in the cow-calf business: a productive cow herd that keeps input costs in check. Along with the strong cattle prices we’ve all enjoyed have come significantly higher input costs, and those costs must be managed. As we navigate an era of higher production expenses, it is more important than ever to focus on building cows that are sound, functional, cost-effective, and productive.

The ideal cow is one that can:

1. Calve easily as a heifer and again as a second calver

2. Breed back quickly, ideally in the first or second cycle post-calving 3. Wean a calf that is an acceptable weight for its age relative to her size 4. Do all of this consistently, year after year, throughout her productive life

Achieving this kind of consistency is only possible through generations of disciplined genetic selection. That means leaning into programs with strong pedigrees, trusted data, and proven outcomes. Careful herd sire selection, supported by accurate and reliable information, is critical to producing predictable results. Tools such as ultrasound and performance data allow us to measure progress and ensure we are pushing the performance envelope responsibly. By combining carcass data with EPDs and breed indexes, we now have the most powerful tools the industry has ever seen to inform herd sire selection. Carcass data was once viewed strictly as a measure of terminal performance, but we—and our customers—have proven that it is just as valuable on the maternal side. In our experience, using ribeye expressed as area per 100lbs of carcass weight, along with IMF (intramuscular fat), allows us to identify bulls that will sire daughters with muscle and density in a moderate, efficient package.

These are daughters that can maintain condition and lay down fat on highforage diets—resilient, fertile cows that require less input to produce more output. Building a productive cow herd takes time and discipline and it is the best way to maximize profitability in high and low market conditions.

The Porter Ranches program offers industryleading carcass and performance data, giving you the confidence to make well-informed decisions for the future of your program. You can trust that this offering of bulls represents a sound investment—one that will deliver positive results today, and for generations to come.

SALE FORCE

FROM THE DESK AT T BAR C...

Porter Ranches annual bull sale is set out to be one of the most common sense yet loaded with data bull sales you’ll find compared to most.

Kevin and his crew meticulously have designed a set of bulls for the new era of bull buying with data info to secure your investment in every way, shape, or form.

The set of bulls this ranch has put forth are sound, easy on the ground, have width of base, and are incredibly docile. Walking through their cow herd, you see the fundamentals in which they emphasize heavily with a strict culling process.

Slowly developed in a large pen, these bulls are built to last and offer genetic merit through ribeye, carcass, and marbling to a very high degree.

The simple structure of the cattle here at Porter Ranches is where the industry is; these cattle are current, fresh, and have been bred with profit in mind.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us at T Bar, as we’ve walked through the bulls, are familiar with the PRL tattoo, and endorse the way they handle business.

See you in Stony Plain.

EPD EXPLANATION

The initial EPD on an animal has about 20% accuracy. As we mate these cattle – and through selection for good conformation and good phenotype measure (like weighing and ultra-sounding) we will, in time, improve the accuracy. EPD’s express an animal’s potential within a given population. To get the animal to express that potential, the goal would be to mate it with an animal of equivalent EPD potential, which will improve the consistency of the cattle in the overall herd. Success will be found when you have the highest number of traits with average population EPD number expression.

It is important not to deviate from the type of bulls you want the direction of your herd to take. Consistency leads to uniformity of the animals in your herd. This will not happen overnight, however you will see improvement in certain traits depending on that traits heritability.

CE = Calving Ease - % of unassisted births (the higher the number the better!)

BW = Birth Weight – pounds of birth weight (the lower the number, the lighter the calves)

WW = Weaning Weight – pounds of weaning weight (the higher the number, the more pounds will be weaned)

YW = Yearling Weight – pounds of yearling weight (the higher the number the more pounds as a yearling)

MCE = Maternal Calving Ease – predicts calving ease of a bull’s daughters (the higher the number the better)

MM = Maternal Milk – pounds of calf weaned by a bull’s daughters. A management number with reflection of the environment and feed resources.

CWT = Carcass Weight – estimates the average differences in carcass weight

REA = Square inches of ribeye area (0.57 is average)

FAT = inches of back fat measured over the 12th and 13th rib (0.59 is average)

MARB = Numerical Marbling Score (-0.06 is average)

API = used to rank Simmental on an Angus cowherd. Maternal traits are calculated to retain the female value as replacements. The remaining progeny are put on feed and valued on carcass merit. This is an inclusive number, and the higher the number, predicts more retained value in the animal.

TI = this is an index that is expressed in dollars on carcass traits an animal has to offer when bred to an Angus cow and progeny are fed and sold as a graded carcass. Yield and marbling have influence here. No maternal traits are considered for the index.
