raffle heifer

BKE NORMA ROXIE 3N

Projects At The Station Roxie

RAISED by: Herbourne Shorthorns Sheri

We are so pleased to have the opportunity to offer this heifer up for fund raising for the Test Station as this year’s Raffle Heifer. She is from the top and heart of the herd. Her Dam Gushy Roxie 13G (SDA 13G) is one of the most notable cows in the Basic Herd sold to Steppler Farms. A real Beef Cow, always brought home one of the better calves. This raffle heifer Norma Roxie 3N is living up to her background and at the 84 day wt. is the top indexing Shorthorn Heifer. Her maternal 3 year old sister sold this fall for $15,500 in the Jewels Sale. If you are a purebred breeder and want genetics that are hard to beat, buy lots of those $10.00 tickets! If you are a commercial producer and want a true punch of hybrid vigour, you’ll get it from her. There is no outcross blood in this heifer. Chance of a lifetime to own a heifer like this for a $10.00 ticket. Never would this heifer been offered had it not been that we are in the process of dispersing our herd.

DONATION HEIFER PROCEDURE

The final bid in each round will denote the amount of that bidder’s donation. Example: Round 1 - Final bid is $300.00 to Ryan Smith, Ryan’s donation is $300.00. Round 2 - Final bid is $250.00 to Tom Jones, Tom’s donation is $250.00. Round 3 - The female is re-auctioned on a downward scale until no further bids are received at the low of $10.00.

Each $10 purchased (donated) represents one chance in the final draw. (Ryan Smith has 30 chances, Tom Jones has 25 chances and so on down the scale to the final $10.00 donation worth one chance each.)

One ticket for every $10.00 bearing the contributor’s name will be put in the draw barrel. At the end of the sale, one ticket will be drawn with that

the heifer.

welcome from the station president

On behalf of

Wow, what a great time to be in the cattle business! With strong calf prices, it sure makes things a little easier and adds to the optimism moving forward.

I’d like to personally thank our loyal consigners who continue to bring top-quality genetics for us to showcase. Year after year, the bulls and heifers just keep getting better, and that says a lot about the people behind them.

A big thank you to Cam, and his right-hand woman Tracy, for everything they do to keep the Development Center running smoothly. A lot goes on behind the scenes, and their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.

Thanks as well to all the consigners and individuals who step in and lend a hand when extra help is needed around the station — it’s truly appreciated.

A very special thank you to Bill and Isabel Acheson, lifelong consigners who are winding things down. Your years of dedication and support of this sale and the industry have meant a great deal, and you will certainly be missed. We wish you both all the best!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to myself or any board member. Cam is always happy to visit and give a tour of the cattle, so stop in anytime — the coffee is always on!

WELCOME from the station manager

Welcome to the Douglas Bull & Female Development Center’s 62nd Annual Sale!

The past year has been an exciting one for the Canadian beef industry. Strong cattle markets have rewarded producers for the hard work and commitment it takes to build quality operations, and the optimism across the industry is as strong as it’s been in years.

It’s been a busy year at the Station as well. We’ve completed several improvements, including the installation of all new water drinkers throughout the facility to support cattle performance. We’re also proud to introduce our new Youth Incentive Program, designed to encourage and support the next generation of cattle producers. Once again, our consignors have brought us an outstanding offering of bulls and females. Quality runs deep across all breeds represented. In addition to our individual heifers, we’re pleased to offer four pens of heifer calves, giving buyers added flexibility and volume to meet a variety of needs.

We’re extremely grateful for our dedicated group of consignors whose willingness to help — whether on weigh days, during picturing, or proofreading the catalogue — plays a big role in the success of this sale. It’s especially encouraging to see strong participation from young consignors, highlighting a bright future for our industry. We’re also grateful to our many family and friends who step up when we need an extra hand.

This year’s sale truly offers something for everyone, including yearling bulls, yearling heifers, semen packages, pen lots of heifer calves, and the opportunity to win a heifer. Multiple breeds are represented to suit both commercial and purebred programs.

On sale day, the Carberry 4-H Club will be on site serving beefon-a-bun and the always-popular homemade pies. As always, we invite you to visit the Station prior to sale day to evaluate the offering, we enjoy visiting with fellow cattlemen and talking cattle.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you on sale day.

Our Senior Herd Sire, Waukaru Pendelton 0061, sires performance cattle with style and muscle. 2023 Grand Champion Sr Bull RAWF, his offspring won every group class at Agribition 2024, and he sired the anchor bull in the Grand Champion Group of Three Bulls Denver 2025.

Built on tradition Focused on the Future

Now celebrating its 62nd year, the Douglas Bull & Female Development Center remains the longest running multi-breed development station in Canada. For over six decades, consignors from across the country have trusted the Station to develop and present their bulls and females in a consistent, practical environment that reflects real-world cattle operations.

Our multi-breed format is a strength — offering buyers the convenience of evaluating quality genetics from several breeds in one location, developed under the same management conditions. For consignors, it provides a competitive yet supportive setting where cattle stand alongside respected programs, allowing meaningful comparisons and broad buyer exposure.

The 112-day bull and heifer development program focuses on steady, responsible growth. Cattle are managed daily by a knowledgeable herds person using low-stress handling practices that promote soundness and longevity. We work closely with veterinary professionals to provide custom health care, breeding stock evaluations, ultrasound data collection, and carefully formulated rations designed to support sustainable development.

The Station continues to serve as an ideal platform for new and upcoming breeders, as well as smaller operations that may not have the numbers to host their own production sale. Through professional photography and video services, custom fitting, a detailed sale catalogue, coordinated advertising and marketing, and an experienced sales management team, consignors benefit from a respected and well-established marketing program.

This past year, we invested further in the facility with the installation of new water drinkers throughout the Station— part of our ongoing commitment to animal comfort and long-term infrastructure improvement. As we look ahead, continued updates and strategic improvements will remain a priority as we strengthen the station for future generations.

We are equally proud of our youth incentive initiatives, encouraging the next generation to gain hands-on experience and confidence within a structured, professional program.

After 62 years, our focus remains steady — develop quality livestock, support progressive cattlemen and women, and continue building a program that evolves with the industry.

Producers interested in consigning and becoming part of a trusted, multibreed program built on consistency and forward-thinking management are always welcome to reach out.

BULLSYearling

Hand-Fed Program

These cattle have been developed to promote adequate growth & muscle development all while challenging their genetics and feed efficiency. The bulls topped out at 16lbs/day on a 13% barley pellet complimented by grass/alfalfa hay and we feel they have excelled in this type of feeding scenario. The heifers were also fed a similar ration topping out at 10lbs/day.

of our Sr. Herd

Another rugged growthy Pendleton son out of a Byland female by JSF Tonto. Docile, and out of a good milker, his Ribeye EPD puts him in the top 10% of the breed. There should be thick, muscular calves in his future!

A son of the $85,000 Gilman’s Green Fork and a Mistress dam, this calf has been a standout since birth. The dam’s last two heifer calves each won the “Show Heifer of the Year” in their respective years. This is a big growthy bull that will sire those heavy fall calves. Typical Soggy Dawg son. Substantial muscling, big top and full rear quarter, this bull is a meat machine. He comes with a strong EPD profile. His Pendleton dam was in our showstring as a calf.

• POLLED

The very last of the Royalty calves and he is a good one. He is very thickly made with that soft look about him. His dam has been a very consistent producer of high quality offspring. His full sister sold in the 2023 Jewels of the Prairie sale to the Rigney’s in Alberta where she was our top open heifer. With an 80 lb. BW he should be fine to use on heifers.

This is a first calf heifer’s calf and did she ever do a fine job with him. The Isla cow line is known for added performance along with longevity. Add in the Manhattan bull and you should have a top quality offspring. BW 82 lbs.

This solid red, polled Apparition son has a lot of noteworthy qualities. He carries a solid pedigree throughout, his dam coming out of the national sale held in Brandon. Florence 2F was crowned as Manitoba’s show female of the year as a bred and has gone on to become one of our herd matriarchs. Leonardo is 100% pedigreed, carries natural thickness and tons of rib shape as well as a respectable 84 day weight of 1040 lbs and ADG of 3.83.

Another strong son of Apparition 2K who possesses more frame and added length than his brother, while still carrying adequate thickness and middle. 10N is also papered 100% and boasts a strong pedigree on both sides, with some notable names on the Marion Delight side. We can’t say enough about the Apparition bull, his calves are predictable in every way. Talisman has performed well on test, with an 84 day weight of 1101 lbs and an ADG of 4.13.

Mable bloodlines.A full brother was sold last year at this sale. FREE DELIVERY IF BOUGHT IN

With his moderate birthweight he could be used on either heifers or cows.

Big Star progeny set the pace in our bull pen last year, and 106N is poised to carry that torch again. He has ‘the look’ with added muscle, extra length, and the kind of eye appeal that commercial producers demand. His full brother sold in 2025 to Laura Tolton, proving the consistency of this cow family.

In the Limousin pen, 65N brings a slightly different pedigree and a deep cherry-red colour that immediately draws the eye. A son of Zambuka and a favourite since birth, he comes backed by proven maternal genetics, with a two-year-old brother selling through this sale last year after being used successfully on our own cows. 65N impresses on first sight, combining eye-catching colour with exceptional length of spine and serious natural thickness.

95N is a heifers first calf, and what a bull he is! He has loads of length and style with a smooth well blended shoulder.

I would recommend him on cows or well-developed continental heifers. 95N is Angus HD tested and free from all genetic defects. He is in the top 20% for CE, 35% for BW, 7% for HPG, 1% for Milk and 2% for longevity! No creep feed while on the cow and parent verified.

Calico Creek Nixon has been a stand out since he hit the ground. He’s deep, square, and an all around very attractive bull. His dam is an awesome outcross cow that I’ve been utilizing to add some frame and power into my herd through her sons. If your looking for your next Speckle Park herd sire then take Nixon into serious consideration.

These two Loyalty sons are flush brothers out of JRSF MS 43Y. Her progeny were well sought after and sold very well in our 2020 Simmental dispersal. We couldn’t resist the opportunity to raise some more 43Y offspring when the opportunity came by to purchase 43Y embryos. Take note of the March birth dates on these two blaze faced brothers.

• HOMO

We’ve got along really well using Brooks. This meat wagon is a good example of the power in his genetics. His dam came out of the R Plus dispersal. She has worked really well for us. If you like your bulls loaded with serious muscle then this guy will catch your interest.

This guy is in the top one percent for weaning weight. His dam turned ten this month and is nursing a Can Am bull calf this year. Expect to see him there next year. She has never needed to have her hooves worked on and her udder is equal on all quarters with small teats. Picture available.

He was favourite last summer so he went to the local fall fair and was shown by my grandson. I lost his dam to a stifle injury last summer. Her pedigree was strong on maternal traits and calving ease. Top Tier will bring out the best of her qualities. He should be winner.

Take note of this fellow; younger than the rest.A February 5th calf. His EPD’s put him in the top ten percent for calving ease and he still ranks in the top 25% for weight gain and on top of that he passes on strong maternal values. His two year old mother is off to a good start. This year she is raising A Walk The Line calf. She is moderate in frame score with a good udder and small teat size Picture available.

Just what you want. Born small, jump up and grab a teat, start growing and don’t stop.His numbers suggest he will sire calves that perform like him. His daughters will calve easy, milk and leave calves that grow. This is his moms first calf. Picture available. Grandsons named him Nitro and showed him at the local fair. Halter broke or at least he was!

If you like his colour you will love his EPD numbers. Calving ease, growth and maternal qualities all there.I purchased his mom as a bred heifer from Southam Simmentals. She developed a beautiful udder and popped him out effortlessly. Watched it on camera! Picture of dam available. Can't go wrong: take him home. •

Top Tier on the top and Otis on the bottom of his pedigree spells calving ease and maternal qualities and on top of that he has gained above average on test. His dam is deep bodied ,wide topped, heavy milking cow with a very good udder, and bottoms. His grandmother is nursing a W.T.L. son. Pictures available.

Here is a bull I would gladly keep for the versatility he provides, especially with that nice blaze face. This guy from the first month after he was born showed signs to be a good bull in the future and he didn’t disappoint. He’s off a bull we bought as a two-year-old from Dequier Cattle. He has really impressed so far with this guy being part of his first calf crop on our farm. I expect this guy will make whoever takes him home a very happy person.

A big powerful dark red Epic Bull with some black on him. He had a Jan 17 WT of 1635 lbs. He has a calving ease number of 12.3. His Dam is a dark Red Southam Western Force cow that we really like.

Every ladies man needs a Armani suit, right? This solid black son of NAC Ladies Man 137K has been a soggy meat machine since he hit the ground. He is deep and wide in his rib shape, and round and stout from behind. His dam is a moderately framed hard working Bounty Hunter who is quickly becoming a top producer in our Simmental herd. The Ladies Man bull stamps his calves the same, lots of mass and middle, and 5N should do the same. He has performed respectfully on test, 84 day weight of 1120 lbs and an ADG of 3.67.

Check out lot 133 JICC 13N a Battle Cry grandson out of a cow we purchased from Rendezvous Farms. Born at 98 lbs and never looked back.

Our lot 134 is a True North Son out of the first calf heifer with eye appeal and smooth mad. This guy should be an excellent candidate for the heifer pen at only 71 lbs out of a Top Tier granddaughter. He’s calving easy top and bottom.

BROOKSLAND NAVIGATOR 501N

Mader Walk The Line 92J is a proven sire and has made several top end progeny. We think this cross worked really well and are proud to offer such a solid bull that will add pounds and structure to almost anyone’s breeding program.

MFR Dreamboat 6B the calving ease maternal sire. Bred to the exciting Wheatland Next century bull. A dark red homozygous polled herd bull who will breed consistently and powerfully in your program. Udder fixing genetics and one who is sound and quiet.

A dark red, horned bull with goggles that is super long and smoothly made from front to his powerful hindquarters. He tracks well on strong feet and legs. His dam is a standout in the pasture — moderate-framed, welluddered, with lots of milk, liver red in color with goggle eyes. Her docile nature has been passed on to him. This bull would work very well in a pen of heifers.

A thick, polled bull that has shown length and eye appeal since birth. Dark red with goggles, he is correct in his movement and sound structured. His dam is liver red with lots of hair and goggles, long-bodied and neatly uddered, with plenty of milk. This bull should sire heavy steers and high-

Here is a bull that will put pounds and spring of rib into your progeny’s . Nike is a bull with nice muscle shape and balance in one package. With his TSI index at 271, you know he will get the job done. Nike, just do it!

This specimen has stood out from birth. He was a joy to watch grow all summer. It seemed that every week he gained an inch in length. This bull is definitely a head turner.

the top WDA Shorthorn heifer on test. Although she has been passed by that claim by some of the self fed heifers, watch her and by sale time may well be pushing that claim again. Her sire’s heifer calves were all picked up for breeding stock in the ’25 crop year.

A solid red middle of the road heifer that did real well in the first 56 days of the limit fed heifers. Backed off some in the 84 day wt. Still looks good. Her dam is a moderate cow that is doing her job well. Her Grand-dam is an outstanding red neck roan cow that is now a stand out in Steppler Farms Shorthorn herd. She was one of my show heifers in 2019. This limit fed heifer may be a real bargain for someone and could breed real well for her new owner.

Remembrance has been a standout since

on offer. Last year for Frontier

Here’s another heifer that I think will do good on any farm. She’s a deep made heifer out of a big cow we purchased from Triple R Simmentals years ago and a Bentley son from Perkins Land and Cattle and I’d say they made for a pretty good combination. I expect her to put the pounds to her calves and make really good females for whoever takes her home.

Simmental

Sired

This February/March born group of Simmental heifers are sired by NAC Ladies Man 136K. We purchased 137K from the Carson family in Rossburn specifically for his power and performance. He has done exactly what we hoped, Ladies Man offspring are stout, soggy made cattle that weigh up in the fall. His first daughters are calving here now and they are holding their condition well, and milking on tight, tidy udders. Their Simmental dams are all still in prime production, and are easy keeping no fuss females.

This group of Shorthorn sired heifers is a group we are quite proud of. The red heifer with white markings is sired by none other than Mosside Defender, who needs no introduction after his extremely successful show career and the great things he’s doing for the Ross’s. The two solid red heifers are sired by Apparition 2K who has also earned himself a few champion banners along the way. At the time of print, the first Apparition daughter has calved here, and she is milking well on a near perfect udder. These January heifers are hard to part with, they are out of some of our best Simmental commercial cows and I expect them to be every bit as productive as their dams.

A strong set of commercial Angus/Shorthorn heifers. 2 blues and one black. All should grow up to be big, strong cows with sound udders and great maternal instinct. We are confident these heifers will work for you and are picked from the heart of our replacement pen.

Decision Deferred Bulls:

A Decision Deferred Bull (DD Bull) is a bull who has not received a satisfactory semen test. About 45, 60, and 75% are expected to pass at 12, 13, 14 months of age respectively. A DD bull is usually a sign of immaturity and will most likely receive a Satisfactory passing with time. Any bull sold in the Manitoba Bull Test Station with a DD breeding soundness evaluation must still be above 50% normal and the veterinarian is confident that he will pass with time. If a bull is purchased in the sale, the purchaser will pay for the bull sale day and the funds will be held in trust. The bull will stay 4-6 weeks (dependant on veterinarian suggestion) at the Manitoba Bull Test Station and then will be retested at this time. If the bull receives a satisfactory grade, the purchaser can come pick the bull up and the cheque will be deposited. If the bull still does not receive a Satisfactory passing, it will be based on the suggestion of the veterinarian and consignor of how to proceed with the bull. Feed, yardage and semen retest will be the responsibility of the consignor until the bull reaches a satisfactory semen evaluation or other arrangements have been decided upon.
