The Foundation is governed by a board of directors who are heavily involved in the Simmental industry and who have a vested interest in educating youth, developing leadership, and encouraging young people to be a part of the agriculture industry.

The Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation belongs to all of those that had the vision to believe in bringing the Simmental breed to Canada, those that supported and have developed it over the past 48 years, and those that see the value it brings to the generations of the future.

The YCSA is one of the most progressive and dynamic agricultural youth organizations in Canada. It is open to anyone 25 years and under who then have the opportunity to participate in various activities across Canada.

For 2016 the FCSF will be sending 15% of the Fundraiser auction directly to the YCS program to assist in running of their 2016-17 activities. Here are just some of the great things we hear back from past YCSA members about this great program “I was a part of the YCSA program for 14 years.

I have met many youth across the country that are going to be lasting friendships for years to come. The YCSA experience has been something I will never forget. It has showed me leadership, marketing and moments and friendships I could have never found anywhere else. Youth that is excited about their operations and the breed of cattle they raise. It shows that the Simmental breed is in good hands for the future. Good luck to all of the Junior's in Lloydminster, have fun and meet as many juniors as you can. This will be an experience you will never forget.”

Tiffany Peters

“The benefits of my years in YCS program have proven lifelong; Not only through my involvement in the cattle industry but also in my role as an educator. Work ethic, social engagement, and goal setting are just a few of the skills members can attain. The Friends of Canadian Simmentals Foundation's support of YCS endeavours assists in the preparation of leaders for tomorrow.” Joe Barnett

"The Young Canadian Simmental Association program has a long standing tradition of youth development that benefits not only the Simmental breed but agriculture as a whole. As one of its founding members, I have benefited from the many opportunities that the program provides and encourage everyone to continue supporting YCSA activities as well as anyone 25 and under to join the program." Bruce Holmquist

"YCSA, from its inception, has been very resourceful in developing an inclusive, educational, mentor-ship based organization with the “The YCSA program literally opened my eyes to the world. In 1999 when I was selected to “Travel the World with Simmental” as the CSA Youth ability to push the boundaries and think outside the box. A strong Ambassador I had no idea the impact those twelve months would have on my youth organization is our future." Rick McIntyre life.

We at MRL are proud to offer this feature young female in support of the FCSF and their dedication to Simmental youth. This black female will develop into an elite matron. Sired by MRL Driller who has turned into a real breeding piece in our program with his calving ease abilities, maternal prowess and structural soundness, he is one of the most impressive herd bulls in our elite herd bull lineup at the ranch.

Driller is a son of Bundi and our elite 493U donor cow and co-owned with Come As UR Simmentals. He is also a full sibling to a feature $20,000 bull in 2016 going to Dana Johns as well as a full sibling to the dam to MRL Missile, the $100,000 high selling black bull in Canada in 2016 to Bouchard Livestock, Robb Farms and X-T. On the dams side just as impressive a young female with a bright future in our herd, an In Dew Time out of a feature Predator daughter going back to our famous 18C cow family- responsible for more of our high selling bulls over the years than any other cow family at MRL. This young female will be a outstanding cow and with a small donation to great cause and a little luck she could be walking in your pasture.

McMillen Ranching is a family owned and operated ranching outfit located near Carievale in southeast Saskatchewan. The operation spans over 10,000 acres of owned and leased land with approximately 4000 acres of seeded farmland and over 6000 in seeded and native grass and hayland. The cowherd consists of over 750 purebred breeding females of both Simmental and Angus genetics. Jim and Georgette started to AI Simmental in 1969 and imported their first fullblood female “MRL Belette “ in 1971. This was the start of over 45 years of breeding Simmental. Jim is still very active in the day to day routine and decision making. He is most certainly one of the last of the pioneers importing Simmental that are still active today. Lee and Erin, Dave and Chris, and their families are now carrying on the MRL tradition. The ranch homesteaded in 1903 now sees the 5th generation helping in day to day activities. MRL hosts their annual bull sale the first Saturday in March with over 150 bulls on offer. We are honored to have many top breeding bulls in the industry carry the MRL tattoo and proud to be herd bull suppliers to many of the top commercial operations across Canada and the Northern U.S. MRL will also host a fall female sale on December 10, 2016 offering over 150 bred females and open females and would like to extend an invitation to one and all. The past 45 years has been very rewarding and enjoyable working with such a great group of people and a great breed of cattle. We are proud to once again support FCSF in 2016 with a top breeding female from our herd.

Explorer has ranked himself as one of the highest selling red bulls in Canada this spring after selling to Westgold Farms in the 31st Annual Lewis Farms Bull Sale.

His pure mass and power sent him to the top of the charts for both his 205 day and 365 day weights. With his true herd bull character, sound structure, big foot and amount of natural muscling he will produce the right type of cattle to take our breed many places. The top side of his pedigree is new to the red side of the breed and the bottom side is stacked with breed legends. All of us from the LFE and Westgold operations are very excited about Explorer’s future in both of our herds and couldn’t be more excited to have this lot in the Foundation sale!!

Anchor D Raptor 392C was the $60,000 high selling Polled Full Fleckvieh purchased by Ferme Gagnon & Canadian Sires. Raptor is a complete package herd sire that wraps genetics, phenotype, pigmentation and EPD's into a highly marketable herd sire. He comes from a great, young Barbossa cow that is destined for greatness! Her first daughter sold to Oakview Simmentals, MB for $11,000 and Raptor being her second highlight. Raptor's sire, Maximus possesses a great pedigree being backed by cornerstone females such as Barbi 46K. Raptor has a bright future, we feel that his daughters are going to be flat out excellent and his sons will be extremely easy to market as he will add docility, scrotal and performance.

After seeing Titanium as a 4 month old we knew he was special. A calf with that much thickness, eye appeal and correctness doesn't come around often. He continued to impress as he developed, as seen in this picture at 10 months of age. He combines a moderate birth weight with explosive growth in a extremely soft made package. His dam ties together some of the best genetics in the Fleckvieh breed and he brings a different twist to a pedigree on the sire side. Beechinor Bros and Black Gold Simmentals are privileged to present this unique opportunity to add the influence of one of the premier herd bull prospects Donated By: from last year's crop to the Friends of Canadian Black Gold Simmentals Ltd.

Here is the female that was our “pick of the calf crop” for $37,000, from Wheatland! She is one of few females to ever leave the Wheatland herd, and as you analyze the pedigree on this young female, you will note the prestige individuals in it. Her dam is none other than, Wheatland Lady 351N, also the dam of the influential Wheatland 680S. On the top side of her is Wheatland Stout, a bull that bred extremely and also set records when he was only the second bull in history to win back to back Grand Champion Bull at Agribition! The matings she has been flushed to, are hands down some of the most exciting bulls in the industry today ... Olympian has been a sought after breeding piece and Breakthrough is the leading sire in the SimAngus gene pool as he is creating a wave of excitement. We are excited about Envy being a cornerstone female and no matter what combination is chosen, you will receive highly marketable and proven genetics while supporting a great cause in the Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation Auction.

As the demand for SimAngus genetics continually increases, there is no better opportunity than to acquire genetics from 2 leading producers from the Simmental & Angus gene pool. The combination of Brooking Bank Note 4040 and AJE/JY Ant Joys Elegance is truly exciting as they combine the best phenotype and genotype that can be found anywhere. This is the first opportunity to purchase embryos from the great Joy cow in Canada. She is a model Simmental female with a strong foot and great udder that we would all desire to have a pasture full of. She has produced progeny demanding $46,000, $20,500, $20,000 and $11,000 and that is just the beginning of her legacy. Brooking Bank Note 4040 is the $125,000 phenom that stems from one of the best females in the breed and he is proven to be a curve-bending sire that combines calving ease with power while adding maternal and phenotype to his progeny. When we were asked to donate, we felt we needed to offer our best and these embryos are nothing short of that.
