Second Annual

High PointCharolais Breeders Bull Sale

Saturday, March 30, 2013, 6 p.m.Deer Lake Farms, Singhampton, ON

Featuring: 24 yearling bulls

Welcome to the 2nd annual High Point Charolais Breeders Bull Sale. As the saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun,” and the past 12 months have surely flown by. For the most part these are fun days in the beef business. Worldwide consumer demand for beef is growing while every article I read speaks of the decline in cow numbers. For a variety of reasons, the cull cow run last fall was absolutely astounding. While other factors may still come in to play, one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that given increased demand and a decreased cow herd, beef prices have only one way to go! How long will this trend continue? Well it takes five years from the birth of a heifer calf until she produces a market ready animal, so I think we’ve got some time on our side. Being cattle producers, these are fun things to think about.

Given the current scenario, I feel stronger than ever before about the importance of using Charolais bulls regardless of the color of your cow herd. More pounds = more dollars in your pocket at the end of the day. Charolais and char-cross calves simply weigh more than the rest come sale day. This has been proven time and again by so many commercial cattlemen who have tried something else and are now back buying Charolais bulls.

I believe we have another great set of bulls on offer this year. Coming from three uniquely different programs there is certainly a bull or two that will work on your cows. Please talk to us prior to the sale as we know our bulls, you know your cows, and it’s so important to get the right match. Helping you make more money from your cows enables us to continuing doing what we love to do. We truly want to partner with you in the cattle business and make certain our bulls exceed your expectations. We invite you to come see them in their home environment anytime. Rest assured they come from a fully vaccinated cow herd, they have been semen tested and they are ready to go to work. Looking forward to seeing you sale day!

EPDs: BW -0.8 WW 46 YW 81 M 24.5 TM 47

45Z is a high performance, deep ribbed bull that is sure to add pounds and thickness to his calves. His momma is a perfect uddered Freedom daughter and his milk and total-maternal numbers suggest he will sire similar females. Being from our show string he is a halter-broke gentle giant.

Sunrise Commander 47ZJBF 47Z January 11, 2012 Polled MC344825BW: 106 ADJ 205: 838 ADJ 365: 1347Sire: Merit Roundup 9508W (MXS Vermillion 527R)Dam: HC Georgia 9X (SVS Nobleman 25N)

EPDs: BW 2.5 WW 55 YW 106 M 25.3 TM 53

The judge at Shelburne Fall Fair said he walks “smooth like a cat on the prowl” after placing him 1st in his class. He is without question the best footed, strongest legged bull we have ever raised and he moves beautifully. Merit Roundup is becoming very well known in the Charolais breed and here’s why. Just take a close look—there are an awful lot of things right about this future herd sire. Retaining a 1/4 semen interest

Sunrise Remarkable 50ZJBF 50Z January 27, 2012 Polled MC344950BW: 100 ADJ 205: 740 ADJ 365: 1249Sire: SVY Kaboom PLD 7113T (MXS Vermillion 527R)Dam: WHC Xtra Cute 17X (EC No Doubt 2022P)

EPDs: BW 0.0 WW 37 YW 80 M 21.1 TM 40

Sunrise Remarkable is truly that: he puts it all together in a moderate package. With heifer-approved bulls on both sides of the pedigree, calving ease should come naturally. He’s actually out of a first calf heifer I purchased from Whiskey Hollow and his weaning weight proves the fact that she’s a milking machine.

Sunrise Thunder 55ZJBF 55Z February 5, 2012 Polled MC348713BW: 90 ADJ 205: 699 ADJ 365: 1171Sire: Sunrise Holden 101X (Pleasant Dawn Marshall 25U)Dam: Sunrise Payton 7X (SVY Kaboom PLD 7113T)

EPDs: BW 0.2 WW 31 YW 63 M 21.6 TM 37

Here’s a bull that’s a touch different in style from the rest of our bulls. He is extremely thick, clean fronted, clean sheathed and has a great neck extension, but he carries it all just a little closer to the ground. Often good things come in small packages and I think that holds true here too.

You want a bull with performance…. then take a look here. First look at his birth date—yes he’s an April baby. Now check out his 205 and 365, look at the yearling weight EPD, now look at him. Phenomenal performance and guess what, sale-barns are still selling calves by the pound. Even better, his Junction mother is one of our best milking cows.
