From the desk at T Bar… Welcome to the 2021 edition of “Best of the Breeds”, Sunday March 28, 2021 at Heartland Livestock Services, Yorkton, Saskatchewan. This is the 17th Annual… who would have thought back when Merv Schmidt (Belmont Charolais) did not want to halter break and sell bulls all spring, and started this event in Leross, that this bull sale would become one of, if not, the best multi-breed bull sales in the nation… yes, this sale has lived up to its billing! The success of Best of the Breeds must be credited to these six breeding operations who each year upgrade their programs to offer a more improved, higher profit yielding product for the livestock industry. Many breeder bulls have been selected by purebred producers in Canada and south of the line. This year will be no different as the lineup of bulls is powerful and exciting. Whether you are looking for Red or Black Angus, Charolais, Gelbvieh or Red, Black, Fullblood or Fleck Simmental, the 112 bulls offer variety with quality. Do not overlook the fact that much of the sale offering is homo polled. We know many of you use at least two breeds in your breeding pastures so you can fulfil your breeding needs on one day, at one sale…. it is like a “bull depot!” The bulls will be available for viewing the day prior at Heartland or stop by any of these herds to preview the sale offering. Feel free to give any of these progressive breeders a call to discuss their bulls and which would be suitable for your breeding situation. History has shown us that the bulls are affordable and get the job done, judging by the repeat customer base. Plan to be with us or online on the last Sunday in March! If we may be of assistance, prior to or sale day, feel free to contact any of the T Bar team or myself, we will help you in a professional manner.

We would like to like to welcome everyone to the 17th Annual Best of the Breeds Bull Sale. Every year we strive to bring you the most current genetics available. These bulls are selected based on the criteria that you, the producer, have asked for. Performance bulls that have calving ease built into their pedigree that are structurally sound, fertile, along with great dispositions. We are proud to say that these bulls exemplify all of these traits! They are big bodied, athletic bulls that can really travel. This year our main herd sire was SVY Wizard 707E. He was the high selling bull calf at $55,000 at the 2017 Agribition Sale among one of the most impressive string of flush mates ever seen in the Charolais barn. His mother, SVY Starstruck 409B was named Miss World Charolais and is one of the most phenotypically correct females you will ever find. We have found the Wizard progeny were born easy and were very attractive from day one. The WCR Commissioner son in the sale is in a word… FANTASTIC. Bulls like him don’t come along every day. The S0S Hooey son is breeder quality and is definitely worth a look. The two HBC Cortez sons in the sale are out of top end cows. Cortez himself comes from one of our best and oldest cow families. We invite you to stop by the farm anytime and have a look at the bulls. Or give us a call and we can help you find a bull that will work in your program. Chris Poley has been through the pen and evaluated the bulls. The team at T Bar C will be happy to assist you in any way they can prior to the sale. Jon Wright and Helge By of the Charolais Banner have also been through the pen, and Helge will be on hand sale day. Check out videos of the bulls and the sale catalogue on our website at harcourtcharolais.com or visit our Facebook page, Harcourt Charolais. They are also available on buyagro.com and DLMS.ca. We look forward to seeing you at this year’s sale!

HBC Temptation 802F HOMOZYGOUS POLLED. When Chris Poley first saw Summit, he said “this calf hits you pretty hard.” 1H is as long as a train and just as powerful. When you start checking boxes on a herd bull, he has to look the part, have all the numbers needed and a powerful dam. 1H checks them all! 802F is as long and deep a cow as you will find. She has a great udder, a big foot and character skull. When breeders saw her on the show road the comment many times was that she is the kind of female that will produce herd bulls. She knocked it out of the park in her first try! Summit is an incredible combo of low birth weight and extreme growth. Check out his EPDs: top 25% of the breed for Birth Weight, top 10% for Weaning Weight and top 15% for Yearling Weight. He is homo polled and has a big set of perfect nuts. He measured 37cm at 12 months of age. Let Summit lead your program to the top. SELLING 3/4 INTEREST, FULL POSSESSION

Maternal Granddam of Lot 35:

HBC First Date 412B HOMOZYGOUS POLLED. White Claw is everything we like to see in a herd sire! He was a standout since birth. He’s big bodied, soft made, big footed, big scrotal and has the herd bull presence! Not to mention his stellar disposition! Like all of the Wizard calves, he is powerfully built and high libido. His dam, HBC Royal 719E is a tremendous female who is super thick made, deep bodied, and paired with a tidy square udder underneath. She is in the top 1% of the breed for WW and YW EPDs! Like his mother, White Claw is very sound, athletic and loaded with volume! White Claw is homozygous polled by pedigree, has a moderate birth weight, and is super attractive in his design! This bull is a bull you don’t want to miss! SELLING 3/4 INTEREST, FULL POSSESSION

The shape and athletic ability along with a thick, curly hair coat make this bull one to watch. DSY 331E has a perfect, uptight udder and has great feet and overall structure. Backed by some of the best herds in the industry. The predictability in this bull is insane. Check him out. SELLING 3/4 INTEREST, FULL POSSESSION

Sire of Lots 35-39:

SVY Wizard 707E (as a yearling)

This Wizard son catches your eye every time. Moderate birth weight, solid feet and legs and out of a moderate Copenhagen cow that always raises a big calf. These Wizard sons continue to impress us with their great dispositions and fault free structure. 14H has that attractive look that he will pass on to his offspring that will sure to top any market anywhere.

HOMOZYGOUS POLLED. 2H is typical of the Wizard sons we have on offer. He is great footed, big nutted and quiet. Our Wizards calved unassisted and never looked back. They grow, are easy to feed and easy to be around. 212Z is a very consistent cow that have put many bulls through this sale and this year had the secondhigh selling bred heifer in the Sterling Collection Sale to Johnson Charolais in Alberta.

Dam of Lot 39:

LAE Brandy 4141B

This big, long tank of a bull will put pounds on your calves. Recommended for bigger cows. 15H was born unassisted from a moderate no-miss cow, 4141B. If that cow seems familiar, she is! She has produced herd bull after herd bull. The mother of HBC Ransom, the tremendous HBC G2 son that walks at Balamore Farms, Nova Scotia. Her sons are always at the top of the pen for growth. Add 15H to your bull battery and have fun selling those big, market topping steers!

This guy moves and looks like a herd bull. His dam was a high seller we purchased in the Wood River Female Sale a few years back and she has lived up to her billing. She is moderate, deep and very quiet. Her udder is made the way it should be – up tight, loads of milk and perfect teat size. 20H is the image of his sire, S0S Hooey 127D. Great genetics in a picture-perfect package. Study him closely. He won’t disappoint. SELLING 3/4 INTEREST, FULL POSSESSION

Sire of Lots 41 & 42: HBC Cortez 805F

Dam of Lot 41: HBC Paris 816F

HBC Cortez, the sire of 21H, was the highest performing and most complete son of JWX Downtown that we raised and out of one of our top cow families as well. We used him as clean up to our AI program and by the looks of his calves, we should have used him more. 21H is quite a package. Low birth weight, easy calving and big barrelled, he grabs you when he comes in the pen. Jon Wright picked him as his favourite in the pen. His mother is a perfect female. Moderate in size and is structurally perfect. Her udder can’t be any better. Square and uptight with a lot of milk and perfect teat size. A cow Justin says he should show as a pair. She is that good! Same cow family as 20H. Proof is in the genetics.
