2015 prairie hills gelbvieh power on the praire sale

Hello and Welcome!We would like to welcome everyone to our annual production sale. 2015

marks 30 years in the registered Gelbvieh seedstock business for Prairie Hills Gelbvieh. In the last 30 years we have seen plenty of changes take place in the beef business. While trends come and go, good cattle are always in demand. We would like to thank all of our friends, neighbors, and customers - new and old - for their continued support and business. The friendships that we’ve made are better than any banner that might hang on the wall. We look forward to helping serve your seedstock needs for the next 30 years!

In recent years we have been increasing our numbers, while maintaining an emphasis on pedigrees and cow families that are out crosses to most herds in the USA and Canada. We still emphasize performance with style. With all of the changes and fluctuations in the cattle market, one thing remains true - performance is necessary in order to make a profit. Keeping this in mind, we strive for a balance of traits that are necessary for a complete herd. Calving ease, maternal ability, disposition, as well as carcass traits are all important and are high on our culling criteria. Last year we put in our first group of embryos and are very pleased with the results. This has allowed us to offer groups of full and half brothers for those who run multiple sire pastures. The embryo calves are a bit younger, but they are still an impressive group of bulls.

The bulls and heifers have been fed a growing ration from Hubbard Feeds. They receive a free choice ration of 12% protein pellets and free choice oat and field pea hay. They also have access to VitaFerm ConceptAid mineral, and a VitaFerm mineral supplement incorporated into the feed ration.

The sale will again be held at the sale facility at Klint & Maralee’s. All cattle will be sold by video, with the bulls and heifers available for viewing within feet of the sale facility. No live animals will be entering the building. We will have the videos available for viewing on our website (www.prairiehillsgelbvieh.com) and the MMS website (www.mms.bz). Any supplemental sale information will also be posted on these two sites. The animals will be available for viewing beginning at 12PM on Friday, February 13th, and 9AM Saturday, February 14th.

We will again be broadcasting the sale live through DVAuction. If you are unable to attend the sale and would like to bid, please contact DVAuction prior to the sale to obtain your bidder information. We will also have people available if you choose to bid over the phone. Please contact Klint, Galen, or any of the MMS staff so arrangements can be made.

We would again like to thank everyone for their support over the years. Please stop by anytime to tour through the cattle and cowherd. If you have questions on any of the animals, please don’t hesitate to contact Galen, Klint, Chris or Randy.

Thank You!Galen and Marcia Sickler Family | Klint & Maralee Sickler FamilyPrairie Hills Gelbvieh

PHG PRAIRIE PHOENIX B101

75% Gelbvieh Bull Registration #:1278867 PHG | B101 4/3/2014 BW: 84 | WW: 738

We are proud to present PHG Prairie Phoenix B101 as our donation animal to the Dickinson Catholic School System’s “Holy Cow Club”. We wanted to choose a top end animal who could go out and really perform for his new owner – Phoenix is that animal. B101 offers an awesome EPD profile that goes well with his eye catching good looks. Straight made and clean fronted, we’ve had our eye on him as a show potential since birth. We purchased his dam from the Beastrom dispersal in 2013 after seeing her last calf in Denver as their futurity bull. This is a top notch, breeder quality bull who combines all the right pieces into a very desirable package! Retaining ½ semen interest.

100% of the proceeds from PHG Prairie Phoenix B101 will be donated to the Dickinson Catholic Schools “Holy Cow Club”. The group was started in 1993 by my grandfather, Albert Sickler, and other area farmers and ranchers as a way of helping to support the school system by donating the proceeds of one calf each year. After about a decade, the group grew smaller and was eventually disbanded. The fire that gutted Trinity High School in March of 2014, and the plans to build a new unified campus, brought the need for additional funding to light. Like the mythical Phoenix, we hope the school will be able to rise from the ashes and be born anew. We are proud that this will be the first animal sold under this reborn group and hope that you will help support this worthy cause. If you are interested in more information, please contact Klint, or the advancement staff at Dickinson Catholic Schools.

BW: 84 | WW: 840

Boomer was our bull futurity nomination for the Canadian Bull Futurity this year, and he made plenty of friends on both sides of the border! Probably one of the best X-Rated sons to date, he has all the qualities of his sire – dark red in color, deep sided, smooth shouldered, and a pedigree that will work in most herds. His mother achieved Dam of Merit status in 2013, and puts one in the top end every year. We think so much of her, she entered our embryo program this summer. Check his performance and you’ll see an 84 pound BW and an 840 WW. He’s presently cranking along at 4.7 pounds per day – that’s the kind of bull that will put money in the bank! Retaining ½ semen interest.

Purebred Gelbvieh Bull Registration #:1278797 PHG | B98 4/2/2014 BW: 85 | WW: 799

Bam Bam is a calf that has been turning heads since our open house in August, and has gotten plenty of attention since then. His dam was imported into the US from Valley Gelbvieh in Alberta as an open heifer, and is a picture perfect example of a Gelbvieh female. Their herd has been closed for many years - these females being some of the only cattle to ever leave the ranch - and as such her numbers don’t reflect the true potential of this female. B98 is a prime example of the type of calves Yukon is producing - deep middled, wide based, and stylish. With an 85lb birthweight and a 799 weaning, PHG B98 is truly a combination bull that gives you the best of performance and calving ease - being homozygous black and polled is just icing on the cake! Put down the paper and take a look at the bull, we’re sure you’ll like what you see! Retaining ½ semen interest.

This is one of Galen’s favorites. Thunder was never shown, but should have had a halter on him. CVV 58P is one of our embryo donor cows, and has sons in this years sale out several different sires, and all of them are high quality. Thunder is 58P’s natural calf, and posted one of the higher weaning weights at 834 pounds. Take a look at his EPD’s - they are towards the top end in all categories. This is definitely a herd bull prospect to check out.

Seedstock producers, gather around! We’re all looking for that next powerhouse red bull that offers the outcross pedigree, top end EPD’s, in a stylish, thick, rock star package. This guy definitely fits that mold. A stand out since he hit the ground, he’s a been a favorite on PHG pasture tours all summer long. He’s long bodied, smooth shouldered, wide topped, big scrotaled, etc etc etc – he’s just darn good. Being dark cherry red and homo polled is just icing on the cake. We considered keeping him back to use in our own herd, but with Bakken still walking pastures and a batch of Why Me daughters around, we just couldn’t put him to use. Retaining ½ Semen Interest.
