Can You Imagine Life Without Farms?

Can You Imagine Life Without Farms?
Raising pedigreed cattle is a lifestyle at Rendezvous Farms. It takes a
passion for this particular kind of work. Breeding and marketing pedigreed livestock is a far cry from the romantic image of cowboys on the
range huddled around the campfire at grandmother’s farm with a red
barn in the yard.
For us at Rendezvous, it’s been a life’s work. Selective breeding of
pedigreed livestock requires a whole lot of physical and mental effort,
all directed towards the production of a more quality intense calf crop year
after year. This is challenging year-round work regardless of sunlight,
darkness, temperature or weather. It takes a lot of commitment and
conviction to see our decisions through. Very much like surfing, developing and leading a genetic-breeding operation requires plenty of strength
and agility. It takes stamina to build the skills needed to roll with each
wave. No magic beans here.
Rendezvous Farms constantly renews and improves its own genetic
livestock pool in order to grow and enhance its pedigreed herd, and
move the program beyond what’s been done in the past. A favorite quote
I like is this: “If you always do what you always did, you will always get
what you always got.”
Our team here at Rendezvous have tried to put this particular quote into
practice. How? We’ve moved our current purebred program forward by
following a self-imposed rule of acquiring on an annual basis nothing less
than the full ownership of new and higher quality male only genetics for
our large all-papered herd of combined Red, Fullblood and Black Simmental females. For this co-owner of Rendezvous Farms, my bottom
line boils down to this: valuable genetics greatly enables or enhances
a cattleman’s success.
Long ago, my father Laurent Maguet, founder of this organization instilled in us his cardinal rule of always taking herdbull buying seriously.
Because of that, we’ve always stuck to a serious herdbull purchase
gameplan no matter how many distractions came up and we have
learned from mistakes made along the way. I would like to believe that
Rendezvous Farms always acknowledged the bull buying challenges,
yet we had the confidence and foresight to see the benefits that the end
results would bring us.
We are proud that we exclusively own all of our many pedigreed herdsires. There are neither bull partnerships at Rendezvous or any usage
of someone else’s A.I. bulls. We buy our own herdsires and then we use
them heavily. Most of our active herdbulls are displayed on the back
cover of this magazine. Today, our farming operation is principally managed by my two sons,
David and Gerald. These young men take their work seriously. They
have a forward-facing vision of where they want to take Rendezvous
Farms. Their management style is remarkably positive, revolving
around the future. They have learned to become comfortable assessing risk and never refusing to step out of their connection comfort
zone to take the appropriate action for the good of Rendezvous Farms.
There are many obstacles Gerald and David must confront. Their balanced strengths ensures that all angles are considered when dealing
with challenging herd, grain or general farm issues. Ultimately, this leads
to wiser decision-making and protects Rendezvous’ grain lands and
cattle programs from going down the wrong path. At some point, my sons
also have to trust their instincts and our combined intuition.
Our Annual Bull Sale has grown in size and seriousness. I will not go into
any specific details about our offering. Every year David prepares for
you in this magazine his very own personal comments on every individual lot selling. Text or call David and Gerald to discuss any questions
you may have. You will receive their candid analysis to help you keep
your prospective selections in proper perspective. I can assure you it
will be a constructive conversation because these young men know our
sale offering very well and can be of assistance to anyone that asks for
their advice, opinions or ideas. You still might not like the answer, but at
least you had the discussion and that’s information you can take in and
decide what you want to do about it.
Therefore, on this Holiday-Monday, Feb.15, Rendezvous Farms will feature for you a spirited ‘animals in-the-ring’ public auction, offering you
a combined 136 sons and daughters of Rendezvous genetics. Come to Ste Rose Auction Mart and witness this fresh display of Simmental opportunities. Every lot is “Rendezvous-One-Iron-Brand”, all with

Sales Management Comments
As agriculture people, you can’t find any that operate as well as quality business people as the Maguet Families at Rendezvous Farms. Aside
from operating one of the most outstanding Simmental herds in the nation, a large, well planned & expanding grain farm is also a big part of their
agriculture contribution.
Whether it be cows or grain, a very methodical intent is always executed. To back up that statement relative to the Simmental herd, simply examine
the high level of quality herdsires that have been very DEEPLY invested in to anchor an incredibly high quality, high volume annual bullpen. The
clientele support has been continually growing provincially and now expanding past the Manitoba borders in recent years. Although always known
as a quality Simmental herd, the more serious acquisitions of expensive herdsires, the professional business reputation of the Rendezvous team,
and an increased effort of better promotional avenues has elevated Rendezvous Farms to an all new high level to their stature in the business world.
We have also started to really see the replacement quality heifers that are marketed annually through this sale, go on to perform in spades for their
new owners. Prior to writing this editorial I have visited operations such as Clearwater Simmentals in Alberta who will have a sale season feature in
their Bull Spectrum offering that is mothered by a female we purchased on their behalf from this very sale. I have also had a recent visit to Percyview
Farms in Saskatchewan who have purchased multiple females from Rendezvous Farms and are very satisfied repeat customers.
As bull buying advice, we suggest you consider an early dated sale such as this, that is so deep in quality. The “norm” is lesser bulls tend to cost
more later, the 2015 sale season was not an accurate occurrence. With the large sire groups at Rendezvous Farms, your selection will be in multiples and your dollar will go further.
Please contact us at anytime to discuss Rendezvous Farms. We are always happy to appraise the program for you. If you are absolutely unable to
attend, also feel free to call on us to handle your bidding requirements with our industry-leading, highly-trusted order-buying services.
See you in Ste. Rose,
Transcon is now approved to accept

Hummer 217U has turned out to be one heck of a breeding bull. His sons and daughters are the kind of cattle that are so right for the times. His sire is the $38,000 Wheatland Red Hummer 608S who was purchased by Double Bar D and Swan Lake. The dam is a tremendous R Plus Red Ribeye cow who goes back to LaBatte’s famed IPU Red Pocahontas 105L cow.
The 105L cow is the dam of Robb Farms’ famed 71N cow that has made them big dollars in the last few years. Enough about pedigree and past accomplishments, the IPU Red Hummer
217U bull saw heavy service the last few breeding seasons after seeing how his first crop developed so well. What we really like about Hummer is his large, wide, square made quarters.
When you walk behind him, one can’t help but be impressed with the pair of pants he boasts. His length & scale is another huge selling point. He has matured into an elite herdsire here
at the farm and anchors our red program. Hummer’s calves are born easily and at two days of age, they are all the same -- low set and the widest topped babies on the place. Hummer
raises the cowboy kind of bulls who will only make you money. REF.

IPU Nero 274X has made a name for himself very quickly. The fact that he’s a Polled
Fullblood meat machine may be part of the reason. We selected Nero at LaBatte’s in
2011, where he was our pick of the Fullblood bulls that year. A long, smooth made, easy
fleshing bull, that’s low set and deep bodied. Nero is extremely well filled in the flank area
and travels quite smoothly. Add all of the above plus a pedigree that’s second to none,
and it’s no wonder that this bull is doing things right. Nero has taken our Fullblood program
by storm, his sons averaged $9375 in our 2014 sale & $9083 in our 2015 sale. . This bull
is definitely one of the very best Polled Fullblood bulls to walk in North America & has
impressed all visitors at the farm. Buy with confidence in his progeny. REF.

They say you should always be in the market for a good bull, even if you don’t need
one at the time. This is exactly what happened with MFR Benjamin. Our friend Ben
Wright had “bugged” us a few times about this “pretty damn good red bull” in Grenfell,
SK. Sale day came around & we had enough bull power so why spend more money
right…the phone rang that morning with Ben encouraging us to pursue this bull.
Auctioneer Chris Poley was also quite high on this individual, therefore we followed
the advice of these 2 young professionals. It turned out to be a great move; we were
thoroughly impressed when Benjamin made his appearance to the ranch. We were
even more impressed with the set of calves he sired on his first go around. His calves are deep, full in the flank, thick butted, performance style cattle. His bulls will be popular with
the ranchers who want to produce pounds of beef. His daughters will no doubt be matriarchs in the making. To top it off, the pedigree on this guy is very unique. Homozygous Polled.

The lead off & high selling Fullblood bull from Maxwell’s in 2014. Hemi’s length &
super sound structure along with his rich color made him a natural fit for our breeding
program. As a yearling we used him heavily & the results were even better than what
we had anticipated! His sons are like peas in a pod. Soggy, thick made, long bodied
& many of them with no socks, this young bull is siring some exceptionally good
progeny. His calves at 3 days of age would grab our attention. Obviously they’ve kept
on track & we are proud to showcase both sons & daughters of Hemi in our annual
sale. The pedigree on this herdsire is golden, with Bar 5 Harrach on the very top side
& the legendary Extra Best on the bottom. We feel Hemi is the right fit for not only
ourselves but more importantly, our customers’ programs.

Our pick of the Maxwell Fullblood bulls in 2012. Smuggler had the hair, length,
thickness and performance we look for in a herdbull. His calves are the same way
-- hairy, thick butted and long bodied. Smuggler is low set and very well filled in the
flank area. He kind of reminds us of the Paramount cattle and he really crosses well
with those daughters too. This exciting new bloodline to our Fullblood program will
add value to anyone looking for a performance sired bull.

Seldom have we seen a bull with so much depth of body as what Trigger displays. A
naturally easy keeping, fleshy type bull, we’ve worked him hard since we’ve owned
him and yet every fall he’s in tip top condition. Trigger was the lead off and high selling
bull at the Herdmaster’s 2012 Bull Sale where we purchased him for $26,000. Glen
Maxwell stated that this was the best red bull they had raised and coming from Glen,
we don’t take that lightly. Trigger’s style, thickness, flesh and body frame is what we’ve
been looking for. Homozygous polled as well, we’ve had numerous offers from semen
companies and individuals to purchase semen or shares in Trigger. We feel the best
way to get a piece of the pie is by owning a direct son as they are developing into
tremendous herdbull prospects.

After losing the IPU Red Caesar 11U bull after only two calf crops, we ended up
keeping a son of his, just hoping that he would do what his father did, which was
being our main heifer bull. After the first five calves were born, we knew that Caesar
584 would become a permanent fixture at the ranch. A good herd bull always breeds
better than himself, point in case is with this Caesar line. Every generation seems to
impress us more and more. The calves from Caesar 584 are small at birth, but turn
into curve bending growth machines. When touring people in the herd sire pasture,
a lot of folks seem to gravitate towards this young herd sire. To make things even
better, Caesar 584 is also homozygous polled.

One of the lead off bulls from Spring Creek’s sale, a direct son of the All In 155Y bull
& the great Linne 77S cow. Brian ranked 77S as one of his very best cows, having
raised a son like Hot Shot just doesn’t fall from the sky. His unique pedigree is another
key feature. Not many Homo Black bulls can boast being ¼ Fleck/Fullblood. Hot Shot
is low set, deep ribbed & easy keeping. We felt he would complement our “Stealth”
cattle nicely & look forward to having more of these Hot Shot calves hit the ground
this winter. Homozygous Polled & Homo Black

This Crocket son was a popular bull in the Annual Skor Sale of 2013. So popular that
he was in the first pair of bulls to sell in this highly respected Alberta bull sale. Jay
Good selected Hashtag on our behalf, where he was one of the high sellers of the
day. Shane Michelson will also tell you how highly he admired Hashtag & told us we
did quite well picking up that bull. With those words from astute cattlemen we were
quite delighted to be the new owners. Hashtag has seen heavy service the last two
years, also breeding heifers as a yearling. His calves are easy to spot, with tons of
hair, great length & are all around nicely packaged. Homo Polled to boot, Hashtag
moves very freely & brings to our program different genetics - which as seedstock
growers is essential in our business.

Finding that right heifer bull is always a challenge & a half for any producer. Red
Knight was earmarked for that purpose when we purchased him in 2014. Mothered
by a black Powerline first calf daughter, Terry & Debbie Skoretz felt he would calve
well & also give the kind of performance we were looking for from our heifers. Not
one single calf of his was assisted at birth & man do they look good a year later. Red
Knight travels like a hovercraft, smooth & steady. His muscle expression is impressive
& he is developing into a well-balanced, smooth made herdsire. You will hear a lot
more about this guy in years to come. Homozygous Polled.

Our new homozygous black and homo polled bull we purchased as the high selling
black in the 2012 Westgold and Guests sale. Stealth caught my eye when I toured
Ken’s pen of bulls. His sheer length and size was what really excited me. His sire and
dam are both impressive animals and to top it off their pedigrees are a total outcross
to anything you’ll find in any catalog. We also like the size of foot on Stealth and his
calves are easy to work with and all around a tremendous bull for our black program.
His progeny should be well received as we are overjoyed with the way he’s bred.
This will be the last calf crop to sell from Westgold Stealth, so load up on his sons &
daughters. You’ll be glad you did.

We’re quite excited with Red Express! He was the lead off bull at Herdmasters 2013.
Doug Zimmer had nothing but praise for his mother, especially since Red Express
was her first calf. Express was truly one of the thickest, deepest bodied bulls we saw
in the spring of 2013. This stout made bull is an impressive individual, one of the
only yearling bulls we’ve used that never lost any condition during breeding season.
His super dark red color is something he passes on to his progeny as well. The
combination of length, thickness & middle to this herd sire is something that blends
nicely. His calves are born small & easy, they then keep growing & performing well.
We believe Red Express will have a bright future here at RF. Look over his sons &
daughters, you will like them too! Homozygous Polled.

We knew from an early age that 115C would probably be the “big kahuna” of the bull pen. At
weaning time he earned his title, weighing in at a whopping 1155lbs! This bull is heavily muscled,
thick as peanut butter on toast, and a real meat machine. Nero strikes yet again, making his son
Polled. Bet you didn’t think a Polled Fullblood could be this thick & have this much performance?
We’re happy to confirm that possibility with 115C. His mother is a beautiful young cow. She’s
a full sister to last year’s high selling Fullblood bull that Wall Ranches of Edam, SK purchased
for their high reputation herd. 115C will add performance to anyone’s program. This is what the
beef business is all about.

Here’s a heck of a stout rascal. He’s been a performance powerhouse since birth. Yet
another son of Nero who’s polled. Talk about a tank, he weaned off mama at 1120lbs
this fall. Wide topped, good hip & stands square on all four legs with a big set of nuts.
He’s the profitable rancher’s kind of bull. A little different twist on pedigree with his
mother being a legendary Stulberg bred cow, sired by the German bull Steward. The
Stulberg cattle have had a lasting impact on our herd & to think many of them are still
producing when they are 10-14 yrs of age is a testament of their quality. A maternal
brother sold in last year’s sale to first time buyer Larry McCauley of Lundar for $4000.

This smooth polled Fullblood bull could be used in many different scenarios. His
mother is one of our oldest cows now, 14yrs of age but still going. She traces back
to a very strong cow family whom have raised countless bulls over the span of 30+
years. Denis & Donna Parthenay, our neighbors who farm west of us have used 2
sons from the Ms Buster cow over the years & purchased well over 55 bulls from
us. The Parthenays never cut corners. They buy the very best bulls they can find &
in turn the calves they sell always command the highest bid at market. Their heifers
are some of the most sought after replacement females that sell every year in town.

How many times do you hear someone talk about how they’d like to use a Fullblood
bull on their red cattle but don’t want to deal with horns. The solution is simple, use
a bull like 43C. Long bodied, nice hair coat, hard muscled & moderate in size. A bull
that could also go to work on some Hereford type cows. Kenray Ranch of Redvers,
SK has a full brother working in their reputable herd. Larkspur Ranch of Eddystone
own two maternal brothers along with Armand & Coline Verhaeghe of Ste. Rose who
have used a maternal brother as well. Sure is nice to know that this bull comes from
a cow who can produce.

A more moderate made bull with a distinct pedigree on the bottom side for those
looking for something a little different. This dark red Polled Fullblood bull is mothered
by a Full Fleck MFI bred female. 102C would be an almost Full Fleckvieh bull but as
long as they’re good, we couldn’t care less about what percentage Fleck he is, as
quality trumps everything in our minds. Low to the ground & good natured just like
his mother, he’s definitely the low maintenance type.

The absolute power in owning quality herdsires for your cattle operation is unparalleled
to any other part of the business. Once that calf is born, he either holds the genetics
to grow & perform or he will just coast like a string bean if those genetics don’t hold
any merit. 557C will pass on that ability to grow & convert forages into pounds &
make your calf crop the most profitable it can be. Lots of middle, low set & mothered
from a big powerful Kingbuster cow who goes back to Bar 15 Shenandoah, who was
a staple here in the mid 90’s. A full sister was selected by Brooks Simmentals of
Turtleford, SK in last year’s sale. Konrad tells me how pleased he has been with his

A bull who will be just over a year of age on sale day however you’d think he was
older. His sire, IPU Nero, has been our go to Fullblood sire in the last few years. It
seems you just can’t go wrong breeding any female with him. We feel his sons amplify
the same genuine traits, something that as cattle herds get larger the necessity for
quality animals also increases. A quiet individual, long bodied & well balanced. His
full brother was selected by Kelly & Lorraine Johnson for $9500 in last year’s sale.

The word Colossal may be an understatement when it comes to this brute. A Fullblood bull that is
powerful yet balanced so evenly from front to back. His numbers are stellar, weaning off the cow
at 1130lbs & ranking in the top 1% of the breed for WW, YW, MWWT & Carcass Weight EPDs &
the top 5% for Milk. A visual observation will show you he’s thick butted with a deep quarter that
hangs low, well filled in the flank & LONG with superior depth of rib. A very complete made bull,
he has all the attributes to make him a star in anyone’s herd just like his own sire. We feel this
could be one of the best Fullblood bulls to hit a sale ring all year. It gets better yet – his mother,
the 586U cow, is in our top 3 roster of Fullblood cows along with one of her full sisters. The dam
of this bull is a beautiful made cow, the kind of mother you want your future herdsire to come
from. She’s raised sons that have gone to Shawn Buchanan’s of McCreary, Belle Plaine Colony,
SK & Glen Aldentaler of South Dakota. Terms to be announced sale day. Call ourselves or

made, super length, low to the ground, wide topped, excellent conformation, he’s been a standout
all summer & sure has that herdbull look to him. Weaning off the cow at 1075lbs, this young
bull brings the whole package together & has a pedigree of gold. 450C’s mother is a flawless
Paramount daughter, feminine, easy keeping, long bodied & carries a beautiful udder. As a first
calf heifer, she raised our high selling bull in 2011 going to one of Saskatchewan’s very best
commercial herds, Thorsteinson Land & Livestock of Foam Lake, SK.

A super long bodied, easy keeping, mellow made bull who’s been a fan favorite all winter. 85C’s
profile is hard to fault. The way he stands & travels, he just has the herdbull look written all over
him. This guy ranks in the top 1% of the breed for both Weaning & Yearling EPDs. Weaning off
the cow at 1005lbs didn’t hurt either. 85C stems from a highly productive cow family, notable
sires such as Paramount, Mania, Kingbuster, Shenandoah & Meister all come up. Those bulls
all had a huge impact on our herd. Remember, the bulls you purchase today will have a lasting
impression on your herd for decades, so it would be wise to add 85C to your program.

What a well built, sound made bull. You just can’t help but appreciate his seamless conformation.
Every leg is placed perfectly, the crest of his neck arched at the right angle, all the attributes of a
top notch walking herdsire. Hemi stamps his sons all the same, with tons of quarter, exceptional
length & great eye appeal. 469C comes from an awesome, middle of the road type Supreme
female who just goes out & gets it done every year. Robert Rath of Tuttle, ND purchased a sister

This awesome colored bull always gets mistaken for a “red factor” but to everyone’s delight,
he’s in fact a Fullblood bull. Solid red bodied, with no socks, more hair than a grizzly bear &
just as thick. 138C is a first class choice for our customers who want to use a Fullblood bull on
their black cows or Red Angus based herd & drop the risk of white above the hoofs. NUG Hemi
has done a wonderful job producing sons with very little to no socks, and we think that should
especially be popular with our American friends. The dam of this bull is a beautiful, young, red
goggle eyed cow with a lovely, tidy udder. Be sure to mark this guy down.

cows while adding some milk & maintaining muscling. North SIDE Farms Ltd, the

is a bull that could go on black or red cows & work wonders. A set of steers from this
bull would get coffee row talking about your take home pay at the auction barn. The
dam of this bull may very well be our top Fullblood cow in her prime production years.
She’s raised countless bull calves in her illustrious career, plus a daughter whom we

Mothered by an outstanding twelve year old Mania cow who’s due to calve in mid

should have your bases covered with her son. We’ve retained six maternal sisters
to this son. I think that’s a pretty big statement in itself. Goggle eyed, long bodied,

that built this great breed we are proud to be a part of. Hard muscled, thick butted
& long bodied along with a large set of testicles, he will get the job done. We have
a full sister who will have calved by sale time. She’s shaping into a beautiful young

The Trigger sons have been widely accepted by the entire commercial industry. These
bulls are such a perfect fit for most progressive cattlemen. They start out small at
birth, grow out nicely all summer & then come fall they explode with growth & press
down hard on the scales. 95C is a prime example of this model - 93lbs at birth &
980lbs at weaning - ain’t nothing wrong with that in our mind. With Caesar on the
dam’s side & the old red bull who started it all, Icon 16P, this beef bull should be an
easy fit in anyone’s herd.

Somewhat of a sleeper when you go in the bull pen & start studying, but let’s not forget
going through almost 100 bulls takes more than five minutes. We quite like this calf, his
general makeup & conformation is hard to fault. His numbers are very well balanced with
99lbs at birth & 955 at weaning. Those are the cattle who yield you the highest profit every
year. The dam of this bull is a top Jahari cow. She’s the front cover kind of gal, always in
top shape & producing excellent calves is what she does. We’ve had a couple sisters to this
bull & they are turning out lovely. A maternal brother sold back in 2013 as our high seller

Affectionately known as “Jack the Bear” by Eric VanHumbeck who helps us out during
calving season. This big rascal was just that, a friendly little bear with a wide top. If
you’re in need of adding some frame to your calf crop & extra stretch, 609C will have
those bases covered, especially with his big weaning weight. Bryce Glover of Laurier,
who does a great job raising quality cattle, has a full brother in his herd & has been

Hummer will go down in the books as one of our most popular herdsires. He’s sired
a whack load of bulls over the years & this offering will be his second last to ever
sell. 608C exemplifies why his progeny has been so popular. Performance, length of
body, depth of rib & that masculine herdbull look. His mother has a different pedigree
on the top side, back to when we used to dabble in some AI bulls. She’s raised sons
that have went to Bonin Farms, McPeak Parntership & Klein Ranching along with
numerous daughters we’ve retained in the herd.

As herds get larger the thought is to run multiple half & ¾ brothers together, siring
more consistent & uniform groups of cattle. These Red Express bulls are sure taking
our program by storm, and they are very well liked by all who have visited the farm
this winter. 92C is a tag number that gets written down often, as he’s like a loaded
pizza pop, with so much capacity. This bull’s mother is a young Shamrock female who
is developing into a beautiful, powerful cow. Her first son was purchased by Korey &

Red Express hit the ball out of the park once again by siring this formidable son. If you’re
in search of a soggy made, super stout, stellar herdsire in the making, 468C is going to
be an easy pick. This baldy bull could survive in some pretty harsh conditions & still look
great, he’s just so easy keeping. Loads of maternal power & longevity on the dam’s side,
with a highly productive cow family that we rank at the top end of the scale. The lot 29,
AIA 98C bull stems from the same cow family, and we feel that’s worth mentioning. A full

will be bigger than many of the two year olds that some of the other places raise. Turn 68C loose

A genetic outcross for the bulk of our program, this bull offers a balanced set of
numbers. Moderate made, wide topped & easy keeping, these Hashtag sons are
sure looking the part. The early bull sales always give buyers the best bang for their
buck. Sitting on your hands when you need bull power always ends up costing more
money later on in March/April when producers have semen checked their existing
herdbulls. Join us for a first class meal & hospitality February 15th & check out 433C

frame score & adding maternal power. The dam of this bull is no slouch of a cow. For
a younger female, she’s always been a big girl & great mother. She raised a really

The Caesar sons are known far & wide for their calving ease & curve bending growth
abilities. With 9 Caesar sons to choose from, the selection has never been better. We
always get a large amount of inquiries for heifer bulls & I’m pleased to say we have
more than a few options this year. This particular bull was born unassisted, hence
the lack of ears on a cold New Year’s night. His Hummer mother is a super stout, big
ribbed female who stayed in good condition all year with her first calf.

Emile Brunel, his wife Irene, along with his son Derek & wife Shelly own & operate North S.I.D.E. Farms, a well known grain & cattle farm along
highway 276. Their youngest son Marc, a geologist in the oil field also helps out as much as time permits. Emile has been a familiar face around
many Simmental sales in Manitoba. He has built a tremendous foundation herd & has been using Simmental bulls since 1969. The Brunel bred
heifers are usually spoken for a year in advance. They are always a hot commodity in our area. The vast majority of their cowherd traces back to
Rendezvous bulls with the most current lines of Hummer, Specialist & Smuggler having been used.
October 22, 2015 - The Brunels sold their steer calves, all sired by Rendezvous bulls at the Ste. Rose Auction Mart. Their
top group weighed 883lbs after a 4% shrink, straight off the cows. (920lbs actual) The Brunels topped the sale once again,
commanding $2.425/lbs resulting in $2141 per calf!
Congrats to the Brunel family on producing such quality cattle & thank you for all of your purchases over the years along with your friendship!

An easy keeping blaze faced bull out of a Hummer first calf female. The average birth
weight on the Caesar sons was 80lbs for 2015. The necessity for easy calving, high
gaining Simmental cattle has become a real reality in this business since everyone is
faced running larger numbers with no increase in man power. We as breeders are no
different & have come to really appreciate bulls like 151C. The Caesar sons were one
of our most popular sire groups in last year’s sale, and we anticipate the same again
for this year. Get yourself one before the neighbor does. You’ll be able to have that

This is by far the largest offering of prospective heifer bulls we’ve ever offered & we
are thrilled. There’s a growing movement among cattle producers who would rather
use a Simmental bull on their heifers instead of a British breed. One of the most valid
reasons is birth weight consistency. Bulls like 86C are ideal candidates for the task at
hand. Moderate build, smooth shouldered, small head, an all around nice package
with that sweet blaze down his head.

Silverseal 600C is a special lot - a blaze faced blue roan/silver marked bull. This bull is thick as
bugs on a bumper. Get behind him & assess his width of quarter. A long made, big footed, well
balanced bull with so many features. I don’t care what color preference anyone has, it all boils down
to quality & this fellow sure has it. If you’re into breeding show steers with the blue roan pattern
this could be the ideal bull to raise those banner calves. The dam of this bull is a stout made cow
who’s always fat. She’s raised sons that have gone into the herds of Darwin Froese, Ray Girard

The easiest way to pick out any Stealth sired progeny is by their length, and 580C
is a prime example. We’ve always felt that raising a long bodied animal has always
yielded more pounds at the end of the day - it’s simple cowboy logic. Smooth made &
mothered by a Supreme female, quality will no doubt yield from this bull. A full brother
sold for top dollar last year to Tim Darknell of Moosehorn, MB. Tim selected three
Stealth sons along with some daughters to work in his all black herd.

touch younger than his brothers but his gain to play catch up has been wicked. 535C is
light on his feet & has a great stride. He’s filled in the flank, loose hided & thick butted.
His blaze faced Icon dam never misses. She’s been a very reliable producer, this being
her 4th son to sell. I had the pleasure of buying last year’s brother over the phone for

The importance of a Fullblood female cannot be overlooked by anyone in the Simmental
breed as they have been the pillars of any successful red or black program along with
maintaining its purity of origin. 216C may not win the major shows but she will do way more
important things then collecting ribbons. Females like 216C are the meat & potatoes of the
breed, and we always fall back on them to add pounds, performance & milk. Her Draco

14 January 2015 We’ve always believed in producing the most pay weight possible in a calf crop. Females like 190C
will definitely help you attain those heavy weight calves every year. This big girl brings the best of
both worlds, Red & Fullblood genetics at its finest. The dam of this heifer is a long bodied Bonchuk
cow. I had the privilege of purchasing a maternal sister last year for Robert Rath of Tuttle, ND.

either. The 525R cow has been one heck of a strong producing cow. Since we have
five of her daughters all in production, we felt we could offer this daughter in our sale.
This girl has that beautiful strong red with a stripe of white down her head, just like
her momma. She will be like all Hummer females, POWERFUL yet feminine, easy

If you like your cattle easy keeping & deep bodied well this darling will fit in nicely.
Loose hided, low set, she’s built like an oil drum & just as heavy too! We’ve been
very impressed with the natural fleshiness of these Express sired cattle. They are
most definitely right for the times in the beef industry. Outcross pedigree on both the
top & bottom side, this female should have the ability to raise some quality stock.

IPU Specialist & ZSL Red Express are two of the darkest colored bulls we’ve ever
used & they sure keep the color thing going. This heifer is a bit younger than some but
she will mature no different. A brother to 309C sold to B&M Morgan Farms Ltd in last

I feel like I may be repeating myself every time I start talking about these Red Express
females. However that just shows how even & consistent he breeds. His daughters are
going to be real gems & I don’t know if we are going to part with many more after this sale
so my suggestion is if you like what you see, load up on them. We had an awesome full
brother slated for last year’s sale however he was injured prior to sale time & we were unable to sell him. This heifer is most likely homo polled if I were to guess with her pedigree.

In all honesty, this heifer had the potential to be one of the biggest heifers of the group
however we found her mother dead in pasture in early June so this calf was on her own at
four months of age. Even when we pictured her, Ron Raffray told me we should be keeping
her because of how quiet she was & how good her mother had been to us for almost 12
years. The 136P cow was one of our very best Kingbuster cows. Most notably she raised
a son that sold for $8250 to Bar 7 Farms Ltd, the Gilmores of Kelwood in the 2014 sale.
Kirk told us that his 136 bull was his favorite bull on the place & we can attest that when
Monty, Bruce & Kirk buy bulls, they buy the very best bulls.

14 January 2015 Two generations of black blazes with this female makes it difficult to see her sell. This long bodied,
deep sided, thick made heifer is a matron in the making. She tipped the scale this fall at 800lbs right
off pasture & hasn’t slowed down. Look to this female to be a shining star in anyone’s program. Her
pedigree is very unique, and rich in powerful herdbulls who have walked our program over the years.

Another good solid built Hot Shot daughter, a twin to another heifer so we felt it was
only fair to retain one & sell the other since they are like peas in a pod. A maternal
sister sold in last year’s sale as one of the high selling females to Spring Creek
Colony of Walsh, AB for $6000. Andy runs an elite & efficient operation in southern
Alberta, and knows how to pick the good ones out, be it over the phone or in person.

A very stylish, fancy blaze faced prospect for anyone looking to add some chrome to
his or her black program. Two generations blaze is just icing on the cake in everyone’s
mind. This heifer should be the perfect blend of performance & moderation considering
when this girl was born. She also shares a birthday with my fiancé, Rachelle & local
Pioneer corn salesman & friend David Boerchers.

20 February 2015 day however once mature she should develop into an impressive female. These Hot Shot females
are really impressing us in their development. They will no doubt make tremendous mothers. Last
year a brother was selected by Bertram Farms of Birtle. We were pleased to have Charles as a
new customer.

location. The right of property shall not pass until after settlement is made. Transcon Livestock Corp.
reserves the right to require a certified cheque as settlement before releasing any sale cattle. Should
any purchaser fail to settle for his purchase Transcon Livestock Corp. reserves full power to resell the
animal to the best advantage either publicly or privately, without further notice. Any loss arising from
such resale together with keep and all other expenses shall be payable by the defaulter. All settlements
must be made with the clerks of the sale before any cattle will be released.
BID - Every animal consigned to the sale must be sold by auction. No private sales will be allowed
except as otherwise provided for in the terms and conditions. No by-bidding will be permitted. Each
animal will be sold to the highest bidder.
SALES TAXES – Applicable sales taxes will be charged on semen, embryos and trucking fees (if listed),
respective to the home province of the buyer, not the seller.

further bid is made the buyer will be the person from whom the auctioneer accepted the last bid. The
auctioneer’s decision in such matters will be final.
PURCHASER’S RISK - Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as sold. Animals will
be cared for at the purchaser’s risk for a reasonable length of time.

CATTLE PICTURES - The images in this catalog are believed to be accurate representations of the
individual animals. Transcon Livestock Corp. and Jamesway Enterprises Ltd. assume no responsibility
if the images as received have been altered.

association and duly transferred will be furnished to the buyer of each animal after settlement has
been made. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine the acceptance of this certificate in any

into his province or state. Transcon Livestock Corp. assumes no responsibility for the health status
of any animal in the sale.

neither the Sales Management, auctioneer, consignors. or Association assumes any responsibility in
this matter and disclaims any liability legal or otherwise in the event of accident or loss of property.
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS - The above terms and conditions of the sale shall constitute a contract
between the buyer and the seller and be equally binding to both. Resale of animals following purchase
in this sale shall constitute a separate transaction and the rights and obligations of the two parties
connected thereto are not covered by the terms and conditions of this sale.
TRANSCON LIVESTOCK CORP. IS AGENT ONLY - It is to be clearly understood that Transcon Livestock
Corp. is only acting as a medium between buyer and seller and is not in any way responsible for any
failure on the part of either party to live up to his obligations, neither does Transcon Livestock Corp.
assume any financial obligations to collect or enforce collection of any monies between parties, and any
legal action that may, in exceptional cases, be taken, must be between buyer and seller.
