crossroad farms 7th annual bull sale

Welcome from Crossroad Farms!

Come anytime to view the bulls prior to the sale.

Gerald, Laurie and Corey.Jody, Jackie, Olivia, Shelby, Jaici and Cooper.

We warmly extend an invitation for you to attend our 7th annual bull & female sale. We have increased the number of bulls in the sale to attempt to accommodate your needs. New this year is the addition of 22 open purebred heifers, they are as good as you will find anywhere and we are confident they will be productive females for their new owners.

We would like to thank all the bidders and buyers from our past sales, many of you traveled long distances to get here and we really appreciate the effort you made to attend. Thank you to our many repeat customers for your continued support and confidence in our program. We have enjoyed getting to know you during the past 16 years of our involvement in the seed stock business and we truly value the many friendships we have made. We want to welcome new customers and we look forward to assisting you with your bull needs. Many customers come to the farm before the sale where they have more time to make their selections. Feel free to stop by the farm anytime, we always enjoy those visits in the bull pen. Tell us about your program and we will try to help you as best we can to make the best choice.

The future has never looked brighter for the beef industry and the commercial cattleman. With beef cattle numbers at a low, the outlook is very positive for prices to remain strong for many years. Simmental genetics have so much to offer, superior maternal traits and performance to produce heavy weight steers and top end heifers to fill the huge demand for replacement females. Choosing a herd bull is one of the most important choices a cattleman has to make. A good bull will pay for himself when you sell his first set of calves. A poor bull, and especially if you keep your replacements, will cost you for years. It really pays to buy the best genetics you can.

The bull sale pictures were taken in November and early December almost three months before our sale date. We wanted to show customers the potential that we see in these bulls at this young age knowing that on sale day they will be purchasing a lot more bull, we hope you like this too. We have also tried to provide enough information in the footnotes to help you make your choices, but if you have any questions, please call, we are always available. Again, our sale offering is strong with good quality and selection, from calving ease to performance with solid genetics that are semen tested and ready to go to work for you.

At this time we would like to say a sincere thank you to our family, friends and neighbors who without hesitation give us a helping hand, before, during and after the sale. Special thanks to Farin Wasden for all her excellent help with our animals and for working week-ends to help me picture. Thank you to Claude Wasden and all the crew working in the back, Jerry, Brian and staff, our good ring men; your work is very much appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday February 20th. If there is a bull you are interested in but are unable to attend the sale, we have again our very reliable and capable sales staff to bid on your behalf. Just let us know or contact anyone of them for professional service.

Come early and enjoy some Crossroad hospitality, there will be lots of food and refreshments. We hope to see you at the sale and our sincere appreciation to all who have expressed interest in our program.

No Bulls Sold Priorto Sale Day!

Welcome to Crossroad Farms Annual Bull Sale. When I was through the Crossroad bull pens in early November, I was given the opportunity to evaluate one of the stout sets of bulls to be on offer in the spring of 2013. There will be bulls in this group that fill the needs of both purebred and commercial producers. Bulls designed for calving ease to top end performance bulls. At Crossroads, all Simmentals are represented- red and black purebreds to every area in the Fullblood division- horned, polled and Full-Flecks.

I urge you to give Gerald, Laurie or Jody a call and discuss your bull needs. Plan to be in attendance at this annual event. I will have been through the pens early in 2013 and will be very familiar with the bulls on offer. If for any reason you are unable to be in attendance sale day, give me a call and we can discuss your bull requirements.

Here is an impressive Stubby son with a ton of potential. Warden has a tremendous hip and is very smooth made. He displays natural muscle and soundness of structure on a moderate frame and I don't know how many miles you would have to drive to find one with this dark of red colour. We could tell from a very young age that he would be an extremely good bull. This super soggy, thick future herdsire also has good growth, excellent testicle development and style to burn. He was a member of our Supreme Champion pen of bulls over all breeds at the Lloydminster Stockade Round-Up in early November. This is the 8th good calf Warden's ten year old dam has produced, we have two good daughters working in the herd and at last year's bull sale a full brother sold to Arnold St. Marie from Vawn, Sk. Warden is one of our feature bulls with endless qualities that we certainly appreciate. We feel he deserves serious consideration. ~Tested Homo Polled~ 3

CROSSROAD WARDEN 36Z 1CRF 36Z PG766459 JAN.08/12 POLLED PB

This is the third amazing calf crop from our LFE 322U “Stubby” homo polled and hetero black herd sire. He produces calves that are stout and full of meat and muscle. His females are moderate, deep bodied and easy doing with lots of style. Our high seller this year at the 3rd annual Source sale in Lloydminster was an awesome Stubby daughter going to Labatte Simmentals/Hay Valley Simmentals for $14,000.00. Stubby has sired several impressive champions and high sellers over the past three years. We are very pleased with the progeny this young herd sire has produced.

Here is an end of February born bull that is moderate in his make up, very square in his lines and profiles extremely well. His mother is an extremely powerful deep sided black cow that is very consistent in her production. Since we purchased her she has raised a heifer that sold at Simmsational to Sharpe Cattle Co. at Rapid City, MB and another daughter in the herd raised the lot 49 Buckeroo bull, be sure to check him out too. Red Reserves dam is an “M” cow and with our strict culling program she must be pretty darn good to stick around here at Crossroads.

An exceptional Stubby calf here that will put that “identity” into your calf crop. Deep red in colour with great hair and a blaze face. Rampart is an extremely thick, wide topped, very well balanced calf that catches your eye when you walk in the pen. His young dam is an imprint of 608Z - dark red in colour with a blaze face, and not bad for her first time at bat. Rampart's grandam is an exceptional cow as well, she is the mother of the lot 38 Steakmaker bull, be sure to check him out. Rampart is a very impressive individual whose style and pattern will catch the attention of many whether it be a seed stock producer or a commercial cattleman. In my mind this is the right kind!!! ~Tested Homo Polled~

Solid red, and has the same consistent qualities as the other Stubby sons offered here today. We purchased his dam a few years ago because she was the best looking bred in the barn and her pedigree was something we had never used before. Unfortunately she became sick this fall and we lost her. Red Recoil will give you predictable results of consistency and performance, you can just sit back and watch your calves pack on the pounds. An excellent choice for your new herdsire.

Pictured in mid-November at a little over 9 months of age, you can certainly see the qualities he has to offer and are sure to be pleased with him come sale day. Pontiac is one of Gerald's favourites. February born, moderate frame, super thick, with plenty of performance. His dam raised twin Stubby heifers last year. We sold one of those excellent daughters at the 3rd Annual Source Sale in December to Curtis Simmentals and Risk & Hope Farms for $6,500. She is going to be one awesome female for her new owners. Pontiac has a great combination of genetics to offer, he is an easy doing, good haired bull that will add thickness and style to your calves. Here is a great opportunity to buy a good one. ~Tested Homo Polled~

Full sibling Crossroad Yozie 435Y

A solid red impressive Stubby son, with a super hair coat, square hip, a great disposition and good performance. This is the 3rd Stubby calf that Diplomat's dam has produced. Her first sold at the 2nd Annual Source sale to Swan Lake Farms at Stoughton, Sk for $9,000 and her last years son

sold to Riverbend Farms at Waldheim, Sk for $7,250. Diplomat is a really good bull that will sire consistent replacement females and steer calves that are

in high demand. ~Tested Homo Polled~

exhibit and he is extremely quiet. His 10 year old fertile dam has given us 10 good calves with 3 females working in the herd and two

A moderate birth weight February born bull pictured in mid-November that shows a lot of potential. He has an excellent pedigree that is many times polled. He is the first calf out of a Stubby daughter and the Dynastorm heifer bull we raised and own together with Strate Lakeside Farm. Black Storm is moderate framed and full of thickness and style.

She did an awesome job in the show ring with her 3 month old calf winning Reserve champion for the current year calf division. I guess I could have waited another month to picture little Black Tie but even at 8 months of age you can see the quality he possesses. We are currently flushing his dam, she has given us an exceptional daughter working in the herd, another daughter sold to McMillen Ranching where she is also in their flushing program and a third daughter sold to Peacock Simmentals at Simmsational 2009.

Arctic is a tremendous bull and we know without a doubt he will sire awesome replacement females and steers long as a freight train full of extra pounds, and That $$$ you can take to the bank!

Here is a full fleck, Harrach embryo bull from a flush we bought from Vaughn Gibbons in Ontario. He purchased this flush cow from the MFI dispersal for $17,000, and we have always had good results with the Harrach sired progeny we have raised, so the choice was easy. This picture was taken when the bull was under 10 months old, so by sale day you will see how his qualities have developed. Long bodied, adequate thickness for his age, great colour with wrap around goggles and super disposition all in a great genetic package for you to assess. If finding your next good herd bull is a “Priority” here he is, just come to the bull sale and put your hand up.

We just love Rusty females, they have been some of our best producing cows. We have tried for years to make the perfect Rusty bull and we have made some good ones, but this one is special. We really admire how this bull profiles, enormous volume, heavy hip, fullness in the flank – qualities you will not find every day. Born in mid-February and pictured here at only 10 months of age, I think you can see his potential. His super uddered mother was named Wildfire because of her dark red colour and she is also loaded with maternal strengths from some of our very best cows. Here is a bull that will be a front runner on sale day. Full Fleck, super body type, double goggles with extra pigment on his face, great hair and very quiet. His name is Crossroad Red Fever – Is he the bull you have been looking for?

Well, Holey Toledo! A Polled Full Fleck bull with performance, colour and style. Sired by our high selling $15,500 polled Crossroad Tuxedo herdsire that sold in our 2008 bull sale to Langer Fleckvieh and Elliot Simmentals. Last year Toledo's dam raised an excellent bull that was purchased by Marcel and Eunice Proulx from Shell Lake. She also produced a daughter that raised an $18,000 bull that sold at last year's sale to Hairy Hill Cattle Co. in Alberta and another daughter was also purchased by Wa-na-la-pa Simmentals from Edson, AB. Toledo has good length, ample thickness, a super disposition and will surely sire some stunning calves. This bull has definite top herdsire qualities.

Radium's 3 year old sister and her calf won Supreme Champion Female at Lloydminster Stockade Round-Up and what a perfect udder she has. Our Radium sisters and daughters are excellent uddered too. It pleases us to hear that other breeders that have used Radium are showing champions and getting top dollar for them. Code Red has extreme length, lots of performance and is a real free and easy moving bull. His great uddered dam is due to have another Radium calf any day now. Code Red will add some stretch and style to your next set of calves. Stop by the farm anytime to check out Code Red and the other 20 Radium sons we are offering at our 2013 bull sale, you will not be disappointed.

An excellent full fleck Bradock son with tremendous volume and rib shape. He shows natural muscling in this picture taken at 11

months of age. Bandana has good bone, is structurally correct and gets out and moves extremely well. His BHR Baron sired dam has an exceptionally good udder and produced a good bull that sold in last year's sale to Triple T Ranch at Gull Lake, Sk. Bandana is a bull with undeniable thickness on a bit bigger frame, and will go out and breed a lot of cows. Just imagine the set of steers this soggy bull will sire.

And here is a small birth weight bull that was born to a heifer with an interesting pedigree. Pictured early, Partner is starting

to show that Radium style with adequate thickness, good colour and hair. I would say he is destined for the heifer pen but would

work well on all types of cows too. If you are looking for a “Partner” to make life easier, then this is the bull for you.

A sweet full fleck, moderate framed dark red heifer with pigment on her face and a good hair coat. The Tuxedo females we have are moderate, great coloured and have nice udders. The Porterhouse Regent and Anchor T Impact on her dam's side gives her added maternal strength. I think she will be a good investment and a nice addition to someone's herd.

We have a half sister working in the herd and another sold at the first Source Sale to Klassen Ranching at Debolt, AB. Her productive grandam raised a bull that sold in our 2010 sale for $10,000 to Doug Marjoram and Darryl Roach. Her 2011 bull sold to Larre Ranching at St. Walburg for $8,100. Her 2012 born is lot 78 in this catalogue, and he is certainly worth checking out! Zunbonnet comes from a strong cow family and is sure to be a good producer for years to come.

A little more compact heifer, well proportioned, great colour and hair coat – a result of some Painter semen given to us by Kent Dollars from

Arkansas. Her Houston grandam is one of our very best cows. Perfect udders from this cow family. Letting this sweetheart go was a tough decision, but we just

can't keep them all.

Only one black heifer in our offering and she is going to make someone an awesome cow. We have Ziola's full sister in our herd or we would never part with her. A super thick, deep bodied, solid black Stubby daughter that is hard to fault. Terrific mother that is naturally quiet and is due to calve shortly. Ziola has a great hair coat, good temperament and balanced EPD's. We are confident she will be a powerful addition to most herds. She is a heifer that could sure kick out some herd bulls.

Newsmaker females are exceptional. We have 30 in the replacement heifer pen, giving us the opportunity to offer some at this sale.
