Our Commitment to Excellence

We spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to breed better cattle for our customers. We are focused on profitable, commercial production. That means that we do not practice the more artificial production systems found on most purebred operations.

◊ We calve in May/June in sync with our environment◊ We don’t creep feed our calves to achieve artificial weaning

weights◊ We raise our calves in large contemporary groups for

meaningful comparisons

We collect data on all the traits that affect your bottom-line:

◊ Calving ease◊ Weaning and yearling growth◊ Ultrasound for marbling and ribeye area◊ Guaranteed soundness◊ We ask our cows to reproduce under natural conditions◊ We strictly cull for disposition, feet and leg soundness and

udder quality

Stan n Jane Grad

A message from Soderglen

Sale Information4

We have built a herd of moderate sized, efficient females that produce:

◊ Hard footed 18 month old bulls◊ Guaranteed calving ease◊ Growth and carcass merit◊ Strict culling; only the top 40% sell

You have to know your customers, their goals and specifications to target. We sincerely thank all of our customers who have trusted us to provide you with high quality cattle and great customer service.

Our philosophy; Simple-buy your bulls from an operation whose management and breeding principles are similar to your own and you will find the type of cattle that will work for you.

“It is no longer a matter of marketing what you produce, but you must produce what you can market.”

People that Make Things HappenThe

Roger is the manager of Soderglen South and has been with us for seven years. Roger manages the summer calving cows, which are approximately 1500. Roger is assisted by Ross and Josh Neilson and some north staff in busy times. Kay Wynder our south neighbour helped Roger again this summer, especially during A.I.

Ale is responsible for operations on the grain side from seeding to harvest. Ale is going into his 7th year with Soderglen and in 2014 will take on a more active role in management.

Sergio and his family originate from Mexico. They moved to Airdrie five years ago. We welcome him and his family to Soderglen! Sergio is a heavy duty mechanic and welder, and he will work on the grain side.

Kevin McGlashan takes care of construction projects and building maintenance.

Ross joined our Soderglen South team last year at Cardston, AB. He helped calved 1500 cows, weighing, tagging, and sorting 5 breeds at 40 calves per day. He made it through the gruelling calving season and we are pleased to have him on the team.

Pedro is our feeder, as any of you who feed cattle can appreciate the value of a very capable feeder of bull test rations to finishing rations. Pedro, Eva and their six children moved to Soderglen in 2007.

Sale Information 7

Long Yearling S.C.Actual scrotal measurements were taken in October, 2013 by Veterinary Agri-Health. The bulls were extended, palpated and semen tested. All bulls meet industry standards based on breed and age.Horned-Scurred-PolledHorned: An animal with a horn growth affixed to the skull that has or has not been removed. Scurred: An animal with rudimentary horn growth that will not develop into a horn. Scurs are the result of an independent gene unrelated to either the horned or polled gene. Polled: An animal with absence of horn growth. (An animal can have scurs and still be genetically polled.)Calving EaseCalving ease is probably the biggest concern to most bull

buyers. Calving ease is most often related to birth weight of a bull. This is partly true but there are many other factors that influence calving ease. Nutrition and gestation play a role. Our rating of each bull is based on all the information we have available.

◊ *** Should produce minimal calving problems when bred to moderate sized first calf heifers.

◊ ** Recommended for use on second calvers or small framed cows – 1100 to 1300 lbs.

◊ * Recommended for mature cows - 1400+ lbs.

Disposition Scoring System1. Wider flight zone-moves

off pressure easily, easily excited.

2. Average disposition-handles easily if worked quietly.

3. Can work very easily, doesn’t get excited.

4. Won’t get out of your way, narrow or no flight zone.

Ultrasound Evaluation of Carcass TraitsUltrasound data was taken at 16 months of age.

Ribeye Area (IN2) - gives an indication of overall carcass muscling.

Fat Depth (MM) - gives an indication of overall carcass fat content.

LeanMeat Yield % (LMY) - gives the percentage of lean meat in a carcass.

Marbling Score - gives an indication of the juiciness and eating quality of beef - AAA, AA, A.

WWAll weights are taken at weaning and adjusted to 205 days to allow you to compare the bulls on an even playing field.YWAll weights are taken at the end of test and adjusted to 365 days, again to let you easily compare the bulls.W.P.D.A.... all weights at the end of test are used to calculate the bull’s weight per day of age. It covers the entire gaining period to date (on the cow and on the feed).A.D.G.…after a 30 day warm-up period the bulls are put on test to measure their A.D.G. for the next 120 days.Est. Sale WeightActual weights were taken in December, 2013 and adjusted to sale day.

Should you have any problem with a bull, contact Soderglen at (403) 948-6734 and we will handle the problem immediately.

Sight Unseen Purchase PlanStay-At-Home Options

We would prefer to have everyone attend for sale day, but realistically we know there are scheduling conflicts

and distance limitations. For those cases, we have a couple of options for you to be able to participate in our bull sale on an absentee basis.

If you can’t make the sale, give us a call... we know our cattle well and are confident that we can select bulls that meet your specifications. Some of our customers think we do a better job of buying their bulls than they do. Our Sight Unseen Program takes most of the risks out of purchasing bulls. Helping you with your purchases, however, places a lot of responsibility on us, so please call early.

In an effort to cover liability issues and protect the buyer’s interests, we require the minimum basic warranty of 60 days (2.5%) of the purchase price for all bulls purchased at our Stay-At-Home options.

Bidders who are successful in making a purchase will be contacted the week after the sale and an invoice will be mailed out. When the bull is delivered to your central delivery point if you are not satisfied with your purchase, your money will be refunded and the bull will be brought home. In all of our years of business and thousands of bulls sold, we have only had to bring 1 bull home!

We have two consultants as well as Soderglen staff that are available to help you with your decisions. Should you choose to use our Sight Unseen Purchase Program, Will, Mark or Scott will handle your bid to get the bulls you require.

Internet Bidding Only

We will be using VJV and the Canadian Satellite Livestock Auction internet bidding again this year. Blair Vold and the VJV crew will be able to assist you on sale day.

To participate in the internet bidding option you will need to phone Soderglen at (403) 948-6734 and register for a buyer number prior to the sale. Bidding number to call on sale day is 403-948-6700. You will be contacted the week after the sale for settlement and delivery instructions.

If at all possible, we invite you to stop by to evaluate the bulls prior to sale day. If distance is a problem, we can provide you with a free DVD of all the bulls for home viewing.

“If you are not satisfied with a bull upon delivery, you have absolutely no obligation to take the bull.”

Terms of Retaining Half InterestBuyer pays the bid price and has possession of the bull for the spring/summer breeding season and throughout the year except when Soderglen exercises their right to use the bull for their fall breeding program in September and October of each year.

Soderglen, at their option, may pick up the bull and use him for their summer calving program. They may also place the bull in a stud unit and collect semen. Any semen sold on the bull will be split 50/50 with his owners.

Soderglen will take full responsibility for all expenses and assume all risk, re: death

or injury while they have possession of the bull. When Soderglen exercises their possession rights, they will offer to maintain the bull at their expense until the following spring and then deliver the bull back to the buyer. In the event of injury or death while under Soderglen’s care, the owner will receive full purchase price. For that reason Soderglen suggests you cover your bull while in your possession. The buyer receives 100% of the salvage value of the bull.

Semen RightsPlease note: On a few designated bulls we retain the right to collect, use and market semen at some future date. As purchaser of the bull you will receive a 25 percent revenue-sharing semen interest, along with full possession of the bull. Semen will be collected at your convenience and at our expense during the off season. This in no way affects your use of the bull! In the event semen is marketed and revenue is produced the resulting proceeds, minus incurred expenses, shall be divided among those who own a semen interest.

Sale InformationSoderglen Herdsire Purchase ProgramSoderglen is offering a Financing Option for our customers. This program is designed to assist with financing bulls.

On sale day, at the settlement desk, 50% of the value of your purchase will be asked for plus warranty and we will finance the remaining 50% for eight months. The interest component will be floating prime plus 1%.

Give Elan a call, she will be happy to help you with your financing of a Soderglen Herdsire.

Visa/Mastercard/Debit/ChequeSoderglen is accepting Visa/Mastercard payments as well as debit cards for your bulls. Soderglen pays the merchant fee.BiddingSoderglen Ranches Ltd. reserves the right

to refuse any bids, live or on internet for any reason whatsoever. We can also refuse the delivery of any animal(s), in which case the purchase price will be reimbursed to the buyer in full.Soderglen Bull ManagementWe here at Soderglen have spent 25 years in the bull business and have learned to become very dynamic and responsive in this ever changing cow industry. We understand the needs of our customers change over time, therefore we do.

Whether you are a customer needing bulls with exceptional calving ease, looking for performance packed Hybrids or quality grade characteristics with a disposition you can trust, you will find them all here at Soderglen. Here are some things we can proudly say we deliver on and that you can trust:

1. We understand the need for cattle that calve as we require the same here. Soderglen calved 2000 cows and 350 first calf heifers last year with no veterinarian visits at all! We know these genetics will calve regardless of breed. All bulls born with birth weights 110 lbs and greater

are castrated at birth. Year after year we castrate less of these simply because their existence is fading in our program.

2. Disposition is becoming more important in our business and we know that it is a huge priority to many customers.We have culled hard for years at Soderglen getting the temperaments more predictable.We have scored each and every bull for you and the scores are printed in the catalogue. PLEASE USE THESE, as they are a great tool in selecting your next herd sire.

Longevity. The longer the bull is in your program the cheaper he becomes. We believe culling is the most important way to manage this trait. We have culled the 2014 sale bull offering very hard and therefore guarantee each and every bull sold!

We have worked with Nutrition Services for years now on developing these long yearling and two year old bulls for optimal growth with a target testing period gain of 3 lbs. per day. For the remainder of the bulls’ life at Soderglen they are fed a high roughage low energy ration that maintains them at 2 lbs. per day. We can see the difference and so can our customers in the amount of foot problems we don’t have!

Bring a Neighbor ProgramIf you bring a new customer to the sale and they purchase a bull we

will give you $500 off your purchase (just let us know at the sale desk)!

Crossbreeding SystemsMust be designed to fit the operation; herd size, number of pastures, existing cow herd genes and other managerial constraints will determine the most appropriate crossbreeding system.

Rotational SystemsThe goal of a rotational crossbreeding system is twofold:

◊ Generate females which combine the complementary cow herd traits of parent breeds while building acceptable levels of maternal heterosis into the cow herd.

◊ Build “reputation” feeder cattle that excel in the feed and carcass traits that will keep buyers bidding aggressively.

Rotational Crossbreeding Tip: use breeds that are similar in birthweight, mature size and milk production to allow large swings in biological type and input costs. Angus and MAX are especially well suited for Rotational systems due to their balance of cowherd building traits with end product traits.

Two Breed RotationCows sired by Breed A (Red Angus) bred to Breed B bull (MAX, Simmental, etc.). Resulting daughters bred back to Breed A for the rest of their lives. Daughters resulting from this cross are bred back to bull from Breed B. A female is always bred to a bull of a different breed than her sire. (Diagram 1)Sire selection objectives: Choose sires similar for calving ease, maternal traits, and mature size. Must ID sires to daughters.

Three Breed RotationCows sired by Breed A (Red Angus) bred to Breed B bull. Resulting daughters bred back to Breed C for the rest of their lives. Daughters resulting from this cross are bred back to bull from Breed A. A female is always bred to the sire she is least related to. (Diagram 2)Sire selection objectives: Choose sires similar for calving ease, maternal traits, and mature size. Must ID sires to daughters.

HeterosisIndividual vs. Maternal HeterosisIndividual heterosis is the increased performance a crossbreed exhibits relative to it’s straightbred parent for traits such as growth to weaning, or yearling weight.Maternal Heterosis is expressed in the crossbreed female’s progeny, such as increased weaning weight of the crossbred females’ calves due to the

increased milk production of their crossbred dams.Heterosis has been shown to increase lifetime production 20-50% in crossbred cows. This increase results from cumulative benefits of heterosis across numerous cow herd traits to include: fertility, longevity, weaning rate, etc. The table below compares the increase in weight of calf weaned per cow exposed that may be expected with individual heterosis vs. both individual maternal heterosis.

Our MAX line is a leader in the industry of Hybrid Genetics. We chose Angus as our base breed because it is the most predictable and consistent producer of mainstream maternal genetics. We selected Simmental as the complementary breed for our MAX line and our first goal was to find solid red and black color, structure with ample performance and carcass merit. The result is Soderglen’s MAX line for F1 and composite hybrid genetics. These MAX and composite bulls give the commercial cattleman a power-backed performance and maternal sire loaded with convenience traits. Red MAX are registered half-blood simmentals. If you need a paper, just ask!

Ron was a friend and customer for over 20 years. He was a travelling and hunting buddy of Stan’s and spent most of the fall hunting birds from the shack in Bashaw to the castles in northern Scotland and Spain. His farming operation, Brimacombe Farms, was built into a sprawling and productive 1000 cow/calf operation plus a backgrounding facility and grain farm. Brimacombe farms purchased over 130 bulls over 20 years consecutively. He is missed by all of us.

Brimacombe branding


As a seedstock producer we are responding to the demand for Simmental cattle that maintain superior maternal and carcass traits. We strive to produce a line of Red and Black Simmental cattle loaded with longevity and convenience traits such as polling, calving ease, correct foot and leg structure and balanced pigmented udders. We are attempting to produce a line of Simmental cattle to fit our customers needs in the medium to large cow calf operations of the Southern Central Prairie Provinces and BC. Simmental cattle have a unique combination of maternal traits as well as performance and carcass quality. Produced with common sense management practices, Simmental is a breed that is well suited for a large part of our existing customer base and the backbone of our hybrid breeding program.

Many commercial cow/calf operators enhance the profitability of their operations through thoughtful application of heterosis and breed complementarity made available through crossbreeding.

Since 1960, the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) has promoted planned crossbreeding systems as a tool for sustainable and profitable commercial beef production. Red Angus’ balance of economically relevant traits make it a flexible, user friendly component of any crossbreeding plan. Today, Red Angus breeders fulfill this commitment by offering the beef industry’s best objectively described seedstock and marketing programs designed to add value to their customers’ calves. This profit boosting combination has earned Red Angus the reputation as THE COMMON DENOMINATOR in crossbreeding programs all across the country!

The Charolais breed has been an integral part of Soderglen’s seedstock business since its inception in the early 1970’s. It is true that the early bred Charolais cattle in the old days did posses traits which were undesirable for our environment here in North America. However, with Soderglen’s management style and a strong belief that the charolais breed has a very important role to play in the beef business, we have developed a Charolais breeding program we believe is unparalleled. The Soderglen Charolais cattle of today will not only generate tremendous hybrid vigour in your cow herds, they will add yield and growth without sacrificing structure, calving ease or liveability. The North American cow herd is shrinking which puts pressure on increased red meat yields. The beta-agonists and growth enhancement synthetics are under severe scrutiny; so take advantage of the natural growth enhancer and cross your Angus and Angus cross cows with a Soderglen Charolais bull.

To those who worry about excessive hormones in beef, it really should be

at the bottom of your worry list!

This Could Change The Beef BusinessCarbon capture and storage in grassland While on the SCA media tour, Howard Toews was asked by members of the media about carbon capture and sequestration by grasslands. Following are some of the comments from Toews, who has done a fair bit of research on the subject: The summer and fall grazing period for cattle is 6 months (180 days) according to research done and reported by Diego Steinaker, post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Biology, University of Regina. He claims that pastures under light or moderate grazing are responsible for 6,000 kg. of carbon capture and storage (CCS)/hectare/yr or 5,355 lbs. of C/acre/year. During those 180 days each 1,400 lb cow and her calf will harvest the forage produced on eight acres under light rotational grazing conditions. He further claims this carbon capture and storage has a value of $24/MT. Using Steinaker’s numbers: a) One cow/calf pair is responsible for grazing eight acres x 2.429 MT=19.43 MT of carbon x $24.00/MT =

$466.37. The resulting economic benefit is $466.37/cow-calf pair for 180 days. b) To produce hay for feeding one 1,400 lb cow requires two acres of forage production. The winter feeding period is approximately 185 days. c) Two acres of forage x 2.429 MT of CCS x $24.00/MT = $116.60 which is the economic calue of CCS. d) One cow is responsible for $466.37 + $116.60 = $582.97 (Total value for 365 days of carbon capture and storage.) Conclusion: The environmental value of light summer grazing and winter feeding one cow has an economic value of more than $580.00 per year. To achieve the same result government and the oil industry, through their present methods of carbon capture and sequestration, would have to spend 20 MT/@ $280.00 cost/MT = $5,600 to achieve the same results.

In addition to using straightbred Angus in crossbreeding programs, a growing demand is being met by Angus based MAX bulls. Through eliminating the need for multiple breed rotations and allowing producers to maintain their desired breed makeup without large swings in biological type, Angus based MAX bulls provide the benefits of heterosis and breed complementarity in a convenient and user friendly package. Furthermore, Angus based MAX bulls are the ideal choice for producers who desire to inject heterosis back into a high percentage Angus cowherd.

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune. One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. “I may look like just an ordinary guy,” he said to her, “but in just a few years, my father will die and I will inherit $200 million.” Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother. Women are so much better at financial planning than men.



As a seedstock producer we are responding to the demand for Simmental cattle that maintain superior maternal and carcass traits. We strive to produce a line of Red and Black Simmental cattle loaded with longevity and convenience traits such as polling, calving ease, correct foot and leg structure and balanced pigmented udders. We are attempting to produce a line of Simmental cattle to fit our customers needs in the medium to large cow calf operations of the Southern Central Prairie Provinces and BC. Simmental cattle have a unique combination of maternal traits as well as performance and carcass quality. Produced with common sense management practices, Simmental is a breed that is well suited for a large part of our existing customer base and the backbone of our hybrid breeding program.

Red and Black Angus have always been very popular British Breeds. They are noted for their calving ease, maternal traits and their ability to marble. With so much to offer, we believe they should have an integral part in most crossbreeding systems. You have the opportunity to purchase elite purebred genetics at a price commercial programs can afford.

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained,

“It’s the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone. I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone.”

Immediately, the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a word or two, the druggist told him, “Now, just a minute, listen to my side of it. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I’d locked the house with both house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get my keys.”

“Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire.”

“When I finally got to the store a bunch of people were waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people, all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook.”

He continued, “Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels and the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cra cked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it. Half of them hit the floor and broke.”

“Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got back to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer. “

“And believe me, mister, as God is my witness, all I did was tell her.”

CattleWe have a 5000 head backgrounding facility and bull test. This is an excellent opportunity to compare genetics in the real world and has guided our genetic program for the last 20 years.

Grain ProductionGrain production is a major part of Soderglen’s diversity. With 5000 plus acres under cultivation we produce all our requirements for silage and feed and with luck on the good years a little extra cash crop. Our grain crew is an integral part of Soderglen ranches. Alejandro, Sergio and Dan are the backbone of the grain division.

Our South operation includes separate ranches — the Fort McLeod operation is now a summer ranch with cattle moved between Cardston to Fort McLeod for the summer.

Cardston is the base for wintering and calving and is managed by Roger Gerard and it maintains a cowherd of 1500 mother cows of 5 seedstock lines. Ross, Scott and Elan as well as staff from Airdrie help Roger during the busy months of calving and weaning.

Chelan, Scott & Wade Chester pulling bulls Thanksgiving weekend

The cowherd winters on native Foothills Fescue and then goes to bale grazing till May when calving starts. All calves go to Airdrie in the fall and heifers are bred in Airdrie and sent down in the fall.

All breeds of cattle, whether they are Angus, Charolais or Simmental are treated exactly the same. The young cattle are separate as first calvers and then run as one herd. They are separated by breed at branding and sorted to breeding pastures. These cows are treated no different than our customer’s cattle, as there is not a bushel of grain on the operation. Horses don’t even get oats unless Roger gets a bag in town!

This winter, my family and I undertook a project together. The project was born of two kids hope that their small actions could produce huge results. They could never have known how far that hope would go.

As in many other towns and cities across the nation, the schools in our city remember Terry Fox annually with the Terry Fox Run. When our boys, Cole, 7 and Jake, 5 participated in the run this year, curiosity was ignited within them and our family began a months long journey to learn more about Terry Fox and about cancer. When it seemed that every question had been asked, and every stone uncovered in their young minds, the discussion took another turn. The boys wondered if cancer could affect children, and then if even children could die from the disease. Many more discussions later, they declared that they must do something to help those kids affected by this devastating disease. And then, they did what all kids do when confronted with an idea bigger than them; they asked their grownups for help.

So began a search for a children’s cancer charity that would welcome the efforts of little ones, and that they could be integrally involved with. After some researching, we chose The Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta and the Shave Your Lid for a Kid program. Through the program, our family would raise funds for kids cancer research, summer camps, and scholarship programs. Our goal was to raise $10,000 in exchange for our 4 bald heads.

So began a 7-week journey to raise money and awareness for children’s cancer in our community. Cole and Jake took the helm, giving presentations to their classrooms, at church, and on the school news about their plans to raise money and to talk about the charity they were supporting. We spoke with friends and family about our plans, and through them, and the countless strangers and acquaintances we met along the way, heard endless stories of hope, grief, loss, and tragedy. It seemed that everyone we met had been touched by the devastating reality of cancer in the life of a child or someone else close to him or her. We

were encouraged and humbly inspired by these stories and by the bravery of those battling for their lives, and were spurred on to do even more, to spread the word as far as we could.

As we neared the end of our fundraising campaign, we began to worry that we would not reach our goal. Our family, friends, and community members had given generously, but we were still only 75% of the way to our goal. And then a breakthrough happened!

Soderglen Ranches Ltd. is a ranch located just outside of Airdrie, and through our fundraising efforts became aware of what our family was doing. As soon as they heard our story, they offered to help. This help would come in the form of a donated bull at their annual bull sale, scheduled to happen days before our fundraising deadline. We were overjoyed! Such a generous pledge to our efforts would get us to our $10,000 goal! Little did we know, that was only the beginning!

As the day of the sale approached, we got news that not only would Soderglen donate the proceeds from the sale of the bull, but the ranch owners, Mr. And Mrs. Stan and Jane Grad, would donate additional money on the day of the sale if members of their crew and sale participants would shave their heads in support of children’s cancer as well!

Community Gives Backby Michelle Irvine

Sale day arrived, and we were thrilled as we watched “our bull” sell for $12,500 (many thanks to auctioneer Dan Skeels)! And then, as the day came to a close, we watched as friends and neighbors of the ranch lined up to have their heads shaved bald that very day. When all was said and done, Soderglen Ranches Ltd. wrote a check to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation for $25,000!

We explained what had happened to our kids with tears in our eyes, and Cole asked, “but mom, is that enough – is that enough for the kids with cancer?”

You see, they don’t have a good grasp of the enormity of this generosity. They can’t contemplate that amount of money (we chose $10,000 as our initial goal because the boys were sure that was the “most money in the whole world.”). However, what they did feel that day, what every person in the room was profoundly affected by, was the spirit of giving and hope that prevailed.

We love this community. We love agriculture and being involved in the agriculture industry. But sometimes, we forget why we love it so much. There are hardships; a lot of them. Times can get tough, and the world can look like a very dark place. But, we teach our kids that in the darkness there is always light. In fact, where there is darkness, we have a choice to let it swallow us up, or be the light that is so desperately needed. In the caring and generous spirit of our community and of businesses like Soderglen Ranches, we see that light. We are so thankful to be a part of that, and we are so thankful for all of the caring, hopeful, and generous communities in this great land of ours.

When the day came to shave our heads bald, we had raised over $35,500 for children’s cancer… and all because two little boys listened to a whisper in their hearts telling them to help. That’s the kind of place we live in. It’s a good place, with good people. Of that we can rest our hats, and be proud!

Professionally balanced diets that provide the optimal amounts of protein, energy, minerals & vitamins are the foundation of any cattle nutrition program. At Soderglen Ranches, these diets are implemented in combination with intensive animal, feedstuff & bunk management protocols to develop an elite feeding regime that ultimately enhance the reproductive soundness & genetic potential for growth of every animal that carries the Soderglen brand. Soderglen stringently applies these aspects of feeding management on a day-in, day-out basis to insure that nothing is left to chance when it comes to the nutritional development of their Seedstock.

Reproductive soundness is highly correlated to the nutritional regime used in bull development programs. Feeding rations that are too high or too low in energy may both equally impair semen quality, albeit for different reasons. Bulls fed to obtain maximum average daily gain while on test usually result in a high degree of body condition. Bulls fed in this manner are susceptible to producing

lower quality semen and may also have reduced libido & serving capacity. Alternatively, under-nourished bulls may lack the sexual maturity required at the inception of breeding season, as well as result in large reductions in body condition which could also impair serving capacity. Matching bulls with a moderate energy ration with an optimum ratio of concentrate to forage will allow for development of structural soundness, sexual maturity, and the appropriate body condition for breeding season.

Meeting the nutritional needs to allow for proper overall bull growth and reproductive development is a complex process and is an integral part of making your future breeding bull selections. A crucial facet of bull development is providing the appropriate minerals and vitamins. A few of the most important trace minerals are zinc, copper, and manganese, along with vitamins A, D, & E which are key factors in overall animal growth, semen production, fertility, & hoof integrity. The appropriate concentrations of these minerals and in

the correct ratios are thought to be as important as other nutrients for proper development, with a large proportion coming from chelated minerals.

Soderglen Ranches & Nutrition Service Associates have worked diligently to provide a stringent nutritional regime for their operation. Soderglen Bulls have been developed using diets that allow them to express their superior genetic ability for growth & reproductive capacity whilst not producing bulls excessive in body condition. Soderglen Ranches takes great pride in the fact that these bulls are nutritionally prepared to succeed in your cattle operation.

The genetics are Simm x Angus and they are bred to be ranch cows. These heifers were selected for our commercial program but we simply have too many Seedstock cows, so something has to go! This is the first tine we have offered for sale females out of our program. We have been building our program for the last 20 years, and we have kept the top heifers from every breed each year. Now that the program has matured and we have reached capacity that we can run, we have decided to sell a select group of bred heifers in our bull sale. The cattle come from our Cardston operation and are Simm x Angus heifers bred to calve April 20th for 50 days. We AI’d them to easy calving Soderglen bulls and then cleaned up with walking bulls for 40 days.

They carry all Soderglen Vaccinations- Expressed Verified Program and have been preg. checked. We will guarantee pregnant for 30 days after purchase. They need to be picked up within two weeks of the sale. Price is FOB the yard but we can help arrange for delivery.

16.1, 1375 lbs Amigo was born, raised and trained at Andrew Reimer’s north of Fort St. John, BC. Andrew is a friend and customer of Soderglen’s and put this horse through all the ranch work you can think of. We have had this gelding for a year now and are working on the finer points of cow work and roping. He has gone through calving, branding and AI with us and now we are offering him as a finished ranch horse. Amigo is comfortable in a bosel and snaffle and this gelding is soft and responsive. He is an easy mover and covers ground well at a walk, trot or canter in a loose rein. You won’t find a trailer load of big, beautiful young ranch geldings with a solid mind like his and gentle nature. Just like our bulls if you buy him and don’t like him for whatever reason, bring him back and we will give you your money back.

AmigoSix year old Palamino ranch horse

We lost our friend Jim Sherman this fall after a long hard battle against brain cancer. Jim farmed and ranched all of his life just west of Claresholm at the base of Alberta Foothills. Our relationship with Jim and his family goes back over 20 years and Jim was known to all of you that have been longtime customers of Soderglen. Jim ran our summer calving Angus program with his son Jared for many years. In spring breakup, Jim enjoyed delivering bulls across Western Canada and visiting with the customers. We will all miss his smile, his can do attitude and pleasant personality. He was a great husband, father, brother, son and friend to all that knew him.

So that maybe someday others will not have to go through what Jim’s family and friends have gone through over the last 2 years, we are donating the proceeds of this ranch horse to a charity put in place by another old friend of Soderglen’s - Harley Hotchkiss. The money will be donated in memory of Jim Sherman to the Hotchkiss Brain Institute in Calgary, Ab.
