FROM THE DESK AT T BAR C

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 22nd Annual Best of the Breeds Bull Sale, set for March 29 at Heartland Livestock in Yorkton.

For over two decades, this sale has been a trusted source for quality seedstock, bringing together leading breeders who are committed to producing functional, performance-driven bulls for the commercial cattleman. The strength and longevity of this event speaks volumes about the consistency of the program, and the confidence repeat buyers place in these operations.

We are pleased to once again feature an outstanding lineup of consignors. The catalogue opens with the powerful and predictable Gelbvieh offering from Goodview Gelbvieh, setting the tone for the depth of quality throughout. The Charolais division follows with a strong set of bulls from Harcourt Charolais and Dog Patch Charolais—cattle known for performance, muscle expression, and herd sire presence. A very impressive group of both Fullblood and Purebred Simmentals comes next from Forden Fairview Farm. This powerful set offers calving ease options without sacrificing the performance and maternal strength the breed is known for. Rounding out the sale is a dependable and performance-oriented group of Black Angus and Angus/Simmental bulls from Black Ridge Angus Farm. These bulls are designed to add pounds, predictability, and profitability to any operation.

The Best of the Breeds Bull Sale has always been built around practical cattle for real-world conditions. Whether you’re searching for calving ease heifer bulls, performance sires to add growth and payweight, or maternal strength to build your cow herd, you will find a strong selection represented on March 29.

We encourage you to study the catalogue, visit with the consignors, and evaluate the bulls prior to sale day. The breeders stand firmly behind their programs and are committed to customer satisfaction.

If we at T Bar can be of assistance in evaluating the offering or helping you make your selections, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to visiting with you sale day in Yorkton.

BLACK RIDGE ANGUS

Welcome to the 2026 bull sale! As I write this we are still seeing record prices for cattle and it is very welcome after struggling year after year. As much as I despise winter, the large amount of snow we have will hopefully fill our dugouts as last year was exceptionally dry. This set of bulls are developing on a free choice oats, hay and silage ration; we are also pail feeding them 5 lbs of rolled barley in the cold weather. They are NOT pushed, and are developing and growing out very well, the bulls by sale day will be around 12 months of age. We feel they are in excellent shape to go out and breed. Feel free to call or stop by at anytime. Please also check out our facebook page for pictures, videos and updates.

Black Ridge Herd Sires

We purchased Bravo, the 2020 lead off high selling Black Angus bull from Lewis Farms. This is his last set of calves as he was breeding his daughters, so at 7 years old he is working in a commercial herd, he looks amazing, moves like a cat, and still perfect feet. He has an impressive spread of an 80lb birth weight to 1537lb yearling weight, and is in the top 5% of the breed for scrotal. Longevity, functionality and performance.

We own this bull in partnership, so as a yearling he was used lightly and had a few calves here. If you are looking for performance and power this guy will do it, his epds have him in the top 5-10% of the breed for Weaning and yearling weight, Average Daily gain, Scrotal, heifer pregnancy, mature weight and height and functional longevity. We plan on using this bull much heavier this year.

Black Ridge Herd Sires

Low Birthweight Bull Options

PEAK DOT LANCASTER 260L

When looking for bulls, the herd bull presence this guy shows is why we chose him, that and his dam is an elite dam and his great grand dam was a donor, cow power in his pedigree. He is very masculine with a small angus head, excellent scrotal and big middle. His epds also have him in the top 1-7% of the breed for weaning and yearling weight, maternal calving ease and functional longevity. A bull which in his first year was mainly in the heifer pen and several of his sons have made it to the bull sale pen. At this time some of John’s favorite bulls are his son’s, and being out of mostly first calvers is quite a feat.

This bull came in dam, she was purchased out of the MWC dispersal. This guy was just 68lbs and was up and going on a very cold morning. His epd’s have him at the top 4% of the breed for calving ease and birth weight, so a solid option for the heifer pen. He is moderate in size but is well muscled with good structure and testicle development.

Out of a first calver, but he does not lack performance as he weaned off at a respectable 740lbs, or adjusted 727lb 205 day weight. His dam is actually an embryo female who is a full sister to our high selling bull back in our 2015 Sale. Solid bull with a solid cow family behind him.

Half brother to one of our top selling bulls last year to King Ranches, this dam just does not miss. She has had 7 calves and the bulls averaged 80lbs and heifers 78lbs, very consistent beautiful cow. One of her daughters has a bull selling in this sale as well. This guy is a real tank in the pen, big old middle, hair and eye appeal

Consist and strong in production with this cow family, this bull is related to Lot 94 & 98 on the dam side. With our drought this past year, it always impresses me when these females can bring wean 780lbs on brown grass.

and performance.

Cow Approved Bulls

A son of our new herdsire, Profound, he has the honor of being the #1 weaning weight bull. Just a March 15th calf out of a 14 year old cow. This fellow has great hair, thickness, size and a super calm disposition. All the homework is done on this fellow

A personal favorite of mine, we don’t have many Profound calves as the bull is owned in partnership but hopefully this year we will be able to use him some more. His calves are bigger at birth but are born unassisted and they grow as this bull is our #2 weaning weight bull and his epd’s put him in the top 7 & 8% of the Angus breed for weaning and yearling weight. Don’t miss this fellow.

One of the first calves born of the calf crop, and he is a good looking bull! His mom is a young cow in her prime that keeps her condition, has a beautiful udder and teats. She is a daughter of the DMM Maximus bull so a lot of power in this pedigree, this cow family is also related to 2 other bulls in this sale, MJO 14N and 18N.

#3 Performing bull here, weighed 856lbs on October 10th. His dam also raised the top performing heifer last year on the farm. This sire match with this cow worked really well, lots of hair and thickness.

This bull has caught my attention all year, lots of rib, hair and overall confirmation. We just weighed this guy the other day and he will post a nice 1200 lb actual 365d weight, which is where we like our bulls to develop for balanced growth and longevity.

A bull with tonnes of hair and long as a train and a big ol’butt and in the top 20% WW epd. Dam is a favorite cow going back with her mother also having a bull in this sale. Weaned Oct 10th at 830lbs, the Brutus calves sure pack on the red meat.

A bull out of one of the best looking cows on the farm, son’s have sold off the farm and her only daughter we have kept for a replacement. Weaned off at 850lbs, lots of depth and middle on this boy, nice balanced epd’s on this guy

This bull has had all his brothers sell through this sale, the dam just doesn’t miss, out of a top cow family here. Weaned off at 882lbs, lots of length and performance. Brothers have sold to Flaman Cattle Co, Lana Graham and Rafter 7 Ranch.

This bull is long and hairy! Weaned off at 758 lbs, Dam has been here many years with top quality calves

A purebred bull that sells with no papers. He is probably one of the longest bulls in the pen and he moves like a cat, smooth and quick, very masculine bull. He has been a standout since birth and will be the last of the his sires calf crop. Sire is still working in a commercial herd at 7 years of age with perfect feet.

Angus x Simmental Bulls

We have been raising these F1 bulls for a few years now. Shane has been telling us to put them in this sale every year and we finally caved and are bringing 4 to town. All bulls are true F1’s.

A flashy F1 with that excellent hair and a big butt, his dam is a big cow so the birthweight is relative to the size of the dam. Hetero Polled, Hetero Black

Udder of Paternal Sister to Lots 106, 106, and 107

This guy has been a favorite all year and catches everyone’s eye, lots of hair, guts and performance as he was near the top of the pen. These F1’s all carry excellent scrotals. Hetero Polled Hetro Black

Udder of Paternal Sister to Lots 106, 106, and 107

A moderate birth bull here, he will just be a year old on sale day. Dam is a very nice young cow with a beautiful udder. Hetero Polled Hetero Black

This second calver knocked it out of the park, her bull last year sold to Flavel’s at Bulyea and he was a top bull in the pen last year. This guy is very masculine, long and a muscle machine, you won’t miss him on sale day. Hetero Polled Hetero Black
