Artificial Insemination is FULL ON &
check out this Flush Opportunity!

27-04-12


Another busy season is upon us. We began breeding on April 16th so that we can have calves arriving in later January – early February 2013. We synchronized our yearling heifers of all three breeds so we could have them calve around the same time before the majority of the cow herd. Cole will AI (Artificially Inseminating) approximately 180 cows and will begin segregating females with our natural sires on May 15th when the grass is finally green.

While working on breeding we are currently flushing 16 Donor females and plan to implant over 100 embryos. We also plan to offer several Hereford Donor embryos at the upcoming World Hereford Conference to be held from July 15th - 18th in our home town of Olds. Embryos selling on our top cow families will include ; "Firefly's" "Nylon" "Unique" "Gwen" "Ronda".

We are currently offering a flush opportunity on Harvie OVHF Unique 80W
2011 High Selling Hereford Female in Canada. Call for more details.

Cole is AI'ing this Simmental yearling heifer to our new herdsire KOPP FINAL DRIVE 33Y co-owned with Virginia Ranch purchased from Kopp's Spring Bull Sale. Once Harry & Michelle are finished using him we will be running him naturally on most of our Simmental yearling heifers. We have some power packed natural herd sires this year. As for our black females we are using Harvie Lucky Seven 167Y a Pepsi 61U son!

The Harvie Family Welcomes You
Harvie Ranching is a family run operation that was established over 35 years ago. The farm is located on the edge of the foothills at Olds, Alberta. Harvie Ranching calves out over 250 purebred Polled Hereford, Charolais and Simmental cows annually. Our operation believes in raising cattle that work in all different kinds of environments around the world but still work for the local commercial breeder. Through the use of artificial insemination and embryo transplant we are able to get outcross genetics into our herd from around the world.

Harvie Ranching holds two cattle sales per year. The bull sale in held at the end of March where we have on offer Polled Hereford, Charolais, and Simmental bulls.

The second Saturday of October is our annual Hereford Production Sale. At this sale we have on offer elite herdsire prospects, show heifers, replacement females, donor cows and exciting embryo opportunities from our top donor cows. Through our website we market semen and embryos year round.

Harvie Ranching genetics can be found all over the world. Our program has produced National Champions in England, Sweden, Ireland, South America, USA, and Australia. We are always searching for that new exciting young herdsire that will change the industry for the better.

Visitors are always welcome to come and have a farm tour of Harvie Ranching. We would be please to show you our farm and breeding program.

Sincerely
The Harvie's
