Canada’s Only Leptin Tested Gelbvieh Bull Sale

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Twin Bridge Farms and Guests Bull and Female Sale. We are happy to have both the Ness family back againthis year as well as Carlson Cattle Company joining us. Like many Gelbvieh breeders we purchased our first bulls and females from the Carlsonsso it is an honour to have them as part of this sale. What a year 2013 was for the beef industry. We saw record high cull and calf prices as the demand for beef increases. It was great to see steercalves selling for over $1000 last fall and some top end bred females going for $2000. With barley prices so conservative the feedlots are goingto make a big profit on those expensive calves. They are sure to be willing to pay big prices again next fall. It is more important than ever tobe using the best genetics we can and keep a youthful herd sire battery. More than ever each extra pound we can raise and every cow that is incalf makes a bigger difference on our bottom line. On March 17th the bulls on offer have those genetics that will progress youroperation. There are performance bulls to raise those scale busters in the fall,low birth weight bulls to make calving season stress free and of course all ofthem should produce those females that the Gelbvieh breed is known for. Backby popular demand there will be a select offering of females again this year.They meet the same high standards as the bulls. New this year the sale cattle will be Leptin tested. The Leptin gene causescattle to produce leptin, which is associated with appetite. This increase inappetite in turn increases weight gain, carcass grade, milk production, fleshingability and ultimately profit. Cattle can have no copies of the gene (CC or 0%positive), one copy (CT or 50% positive), or two copies (TT or 100% positive).With each additional copy of the gene the traits above will increase incomparison to animals that are genetically similar otherwise. Contact eithermyself, Lon or check out www.carlsoncattlecompany.com for more information.All cattle selling will be vet checked and the bulls will be semen tested. Sellersare willing to keep purchases until Apr.15 and deliver them within 200 milesfree of charge. Please contact sellers ahead of time if you would like purchaseskept later or delivered farther so we can work with you.Please join us on March 17th and let us be your host for St. Patrick’s Day. Makesure to get there early for complimentary lunch and stay after for refreshmentsand socializing. I’m sure there will be some green beer.

Sincerely, Aaron Birch

Heavy Hauler is a powerful bull that has a rare combination of length, depth andthickness without being extreme in his frame. He was part of our show team last fallwhich is no surprise with the pedigree he is backed by. The Morgan cow family hasexcelled in our program with 7 descendants represented in this year’s sale. Weconsider his sire to be the best AI sire we have ever used. His daughters are exactlywhat we want: easy fleshing, high producers, perfect udders and mid-sized. The fewsons we have produced from him have done well, including Iron Man who sold toNelson Gelbvieh and sired their highest selling sire group last spring.

Marshall has that rare combination of both power and style that is hard to pass by,which is why he was part of our show string last fall. Although the youngest in thepen he sure doesn’t look it. He was our top gaining bull at 4.19 lbs/day. With so muchperformance he is very smooth fronted and has plenty of extension so calving fromhim should be a breeze. This is what we have come to expect from his amazing dam,another Marion female, that we have flushed in our ET program. Her sons sold lastyear to Circle T Gelbvieh and Hawkeye Ranches and we have retained 4 daughters inour program. Marshall is a definite herd sire candidate. Homozygous Polled. 50%Leptin positive.
