This past weekend, half of our crew headed to the Cody Sibbald Legacy Classic 10th Anniversary Junior Show in Beechy, SK.
It was a beautiful day of community, conversation and cattle, and a touching example of how so much good can come out of unbelievable hardship. Congratulations to all the exhibitors and to the Sibbald family for building a successful event that means so much.❤️

Forage. Feed. Stockpiled grass. Silage. Straw. Native. Tame. Mineral. Salt. Hay. Water.
Will we have enough? What’s the moisture content? What’s the protein and energy? How much does it weigh? How much do the cattle weigh? What’s the manure look like? What does the grass look like?
Forage and feed make up around 60% of a beef operation’s cost of production and occupies around 95% of my mental real estate.🧠😅
We produce our cattle on a real continuum of spectrums. For some of the year, it’s hands-off native grass with zero supplements. And for some of the year, it’s a TMR calculated to meet their precise needs. It’s not a one-side-fits-all, but a constant adaptation of using the water and forage we have as efficiently as possible. And lots of time with the ol’ calculator.😂🧮

It takes grass to make grass.
It takes moisture too.

Yesterday we kicked a few pairs out so it’s the start of our 2026 grazing season. It’s a good feeling to see these calves on clean ground. Their mamas picked them up right away and one impatient gal almost climbed right back up the ramp to get her calf🤣

I’m optimistic the dust will settle, the rains (snow…?!) will fall, and the water holes will be well.

Here’s to a fresh start on fresh ground.

Thank you to our customers, friends, neighbours, community, family, buyers and bidders for making our 37th sale the best one yet. We are excited to see our genetics at work in the herds of our longtime customers and our new clients too.
The cattle industry is thriving and we are grateful to be a part of it and proud to be raising another generation of committed producers. We are so excited for the future! Davidson Gelbvieh

The heart of a herd is based on the mother cow. A cow that loves to nurture her calf. A cow that breeds back year after year. You can’t decide if you want her to raise a money-making steer or a legacy daughter, but both options seem like a win.

New life. There’s nothing like it.
