Bonchuk Farms Production Sale - Transcon Livestock Corporation

Sale Welcome
Thank you to all who have supported us this past year. While it was a diffi cult fall, we offer our heartfelt gratitude and wish that everyone come
celebrate with us. On December 19th, at the Solsgirth hall, we will be providing a wonderful lunch as we sell some stellar females and extend some
old-fashioned fun to set the Christmas season off right!
It has been a long haul in the beef world, but the industry has fi nally taken an upturn. Even the most optimistic are leery, but we remain positive that
the future of beef production and the importance of Simmental genetics are going to trail blaze into the New Year.
While we typically calve out over 100 bred heifers each year, we just don’t have the capabilities to ‘keep them all’. So, we are offering a large group
of females that highlight the best of our program. Leading the sale are 48 purebred females, bred early with no exposure to ensure that the fi rst
calf will be profi table. Also, a solid group of Simmental-based commercial females that will begin calving April 1st to a Red Angus calving ease sire
we purchased from McMillan Ranching will offer diversity to the sale. To fi nish, we have selected 5 heifer
calves to showcase some of our newest genetics, including ACS V8 and LFE Rochfort. These calves are
tie broke, well-made, and exciting prospects that will make great junior projects. All the females will be fully
vaccinated, ivomec’ed, and preg tested. If you have any questions, or would like to view the cattle, they
will be on display at Wayne’s yard, reference the map on the next page. Keep in mind; we are showcasing
these females in an old school way, so dress warm, should we face inclement weather. We will have lots of
hot coffee, Baileys, and baked goods to keep you warm, but please prepare for outdoor viewing. The sale
offering will be sold again by video auction. Each lot will be displayed on a large screen as they are selling.
Buyers usually have their selections made ahead and can view the sale in comfort.
We would like to thank everyone who helped us throughout the year, including our amazing neighbours and
many friends, the perogy crew, past customers and everyone in the family who helped get the daily work
completed.
May you all have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy the spirit of the New Year.
Happy Holidays and Many Thanks,
From The Bonchuk’s
Sales Management Comments
On December 19 you have a special opportunity to select from one of the great Simmental gene polls available in this great breed. The Bonchuk
family have strived to raise cattle for both purebred and commercial cattlemen alike. They have expanded their genetic base with an extensive A.I.
program of both proven, and the newest and fi nest genetics available.
This group of females they have assembled are from the heart of the herd and were diffi cult to offer for auction. They are a super stout, big bodied,
sound set of young ladies with loads of phenotype. They have been selected on these traits as well as proven cow families. This group has something
for everyone in terms of red, black and fullblood, horned or polled.
With the cattle markets on the rise and good, young, productive females fetching premiums this fall, this is sure to be one sale you will not want to
miss. Come for the great set of cattle that have been assembled from a great family who strive to produce high quality seedstock and build lasting
relationships with the customers who become friends.
If you can’t be with us sale day, please call one of our cell numbers and we will be pleased to assist you with any buying advice you would like and
purchase on your behalf.
We hope to see you sale day.
