CHAROLAIS YEARLING, LONG YEARLING & TWO-YR-OLDS RED ANGUS YEARLING, LONG YEARLING & TWO-YR-OLDS 117
As we celebrate 36 years, we would like to welcome you to our Annual Bull Sale on behalf of the Howe and Rosso families at the Howe Farm Sale Barn. Certainly, this would not have been possible without the support of our customers who have become our friends over the last 36 years. We are extremely proud of the set of bulls we have on offer this year. These bulls are the result of over 100 years spent in the purebred business by the Howe and Rosso families.
What an incredible rebound the beef industry has taken, seeing record prices which is helping to make it a viable industry. Now more than ever top-quality cattle are going to bring a huge premium. With these good times good quality is going to help keep a person’s operation viable with all the rising input costs.
We have followed a strict selection protocol to bring you the very best set of bulls each and every year for the last 36 years. These bulls are the result of a hardworking set of cows where good feet, legs and udders are taken very seriously.
The sale will again be broadcast by DLMS for your convenience. We welcome & encourage your visits to the Howe or Rosso Farms to look over the sale offering. You can also see all the bulls at the Howe Farm Sale Site beginning the afternoon of Sunday March 29, 2026 right up to sale day.
We are very proud of our offering and are willing to stand behind all of these bulls. If you have any questions about the sale offering, please feel free to contact any of the consigners for further information. If you cannot make it sale day, we are more than happy to help you find your next bulls through our Sight–unseen program or you can bid through the DLMS online sale broadcast. You can buy with confidence from our programs.
Thank You and See You Sale Day! The Howe and Rosso Famlies

In putting together our catalogue it is hard to believe that we have been breeding Charolais cattle since 1968 and Angus cattle since 1985. We believe it is no accident that this set of bulls is this strong. These bulls represent what we have strived for over the last 58 years. They have very moderate birth weights and still have the growth and performance the breeds represent to the commercial industry.
You have to appreciate the hair coat these bulls carry along with strong feet and legs and cleanliness through the sheath. These bulls are all from strong cow families that speak for themselves in what the bulls have sired for sons/daughters. We are very conscious of having good feet on our cattle to help extend their longevity and ability to travel in all kinds of pasture terrain.
With the increasing demand for 2-year-old bulls, we set aside a group of young and promising calves to sell to this market. Since 2018 when we bred our first group of cows in the fall, our offering now includes long yearling bulls. We brought these bulls along with our yearling bulls on a Complete TMR Ration until April. They were then switched on to a high forage/backgrounding ration until turned out on pasture in August. In November we brought these bulls in along with our own herd sires to finish their development into the phenomenal set of bulls you see.
Take a look at the pictures/videos of these bulls. You can see that this offering continues to be a strong set of 2-year-old, long yearling and yearling bulls that we offer to producers. We feel you will find something to fit your program needs.
We are proud of every one of these calves and that’s why they wear our brand on their hip. We currently calve 295 cows between the two breeds.
Our offering now includes Yearling, Long Yearling and Two-Year Old Bulls. We look forward to you joining us on April 1, 2026 for our 36th Annual Bull Sale at our Sale Barn.

Welcome to Rosso Charolais
As we host our Annual Bull Sale, we are proud to reflect on more than 40 years in the Charolais business. What started as a commitment to raising practical, performance-driven cattle has grown into a program built on consistency, integrity, and long-term customer relationships. With over 1,100 bulls sold across Canada, we are grateful for the trust you continue to place in our program.
At Rosso Charolais, we believe cattle should work for you not the other way around. Our cows are expected to be functional, maternal, and low maintenance. We calve a half mile from home, and that keeps us honest. Calving ease isn’t a marketing line here it’s a necessity. We breed for unassisted births, vigorous calves, and the kind of performance that adds real value at weaning time.
Our walking herd sires are selected for structural soundness, fertility, disposition, and balanced performance. They are built to cover ground, breed naturally, and sire calves with muscle, consistency, and longevity. Strong cow families, good feet and legs, and realworld durability remain the backbone of our program.
This year’s offering reflects that philosophy practical cattle, developed responsibly, and built to last.
If they don’t work for us, they don’t make it to you. Calving ease, structural integrity, and practical performance are non-negotiable.
We look forward to seeing you on sale day.

Here’s a herd bull. Big bodied, long spined, wide topped and can get out and move like a cat.He’s sired by THRR Double Lake 76J and backed by the proven Melissa cow family cattle known for consistency, production, and longevity. We showed him this fall and he stood out every time he hit the ring. Tons of rib shape, extra depth, big top, and true herd bull presence. He handled the show road like a pro and just keeps getting better. If you’re looking for a balanced, performance driven bull with look, pedigree, and numbers here he is.
What does this mean?
You may have noticed this logo on our Charolais pedigrees. This means that the animal has been 50K/100K DNA tested meaning the accuracy for that animal’s EDP increases. This genomically-enhanced EDP allows us to greatly enhance our selection process and better predict the genetic potential of that animal.
Take a look at the bulls actual weaning weights to compare the weights of your weaned calves. From weaning, Rosso Charolais bulls are fed rations to grow and develop, not fatten. The bulls are fed a 62-65 TDN grain ration and alfalfa hay. Numbers are subject to amount of feed fed. We believe in calving ease, and cattle that will work for you on the range.
