The Right Choice1

Rancher’s Choice2

Another year has come and gone (the older I get the faster time

goes) and two more grandkids have arrived, Cole and Bentley. This

brings the total to ten grandchildren. There is always interesting

conversation when they come to the farm and go with grampa to

check the cows. Everything from “why is that bull jumping on that

cows back” to “why do all your cows have “price tags” in their

ears. The best thing is they are all healthy and full of piss and

vinegar, and Sue and I are thankful for that.

This year I think we bring you the most even set of bulls we

have ever produced. We continue to use a lot of Canadian

pedigrees. They are bred to thrive in our harsh environment, with

extra hair and muscle. We believe the Canadian cattle have

stronger feet and legs to travel over our harsh terrain. Our cow herd that

produces these bulls is second to none. We have a lot of Double AA,

Bill Dillabaugh influence in our cows and every rancher with Angus

knows what that great herd has done for the breed.

Finally!!! The cattle market has improved to the point where us

rancher’s are making a little money. The profits are small right now, but

it’s a start. On Jan 1/11 there were 92.6 million head of cattle and calves

in the U.S. This is the lowest inventory since 1958. The U.S. calf

crop in 2010 was 35.7 million head, the lowest since 1950.

Meanwhile, the U.S. population is up 30% since the 50’s. With the

rest of the world’s population growing and becoming wealthier, I

think us Rancher’s should be very optimistic about the cattle

industry over the next few years.

RANCHER’S CHOICE calves continue to top calf sales

throughout Saskatchewan and Alberta. March 28 is your chance to

put some RANCHER’S CHOICE influence in your herd. Hope to see

you then.

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

some sound, some not so sound. The Holstein cow is very ef-ficient in converting feed into milk and this may be done by theHolstein in a controlled environment. This enables the dairy-man to produce a very inexpensive product.

The consumer is demanding lean, tasty, tender beef at an in-expensive price. How do we produce this? That is the ques-tion! Tender meat comes from young animals. So we have tohave fast growing animals that can grade and weigh 1,250 to1,350 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. As aresult 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 mass andbreed cows at the same time. Something has to give. Theseyoung bulls will not stop breeding, and likely their skeletongrowth will not stop. It then means something else needs togive. The result is quite often a rapid drop in condition of theyearling bull.

A slower growing bull can maintain himself better, but his off-spring will not convert feed well and they will reach market ata 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 rapidly re-gain their body mass. If they can do this it is an indication thatthey are easy doing cattle.

When the breeding season is completed these good yearlingbulls that have good feed conversion and growth rates mustbe exposed to feed that compliments their rapid rate of gainto get their body mass in acceptable condition for winter.

This is why these young bulls should not have to compete atthe feed bunk with older herd bulls. If you feed all the bulls withenough energy and protein for these young bulls, then the oldbulls may become too fat by spring, particularly if the olderbulls are easy converters. As a two-year-old the growth curvehas leveled out and the bull is more able to look after his bodyneeds.

The best feed for yearling bulls is a high quality hay and 1.5per cent of his body weight for a balanced grain or pellet ration.That is a 1,450 pound bull needs to be exposed to free choice,high quality hay and approximately 15 to 20 pounds of a bal-anced ration.

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

OBSERVATIONS - by bill dillabaughI stopped at Saskalta a couple of weeks ago and toured the sale bulls, mother cows, heifers and herd bulls. The cattle were strong -

strong meaning a little more length, frame and muscling. The sale bulls were uniform, correct, well muscled, not stuffed or over fed. Thewhole herd stood out with attractive heads and proper front shoulders. Cows have those important feminine fronts, good spring of rib,proper stifle development tied strongly into the hocks. These desirable traits are being passed down to all the young cattle.

Saskalta breeding program has kept pace and out distanced a lot of the shorter, smaller framed cattle that are being promoted today.The only constant in breeding cattle is so much a pound. Height, color, different breeds, beefalo, all sorts of numbers don’t make muchdifference when selling calves. If you don’t have the pounds and the genetics to make the grade, quality and branded beef criteria youwon’t top the markets.

Saskalta cattle have the stretch and scale that is needed to top all the markets today. Their scale allows them to compete with anycrossbred, and remember they have all the great Angus traits that are needed on our large farms and ranches. They are bred inSaskatchewan to perform trouble free in our Canadian climates.

Angus Traits – branded beef programs are pulling this type of beef up through the markets. In the past we as cattle producers raisedwhat we liked and pushed this product up to the consumer or other countries, telling them this is what you want (we all know how muchmoney we made). There is a lot of tradition in the primary beef producers. No one likes change. Well change is here. Ask the order buyerswhat type of cattle they can pay the most for. Contact the packers and find out what genetics makes his top selling beef and what weighthe needs in these finished carcasses. Rule of thumb - the weight of the mother cow is when her steer calf peeks (1350 lbs. mother cow -steer will finish at approximately 1350 lbs.). Cattle that are being pulled up through the markets eat the same as the ones we push through.

Take the time you spent pushing your product and go buy some bulls that will give you what the market wants.I have observed at many fall sales some ranches continually top the market sometimes from five to ten cents. Some ranches bring the

same type of calves in year after year and take five to ten cents less at the same sales. Same hard working people. That ten cents is thedifference if you are pushing your product on the market or the market is pulling your cattle through it. Change is hard but necessary.

Rancher’s Choice bulls can help you make this change.

DNA TESTING - The Canadian Angus Association now requires that any sireof a calf to be registered with the CAA must be DNA tested. Rancher's Choicesale bulls have not been DNA tested.

DELIVERY - Bulls will be delivered to central points within a three hundredmile radius on a $2500.00 purchase or more. We are again asking our cus-tomers to please bring their trailers and help us.

BULL WARRANTY - We guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bullcapable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. 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. Animals for export may not bereleased unless payment has been received prior to departure. Registrationpapers will be supplied upon completion of sale transaction , including pay-ment in full.
