Box 300, Sundre, AB T0M 1X0 Catalog production by Jameswaycatalogs.com 2 Tri K Cattle Welcome to the Peace Country Simmental Bull Sale. We are very happy to be part of such a progressive sale in the heart of the Peace Country where buyers have access to both top end yearlings and age advantage bulls all in one building. We would also like to thank all of our past customers for their support and confidence in our program. Without you we wouldn’t be able to follow our passion in rais- ing quality Purebred Simmentals. This year’s offering is extremely strong and uniform, a great sign of the direction our cow herd is progressing towards. The lead off bulls from our MRL Matrix herd sire are something special. He has been a breed changer for us with the amount of substance and soundness he puts into his offspring. Not to mention he is an outcross from almost all Red genetics anywhere offered in the Peace Country. Much like Matrix himself, turn his sons out with a big group of cows and watch what they can do! We follow up with a strong offering of Black and Fullbloods as well that are sired from proven bulls we have successfully marketed in the past years. We look forward to seeing everybody at the farm before the sale and/or sale day. Make sure to enjoy our sale meal and hospitality. All bulls are semen checked and guaranteed. We will make sure your cows get bred. Feel free to give Dad or myself a shout on any of the bulls. Hope everyone has a great 2018! $5,500.00 POLLED PUREBRED MALE PG1220199 KKH 57E 23 January 2017 WHEATLAND PREDATOR 922W MRL EL TIGRE 52Z MRL MISS 836W MRL MATRIX 38B PG846265 KKH EVEREST 57E TH BLACK EDITION 8R MRL MISS 476U 1 DUSTY-ROSE JADE 317L Homo Polled.
