WELCOME

On behalf of Cockburn Red Angus we would like to welcome you to the annual Cockburn/Merit bull sale. We would also like to thank all of our buyers and bidders in the past sales, your support is greatly appritiated.

The future of the beef industry has never looked brighter, we are experiencing all time high prices. With beef cattle numbers at a low, things are looking very positive for prices to remain strong for many years, selecting a high quality sire will be very important in moving your cow herd in the right direction and getting top dollar out of your calves.

Our bulls are developed with longevity in mind. They are fed to meet their potential to emphasize on muscle development, not to over fatten and jepordize there longevity and fertility. The bulls will all be fertility tested and gaurenteed breeders. We feel this group of bulls is one of our strongest yet, and consists of both easier calving bulls for heifers and higher performing bulls for cows. We spend countless hours and many miles sourcing some of the top genitics in the breed to ensure there is a bull to meet everyones needs. Due to a limited number of simmental bulls this year we have decided to offer them for sale off the ranch rather than in this years sale, but look for a strong group in next years sale.

We make our living soley from our cattle. We have built our herd around strong cow families emphasizing on sound feet and legs, thick easy doing cattle with good udders, and herd sires with muscle, performance and doability as well as calving ease. Our purebred cows are ran on native grass along side our commercial cows with no special pampering or creep feed. We believe our cattle should work harder than we do and we cull strickly to ensure we stay on track.

We invite you to join us on March 30th at Johnstone Auction Mart in Moose Jaw, come presale for lunch, refreshments and to veiw the bulls. For any questions or to tour the bull pen or cow herd feel free to call. I look forward to visiting with you.

Break Out was the high selling bull in the 2012 SSS bull sale. We purchased him on the strength of his sire and maternal strength of his dam, who is one of the most impressive cows in the very deep SSS cow herd and he has not disappointed. His first sons were the highlights in last year’s sale and will again be this year. We believe his real legacy will be through his daughters. They are phenomenal, soggy made, big ribbed, beautiful uddered females. Break Out’s influence will be a huge part of our herd in the future.

He is sired by Breakout who’s first sons topped our sale last year and his first daughters are now calving and look phnominal. Busted’s dam 233T is a never miss cow with sons at Wildcat Creek in Kansas and Jason Breault’s, as well as several daughters in our herd.

MERIT CATTLE CO. Firstly we want to take the time to say a HUGE and sincere thank you to all our customers, friends and family in this business that helped shape a successful and memorable 2014 for Merit. We are truly thankful for each and every one of you!

Congratulations to all of you that have finally been able to reap the financial benefits of this business by hanging on to the cows’ tail, it was a long haul but she pulled us all through.The industry is more positive and exciting than ever and it’s a great time to be involved in agriculture. That being said, we hopefully can retain and attract young people to carry on.

We love what we do (most days) and are constantly striving to improve our product. We have found in our 31 years in the Angus business the basics have to be sound and solid first before another direction is taken. We won’t sacrifice what makes the Angus female great for the sake of numbers or trendy paper. “Good numbers” and “good paper” are relative to your needs and management. To quote Tom Blacklock, “Good cattle make good pedigrees, not the other way around.”

There are loads of good Angus bulls in the country, so why come to Merit? The Merit focus has always been bull basics driven by our commercial customer base. Calving ease, good growth, high vigor, exceptional foot structure, great hair, good temperament, backed by sound and functional momma cows. 30 plus years of genetic predictability takes the guess work out of your purchase. Like our customers, we are the ones who provide the manual labour, so our tolerance for ‘management’ cattle is extremely low. It starts with cows that are designed with the capacity and hair coat to be efficient forage converters with feet and udders that will last into their teens without intervention, and sound maternal minds so they stay in the herd long enough to be profitable.

Merit bulls are managed for optimum growth and soundness. They are highly exercised and athletic as the field they are housed in from weaning to bull sale time is set up for maximum exercise with hay, pellets, water and bedding locations forcing the bulls to travel. The bulls are walking a minimum of 1.6 miles a day!

Macy & Barbie

Garrett and Layla

Carson & Casey

2015

We feel this year’s group of bulls is our strongest and deepest to date. There are bulls to fit everyone’s needs and budget. There are calving ease bulls designed for your heifers and growth and power bulls designed for your cows, all backed by quality Merit maternal genetics so the heifers that you retain will be sound, productive and profitable. Please feel free to call, email or text. We are pleased to add Jim Nugent to our sales staff this year. Jim comes to the team with 23 years of bull buying experience for the PFRA. Our sales staff is highly competent and trust worthy so feel free to ask them about the offering as well.

77 was purchased by Right Cross Ranch and Ringstead Ranch in our 2011 bull sale.

There were so many things 77 had to offer to suit our program that we just couldn’t find anywhere else, that we used our in herd right to semen on him. 77 is a soft made, deep bodied performance bull with a great foot. He displays true herdbull character and moves like a stud. 77 is in the top 10% of the breed for growth traits, above average for milk, and in the top 1% for scrotal. 77 sons exhibit performance and loads of hair that are essential in siring top selling steers in the fall. His Socialite dam has been a great producer for us.

We felt that his greatest potential would lie in his daughters, and boy, are we right. They are beautiful females, with well balanced tidy udders with small teats. They are angular, moderate and soft sided. We are excited for the impact the 77’s will be making in our program for years to come.

We had high expectations for Iron Will when we purchased him as the $31,000 high seller at Bar E-L. Since then he has continued to impress us with his exceptionally consistent progeny. They are high performing, deep sided, hairy and sound… traits that we strive to produce for our bull customers. None of this comes as a surprise as his dam is one of the most powerful and consistent producers in the Longshore herd.

The females from this line are impressive. Iron Will daughters are soft sided, massive ribbed, and fertile with beautiful udders.

Iron Will sons were extremely popular with our customers in last year’s sale. We felt so strongly about what Iron Will has to offer that we retained two sons in our herd, Big Dawg 3049 (last years high selling bull to Double F and Lock Farms at $30,500 for 2/3 interest) and Klondike 3159. Calves from all three bulls are looking great. You’ll be seeing a lot more of these ‘yellow tag’ bulls in the future.

Prowler was used exclusively as an AI sire on our heifers. We chose him for calving ease with respectable performance in an attractive package. His calves came easy with a short gestation and good vigor. His daughters are moderate, easy fleshing and good mothers.

What we most admire about the Prowler progeny after using him for 3 years on heifers is his calving consistency and his ability to leave progeny that have muscle, depth and eye appeal with no throw aways.

Maverick combines predicable maternal and growth genetics in an eye appealing package. His sire 6323, “Viking”, is a product of the Socialite family and was used successfully on heifers at Merit. Maverick is below average for birth weight with good growth, above average milk and top 1% for scrotal. His calves exhibit tremendous length and loads of vigor at birth. We share possession with the purebred herd of Gary Gervin in Manitoba.

We consider Free Ride to be one of the very best breeding sons of the popular TC Freedom. We have long admired his progeny for their performance, soundness, and exceptional hair coats. His semen was exclusive, so when an opportunity arose to secure some at the Southland dispersal, we didn’t hesitate. His progeny at Merit are exactly what we expected. They are long sided, loose made, and sound structured with great hair.

As a result of bylaw changes within the Canadian Angus Association, Merit will be retaining a “NON revenue” sharing interest in every bull we sell.

This allows Merit to collect semen on any Merit bull in the offering for in herd use only. This will be done at Merit’s expense and the new owner’s convenience. This is the same as in past sales but the change now means that ‘Merit’ will remain on the registration paper as an owner in order to satisfy association rules. This will apply to all bulls unless other terms are announced sale day.

His two full sisters are gorgeous females and were both high sellers in the ’13 Harvest Classic. We bred the cow back the same way in spring of ’14 to get another full sib female because we loved his full sisters.

We can’t stress how much we love our 77X daughters.

MERIT CA

No frills, functional females with the utmost attention paid to structure, udders, disposition and do-ability. Our cows graze stockpiled grass as late as possible in the year, and when we are lucky and Mother Nature allows, even past Christmas. They are then fed hay bales with lick tubs on a half section until February. They are not supplemented with grain, fed silage or out swath grazing annual cereals.

Our females are taught to rustle for forage at an early age, with heifer calves being weaned on pasture and never confined to a ‘pen’ until it’s time for them to calve.

They are not perfect, but we are trying our damnedest to produce the best Merit Mommas possible.

The Angus cow is still the best mother cow in the world, as long as we remember what got her there in the first place. It sure wasn’t because of some numbers on a piece of paper.

There’s style, hair, structure and performance in this Iron Will son with a real “look” to him. His dam produced until age of 12. He has two ½ blood sisters working at Wheatland and they are very easy fleshing and moderate with exceptional udders.

He is a maternal brother to Merit Klondike 3157, the power packed Iron Will son we retained in herd last year. It’s no accident here that the Socialite family shows up on the top and bottom side of his paper work. The Forte daughters are doing a superb job and are like peas in a pod, they are moderate, tanky, and soft sided with good udders.
