Bell M Farms

The Moellenbeck’s, Englefeld, SK

Building Better Beef is what this industry is all about. Here at Bell M Farms, only 20% of our bull calves are retained as bulls. They are selected on size, quality, feet, legs, testicles, color and disposition. These bulls are grown out on a high roughage (straw), grain and a 32% beef supplement mixture along with a limited amount of hay. Remember grown out, not fattened. These bulls will be able to serve a large number of females for you to help Build Better Beef. As with all the bulls born at Bell M Farms, you have to be born unassisted to make the first hurdle to keep your nuts. Then we start looking at birth weight (they get weighed with a scale; No tape or eyeballing), structure, horns, color, performance, disposition, etc.

We have also taken the approach of ‘if you can measure it, record it‘. This is all in an attempt to provide you, our customer, the most information possible. We do things like weighing the cowherd, it’s an interesting task as we are often asked ‘what size is their mother’. Studies show a cow should easily have a calf 7% of their body weight. Thus, a 1500 lb cow should be able to deliver a 105 lb calf. We are more concerned about calving ease than birthweight. Our cows are also udder scored and recorded to the CSA Registry.

Every bull in this year’s offering, we feel could be a herdsire here at Bell M Farms, we don’t expect to sell you a bull if we would not feel comfortable using ourselves. Yes, this cuts down on quantity, but skyrockets the highest quality of Shorthorn Bulls you will find in Canada. We retain an in herd semen use on all bulls at our expense and the buyers convenience.

Possibly the most unique genetically made Shorthorn bull to sell this spring. Named after this years Grey Cup Champions, whom also won their first Championship in 1966, the same year Four Point Major was born. “Massive Major” was purchased by a group of ten Saskatchewan breeders in 1974 for the then record price of $10,000 in Rothbury Dispersal at the age of 8. (worth $66,800 in 2026) He was said to be one of the biggest Shorhorn bulls at the time and weighed 2,600 lbs. He was best known for producing excellent daughters.

Sally 57E is known for producing excellent bulls. She has a weaning production ratio of 120 over 7 calves and her dam with 106 over 6 calves. Roughrider is a Maternal brother to Kryptonite, Rocken and Felsen to name a few. Lots of performance here with a 720 lb weaning weight.

Saskvalley Stock Farm

The Lehmann’s, Rosthern, SK

Once again, we are bringing you a group of bulls that have been bred to perform on grass in the summer and a moderate growing ration in the winter. These bulls have never been pushed for maximum gain. As calves they ate only grass and their mother’s milk, NO CREEP. After weaning in December they are fed a total mixed ration (TMR) designed with an energy level of 50 Mcal/cwt NEgain (For frame of reference, our heifer calves are fed a TMR with an energy level of 40 Mcal/cwt NEgain and expect them to gain 1.75 pounds per day. Most feedlots in western Canada feed a fattening ration that is 60 Mcal/cwt NEgain or more). They were turned out onto grass in May. During the summer as yearlings, while grazing grass, they received only salt and mineral supplementation. They did not receive any protein or energy supplements. In November they were taken off grass and once again fed a TMR with an energy level of 50 Mcal/cwt Negain. We are trying to breed cattle that can survive and reproduce with a minimum amount of labor and feed. We do not sell any yearling bulls off the yard, so everyone has the opportunity to own the best 2 year old bulls that we raise.

5 years ago we started testing our yearling bulls for individual feed efficiency and residual feed intake (RFI). Researchers have proved feed efficiency to be a moderately heritable trait. The first 2 years the bulls were tested at Cattleland Feedyards in Strathmore Alberta. We now do the feed trials ourselves with our own feed bunks. We believe that reducing feed intake by 10% while at the same time maintaining performance is very achievable. Both independent research and the data we have generated with our own bulls substantiate this position.

Residual feed intake (RFI) is defined as the difference between an animal’s actual feed intake and its expected feed requirements for maintenance and growth, and is used as a selection tool for selecting feed efficient animals, thus reducing feed costs. RFI is like a golf score, the more negative the better. Also note it is a contemporary group number. A bulls RFI can only be compared to other bulls in its contemporary group.

If you have any questions about feed efficiency or would like to see the set of data on the entire pen, please contact Barry.

All of our bulls are TH free. Myostatin and 100K results will be available by sale day. All of the bulls that we used last summer will be tested for trichomoniasis. Feel free to contact us about any information on the bulls. We would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Videos of the bulls can be seen on our Facebook page. www.facebook.com/saskvalleyshorthorns/videos

Replacement Females

We are offering a group of females that are from the heart of the heifer pen. They represent many of our top cow families. In many cases there are either full sisters or maternal sisters in the herd. Take these heifers home and breed them to the bull of your choice and reap for the profits.

Powerful appendix female with big names in her pedigree starting with Hill Haven Fire Storm 28C, Shadybrook Hot Shot 88A, Shadybrook Platinum 1Z, Bell M Sketchers 87D, JSF Top Hand 34R, and Bell M foreman 30A. Opportunities with her are endless, brood cow, show heifer, or what ever your heart desires. Half sib sold last year to Brody Brooks.

CalvingEase(CE) Listed as a percentage of unassisted calvings. A higher CED EPD predicts a sire that will have a higher percentage of unassisted calves.

BirthWeight(BW) At the basic level, birth weight is nothing more than an indicator trait for calving ease, but the emphasis on birth weight can be overdone. Economically, over selecting for low birth weights can take us in the wrong direction; cattle still sell by the pound. Use BW EPD in conjunction with calving ease. Phenotypic traits like length of body, shoulder design, head shape, circumference of bone and even frame score play a significant role in determining birth weights and calving ease.

WeaningWeights(WW) Put simply, weaning weight is the ability of a bull’s calf to dry off, stagger to its feet, and grow like mad. Finding a sire with a strong WW that also excels in other economically relevant traits important to your breeding program is a key element to success.

YearlingWeight(YW) This trait is economically important since it is more indicative of growth potential through market weights taken early in the animals life. Single trait selection for YW can lead to serious problems that can affect bottom line profit. Mature must be monitored when selecting a bull for performance via YW EPD. Cow maintenance costs, calving difficulty, and even breeding problems can result. YW EPDs can be very influential if you understand your environment conditions or if you are retaining ownership in your calves from birth to slaughter.

Milk(M) A bull’s Milk EPD is determined by his daughter’s ability to wean heavier calves than her contemporaries. Just because a cow weans a heavier calf each year does not necessarily mean her Milk EPD should be the highest in the herd. The performance of her calf can also be attributed to the dam’s or sire’s growth genetics or a number of environmental factors. Milk EPDs can be too high for your environmental conditions especially in severe environmental conditions and can have a negative impact on rebreeding rates.

$ValueIndexes

$CEZ–($CalvingEase) This index assumes a bull will only be mated to heifers, not cows. The potential profitability of the sire is measured by the incidence of live calves at birth. Moderate mature size is also emphasized in the index., but performance is not a priority. This index is also a good measure of Shorthorn females’ ability to produce calving ease sires. Overemphasis of $CEZ may cause unwanted depression of weaning and yearling performance

$BMI–($BritishMaternalIndex) As the name implies, this multi-trait selection index attempts to measure a bull’s potential profitability when complimenting the British cow base (Angus, Red Angus, Hereford, etc.). Shorthorn females can likewise be gauged at adding value to British or British-composite bulls of other breeds. A balance of growth and carcass traits is desired with a strong maternal component aimed at optimum reproductive efficiency and cow longevity.

$F–($Feedlot) Similar to a Terminal Sire scenario, $Feedlot places strong emphasis on growth and carcass traits. This multi-trait index assumes the sire will be mated to a mix of heifers and cows and attempts to measure profitability when progeny are sold on the fed market. On the female side, mature size should be monitored closely when selecting for $F. Overselection may cause detrimental harm to longevity, reproductive efficiency, and fleshing ability.

Ultrasound Definitions

RibeyeArea(REA) Area of the longissimus muscle, measured in square inches. The trait is moderately to highly heritable and gives an indication of overall carcass muscling.

FatThickness(FT) An external fat measurement taken between the 12th and 13th ribs, measured in inches.

RumpFat(RF) An external measurement taken between the hooks and pins, measured in inches. The rump fat and the rib fat measurements are used to determine the overall external body fat.

IntramuscularFat(%IMF) Percentage of fat in the ribeye area muscle (similar to marbling). The field technician collects four images and the values generated by the interpreting software are averaged for an overall %IMF. Marbling directly contributes to beef palatability.

LeanYield(LY) Percentage of muscle in the carcass.
