your critters too.

Feed shortages though, can be a tool for you to pick

through your herd and select for the animals that really

deserve to be there: which ones are pulling their weight and

who is pulling you down. Don’t miss an opportunity to

For those of you who haven’t bought a bull from us yet, talk

perks that our bulls have to offer: vigorous calves at birth,

As much as there’s lots of talk about the fundamental

economics of the beef industry pointing to strong demand,

high calf prices won’t last forever, and it’s important to plan

The genetics to do so are available here. We focus on

providing bulls that are structurally sound and developed

properly and that will provide you with replacement

grass-converters. Our genetics are some of the best around

Bull Development These bulls have been raised on their mothers milk and grass. Once they were weaned, they were fed at the University of Manitoba’s Glenlea research station where they were tested for Residual Feed Intake (RFI), a

data. In June they were turned out to pasture, where they grew well until the beginning of November 2012. At this time, they came home and received a grass-alfalfa silage ration with 5 lbs of barley and 2 lbs of whole

that they will breed longer for you.Bull Program Bulls can be kept at the Edie Creek Ranch for $3/day until May 1st. After that, the cost will be $5/day. Free delivery available to Ashern Auction Mart. If you haul your bull Sale day we will give you a $50 discount on each bull. Bulls MUST be insured if they are to be kept on our farm.

T E R M S A N D C O N D I T I O N S The terms of sale are cash or cheque. Settlement to be made immediately after the completion of the sale. The right of property will not pass until after settlement is made. Bulls will not be released until settlement is made.

Announcements and Changes: All announcements and changes made from the auction block will take precedence over the printed matter in this catalogue. Buyers are therefore cautioned to pay close attention to any such announcements.Purchaser's Risk: Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as the

Liabilities: All persons attending the sale do so at their own risk and sellers assume no liability, legal or otherwise, for any accidents occurring in or about the premises.

G U A R A N T E E : All bulls evaluated for breeding soundness and semen quality by Dr. Eric Maguet of Beausejour Animal Hospital. We guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull at the point of sale. Should your bull fail to be a satisfactory breeder, he will be replaced with a bull of equal value or a credit will be given towards the purchase of another bull. We will not provide the replacement or credit for a bull that is physically injured or mismanaged. It is the responsibility of the buyer to insure their bulls.

“*****” BULL EVALUATIONS E X P L A I N E D : Calving Ease: Based on the bull's birthweight, his parents' birthweight, and his own EPD's. Also based on the assumption that the bull will be breeding small-framed Angus/British cattle--if the bull will be breeding larger-framed Continental cattle, a three-star (***) bull may work on heifers without any trouble. These are simply guidelines to help your decision making. You are ultimately responsible for the matings of your own cattle. Calving Ease Rating: "*" - Suitable for breeding cows only - 100lb+ Birthweights possible“**”- Suitable for breeding smaller cows-90 lb+ Birthweights’s possible"***" - Suitable for breeding cows and larger-framed, mature heifers - 85 lb BW’s"****" Suitable for breeding heifers + cows too - 84 lbs or less“*****” PURE HEIFER BULL, easy deliveries with vigorous calves at birth!

Udder Rating:Based on the quality of the dam's udder structure and teat shape and size. Rated between "1" - "5", a score of "3" would be an average, functional udder, while a score of "5" would be a perfectly level udder with small, shapely teats.

Forage Rating:Designed to predict the ability of the bull's offspring to thrive in a forage-only environment. The forage rating is also a suitable indicator of the bull's own ability to stay in good flesh on a low-energy ration ("easy-keeping-ness"). Rated between "1" - "5", a score of "3" would be moderately easy fleshing, while a score of "5" would be very easy fleshing and his offspring would finish on forages alone.

“The Red Angus bulls came off pasture looking really good--they kept their shape better than the other bulls.” -- Hans Myhre, Dauphin, Manitoba

“I learned of the Edie Creek Ranch breeding program through a Manitoba contact and was drawn to their focus on grass based genetics. My choice to purchase from Edie Creek was easy after visiting the farm and witnessing the well structured bulls on offer. My Edie Creek bull has brought an excellent work ethic to the ranch, providing us with a tight calving interval that had been stretched by low-fertility bulls in the past. The calves he fathered birthed easily, and rapidly developed into easy doing blocky calves

The Edie Creek team has been very supportive and we maintain a strong, much appreciated relationship. I’m sold on the Edie Creek program and will continue to harness the genetic potential of their herd.”-- Cedric MacLeodPresident, Local Valley BeefCentreville, New Brunswick
