Memorial Trophies
The Best Group of Five Bulls award is presented in memory of Charlie Jones. Charlie was a passionate Hereford breeder who was a Director of the Alberta Cattle Breeders Association for 26 years. Charlie believed that if you wanted to buy a good bull, you had to buy it from a good string. The award for the group of five is most fitting, and, in 1972, the Alberta Hereford Association donated a trophy in Charlie’s memory.
The Doug Jones Memorial trophy is prestented to the Best Group of Three Bulls. Doug was an enthusiastic Hereford breeder who loved the Calgary Bull Sale as much as his father, Charlie. Doug and his family operated as Jones Circle V Ranch west of Balzac. He was a respected cattleman who judged many major shows in North America as well as in England and Scotland. The Calgary and District Hereford Club sponsored a trophy in Doug’s memory following his untimely death in a farm accident in 1978.
James (Jim) Hole was an influential breeder in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a long time consignor at the Calgary Bull Sale and, while never winning the Austin trophy, he did have numerous reserve champion bulls and, more importantly, many high selling bulls, a feat he achieved seven times in his career. The memory of distinguished Hereford breeder Jim Hole is honoured with the annual presentation to the Champion Get of Sire at the bull sale.

Lawrence Kallal Memorial Buckle ~
Best Group of Five
The Northern Alberta Hereford Club is proud to present the inaugural Lawrence Kallal Memorial Buckle to the Best Group of Five at the 2026 Calgary Bull Sale. Kallal is recognized as a master breeder of quality Hereford cattle, producing genetics that have had an impact on herds across North America and internationally. Winning Grand Champion honours at the bull sale in 1962 and Reserve Champion seven times in his career, Lawrence will not only be remembered for the cattle he raised but also for his skill in the showring. His passion for the improvement of the breed has been an inspiration to the next generation of Hereford breeders, and it is fitting that this memorial buckle be awarded to the bull sale consignor that brings the Best Group of Five Bulls to the sale.

4. Bulls Selling to the United States: There will be a $500 CAN export cost added to the sale price of each bull for health testing, trucking, brokerage charges and administration on all bulls exported to the USA.
