Spring Thaw 2026

Page 1


This industry is as exciting to be in as ever before. The material put forth in this catalog is a sure bet for the spring ‘26 breeding season. Not overly large in quantity, but selective and particularly chosen to have only the best available for the coming year. Pictured here are some of the high sellers from this past February Freeze that was a sale for the record books. We are confident in this offering and believe there’s a huge flavour for high end genetics in a rather smaller quantity basis from leading breeders in the North American landscape. Any questions please contact any of us listed.

EMBRYOS FROM THE ‘25 ROYAL CHAMPION...

One of the most exciting matings we’ve ever made comes from our prized donor matched with the popular Primal. Barbara was the 2025 Champion female in Toronto where she has been a division champion every year since and was a past $86,000 Fallsview graduate as a heifer calf. Her daughter alongside being champion female this past year was purchased for $45,000 to Dudgeon/ Trelford/ R Plus this past fallsview as her first effort. Barbara’s flawless phenotype and udder quality is a joy to view everyday and we feel will lead the charge in a new era of Angus seedstock. Primal has the industry talking with semen sales at $1900 per does to some of the most reputable breeders known on the planet. His number package, dam and overall appearance is what the chatter is all about so grab ahold of the rope on what we feel could be as good of a mating to implant for the ‘26 breeding season.

NUMBERS, PEDIGREE AND LOOKS...

7H is a female we have cherished since the day we bought her as a high seller in the AAC sale. She has turned into a factory producing two daughters retained in our herd with plans of implanting matings off her this coming spring. When you look at the paper EPD evaluation of 7H matched with the breed icon Hi Country you get the top 1% spread in the breed from BW to YW. Can you imagine a set of sons in a bull sale with this genetic combination? Negative on BW is extremely popular when you can maintain this kind of performance while adding in the striking presence both individuals have. We plan to build  around this gorgeous specimen for years ahead through herself and also her beautiful daughters .

THE MOST IN DEMAND BULL IN CANADA...

Primal has risen to superstar status. His EPD profile combined with his glorious dam has gathered attention from the who’s who of pedigreed seedstock producers. With semen in very limited amount, this could be the LAST EVER chance to get a hold of Primal. No bull in sometime attracts such an outcross pedigree with maternal values like Primal. His legendary dam Prim Lassie 329 has a list of progeny amongst the breeds best, but Primal has to be her best try yet. A bull with so much promise to be a curve bending sire while incorporating his high degree of phenotype has the breed talking.

1 - Dam, Musgrave Prim Lassie 329

NATURAL LAW IS LITERALLY SELF EXPLANATORY.

The daughters are so good you’d think they are from another planet, as with the sons carrying as such maternal attributes as any sire out there. Only 2 doses and we don’t know anyone else who has any or wants to sell it.

A LANDMARK FEMALE ...

109Z is that special female. The impact she has done has been overwhelming, and females like this just don’t come along everyday. She was the $140,000 high seller from the record breaking U2 sale and has dominated production levels like we’ve never see before. From her first son Coaltion to the now 148 registered progeny, 100Z has earned her way. Soon to hit 16 years age, we promise this era of Angus seedstock is never going out of a style and she made us proud again at the February Freeze sale just a short time ago with the high selling embryos of the entire evening. A special female mated to valuable sires in a sexed female option.

This embryo package represents a “best of both worlds” approach to modern Angus genetics, pairing the hottest outcross sire in the breed with a cornerstone donor from the Ranch Covey Hill program. The sire, HF Hi-Country 7L, was the $185,000 sensation of the 2024 Hamilton Farms sale, acclaimed for his near-perfect foot structure and ranking in the top 1% of the breed for Claw and Angle EPDs. He brings a rare combination of mass, masculinity, and “heifer-safe” calving ease that perfectly complements the proven power of the Rosebud line.

The dam, U2 Rosebud 1F, a direct daughter of the famous U2 Rosebud 157C, is a lead donor for us that has solidified her place as a high-impact producer, already having raised multiple high-selling offspring that are currently working in top-tier herds. She is the epitome of maternal excellence, possessing the deep-ribbed, broody profile and impeccable udder quality that the Rosebud family is famous for. When you invest in these embryos, you aren’t just buying a pedigree; you are buying a guaranteed “look” and a functional foundation. Expect these offspring to be the front-pasture kind—structurally elite, maternally driven, and highly marketable.

Guaranteeing of 1 90-day pregnancy if implanted by a certified embryologist. Embryos stored at Evolygen QC, and are Canada-qualified.

One of the key components and nucleus here at U2Q. With heavy use and plans to continue on making 157C a main focus here, her progeny sales continue to surge. A daughter in February Freeze just commanded a $100,000 valuation with 157C being a past Spring Thaw high seller when Grand River purchased her for $120,000 for 1/2 interest. The Rosebud cow family has done everything we could ask for and more, and please note she is the dam of the $290,000 Shameless bull. Her match up to Panther offers even more maternal value with power and substance

Rosebud 50M

20 PROGENY IN ONE SALE AVG OVER $20K

7800 is an absolute superstar when it comes to productivity. She was the $120,000-valued donor in the record-setting AAC sale, where we sold 1/2 interest. One major factor was her producing 20 sons in U2’s past bull sale that averaged over $20,000, and the other was the impressive set of daughters now in production. Astounding in shape and unmatched in udder quality, 7800 represents the kind of foundation female every program wishes they had.

A cherished Renown x Net Worth donor who checks all the boxes twice over. This front pasture mama takes maternal function and

level, and is backed by five generations of pathfinders. A maternal sibling to the legendary Emmett’s 2369 and the dam of Checkmate 8158.

Coleman Donna 5207 represents one of the most proven and productive cow families in the Angus breed, combining power, body mass, and the kind of maternal presence that has made the Donna line famous at Coleman Angus. Offered here are embryos sired by two of the most respected bulls in the program — S Right Time 7861 and Coleman Rock 7200. Right Time 7861 is widely known for adding maternal strength, structural correctness, and long-lasting daughters, while Rock 7200 has become a standout for his power, growth, and eye appeal. Combined with the consistency and production record of Donna 5207, these matings stack elite Angus genetics designed to produce high-quality herd bulls and productive replacement females. Opportunities to acquire embryos backed by the Donna cow family and these proven sires are rare and represent a strong genetic investment for progressive cattlemen.

Everelda Entense 5246 represents the kind of powerful, proven Coleman Angus genetics that have built a reputation for maternal excellence and elite phenotype. Sired by the popular Coleman Platinum 2622, these embryos stack generations of productive cow families known for structural integrity, udder quality, and real-world performance. The Everelda cow family continues to produce females with added body, broodiness, and longevity while maintaining the look demanded by today’s cattlemen. This mating offers an opportunity to invest in predictable Angus genetics backed by one of the breed’s most respected programs.

Alcatraz progeny have been in high regard for their tremendous phenotype stamp, their docility, and flawless structure. Alcatraz sold through Hamilton Farms 2019 sale to Bar E-L Angus and Cowtrax Cattle Co. for a Canadian record selling price of $200,000 for one half interest. Alcatraz set a new standard for the definition of what a fault free bovine should look like. He is so impressive in every way - from docility to muscle expression, calving ease and consistently quality semen... there is nothing he doesn’t seem to excel at! Pair this kind of exceptional performance with the many other great qualities that Alcatraz carries through with foot and leg structure, docility, and calving ease and that a recipe for success!!

Kodiak established himself as one of the leading sires in the Canadian Angus industry between 2006 to 2012. He consistently produced progeny that were the ‘Cowman’s kind’ and did so without sacrificing good looks and eye appeal. Kodiak did so many things right back then…things that we are striving to find in the next great herd bull now! Calving ease, performance, thickness, masculinity, scrotal, tight sheath, good feet, daughters with tidy udders, and the list goes on. It is really difficult to name many bulls that check the boxes for that many traits. Kodiak originally sold as an eleven-month-old calf at the 2005 Agribition Masterpiece sale, selling for $45,000 for one half interest. Kodiak went on to sire some breed legends like HF Tiger 5T - $52,000 ½ interest, HF El Tigre 28U - $82,500 ½ interest, Soo Line Motive 9016 - $55,000 ½ interest, besides many, many other sale toppers. Kodiak sired the Grand Champion Pen of 3 Angus Bulls at the 2010 NWSS in Denver for Soo Line Angus. Never before had a Canadian breeder won this prestigious event, let alone a Canadian bred bull being the sire. Kodiak was then put up for auction as a mature bull at the Bases Loaded Sale in Denver where he brought $150,000.usd. Over the past decade, Kodiak’s genetics have proved to be timeless, and his kind of quality and consistency will never get old or outdated. The opportunity to acquire Kodiak semen will be very limited so don’t miss out.

We purchased Showman with Six Mile Angus in the 2019 Schiefelbein Sale where he was the high selling bull at $125,000 USD. We bought Showman to add a new pedigree to our program that would support our efforts to provide easy doing, easy calving, high performance cattle. He has indeed exceeded all our expectations. The first semen kicked off in 2020 commanding the unprecedented price of $1,800/dose, no smoke and mirrors, he is the “Real Deal”, and his progeny seem to be following in his footsteps. He is the true definition of a Curve Bender! Note his EPD’s …. BW +0.7, WW +78, YW +152 and it goes on with “Accuracy”. His sons are super stout with a ton of Angus character, and his heifers exhibit an abundance of volume and capacity while maintaining superior femininity. Showman’s list of accolades when referring to top sellers is too long to list, and the number of bulls that have landed into Purebred Herds is truly uncanny!

Profound was the high selling son of Sitz Stellar 726D in the Sitz spring bull sale, selling to Hollow Top Angus for $70,000 USD. We acquired the Canadian Semen Rights on Profound and added him to our herd bull line up using him extensively over the past number of years. This has provided us with some fresh genetics which are rich in maternal values. Profound is a high performing, calving ease sire with balanced EPD’s, tremendous individual phenotype and flawless structure. His daughters have amazing value as replacement females, developing into beautiful deep bodied, wide based, strong topped, soggy made maidens with great feet and legs and proud Angus demeanor and impeccable udders. Profound is in the Top 15% or less in WW, YW, Scrotal, Claw, Carcass Wt, Marbling, Milk and Longevity with a CBI of +313. Pretty impressive, with his number one son, HF ProStar 97L following very closely in his footsteps, siring high sellers and some of the most sought-after bulls and heifers in the sale this spring.

Northern Prince is a bull that has been on a lot of astute cattlemen’s radar after he was exhibited at the Canadian Western Agribition in 2022. He captured Senior Bull Calf Champion at the show and was destined to be our lead off bull in the 2023 Sale. An injury kept him out of the sale that year, which was a huge disappointment for us as well as the people that had him earmarked! The silver lining is that he eventually returned to health and we could not be happier with his progeny. The daughters we have in production have dropped picture perfect udders with great maternal abilities. Prince comes from a productive donor dam who has “been there and done that.” Eleven maternal brothers to Northern Prince have sold through our bull sale for an average price of $21,000. This includes the high selling bull in 2025, HF Hi-End 9M to Ter-Ron and Bar-E-L for $140,000. And a direct son of Northern Prince started the sale at $40,000 to Hollinger L&C and CSI Angus. We have used Northern Prince on heifers with ease and confidence.

Here is your chance to get your hands on semen from the legendary Sitz Angus program. When we seen 712H we knew we needed to add him to our program.

They are moderate with length, tight udders, perfect foot, and great maternal traits. His sister needs no introduction either, Sitz Pride 200B is in some of the top cows and bulls that have came out of the Sitz program like Stellar 726D.

Gatsby just keeps getting better and better. Since selling in the 2024 Freeze Gatsby has passed every test thrown at him. He froze semen right away, he bred a big group of heifers at Peak Dot for 50 days and then went out and covered another large group at Everblack Angus this summer. He came in sound this fall, fleshed up right away and probably looks better now than he ever has. His muscle, capacity, center body mass and natural fleshing ability have put him in a class of his own. He has the look of a real cowmaker and will sire deep bodied females with quality udders, added softness, style and maternal presence. Gatsby comes with very good performance numbers ranking in the very top 1% of the breed for weaning weight and yearling weight EPDs. He also ranks right near the top for heifer pregnancy rate, milk, hoof claw and docility EPDs. All very important traits. His SAV Seedstock dam is a model Angus cow with ideal body type and unmistakable maternal presence. This Gatsby semen would be an excellent investment, ideal for any conventional or IVF flushing programs.

An exciting offering with as much maternal stacking in one package as we can. Madame Pride 9140G came to us from the 2024 AAC sale for $42,000. The lineage she carries and her daughter in production have made her our go-to cow when we talk about embryo transfer. The matings she carries come with a lot of hype. Grant is the hard to come by sire who’s semen is very valuable as he was the $400,000 sire we’ve all heard of. Also no slouch to the table is the Bedrock option. People who have laid eyes on Bedrock have all positive comments with semen also very hard to come by.
