We would like to welcome you to the 2nd Annual Canadian Classic Production

cattle in the industry. This year’s sale offers eleven elite lots, two of those being “pick 

your poison” lots, where you get to choose. You will see cattle from legendary sires 

such as, Pacific Bell, Just a Dream and the phenomenal Troubadour just to name a 

few. There is something here for everyone, whether you have been raising bucking 

stock for years or would like to jump head first into the business. 

Rest assured we are bringing you cattle that we feel will add to your herd. We have 

retained females from every cross here in our own herds.

Ranch Sires 

+57 Garfield 

ABBI: 10011301……….4/17/2001 

Sire: 77 Yellow Jacket 

Dam: 58 Little Spike 

Garfield has been a great bull over the years. Not 

only has he been at the top of his game as a bucker, 

he is also a proven sire. 

LR60 Little Beau Creep 

ABBI: 10096389………. 

Sire: Unknown 

Dam: Unknown 

Little Beau Creep is one of the toughest bulls we 

have ever hauled. This bull was great for many 

years not only because of his athleticism , but he 

is known for his pure grit and determination. 

Little Beau Creep has more outs against the 

toughest guys than any bull we’ve ever had. With 

a 95% buck off ratio, the notches on his pistol 

name some of the toughest PBR guys, such as 

Ednei Caminhas, Paulo Crimber, and Mike Lee. 

3

Ranch Sires 

122 Cryin’ Out Loud 

ABBI: 10041835……….7/17/2001 

Sire: 910 Silk Screen 

Dam: Burton Breeding 

Cryin’ Out Loud was not only a great bull in the 

arena but is also turning out to be a tremendous 

sire. Anyone that has seen us buck our last two 

sets of calves will testify that his calves are every 

bit as good as the Garfield calves. 

12 Under Pressure 

ABBI: 10034187……….4/12/1998 

Sire: R5 Sugar Ray 


Under Pressure is probably the only bull that we 

have ever had that you never worry about who you 

draw no matter what level of event you were at. 

The confidence I had in this bull was second to 

none. The older he got, the better he got. We only 

got four or five bull calves and no heifer calves out 

of this bull. We were never able to collect semen 

on this bull. There is a very limited supply of Under 

Pressure genetics, and I believe they would be 

an asset to anyone’s herd. 

4

Ranch Sires 

79 Pitchfork 

ABBI: 10041839……….4,23,2005 

Sire: 790 Mossy Oak Mudslinger 

Dam: KA –57 

Pitchfork is another result of our ET program. One of 

only two Mudslinger calves we have, he has proven to be 

tough in the arena. After his first CFR selection last 

year, his first set of calves follow close behind this 

spring. The calves look really good and combined with 

the top end genetics that Pitchfork carries, his offspring 

are sure to excel. 

405 Little White Lie 

ABBI: 10016155……….4/13/2004 

Sire: Houdini 

Dam: RJ 358 

Little White Lie was raised by Jim Thompson at new 

Sarepta, AB. This ET bull has all the kick of White 

Water and all the natural turn back of Houdini. With a 

buck off ratio of 90%, he was ridden two times in 2009 for 

85 and 90 points. Little White Lie was chosen for the 

Canadian Finals Rodeo and the National Finals Rodeo 

his first year on tour.

Elite Lot 1: 

Bull 

ABBI: pending……….5/04/2010 

Sire: Troubadour 

Dam: KA 2 

1/2 interest or double the money for full ownership 

Sired by Troubadour, a classic champion with earnings in 

excess of $400,000, and a PBR sensation. Here’s your opportunity 

to be one of the first to own a son of this legendary 

bull. On the dam side is the most consistent home run hitter 

we own. Cow 2 has 3 bulls going down the road at once. 

This a big time calf and a big time opportunity. 

Consigned by Vanderlee/Armstrong 

Elite Lot 2: 043 

Bull 


Sire: Blueberry Wine 

Dam: KA 7 (Mudslinger Daughter) 

1/2 interest only 

This is one of the most unique crosses of this year’s sale. 

The name Blueberry Wine says it all and KA 7 is a Mudslinger 

daughter out of –57. -57 is the dam to Blacktail 

Switch and a full sister to Garfield. KA 7 is a full sister to 

Pitchfork. The genetics are proven on both sides of this 

calf so the sky is truly the limit! 

Consigned by Smith/Armstrong 


Heifer 

ABBI: 10082419……….2/08/2008 

Sire: 95 Just a Dream 

Dam: 525 (Reindeer Daughter) 

1/2 interest or double the money for full ownership. 

Without a doubt this is the fanciest female in the sale! 

With impeccable confirmation and a flawless pedigree, 

there is no telling the impact this female may have on any 

breeding program. 


6


Heifer 

ABBI: 10082375……….4/09/2008 

Sire: 14 Pacific Bell 

Dam: OKA LUSA 43 

1/2 interest or double the money for full ownership 

The hands of time were truly turned back to create this 

genetic time bomb. Sired by Pacific Bell (2x PRCA 

BBOY nearly 20 years ago), who is still one of the most 

notorious bulls ever in professional rodeo. The dam of this 

heifer is a daughter of War Dance. There are very few of 

these in existence. This is truly a rare offering. 


Elite Lot 5: Pick Your 

Poison 

ABBI: pending……….2010 

Sire: KA +57 Garfield 

Dam: KA 9 

Here’s a great opportunity to own a full brother or sister to 

the superstar bull Good Vibrations! This will never be offered 

again. Pick one, heifer or bull, and the other goes 

home. 

Consigned by Vanderlee/Armstrong 


Bull 


Sire: Dog Face 

Dam: HRC 616 

1/2 interest only 

We are proud to offer this full brother to Firebird. Not 

only is Firebird a former PRCA BBOY, but he has had 

tremendous success in the PBR as well, and has made top 5 

appearances on Pro Bull Stats in career outs and lifetime 

average marks. This calf possesses all the same qualities 

but ten years younger. 


7


Heifer 

ABBI: 10078973……….4/15/2008 

Sire: 166 Strawberry Wine 

Dam: KA 2 

Here’s your shot at another embryo transplant female. 2 has 

raised 33 Afro Man, 45 Colt 45, and 222 Black Rhino. There 

is something to be said about a dam having three bulls on the 

truck at one time out three different sires. By crossing her 

with a phenomenal bull like Strawberry Wine, I feel like we 

have produced a spectacular heifer that anyone can have success 

with. 

Consigned by Kelly Armstrong 


Heifer 

ABBI: 10092755……….3/01/2009 

Sire: 856 Tahanta 

Dam: MO 150 (White Water Daughter) 

Here is a great heifer whose genetics have been proven successful 

time and time again. There are several 3/4 siblings to this 

heifer currently rewriting the record books at the futurity, 

derby and classic levels. 



Heifer 

ABBI: 10041840……….2/16/2008 

Sire: 856 Tahonta 

Dam: 132 (Kid Rock Daughter) 

How about this for a stacked pedigree? 802 is sired by 

Tahonta and out of a Kid Rock daughter, who is out of a Houdini 

daughter! The calf at side is by Pitchfork, who is sired by 

Mudslinger and out of a full sister to Garfield. This pair is 

truly out of this world! Heifer calf at side.

Elite Lot 10: Pick your Poison 

Bulls or Heifer 

ABBI: ……….2009 

Sire: 

Tahonta 

Dam: KA –57 (Yellow Jacket Daughter) 

Pick one and the other two go home. 

Choice of two bulls and one heifer 

This flush is compiled of nothing but paramount genetics. 

Tahonta (2x BBOY) on the top and KA –57 (dam to Blacktail 

Switch and Pitchfork) on the bottom. Everyone says they can 

tell by looking at them. Here’s your shot! 



Bull 

ABBI: 10069846……….2/24/2008 

Sire: 77 Yellow Jacket 

Dam: MO 135 (Whitewater Daughter) 

1/2 Interest only 

Here’s your chance to get into the game! Already in Texas and 

ready to hit the road, this little bull is bred right, made right 

and has all the skills to be a champion. Yellow Jacket over 

Whitewater! Everyone knows it works and everyone is talking 

about this future superstar.

Lot 12: 825 

Heifer 

ABBI: 10078996……….4/19/2008 


Dam: KA 196 

You want the looks? Here you go! This black and white 

knockout is the complete package. Garfield over an original 

Ronnie Roach cow. It doesn’t get any better than this! 


Lot 13: 806 

Heifer 

ABBI: 1078968……….4/22/2008 


Dam: KA Z69 

Z69 is a Jungle James cow and the dam to Schellenberg’s 

Tangled Up. A proven dam on the bottom and Garfield on 

top, this dynamic female is a future flush candidate. This is 

the first ranch raised female out of a Quam cow that has ever 

been offered. 


Lot 14: 820 

Heifer 

ABBI: 10078987……….5/04/2008 


Dam: KA 191 

This is a maternal sister to one of the best three year old 

bulls I have right now. Garfield crossed with Roll The Dice 

has been an absolute mainstay in our program. It works. 

Guaranteed!

Lot 15: 817 

Heifer 

ABBI: 10078983……….5/29/2008 

Sire: 122 Cryin’ Out Loud 

Dam: KA 53 

This is a very special female and definitely changes things up a little. 

This is a Cryin’ Out Loud daughter out of a Garfield over Jim Jiminy 

cow. Every one of these bulls has proven himself time and time again. 

Don’t’ let this one get away. 


National Bucking Bull Association

Lot 16: 805 

Heifer 

ABBI: 10078966……….4/13/2008 


Dam: KA 15 

This exact cross has produced some of the best two and three year 

old bulls in the Armstrong herd. KA 15 has had mostly heifers, but 

from this picture you can see the bulls have what it takes. These jet 

black heifers are as catty as they come and will be an asset to any 

herd. 


Lot 17: 940 

Heifer 

ABBI: 10102940……….4/25/2009

female

Lot 19: 941 

Heifer 

ABBI: 10102941……….4/26/2009 

Sire: LR60 Little Beau Creep 

Dam: KA 63 

This is the very first offering of Little Beau Creep females. I 

feel by adding the longevity, raw toughness, and street brawling 

instincts of Little Beau Creep to the style and pattern 

provided by the Rafter 7R genetics. This is a home run in 

the making. 


Lot 20: 948 

Heifer 

ABBI: 10102948……….5/03/2009 

Sire: LR60 Little Beau Creep 

Dam: E6 

This heifer may truly be a super hero in a straight red suit. I 

really believe when this young cow gets into production, the 

bull business will never be the same. Get in while you can, 

there will be very few Little Beau Creep females offered in 

the future.

Lot 34: 122 Cryin’ Out Loud 

Bull 

ABBI: 10041835……….7/17/2001 

Sire: 910 Silk Screen 


1/2 interest 

This has been a great bull for a long time and is also proving 

to be a tremendous sire. I’ve said in the past, and I’ll say it 

again, “When Cryin’ Out Loud and Garfield were young, it is 

tough to say which one was better!” We have bucked two sets 

of Cryin’ Out Loud calves and they are also comparable to 

Garfield calves. This is a great opportunity to purchase a 

proven sire. 


Lot 35: 27 Blacktail Switch 

Bull 

ABBI: 10057576……….4/21/2004 


Dam: KA –57 

1/2 interest 

This was a very rank bull when we first cracked him out. He 

was injured in a truck accident in 2008 and has never come 

sound enough to haul again. Based on his performance, 

pedigree, and conformation, I feel he will make a tremendous 

sire.

rare offering.

Lot 37: Semen 

2 straws Z12 Jiminy Cricket. 

Jiminy Cricket 

-This little black muley packed a punch as a bucking and breeding 

bull. No other bull in Canada has raised as many buckers as he has 

including the grandsons and great grandsons. He was two time Bull 

of the Year in the Alberta Rodeo Circuit. Chris Shivers rode this 

bull for 93 points in the short round at the Built Ford Tough Event 

in Vancouver. He made the PBR Finals in Las Vegas where Tuff 

Hedeman rode him for 90 points. Jiminy Cricket also went to the 

CFR twice. 

1 straw P54 Plain and Simple 

-This bull is athletic and unpredictable. Plain and Simple 

never has the same trip twice. He blows and kicks as hard as 

a bull can. In 2009 at Armstrong, B.C., he was marked 48.5. 

We currently have 2009 calves on the ground. This bull went 

to the CFR in 2009. He was raised by Bob Baird. 

2 straws N77 Scalp Hunter 

-This Jungle James son was as tough as they come. He was 

not easy to handle but bucked as hard as any other. They rode 

him for 90 points in the short round at the Nampa Bud Light 

Cup. He went to two CFR’s and made the trek to the PBR 

Finals in Las Vegas. He died at the age of 13. This bull has 

many offspring with lots of talent. One of his calves is 

Bounty Hunter, who has made the CFR the last two years and 

has been ridden for 90 points.

Lot 38: 188 Blue Crush 

Bull 

ABBI: 10057561……….4/08/2005 

Sire: 12 Under Pressure 

Dam: KA 88 

Under Pressure (sired by Sugar Ray) was on of the best bulls 

I’ve ever had. I only have 4 or 5 bull calves out of him and 

no heifers. This is the first time Under Pressure genetics 

have ever been offered. This bull is 100% sound, semen tested, 

and ready to go! Breed him or buck him! 


Lot 39: 258 To the Moon 

Bull 

ABBI: 10102948……….4/18/2005 

Sire: 2 Twilight Zone 


This maternal 1/2 brother to Garfield has had a couple of 

minor set backs in his young career. I really believe this bull 

would do a lot better in a smaller herd. Breed him or buck 

him! 


Lot 40: 32 

Bull 

ABBI: Pending……….4/14/2006 

Sire: Abracadabra 


This maternal 1/2 brother to Garfield and sired by Abracadabra 

has a very promising future both in and out of the 

arena. 32 is well on his way recovering from a hip injury. 

After a summer on cows, he will be ready for the truck next 

spring. Breed or Buck! 


21

Lot 41: 7 Pee Wee 

Bull 

ABBI: 10062133………. 

Pee Wee is a 10year old bull that we have used this 

spring. This Mexican cross bull was purchased from 

Ellie Skorie as a 7 year old and two years ago went to 

the CFR. Ellie had a hard time with him when he was 

young so he used him as a breeding bull, he also leased 

him to Wayne Chausse . Both of these 

stock contractors have had calves and grandsons that 

bucked out of this bull. His calves seem to be good mannered, 

he seems that would make a good cross for any 

one. His average score is 20.828 at the PBR Canada in 

Edmonton they were 86.75 . This is a chance to add a 

little heat to your herd these type of bulls are hard to 

come by.
