Rancher’s Choice2

The first thing you will notice is we have moved the sale back a

month to April 22 at 2 pm. After hitting 3 blizzards in a row in March

we hope April will give us better weather.

35 years ago when I went to the U of S the first lesson in

economics 101 was supply and demand. If there is less supply of

a commodity the demand is greater and the price goes up. The

more the supply the less the demand and the price softens. This

certainly applies to the cattle business today. The cow numbers are

way down so the demand for the tight supply of feeder cattle and

cull cows and bulls is giving us ranchers some great prices. My

neighbor sold his 800 lb. steer calves in mid Feb. and netted close

to $1200( needless to say we had a few drinks after the sale).

Further good news is unlike the pigs and chickens we can’t

increase our cow numbers over night so it looks like these good

prices are here for a while.

Bill Dillabaugh went through the bulls. He told me they may be

the best set of bulls we have raised. I know they are as a consistent

set as we have ever offered. They are athletic, strong bulls that will

put extra pounds on your calves.

Angus cattle and grain farming have been very good to me. I

can’t think of a better environment to raise a family. Son Ryan and

nephew Lindsay continue to take on bigger roles on the farm. My

three girls are all married to successful men in the oil business.

Susan’s daughter Taylor is in 2nd year college on her way to a

nursing degree. With 11 grandkids our life is never dull!!!

Ranchers Choice sired calves continue to top calf and yearling

prices through-out Alberta and Saskatchewan. April 22 is your

chance to get Ranchers Choice influence in your herd. See you

in Medicine Hat!!

Caring For Yearling BullsThere are so many theories on how cattle should perform,

some sound, some not so sound. The Holstein cow is veryefficient in converting feed into milk and this may be done bythe Holstein in a controlled environment. This enables thedairyman to produce a very inexpensive product.

The consumer is demanding lean, tasty, tender beef at aninexpensive price. How do we produce this? That is thequestion! Tender meat comes from young animals. So wehave to have fast growing animals that can grade and weigh1,250 to 1,350 pounds at 13 to 14 months of age.

The bulls that sire carcasses like this need to have explosivegrowth and fleshing abilities. They also have high metabolismso they may utilize and convert feed when exposed to it. Asa result these young bulls are still growing fast at 13 to 14months old when they are turned out to breed. They cannotget enough feed to maintain their growth and muscle massand breed cows at the same time. Something has to give.These young bulls will not stop breeding, and likely theirskeleton growth will not stop. It then means something elseneeds to give. The result is quite often a rapid drop incondition of the yearling bull.

A slower growing bull can maintain himself better, but hisoffspring will not convert feed well and they will reach marketat a later date, possibly adding a little to the toughness of themeat. There can be a fine line in these genetics and we mustguard against hard doing animals. However, after breedingseason the majority of these good young bulls should be puton good feed and are then able to convert feed and rapidlyregain their body mass. If they can do this it is an indicationthat they are easy doing cattle.

When the breeding season is completed these goodyearling bulls that have good feed conversion and growthrates must be exposed to feed that compliments their rapidrate of gain to get their body mass in acceptable conditionfor winter.

This is why these young bulls should not have to competeat the feed bunk with older herd bulls. If you feed all the bullswith enough energy and protein for these young bulls, thenthe old bulls may become too fat by spring, particularly if theolder bulls are easy converters. As a two-year-old the growthcurve has leveled out and the bull is more able to look afterhis body needs.

The best feed for yearling bulls is a high quality hay and 1.5per cent of his body weight for a balanced grain or pelletration. That is a 1,450 pound bull needs to be exposed to freechoice, high quality hay and approximately 15 to 20 poundsof a balanced ration.

A young bull looked after in his first year could possibly giveone or two more years as a breeding bull and that wouldmake those few extra dollars to feed him properly look prettycheap.

Rancher’s Choice4

Hello Everyone,

A year has passed, and it seems like yesterday Iwrote for Kim’s 2012 sale catalog. I am enjoying semi-retirement. Don, Lloyd, Reish and I farm 1000 acres andlook after Kim’s cows in the summer as he uses ourpastures.

I want to thank Kim Robertson and Matt Fleury forletting me be a small part of their operations. I have tencows at Matts and ten cows at Kim’s. They let me helpwith their sales and also some input on their herd bullselection. (This input is also sometimes monetary). But,oh do I have an interest in some great herd bulls.

The above allows me to do what I enjoy most. A coldday in February, Kim phoned to say “your heifer justcalved”. This cattle business gets easier as one getsolder.

Kim again has a great set of bulls. All his herd bullsare represented with some great calves in the sale. Thisspeaks well of the great cowherd and cow families atSaskalta.

Kim runs his cattle more like the commercial ranchthan any purebred operation I know of. He does notcreep feed his calves so the weaning weights are clearlyon how the mother milks and the great genetics he has.

There are some straight Canadian bulls in the sale,people interested in these cattle should have a look. Aranch needing a number of bulls can find them at thissale priced reasonable.

If you are in the cattle business, this is a must attendsale.

In the event that your bullis a non-satisfactory breeder the seller will not, under any circumstances, beresponsible for more than the original selling price of any bull or female soldin the sale. The consignors will not provide replacement or credit for physicalinjury or mismanagement. Therefore we stress the importance of insurance onyour bull. An insurance agent will be available on sale day.

TERMS OF SALE - Terms are cash or cheque. No sale entries will be releaseduntil satisfactory settlement has been made.
