Welcome
Wow another year has gone by and we are super excited to welcome you to our fourth annual Matt’s Red Angus Online Bull sale. We would like to start by saying a special thanks to our buyers from the last three years, we hope that they continue to be pleased with their past purchases.
2025 was another below average year as far as moisture and crops we do have enough feed to get through this winter season but there won't be any extra carry over. The pastures were OK and we had decent gains on our calves. The winter has been very gentle and not a lot of cold weather so far. We did have some snow but it's already left in the first part of January so we are a bit concerned already for our crops in 2026.
We are very excited to present this years crop of bulls. In our mind this group is one of the best uniform groups that we've had, they have gained well and are showing consistent confirmation. The high market has not interfered with our decisions and the best ones have been chosen for our sale pen this year. We have not offered these bulls for sale to anyone so you are not getting the leftovers. We want our customers to get the top choice from our pen of bulls, we are also excited to offer some of our new genetics in this group of sale bulls.
Two years ago we had an unfortunate mishap with our breeding program because of hot weather and drought. We had a number of our females came in open in the fall two years ago because of that we were able to buy 10 young females from Six Mile Ranch in Saskatchewan, we are now very excited to offer these new genetics from our program. Three of the bulls in our sale are out of these females it was a great pleasure watching these new genetics perform in the last couple years.
In August 2025 the Buckley Valley Exhibition introduced a new set of classes to their beef show, they offered a non-halter pen show. These classes were judged as a pair so there is two animals in a pen. We showcased a portion of our program we had two pens of yearling bulls, two pens of yearling heifers, and two pens of cow-calf pairs. There was two other consignors there as well but in the future we would love to see more competition. One of our pens of bulls we had presented there won grand champion bulls and then went on taking the best of show as well. Again we are quite proud of this group of bulls!
We are in very exciting times right now with high record prices never seen before. We want to ensure you that our criteria has not changed on selecting our bulls and females. We still strive to keep a strong program going to maintain a strong cowherd and bulls that work with high expectations. These standards have worked for us and will work for you. Our cowherd is not pampered or treated special and they are not given a second chance if there is a problem. We feel strongly in these principles: cows must pay their way, they must have good feet and legs and solid udders. They must bring a calf in every year, and perform well doing so, they also must be a pleasure to work with. We expect the same from our bulls. We feel if they do not have these qualifications they are not going to work for us and if it doesn't work for us it doesn't work for you.
Just as we did lasts couple of years we will have BC Livestock representatives come out and look at our bulls before the sale so there is a third-party opinion. Please feel free to take advantage of this offering. Our bulls are easily assessable for viewing so you are more than welcome to come see them at any time, the coffee pot is always on! Thank you for everyone's support over the years, and we look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Matt & Karen Taylor

Being raised on the family's commercial cattle operation in Smithers and being deeply involved with 4H from a young age a strong passion for raising cattle was permanently instilled. I purchased my first purebred cow from my brother, who had started a small purebred herd in 4H. A few years later in 1995 I was able to buy him out completely and Matt’s Red Angus was officially created.
In the fall of 1999 I was able to buyout another heard, Tyee Red Angus from Smithers, BC. The following spring I consigned bulls for the first time to the Vanderhoof All Breeds Bull Sale (and then consigned continuously for many years.) In 2003 in the middle of BSE I made a crazy move and bought another purebred herd from AW Angus in Prince George, BC. The following spring with BSE still looming over the industry, I went to the Vanderhoof bull sale and sadly returned home with the same ones I went with. I quickly realized it was time to seek a broader market if I was going to survive in the record low times. So in 2005 I attended my first Williams Lake bull sale, it was a great fit, and from then on we used these two sales as our main market as well as selling privately off the farm.
In 2015 I expanded and bought another Farm a mile up the road from the family’s original operation greatly expanding our land base. That same year I met my wonderful wife Karen and we were married the following spring. Today we are running around 90 purebred cows and a small commercial cattle herd, we have also diversified into a successful pork and poultry operation.
