Welcome to All attending the Bison Producers of Association, Wildrose Bison Show and Sale on March 18, 2017! The BPA Board of Directors and staff are pleased to present for you the Wildrose Show and Sale. This is one of the largest shows and sales in the bison industry, featuring all classes of animals including a 2014 bull class newly added this year. Now is an exciting time to be a part of the bison industry. High meat prices have turned into profits for cow-calf producers; and with a great future in sight, it is an excellent time to increase and improve your breeding herd, or to get into bison for the very first time. As bison can reproduce for many years, it is important to choose top quality breeding stock for long term success on your ranch. This Show and Sale could not happen without all those involved. We would like to thank all those taking part of the sale today, buying or selling – and to our judges, Trevor Gompf and Nolan Miller. Also thanks to all our generous sponsors for their support, and to Vold Jones Vold Auction for hosting the auction again this year.

Happy Bidding! Roger Van Haren Chair Bison Producers of Alberta

ALBERTA BISON RANCH Neil Hochstein [email protected] Mayerthorpe, AB Phone: 780-284-0347 Alberta Bison Ranch, located between Sangudo and Mayerthorpe, was started by Neil’s grandfather, Tom Meerheimb in 1980. Tom created a strong pure Plains herd known for its original genetics and good finishing, supplying many breeders their first bison. Neil has kept the same pride in maintaining the pure Plains herd in a low stress environment, raising them on grass and hay only. He now has a herd of 200 cows – holding the same strong plains genetics from the original herd. Offspring are raised to long yearlings, as well as finishing some to supply the growing meat market. If you are looking for pure Plains Bison that give results that stand, this is your chance.

BACKWOODS BUFFALO RANCH Chad & Laurie Trigg [email protected] Mayerthorpe, AB Phone : 780-305-9253 Backwoods Buffalo Ranch, located south of Mayerthorpe, AB was established in 2013 by Chad & Laurie Trigg. Backwoods is home to a small but growing herd of pure plains bison, originating from the Alberta Bison Ranch (owned by Neil Hochstein). Chad and Laurie are striving to bring meaning to the saying “know your farmer, know your food” while building their ranch from the soil up. All livestock raised at Backwoods are accustomed to roaming the fields in their natural, low-stress environment. Raising Bison was a ‘given’ for Chad and Laurie, who live a free-range lifestyle connected to nature through their northern Alberta prairie soil and strong agricultural roots.

7 BEAUDOIN RANCH Murray & Kari Beaudoin [email protected] Red Deer County, AB Phone : 403-277-1208 Murray and Kari bought their first bison in 1995 when they lived in east-, and now operate a modest ranch just east of Innisfail. The small herd is still growing with an emphasis on quality over quantity. We continually select for traits that are important to the bottom line: fertility, growth and productivity, carcass characteristics – while striving to maintain the self-sufficient characteristics that attracted us to bison in the first place. Our replacement heifers are raised right alongside the mature cows and graze without supplemental feed until the beginning of March. The females are never fed grain, pellets, or other feed concentrates. Those that do not thrive under this system and produce a quality calf each year are culled – No Exceptions.

BIG COUNTRY BISON Garry, Derek & Chris Shankowsky [email protected] Pelly, SK Phone : 306-542-7951 Our Bison herd was started in 1996 with the purchase of ten Heifer Calves from the Schwitzer’s ranch in Melville, SK. That number has now grown to 180 females in four separate herds. We are continuously improving the quality of our herd by making select purchases of top quality breeding stock, and meticulously selecting females out of our own herd. We are both proud and excited to be involved in the bison industry, and see a very bright future for this industry in the upcoming years.

BISON COULEE CONTRACTING Brian & Amanda Newton [email protected] Trochu, AB Phone: 403-442-3193 Bison Coulee Contracting started as Rumsey Game Farm, with Brian and Amanda Newton taking over operations in 2007. What started as a hobby with around 25 cows has grown into 125 cows with two separate herds, and a small finishing operation. Our animals have a strong woods influence as most of our bulls are either pure woods or woods cross. We have chosen our cows and replacement heifers on strength, confirmation, and appearance – as in just plain prettiness. The Breeding Bull that we chose to bring to this sale would make a strong herd stronger, and would fit anywhere. Thank you to all attendees.

BLACK STONE BISON Blair & Kathleen Majeau [email protected] Gunn, AB Phone: 780-967-2284 Black Stone Bison, located north of Rich Valley AB, has been raising bison for over 22 years. Our main focus is maintaining a strong and healthy closed herd with the best genetics in the industry, as well as careful planning of pasture and hay management to sustain an organic environment. We are committed to building and retaining a quality herd to keep pace with the consumer demand for lean nutritious meat. We are excited about the bison industry, and think the future will be incredibly bright for years to come. Black Stone is offering two Open Heifers in the Sale, selected from the top females in our herd with strong values in disposition, temperament and mothering qualities. We are also offering two Breeding Bulls with great genetics – considered in their selection was disposition, conformation, temperament, rate of gain and soundness. These Bulls will get the job done!

BUCK LAKE BISON RANCH Harvey & Doreen Foss [email protected] Buck Lake, AB Phone: 780-388-3008 Buck Lake Bison Ranch purchased their first 6 heifers - Blackjack offspring - from Buffalo Hill Ranch in 1994. Their goal, to build a quality Plains Bison Herd with Plains Bison genetics, has been accomplished through select purchases at various sales. Their current herd sires are the 2013 Wild Rose Show & Sale Reserve Grand Champion from MFL Ranches (Dick & Karina Staudinger) and 2014 Wild Rose Show & Sale Grand Champion from XY Bison Ranch (Bill & Fay Bouffioux and Sandy Busche), with each presiding over their own 15 cow herds. All cows have been blood-typed and registered with the NABR with the goal to maintain a herd of select Plains Bison genetics. The breeding program at Buck Lake Bison has proven its excellence over the years with many awards at shows including the Gold Trophy (Denver), Canadian National (Regina), and Wildrose (Camrose, Ponoka, and Red Deer).

9 CRAMER FARM Rob & Dawn Cramer [email protected] Barrhead, AB Phone: 780-785-3245 Cramer Farm is located 40 miles west of Barrhead in a small community called Moose Wallow. We started raising Bison in 2002 with 15 bred pure Plains Heifers purchased from Tom Meerheimb at Sangudo and 6 Wood X yearling Heifers from Ken Olson of Fort Assiniboine. Our next purchase was a Plains Breeding Bull in 2003 from Norm Moore at Alder Flats. From this solid foundation of stock we have grown our herd to 50 cows. In 2014 we added a Woods Breeding Bull purchased from Leo and Rita Schmaus. We have been finishing our animals to supply the growing meat market, but decided to offer our top three of both our Bull Calves and Heifer Calves for the Wildrose Sale – they will be a great addition to any herd.

ELK VALLEY RANCHES Frank & Neil McAllister Phone: 780-846-2980 Kitscoty, AB [email protected] Today Elk Valley Ranches maintains a select group of 100 breeding female Bison weighing from 1200 – 1500 lbs, maintained on a grass based diet. We also run our two other herds bis 1 consisting of 220 Bison cows ranging from 1000–1300 lbs, and bis 2 consisting of 200 Bison cows also ranging from 1000- 1300 lbs. They are flushed on lush grass pasture. This year we have started a new herd consisting of 80 of our best young stock. They MUST produce on a grass based diet to meet our breeding stock criteria. We sell approximately 100 bred heifers each year, with every female sold pregnancy tested. We also sell 40 semen-tested herdsire Bison Bulls each year off the farm. Most of our best animals go to our MGM Grand Sale held in February, but if you missed that sale - the two 2014 Breeding Bulls here for the Wildrose will give you an excellent opportunity to improve your herd genetics.

10 HGB BISON George & Heather Briggs [email protected] Olds, AB Phone: 403-559-7739 HGB Bison Ranch is located two miles south of Olds, AB on Hwy 2A. We have been raising bison since 1996. Our foundation stock now consists of 70 Durham Ranch / HGB Cows and a battery of pure Woods Breeding Bulls from the ranches of Hanging Ice, Irish Creek and HGB Bison. Year over year, through learning and management practice our calving rates continue to increase to 95% - 100%. The characteristics we have developed in our bison through stress-free management is a herd that is quiet and non-aggressive. Our 2015-2016 average weaning weights of bulls coming off grass was 600 lbs and the heifers averaged 510 lbs. We wish everyone here a successful Wildrose Show & Sale!

11 SANDSTONE BISON RANCH Orin & Nancy Sand [email protected] Hondo, AB Phone : 780-849-0466 Sandstone Bison Ranch is located between Athabasca and , just off the . We started with 28 hand-picked cows and two bulls purchased from Tom Meerheimb in November of 2000. Since then we have added strong genetics to our breeding program with bulls from Frost Hills, Smoky Lake and Irish Creek Bison farms. Our cows are culled regularly to maintain a strong and healthy herd with an annual calving rate of 95%. We wean in early January, record weights, vaccinate/ivomec and let them settle into a stress-free environment. The calves are given hay bales of timothy/brome/ alfalfa mixture along with free choice Hi-Pro 13% bison ration. Prior to weaning the calves are on free choice hay only (no rations/grains). We practice rotational grazing and do not believe in using growth hormones, stimulants, or antibiotics. In our breeding program we focus on disposition, calving percentages, strong body confirmation with a dark influence. This is our first time entering the sales ring and we are excited to be joining the Wildrose Sale !
