1 THE BACKDROP HEIFER & GENETICS SALE
Welcome
TO THE BACKDROP HEIFER & GENETICS SALE Welcome to our second year hosting The Backdrop! We are still overwhelmed by last year’s support and we had so much fun following the success of all the kids with their purchases and helping in every way we can! The people in this industry is what makes it all worth while; from what starts out as business relationships, extends into what feels like family. We are so grateful to everyone who has played a part in our lives and success throughout the year! Please feel free to come for a tour any time - whether that’s the bull pen, summer pasture tours, or The Backdrop offering - we love talking cattle! This year we are excited to welcome Bitz Simmentals with two very nice daughters of our partnership bull Ty-D’s North Face 24L who has really exceeded our expectations as a herd bull. The Bitz’s are yet another family who we’ve met through this amazing industry and have become much more than just business partners! Check out lots 8 & 9 - we like them a bunch! All of the cattle have been at minimum double vaccinated with Pyramid 5, Vision 8, and have been developed on a RioMax mineral program.
WELCOME TO THE BACKDROP

There was no way Taylor was letting go of this one, but we had to pull a very high quality heifer from the sale due to needing minor surgery - so we decided Jenny would fill the spot. Guys, this one is cool! She has a cocky look, explosive shape, and moves like a cat! She was going to be one of our spring/summer jackpot heifers - we think this one is going to see a few backdrops!

These are the first Cash daughters we have offered for sale! Cash was shown from a calf to a mature bull and commanded a lot of attention - he concluded his show career as the 2024 National Champion Simmental Bull at Farm Fair, Top 5 Farm Fair Supreme, and Top 10 Agribition Supreme. The Cash progeny easily hit the top end of our calf crop. 31P is an absolute tank of a heifer calf bred up from our absolute favourite Angus cow - which we don’t say lightly! This female is going to be a great producer.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR
Priest Ranching Ltd.
We are pleased to support Ty-D Livestock - DLMS Online Heifer Sale. Last year’s high seller tub went to Eggen Land & Cattle. We are donating a 125lb Riomax PG360 lick tub to the person who purchases the high selling lot. The tubs are widely used in the commercial and purebred industry with many proven results.
SO, WHAT SORT OF RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT USING THE TUBS?
• 15-30% hay, feed & forage savings (This also looks like increased carrying capacity or more grazing days on a pasture) • 3-10% increase in conception rates • 10-40 lb increase in weaning weights • Better overall herd health (ex. less calf sickness, foot rot, pinkeye, etc.) There have also been testimonies of increased scrotal measurement and improved semen quality and testing. We personally have noticed improvement in the hair coat of our cattle as well as overall contentment. Thank you for having us be part of your first fall heifer sale. We wish you all the best.
