#407, 4808 Ross StreetRed Deer, Alberta T4N 1X5

Welcome to our 8th Annual Bull Sale.

I’m in between jotting down a few footnotes and heading out to checkcows in a -35 wind chill and I’m thinking to myself, “ where are all the red-necks with their diesel pushers to warm up this environment a little?” Nothinglike a good old fashioned Canadian winter to make a person appreciate the finerthings in life….like a warm bed.The Southern Alberta area experienced one of its most productive summers in recent his-

tory. Anyone that wasn’t hailed out seemed to be enjoying bumper crops. Top that off with theway this cattle market is at all time highs, the outlook for the agriculture industry, and especiallythose of us in the cattle business, is finally in a sustainable mode.Speaking of cattle, the bulls we have for sale this year were picked out of 340 mother cows. We think we cull hard,

and we do believe that our bulls will speak for themselves. (Not sure why I spent 2 weeks writing footnotes, if theycan do the talking). Needless to say, I do believe that for the commercial cattleman out there… our bulls may not bemanaged to the extent they could be, or presented with the flair they should be, but $ for $ we can rival most outfitsin the industry with the quality from top to bottom. If you wonder why I say most, and not all, it’s because we’re al-ways trying to improve.

The bulls were weaned in late October this year, which is a good month later than they should have been. Theyare a bit greener this year than they were last year, which I think, is a good thing. I’ve tried to describe the bulls in asmuch as whether they’d be suitable for heifers or cows, and I feel very confident in the bulls marked as calving ease. If you have any questions about the bulls please feel free to give me a call, or talk to one of our sale staff. Hope to

see you sale day, whether you need a bull or not.

16 Sons SellRollin Deep is a bull that has created a lot of interest in the Red Angus

industries since his purchase by Thistle Ridge and Silver Spur in the springof 2012. We had to find a partner to afford him, and $33,000 later he’s nowa herd bull at our place. He’s built like you want them, thick and deep in amoderate frame. This is his 1st calf crop available for sale in Canada, andwe truly believe that as a group you’re going to love them. Other cattlementhat have seen him have appraised him high, with his 1st semen offered forsale fetching as high as $350 per straw. The added bonuses that we hadn’tanticipated are that his calves are docile, and he’s a sure fire heifer bull.

11 Sons SellWe haven’t bought many bulls that we weren’t blown away about one

aspect or another about him. I can’t say that for BulletProof. When I wentdown to look at the bull we had bought sight unseen, the one thing I cameaway thinking is that, even though he didn’t give me that “wow” factor, Icouldn’t find a hole in him. The more I thought about that, the more im-pressed I became with the bull. He calves like a dream, and when it’s allsaid and done, all his indexes for performance and carcass are just slightlyabove average. We think you’ll see that in his calves.

14 Sons SellEndorse is the $41,000 high selling Red Angus bull in the SSS 2011 bull

sale. We bought the Canadian semen rights on him, and haven’t lookedback yet. His bull calves are exhibiting that big top and thick hind end thatimpressed us about him in the 1st place, but those daughters of his thathave just started milking are going to be the envy of sale selectors every-where. Man do they look good.

6 Sons SellUsed exclusively on heifers the 1st year, and the next two as a clean up

bull, Storm will definitely be moved up the line up and given a bigger rolenext year. He’s got a lot of good things going for him. We believe he’s a footimprover, the daughters milking look picture perfect, he calves like a dream,and his carcass is outstanding.

6 Sons SellLost pre-maturely, Nebula didn’t get to see as much action as we

would have liked. Thick, easy keeping, good footed cattle is what he leftus. Our high sellers last year were out of 89X.

It’s amazing what a little creep feed will do. Thiscalf weaned off the cow at 1018 lbs in early Octo-ber. We had plans of showing him and his dam atAgribition but, like most plans, they didn’t quitecome together. He’s a meat wagon, and his dam isabout as nice a put together Angus cow as youwould want. Definite herd bull potential.

A few theories on….. Carcass evaluatingIn searching for another herd bull, I’ve been noticing lately how much emphasis is being put on carcass EPD’s. Even though I’m

not a big EPD fan, it is something I will pay attention to, especially in regards to carcass quality. The problem I’m having is finding theinformation in a given catalog that will actually do me any good. The data I’m really looking for that will help me find the bull that willbe most profitable for us is usually never published. For instance, to tell you marbling and REA numbers, without telling you LeanMeat Yield and Fat numbers, is very misleading. Having an incredibly high marbling EPD is great. Unless it comes with an incrediblyhigh Fat EPD. Too much fat = too much waste = less LMY. Angus cattle in general DO NOT have a marbling problem. They have ayield problem. We are still selling pounds of beef, and under virtually no grid program are over fat animals being paid a premium. Youcan lose a lot of money on a pen of straight Angus cattle if your only criteria is marbling.To not give the fat score along with yourLMY is really not giving a fair representation of the true value of that carcass. Our LMY score this year is off of where I’d like to see it.But it is there for you to be the final judge of what value to put on that carcass.Like I said, I’m not a big EPD fan. They are too easily manipulated. Funny thing though, in searching the Angus Association websitefor RED bull calves born in 2013 with a .50 Marbling EPD and a .50 REA EPD and +0.00 Fat EPD, Thistle Ridge Ranch produced themost bulls. Maybe I’m starting to like those EPD’s a bit more now.

16 Sons SellDiablo is a bull that is getting a ton of attention south of the border. His

latest son to sell brought $16,000 at the Black Hills Stock Show in SouthDakota, and in excess of $50,000 worth of semen has been sold on Diabloin the States alone. His 1st daughters are milking and look terrific, and hisstylish sons continue to impress all who see them. A former Denver GrandChampion, McLeod Livestock and Thistle Ridge are currently the onlyplaces in Canada to get Diablo offspring.

10 Sons SellA calving ease bull bought from Justin Dickoff in South Dakota, 90W bull

calves have a lot of flair to them. The dam to Cattlelac is a prolific flush cowwith an impressive track record for producing herd bulls. The Firewater in-fluence has given him a showy appeal to the calves, but the basic necessi-ties of good growth, moderate birth, lots of hair, strong feet and legs, andthe added bonus of being an above average carcass sire, make him a goodchoice for those wanting high quality steers.

8 Sons SellA high performance sire whose leaving behind a great set of working

bulls. All the bulls sired by 524W are out of cows we purchased from thePerrot-Martin dispersal. Close to 300 calves registered out of this bull inCanada, so there’s no guess work on his capabilities here.

“Bulls wereweaned a little later this year.

Not surewhere the time went.”

In order to use body composition EPD’s or ultrasound data to itsfull potential, a breeder must have an understanding of ultra-sound terminology. Several of the ultrasound measurements arecomparable to the familiar carcass measurements. The data issimply collected on yearling bullsa and heifers instead of marketready steers. Take a step back from looking at the numbers andbecome comfortable with the terminology.

ULTRASOUND CARCASS MEASUREMENTSRibFat/Backfat: An external fat measurement taken betweenthe 12th and 13th rib reported in inches. Rib fat is the main traitthat affects percent lean meat yield ie; A1, A2, A3 & A4. Percentlean meat yield is the calculation that estimates the percent oflean muscle on the carcass. For example, a lean meat yield of60% on a 100lb carcass would have 600 lbs of lean muscle and400 lbs of bone and fat.Ribeye Area (REA): An area measurement of the loin or ribeyemuscle. Reported in square inches. While an increase in backfatwil lower the percent lean meat yield an increase in REA will raisethe percent lean meat yield.Rump Fat: An external fat measurement taken from an imagecollected between the hooks and the pins of the animal.Re-ported in inches. The rump fat measurement, coupled with therib fat measurement will increase the accuracy of percent leanmeat yield.Intramuscular Fat (%IMF)/Marbling: This measurement deter-mines the amount of fat within the muscle. Reported in %. Thismeasurement us used to determine the quality grade of the car-cass.
