80% of our customers are Repeat Buyers!! bulls are raised with the basics in mind. Basics is what have made the Hereford and Angus breeds attractive for so many years. At MJT we raise sound, economical high performance traits in our cattle without sacrificing birth weights or milk. We strive for these traits on every herd bull we select, and feel our commitment to this should help you, the rancher, produce predictable and profitable cattle from MJT genetics. The cows can wean a calf crop under almost any conditions and still make you a profit. cattle are sold with the standard breeds guarantee plus our own 100% guarantee – we strive to have a good relationship with our customers and to be #1 on service. We know sometimes things go wrong with bulls and if yours should, we will have another bull in your pasture to breed your cows. At MJT we have been in the “Bull Business” for many years and this is our 22nd sale at home. Although our numbers are smaller now in the sale our quality and selection is still good, and we know good cattle can sell themselves. We are confident in our bulls and know there is no substitute for quality. MJT bulls are not pampered and are raised right from the beginning to stay sound and athletic and are ready to 2
go to work for the rancher. The majority of our bulls are calved at the pasture in the spring. 0% of MJT sale bulls have had their feet trimmed and all of our Herd Sires are sound footed. If they can’t walk there is no place for them in a breeding program. The most significant concern of any rancher is the profit he makes from his cows. We feel that having kept the basics in the cattle industry in mind our genetics at MJT should produce cattle that can put profit in your jeans. We will be happy to show you the bulls, their sires and dams at anytime. If you are unable to attend the sale but have previously selected your bull you can bid on line with DLMS, on the phone with Mick or Kurt or one of our sale staff. We do have sight unseen and we will do our best, but if you are not satisfied, you are not required to purchase the bull. We stake our reputation on selling cattle that work for the rancher. Birth weights and weaning weights are recorded and all bulls have been haltered and are semen tested. We have worked to build a reputation for ourselves and our cattle and sell every bull with confidence. There is many ups and downs in the cattle business, but there is one thing that never changes – the many ranchers and their families we have had the privilege to get to know and call our friends.

Touchdown 20X was Grand Champion at the 2011 Pride of the Prairies Bull Sale when we selected him out of 20/20’s sale string. Touchdowns birth weights are moderate and his gestation is short, making him ideal to use on heifers. We recommend his sire group to be used successfully on heifers too. Touchdowns muscle pattern and soundness impresses us as much today as it did the day we bought him.
Kurt picked this Kodiak 5R son out of Geis’s sale bulls in 2008 and when Brian delivered him I liked him right away. He has the moderate frame and muscle pattern we want. “Kodiak 5R” himself has stamped his progeny with the consistency of a true herdsire. He was named the “Premier Sire” at the World Forum. A son of 5R’s “HF Tiger 5T” was named World Forum Champion, Supreme Champion in Edmonton and Agribition. We are very happy with the calves off of our Kodiak son “53T”. His females are in production and are herd builders.

His sire, HR Hemi 176W was Supreme Champion at Prince Albert, named Reserve Champion Show Bull of the Year and a top 10 finalist at the Supreme Show in Agribition. Sizzler is a power bull with lots of top and butt.

We have selected and bred for low birth weights and calving ease in our Black Angus herd from the beginning. We now have generations of consistent low birth weights in our cow herd base. Many bulls in the sale can be used on heifers.
Calving EASE…
We have several customers who take home our bulls for use on their first calvers. We decided to make a system to help you when choosing your next heifer bull. This system is based on the following… 1. BW in lbs. 2. Consistency of BW of sire 3. Consistency of BW of dam 4. Consistency of calving ease of both sire and dam. (eg. build of calf) Always keep in mind – 50% of your calf’s BW relates back to his mother. The following is what we recommend… X Recommended for cows only XX Recommended for cows or larger framed heifers that were not big at birth XXX Recommended for heifers

black angus 2 year old bulls These big rascals were calved on grass starting mid-April. The majority are heifers first calves. We weaned them on November 14, 2014 and they went onto a haylage oat ration for the winter, then onto summer pasture. They are a good, solid group with not a lot of difference in their type. All virgin bulls and NO feet trimmed. The weaning weights are actual weights on weaning day - November 14, 2014.

Farmer’s Creed I believe a man’s greatest possession is his dignity and that no calling bestows this more abundantly than farming. I believe hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person’s character. I believe that farming, despite its hardships and disappointments, is the most honest and honorable way a man can spend his days on this earth. I believe farming nurtures the close family ties that make life rich in ways money can’t buy. I believe my children are learning values that will last a lifetime and can be learned in no other way. I believe farming provides education for life and that no other occupation teaches so much about birth, growth, and maturity in such a variety of ways. I believe many of the best things in life are indeed free: the splendor of a sunrise, the rapture of wide open spaces, and the exhilarating sight of your land greening each spring. I believe that true happiness comes from watching your crops ripen in the field, your children grow tall in the sun, your whole family feels the pride that springs from their shared experience. I believe that by my toil I am giving more to the world than I am taking from it; an honor that does no come to all men. I believe my life will be measured ultimately by what I have done for my fellow man, and by this standard I fear no judgement. I believe when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be able to stand tall and feel pride in the life he’s lived. I believe in farming because it makes all this possible. – This was written for New Holland, 1975, Author Unknown 11

bulls are raised with the basics in mind. Basics is what have made the Hereford and Angus breeds attractive for so many years. At MJT we raise sound, economical high performance traits in our cattle without sacrificing birth weights or milk. We strive for these traits on every herd bull we select, and feel our commitment to this should help you, the rancher, produce predictable and profitable cattle from MJT genetics. The cows can wean a calf crop under almost any conditions and still make you a profit. cattle are sold with the standard breeds guarantee plus our own 100% guarantee – we strive to have a good relationship with our customers and to be #1 on service. We know sometimes things go wrong with bulls and if yours should, we will have another bull in your pasture to breed your cows. At MJT we have been in the “Bull Business” for many years and this is our 22nd at home. Although our numbers are smaller now in the sale our quality and selection is still good, and we know good cattle can sell themselves. We are confident in our bulls and know there is no substitute for quality. MJT bulls are not pampered and are raised right from the beginning to stay sound and athletic and are ready to go to work for the rancher. The majority of our bulls are calved at the pasture in the spring. 0% of MJT sale bulls have had their feet trimmed and all of our Herd Sires are sound footed. If they can’t walk there is no place for them in a breeding program. The most significant concern of any rancher is the profit he makes from his cows. We feel that having kept the basics in the cattle industry in mind our genetics at MJT should produce cattle that can put profit in your jeans. We will be happy to show you the bulls, their sires and dams at anytime. If you are unable to attend the sale but have previously selected your bull you can bid on line with DLMS, on the phone with Mick or Kurt or one of our sale staff. We do have sight unseen and we will do our best, but if you are not satisfied, you are not required to purchase the bull. We stake our reputation
on selling cattle that work for the rancher. Birth weights and weaning weights are recorded and all bulls have been haltered and are semen tested. We have worked to build a reputation for ourselves and our cattle and sell every bull with confidence. There is many ups and downs in the cattle business, but there is one thing that never changes – the many ranchers and their families we have had the privilege to get to know and call our friends.
We don’t care how you get here, just come! Join us for dinner before the sale and a social afterwards!
