Welcome

FROM JACK AUCTION GROUP What a year in livestock marketing 2025 has been…

We have set records in every category of cattle, and I’m not sure we have seen the top yet.

The Shorthorn breed has really gained momentum across the show pens in Western Canada, and in the sale rings here at home.

These long bodied roan cattle, seem to find themselves at the top of almost every bred sale we conduct.

If you’re looking for show cattle to go and be a real contender with, step right up, we have several Ag Ex banner winners and I’m sure they will do exceptionally well at Agribition or maybe you just want some cattle to add some punch to your commercial program, we’ve got them for you as well.

This sale is without a doubt the strongest set of Shorthorn Cattle to be offered in Western Canada and it really shows as you flip the pages, Good Honest Cattle from Good Honest People.

If my team or I can be of service in any way, feel free to reach out, we will be glad to help.

Brennin Jack LET’S HAVE A SALE

President’s

MESSAGE

On behalf of the Jewels of the Prairie consigners I would like to welcome everyone to our 2025 sale. The cattle market is very strong with the North American cow herd at very low numbers, so the market should be strong for some time. This sale is your opportunity to add some top quality females to your operation. There are proven cows, top end bred heifers and some fancy heifer calves that would work for 4-H. Our consigners have dug deep to offer these exceptional females,so you can buy with confidence . Feel free to contact any of the consigners or Richard Bramley of Jack Auction Group with any questions.

Hope to see you at the sale!

Sire | Gilman’s Greens Fork 50K ET

Herbourne Shorthorns H. W. Acheson and his wife Emily (nee Bourns) were married in 1930. The tattoo letters AHWA were registered to H.W. Acheson & Sons in 1958. Following the deaths of both Herb and Emily in 1975 the herd was transferred to their son on the farm. Bill became the registered owner in 1976 of the herd name and tattoo.

The tattoo was changed to HWA for 2010 and on.

The present family are Bill and Isabel on the farm, now 52 years married. Their son, Robert (1975 - 2002), their daughters Teresa in Whitehorse since 1999 and currently President of Yukon Federation of Labour; and Sheri in Fort McMurray since 2004 as a Materials Engineer with Syncrude and married since October 2020 to Rob MacNeil. Both girls have given generously of their time and resources to help at shows and to keep the farm going.

The farm had been using purebred Shorthorn bulls for many years. Beginning in the 1960’s, A.I. was used considerably. Home-raised bulls were used as early as 1980. Except for one bull for the Shorthorn International Bull Sale in February of 1974, our cattle show ventures began in 1980. We have also been contributors to the Manitoba Test Stations.

In recent years the herd has been 15-20 breeding cows. 2025 has been a year of herd reductions: heifer calves (private sales), bred cows (herd package), replacement heifers (test station sale) and now our first appearance in the Jewels of the Prairie Sale with 5 head specially selected for this occasion. We will be feeding 3 April & May heifer calves for sale next spring.

Over the years we have always stressed growth and performance. We have strived to keep the herd purebred Shorthorn, free of outcross blood lines.

All the entries are halter broke. The prime young cows selling bred were pregnancy checked by Ultrasound and breeding dates confirmed. Remember one has a chance to purchase Shorthorns of this quality only when the breeder is selling the herd.

We end with a special Thank You to Steppler Farms, Miami, MB for their purchase of the herd package of bred females (2 are embryo recipients) all 100% Shorthorn. As well, their juniors purchased 2 heifer calves.

If you are looking for Shorthorn Genetics, this is a must to put on your calendar, and even if you are only remotely interested in any way, please accept this as our invitation to come and join us at the sale event and enjoy the social atmosphere with Shorthorn breeders.

This is the calf that caused so much excitement and interest at our display at the Manitoba Test Station for the World Shorthorn Conference Tour visit July 13. Together with her dam they were named Grand Champion Female. She has always been my favourite heifer calf for this year.

Lots of performance here and style besides. Great blood lines behind her. She is carrying one copy of the Myostatin gene E226x which is only a plus for her and her offspring as long as one is careful to breed her to a non-carrier bull. Weight 4 October 2025 - 860 lbs

This bull has developed very well since purchased at the Test Station as a yearling. The quality of his calves has been beyond expectations.

He is the service sire on Sheri’s 2nd calver Herbourne HHB Kushy Roxie 9K. Both the yearling heifer Herbourne Mocha Anne 16M and the calf Herbourne BKE Nancy Anne 4N are sired by him.

His sire Muridale Thermal Energy is the sire of the two year old first calver Herbourne MTE Ruby’s Lily 3L. The dam of Kinetic Energy also calved Balmoral Oaks Eagle, a well respected bull used widely across North America.

We are purposely keeping her open so the new owner can breed her to have a January show calf in 2027. She always catches one’s eye at first sight. A comment was heard several times “Gee, that’s one nice heifer”. She had a yearling weight of 1029 lbs. with no extra feed. She has had strong heats ever since she was a year old. Myostatin Free.

She was preg tested positive for an early Feb/26 calf that should match her A.I. breeding date of May 3 to Herbourne Bundy 23P, a bull we raised from Victor Gislason’s cow Dawnvue Tilley Taylor, and Sutherland Bundaberg from the Kentucky herd of John & David Ragsdale. Exposed May 5, 2025 to Balmoral Oaks Kinetic Energy from then on.

The calf 2N is a tidy, red heifer raised by a two-year-old and has done well. Halter broke. Attracted considerable attention in our pen display for the World Conference Tour Group in July. She should breed well for her new owner. This picture of calf 2N and her dam 3L was taken Sept.15th.

Sunlite Stock Farm Welcome to another edition of the Jewels Of The Prairie Female sale! Alongside our family, we run a cow/calf operation with 550 cows while backgrounding all our own calves just south of Virden MB. With 95% of the herd being commercial cows we have seen first hand the qualities most important to this industry and have strived to create a cow herd evident of that. Strong maternal instincts, clean udders, easy fleshing and longevity are top priority here. We believe our cows are truly “ranch-raised” which has created some extremely easy doing offspring which can perform in any conditions. This set of heifers comes from the heart of the herd and we hope you enjoy them! We are always open to visitors so feel free to stop by and check out these ladies anytime.

Uphill Shorthorns Uphill Shorthorns is a 3rd generation herd which originated when my grandfather bought cattle that had been brought in from Britain to be sold for flood relief in Winnipeg in the late 1940’s to 50’s. I began building my herd in 1997 when I moved to the farm and have added genetics over the years from various herds. Herd bulls have been purchased in Canada and the United States and AI sires used as well. We strive for optimum performance without sacrificing body depth and thickness. The females need to be feminine and productive with strong feet and udders to remain in the herd. We try to maintain calving ease but don’t push the envelope too hard and lose all of the performance. We welcome your appraisal of our entries to this years Jewels sale. The cow herd has been sold so this will be one of our last consignments to the Jewels sale. It has been a real privilege and a lot of good times being involved with the Jewels group!

PAINTEARTH LADY LOMOND 58B

The Lady Lomond cow line came out of the Paintearth herd in Alberta when I purchased a bred heifer in a 4’s Company sale. She is a very smooth made, easy fleshing cow with an immaculate udder. The De Niro bull is leaving offspring with added length and volume. This heifer will see a showring if desired but more importantly will make a brood cow to be proud of.

Rosebud is a daughter of the Poplar Dell cow which we purchased at an Alliance Sale a few years back where she was my pick of the breds that year. She has matured into a very good cow who produces one of our top calves each year. Her Royalty daughter last year was entered and catalogued in the Jewels sale but unfortunately we lost her just prior to the sale. The 10M heifer has tremendous length with good depth and is very easy fleshing.

Bred to Uphill Pablo 5M on June 6 for a mid March calf.

Poplar Park Farm Poplar Park Farm was established in 1907 by Corbett and Evelyn Brown. Shorthorns have been here ever since. Norman Brown took over from his parents,he was one of the most astute cattlemen you would ever meet. John Thompson joined his uncle in 1976 and continued the herd after his Uncle Norman’s passing. We have always emphasized structure, good udders, thickness and easy keeping cattle that run under commercial conditions. Our offering is from the top end of our herd.

A sweet heifer with a bright future.

The first crop of our Saskvalley Kentucky calves and from a cow line full of longevity. Promise 30N was given a lot of compliments at Manitoba AG-EX. A thick built female with lots of length along with a great moving frame structure. A great addition to next year’s show string for anyone.

This young stud is a very unique piece. Very correct up through his front, up headed, great extension that ties into a nice shoulder with a great top, that carries into an explosive hip. 23N travels like a cat on a great foot. We nicknamed him to “NOS” simply because he demands your attention.

His mother might be the best thing about him she’s flat out awesome. We seen her we knew we needed to own this stud. She’s very long bodied, deep sided with an awesome udder and front end. She herself would take a lot of heat in the show ring. We think “NOS” will work with the utmost confidence. “NOS” is going to be safe to see heavy service in the heifer pen but yet has enough power too see use in the cow herd. Expect great things from this upcoming stud.

These heifers sell on choice!. 509N is a long bodied, long quartered female with an elegant front end.

Very sound in her overall design.

526N has the look we all desire with that flashy roan color. She herself has a hair coat that would be admired by many juniors and she is kid broke. Both of these females trace back to the great 200T from Grant Alexander’s dispersal that we were lucky enough to purchase and has gone on to have a lasting impression here at Melba Stock Farm. Remember the ages of these calves, don’t discount them because their quality speaks volumes.
