Rusylvia Cattle Co. owned and operated by Ken and Josie Pashulka, and sons Tyson, Riley, and Taylor from Derwent are no strangers to winning big in the show ring, and over the fall and winter, the Pashulka’s have been continuing to do so.

Starting in November of 2022, the Pashulka’s began to show their yearling Purebred Maine Anjou bull Mr. Rusylvia We Deliver 39J. We Deliver had sold in their March 2022 bull sale with Rusylvia Cattle retaining half interest and full procession and a syndicate of purebred and commercial producers bought the other half. The plan in the spring was to show him in the 2022 fall show run and that they did- racking up many awards.

“Mr. Rusylvia We Deliver 39J is a yearling bull that won a lot of shows as a calf in the fall of 2021 and again this year as yearling. He will be 2 in February and we will be showing him again this coming fall,” said Josie.

Mr. Rusylvia was Champion All Other Breeds at the Olds Fall Classic, Champion All Other Breeds at the Lloydminster Stockade Round up, Champion Maine Anjou Bull at the Farmfair International in Edmonton, and again in Agribition held in Regina he was successful with bringing home the Champion Maine Anjou Bull.

“What we were probably most excited for was when He was Top 4 in Stockade Supreme for Bulls, and Top 10 in Agribition Supreme for Bulls. We brought Mr. Rusylvia We Deliver 39J to the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado in January, and he brought home the Reserve Champion Maine Anjou,” explained Josie. “Going to the National Western Stock Show in Denver is like someone participating in the Olympics; it is a really big deal and to win reserve champion is extremely exciting, this is pretty good for Canadian genetics. There is a lot of work that has to be done to bring an animal down to the U.S. and Riley, Taylor our sons plus Nick Wasylik did an amazing job showing him and taking him on the 8 day, 5000 km journey

The amount of wins that Mr. Rusylvia We Deliver 39J is attributed to his superb genetics; and due to this Mr. Rusylvia We Deliver also has his semen available in Canada, USA, and Australia.

Mr. Rusylvia was not the only member of their herd to be shown, they also brought females which received champion wins at all the fall show.

The Pashulka’s are now busy with calving and getting prepared for their on farm Bull Sale March 1 offering Simmental, Black Angus and Maine Anjou.
