Welcome to Maple Line Farm and our Second Autumn Tradition Black Angus Sale. Maple Line Farm was established in 1845. We are proud to be the 5th generation to farm the land at 3320 Bradburn Road in Blackstock, Ontario. Parcels of land have been purchased and sold over the years, crops and cattle breeds have changed, but the integrity of the operation has always stayed true. Our farm slogan says it best: “A Solid Foundation, A Progressive Future.” We have been in business for 168 years due to hard work, perseverance, and the reputation we hold for being honest, fair and straightforward in all that we do. Progressive Future comes with being open to change. Our first purebred Black Angus cattle were purchased in 1986. For 27 years we have strived to improve our genetics to keep in line with market trends, but always give credit to our foundation cows that formed the base from which we grew. We take pride in the quality cattle that we produce. Purchases are made with diligence to maintain and enhance that quality. Replacement heifers are chosen with the same stringent conditions. Temperament, structure, strong maternal traits and proven cow family history are primary considerations. We firmly believe in the benefit of using good herd sires. We have purchased bulls from leading breeders across the country and have great success when using bulls from our own breeding. We sold out of yearling bulls again this year, thanks to the strong demand for Angus genetics. A sincere thank you to all who attended our first production sale in 2012. We have received word of great results from buyers who entered the show circuit with their Autumn Tradition 2012 purchases. Lots of positive feedback has come from those who put the cattle straight to work in their herds. We welcome Terry and Monica Ormiston of Southview Farms in Courtice, and Bill and Laura Staples of Westwind Farms in Omemee as consigners to this year’s sale. We are confident that you will find the cattle on offer to be an excellent group of working stock that will serve you well. We hope you will make plans to join us at the farm on October 6th. Please come early to see the cattle, visit fellow cattlemen and join us for lunch. We look forward to seeing you! Ian, Joy, Wendy and Tim Rudkin Maple Line Farm
