I will say it again… The best stock to have into today’s crazy marketplace is LIVESTOCK

A great representation of Simmentals, Charolais and Simm/Angus bulls will be on offer. These bulls exemplify some of the best characteristics, each breed boast. From sound made power bulls to more calving ease type bulls will all be available here at the first annual Transcon’s Virden Bull Sale.

The later date of April 4, gives these bulls the time to be growing out and developed properly. Bulls that aren’t force-fed to have the big weights in February and early March.

Big Hills Simmentals

Welcome to the sale and thank you for joining us in Virden. We are proud to offer our top bulls from both spring and fall calving programs. These bulls represent proven and respected bloodlines from across the industry. Updated genetic testing and videos will be available prior to the sale through the Transcon website.

Marcischuk Farms was founded in 1964 when my parents purchased their first quarter of land northwest of Rackham. Through years of hard work and dedication, the farm grew to include a variety of livestock and cropping enterprises, shaped by the strong work ethic that continues to guide us today.

Our passion for Simmental cattle began with the purchase of our first Simmental bull in 1974. That decision led to decades of involvement with the breed and, in 2002, the opportunity to establish a registered Simmental herd. Since then, we have focused on producing cattle with strong genetics through both natural breeding and artificial insemination, with particular interest in polled Full Blood, Purebred, and Black Simmental cattle.

Thank you for your continued support and interest in our program.

Welcome Firdale Simmentals

Welcome to the Virden Bull Sale.

We are very excited to show case some of our finest bulls this year. We are a family run purebred and commercial Simmental operation striving to make the best animals we can, by using select AI sires and proven herd bulls. We focus on temperament, udder quality and overall soundness. We are currently running 150 cows 75% of our calves come from home raised bulls so we can confidently back our own program.

We would like to thank past, present and future buyers who continue to believe in our program. Without the support doing what we love wouldn’t be possible. Devon

This guy caught our eye right from the start. He’s a thick deep bodied docile bull sired by the famous Betts bull and out of one of our top producing cows. We are really proud of what this bull has turned into, If you’re looking to make some baldie calves he’s your guy.

A nice moderate framed bull coming from a very maternal cow family, his mother is a female maker and he’s the first bull she’s given us. Crossed with our new herd bull a Hannibal son who has more then impressed us with his first set of calves. His father is Homo Polled and Homo Black and 5N has been tested and results are pending.
