For over 50 years George has been dedicated to developing a herd which Consistently delivers the fertility, longevity, profitability, and ease of handling that make the cattle business rewarding. The Count Ridge herd has been carefully crafted, backed by 50+ years of Documented Performance Reporting Completed with Honesty and Integrity.
We are committed to raising Bulls for Breeding. They are not creep-fed. Wean weights are from right off the mother and grass.
Once weaned they are fed appropriately, developing their best features and providing an adequate evaluation of their potential, without pushing so hard as to compromise feet, health, or reproductive capabilities. After having several days to adjust to their new surroundings, they have been on feed since October 16/25 and weighed/evaluated every 30 days to monitor performance. (Special thanks to Kristine and Cattleland for doing such a fine job.)
We welcome- and Encourage, your research into the Bulls EPD’s which may be found on “Animal Inquiry” through the Canadian Angus Association website, (data in catalogue is current at time of printing)
These Bulls will prove themselves in your herd, bringing Ease Of Calving, Above Breed Average Wean Weights, Yearling Weights And Milk, which all work out to More Profit For You as a producer at the end of the season.
And let’s not forget the potential for building a respectable solid herd of Replacement Heifers, should you wish.
Overall– seeing You Succeed in the cattle industry is Our Goal !
We Are Always Grateful for Your Participation and Attendance at Our Sale and Have Immense Appreciation for All of Our Buyers, Past and Present!
We look forward to seeing you on Sale Day.

Terms & Sale Conditions
Terms:
The terms of the sale are cash or check. Settlement is to be made immediately after the completion of the sale. The right of property shall not pass until after settlement is made. All settlements must be made with a clerk of sale before any cattle will be released. All monies in Canadian funds.
Disputes:
In case of disputes, bidding will be reopened between the parties involved. If no further bid is made, the buyer will be the person from whom the auctioneer accepted the last bid. The auctioneer’s decision on all disputes is final.
Announcements:
All announcements made from the auction block will take precedence over the printed material in the catalogue. Buyers are therefore cautioned to pay close attention to any such announcements.
Purchaser’s Risk:
Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as it is sold. Insurance is available if desired.
Certificate of Registration:
Each registered animal will carry papers issued by the Canadian Angus Association. A certificate of registry duly transferred will be furnished to the buyer for each animal after payment has been made.
Accidents:
Although every precaution will be taken to protect the safety and comfort of buyers, neither the manager or consignors, nor the auctioneer assume any responsibility in the matter and disclaim any liability, legal or otherwise, in the event of accident or loss of property.
Liabilities:
All persons attend the sale at their own risk and sellers assume no liability, legal or otherwise, for any accidents occurring in, on, or about the premises.
Breeder’s Guarantee:
All animals sold have passed a semen evaluation. Any animal that has not proven itself a breeder within six months after date of sale may be returned to the seller at the buyer’s expense, if in healthy condition. The seller reserves the privilege of trying for a period of six months to prove the animal a breeder. The seller, at his option, may replace the animal with another of equal quality in full settlement. Should this not be possible, an adjustment will be made to reflect the value of the bull in question or a credit will be given toward the purchase of another bull.
Any complaints regarding breeding difficulties must be reported in writing by the buyer to the seller within the specified time above, and any animal returned must be free from disease and in good health.
We appreciate your attendance and participation at our sale. And Remember- we’re here all year, not just at Bull Sale time.
George & Laura Baxter
