Upcoming Private Treaty Bull Selection
summer pasture & herd tours
Our next crop of Shorthorn Yearling Bulls is currently out on pasture with their dams, developing the natural soundness and muscle they need to perform for commercial cattle producers. Held to a strict zero-tolerance standard for structural integrity and feet, this group of functional yearlings will be sorted and ready for viewing at the farm in Irma, Alberta this coming winter. Contact us today to get early data or to look at our reference sires.
The best way to evaluate our upcoming yearling bull crop is to see the cows that raised them. We welcome commercial producers and purebred breeders to visit the ranch in Irma this summer for a pasture tour. Come see our Shorthorn cow herd working in their natural, everyday environment on grass, and see firsthand the maternal power, udder quality, and structural soundness driving our program.
shorthorn genetics engineered for the commercial producer
hard-culling & arid hardiness
Based out of the notoriously arid hills of Irma, Alberta, our cattle are forced to perform in tough conditions. We hold a strict zero-tolerance policy for structural integrity issues. If an animal cannot maintain its feet, legs, and body condition on our land base, it does not stay in the herd.
maternal excellence & fertility
A profitable cow herd starts with high-maternal efficiency. We select ruthlessly for perfect udder quality, docility, and early fertility. Our females are expected to breed back on time, calve unassisted, and raise heavy calves year after year.
50 years of seedstock integrity
For five decades, the Lingley family has maintained a deep commitment to the beef industry. We blend traditional breed character with modern performance metrics, ensuring our bulls and females provide the hybrid vigor and carcass quality that commercial cattle operations demand.
Lingley Livestock strives to produce some of the best females in the business. They have to maintain condition, milk well and above all else be extremely sound. Check out some of our featured females!
Want to see the bulls we are using over our cows? We select heavily for muscling ability, docility and calving ease. Our bulls have to be trouble free and low maintenance.
Interested in the cattle we are currently offering for sale? Feel more than welcome to check them out. We offer yearling and two year old bulls by private treaty every year. Looking for females? We can help you out there too.
