Jim & Peggy

It is with much pride & enthusiasm we welcome you to Only The Good Ones Sell….

This past fall and winter has certainly been one for the record books, seeing unprecedented market results. Old Man winter has delivered a Grand Champion Winner; it has been a Cabana calving season tat will be reminisced about for many years.

In regards to the offering; the bar has been dramatically raised. The bulls are a solid, rugged group of herd builders. Raised as always in spacious areas to develop with longevity and soundness in mind. The heifers on offer are perhaps the strongest to date; many being the kissing booth kind or breeding treasures.

Please accept this as your personal invitation to be with us March 29. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the sale offering, please call.

35 Years of Excellence - Page 1

OBI is once again pleased to be working with Jim & Peggy Grant from Early Sunset Ranch in their Annual

Bull & Female Sale. The sale title is “Only The Good Ones Sell” and it is true at their place and no exception this year and this is the 35th Sale they are hosting. Congratulations on this amazing feat!

The Angus bulls this year are very unique in their pedigrees with such sires as GDAR Game Day 449, Koupal Juneau 797, Merit 8808 and Daines Heavy Chevy 20A. With also the lead off bulls being the ever so popular Young Dale Xcailber 32X sons. They are a lot of great herdsire prospects in the future for these young bulls. The Simmental bulls on offer are out of such sires as MR TR Hammer ET 308A, CCF Vision, and Hoc Broker; enabling you the customer to have fresh new genetics for your herd. The bulls look as good as any year at Early Sunset Ranch, come and see them for yourself; you will not be disappointed.

The females selected for this year’s sale come right off the top of the Early Sunset program and when visiting with Jim, they are just hard to part with. The opportunity to obtain top end genetics from a progressive breeder like Early Sunset is one that should not be taken lightly. Jim & Peggy have been promoting this progressive herd in the U.S. and such select sales as The Angus Collection Sale and Checkers where they had huge success this year. His program continues to grow very rapidly and the progeny on display this year will impress all.

We at OBI are very familiar with the Early Sunset program and if you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to call us, Jim, or any of the sales staff. See you at Edam, SK. on the 29th of March.

Early Sunset XCaliber 1C is the most talked about bull of the 2015 calf crop. Early in the year he was recognized as one very special calf at the Grant’s. Following that the calf received much recognition and attention from fellow breeders and functions. Today 1C expresses himself even more as an exceptional herd bull prospect. XCaliber 32X continues to surface as a great bull following his dominance as a sire at Young Dale Angus where he sired the record selling Angus Yearling in Canada for $146,000 to Richmond Farms. Most recent his sons were declared Grand Champion Pen of 3 Bulls at the 2016 NWSS; an accomplishment that few sires have ever received. The dam

is a Top Eileen 18 descendant who was purchased in the great Glennie Dispersal. What an influence on the Early Sunset herd she has made. Rarely does an opportunity like this happen. His true value is expressed in a great phenotypical package which has continued to impress each and every day! SELLING 2/3 INTEREST& FULL POSSESSION.

Xcaliber 32X is a massive, stout bull that moves so easy for a powerhouse. We knew he would fit right into our program and that he did siring bulls with size, lots of bone and big hips with great heads on them. His progeny have been sought after at Young Dale including the $146,000 Believe 46B son to Richmond Ranch. The Grand Champion Pen of 3 bulls at Denver 2016 was all XCaliber 32X sons and the lead off bull brought $50,000 for Frye Angus.

A bull we used extensively last year in our A.I. program and the results are great as you will see with the next 8 bulls and 2 heifers, Lots 53 & 54. His maternal strength in his pedigree combined with our cow herd has produced some very easy doing, well muscled progeny that will be an outcross for our repeat buyers.
