FROM THE DESK OF T BAR C...

Welcome to the 20th Annual “Best of the Breeds” Bull Sale on Sunday, March 24, 2024, at Heartland Livestock, Yorkton, Saskatchewan. It has taken twenty years...but well worth the “weight!”

2024 is the largest and strongest lineup ever presented by the Best of the Breed consignors. In the past twenty years this sale has been a “onestop” shopping center in supplying value added sires for both commercial and purebred sectors alike. These breeds, the Whites, the Sims, the Gups and the Red and Black Angus compliment themselves in producing the ideal feeder calf and replacement heifers.

The Charolais offering is exciting...the Harcourts offer sons of Summit, Badge, and Patriot...homo polled, full of muscle and capacity. Dog Patch introduces a new outcross in Ruger, and the big weaning sire Highlight as well as a large lineup of sons by the predictable Houston. A great set of bulls with breeder potential. The folks at Fairview bring the strongest set of bulls since inception. What a Fleck/Fullblood offering they present. Mainly polled, and homo polled, this is one of the largest offerings of Fullbloods in the country. The Purebreds are hairy, rugged, and will work with all types of programs...reds, blacks, and blazes. Fairview can fill your Simmental needs.

Blair and family bring you a top set of Gelbvieh prospects sired by Hitch and Element. All homo polled...red in colour with one black heifer bull. These bulls are optimum in calving ease and will add pounds at weaning...you’ll want to keep their daughters for replacement pastures.

Black Ridge Angus offer sons of Homegrown, a new sire in their program...you will like their style, shape and hair with optimal birth weight. Sons of Bravo will add power, while Bankroll will add length and the DeWalt’s will add maternal replacement strength into his female progeny.

The boys at Twin Heritage offer an exciting presentation sired by Helix...bulls with calving ease and maternal strength where you will want to keep all the daughters. Consistent in type and kind the Helix sons will add style and eye appeal.

Plan to be with us on March 24th in person, on the phone or online, and do not hesitate to give any of us at T Bar a call as we can assist you with your purchases in a professional and confidential manner.

CHRIS POLEY

TWIN HERITAGE FARMS

Welcome to another bull sale season and thank you for your interest and support of our program throughout the years. The bulls that we have this year are backed by proven genetics and a cow herd built with an emphasis on fertility, sound udder structure, and good feet. We welcome you to check out the herd and mothers of these bulls in person as we are confident that you will be hard pressed to find a bad foot or udder. We take great pride in having developed a herd focussed on these important attributes that are all too often overlooked.

We started the bulls a little later with feed this year but you can be assured, they will be ready to breed when you need them. We continue to pail feed a balanced bull developer ration to ensure responsible development and longevity with access to free choice hay, mineral, and water. The weights provided are actuals with WW taken early in the fall on August 28 and YW taken on February 11.

It’s always good to see you on sale day, but if you are not comfortable attending the sale in person, for whatever reason, please stop by the farm in advance or give one of us a call if you have any questions. We encourage you to check out our website at www.twinheritage.com for viewing of the bull sale videos. Also, head over to DLMS.com if you have not already signed up to view and bid online.

RED ANGUS BREED AVERAGES

REFERENCES

This is the second set of sons to be sold out of our Helix 635H bull. We are extremely impressed with how easy the Helix calves were born and how the bulls have developed. The sons have calving ease appeal with moderate BW, length, and style. Helix’s exceptional dam has been a long-time herd matron and donor cow at Wilbar. It is evident from the first calf heifers, that the Helix 635H daughters will impress with strong maternal traits and tidy even udders. These sons are noted for their balance, length of body, testicle development, and calving ease appeal.

RED TER-RON JAILBIRD 28J

RED TER-RON SHOWDOWN 9G (Sire)

RED TER-RON GOLDIE 840T (Paternal Granddam)

We bought Jailbird 28J for dedicated use in our heifer pen. He calved extremely well on heifers, and we like the consistency we are seeing with a bit of an outcross genetic base. Unfortunately, we no longer have Jailbird 28J, but his group of sons are noted for the style, moderation, and balance with moderate birthweights.

We were looking for a few herd bulls when we found Visionary 190J. We liked his dam and appreciated the style and overall look of 190J. We used him selectively on a few heifers and cows and he worked well adding style and performance. We no longer have Visionary, but he left us with a few more impressive bull calves this year.

• Smooth fronted long bull with excellent testicle development and dark foot.

• Bullet proof proven maternal genetics.

• Dam is a good uddered Detour daughter tracing back to the Rachel 42Z herd matron.
