RECIPE FOR A MERRY CHRISTMAS. To a cup of tradition, time-honored and dear, Add a generous portion of holiday cheer, Combine with the memories of Christmases past, Then sprinkle the mixture with joy unsurpassed. Add a dash of good spirits, stir fondly until... You set it to rise in the warmth of good will. Pour love over all in generous measure, And garnish with laughter and heartwarming pleasure. ~~By Barbara Burrow~~
Thank you to our bull and female buyers.
We wish everyone a Happy New Year blessed with good health and much happiness.

2013 MB Commercial Breeder of the Year
HANNA, ALBERTA
Using Limousin bulls on our black cows gave us calving ease and a cross breeding advantage. Our ranch was able to sell market topping 1000 pound grass yearlings in late July.

GULL LAKE, SK
We use quiet Limousin bulls for the big beefy calves with great hair and hip. They have been our terminal cross for over 20 years and the calves are vigourous at birth, do well in the feedlot, and have great carcass yield.
SILVER RIDGE, MB
Year after year, we buy Limousin bulls because they give us great calves that we get a premium for. Raising superior calves is why we farm.

Th e co n ce rn i s t h at s om eti m es i nfor m ati on is put out t hat is incorrect or is purposely m is le ad i n g an d t h i s i s a conc er n i n a g r i c ul t ure as more and more consumers are intereste d i n k n ow in g w here thei r food com es from. There are several examples I can pul l f ro m b u t I w il l fo c u s on one to hi g hl i g ht t he issue and prov ide some fact s and perhaps e n co u rage yo u to hel p m e tel l the stor y of agricult ure. In late November a poster cam e a c ro s s my d e s k a dver ti si ng a n a dul t cook ing class in rural Manitoba promot ing ‘M eatl es s Mo n d ays : Good for us, good for t he planet .’ Given t hat Meat less Monday eve nt s l i ke t h is a re taki ng pl a c e i n r ura l Manitoba t he public might assume it is a gras s ro o t s ca mp a i g n a i m ed at prom oti ng the env ironment and protect ing your healt h.

That is a campaign I could get behi nd, suppo r t in g b rave m e n a n d wom en f i g hti ng for t he greater good.

Th e m o st re c ent ‘M eatl ess M onday ’ campaign was rev ived by t wo wealt hy wome n in New Yo r k w h o suppor t a ni m a l r i g ht s and ant i-meat programs. I am offended t h at t h ey h ave take n s o m ethi ng so patr i oti c and are instead using t he concept as t he ba s is o f mi s info r m at i o n to a c hi eve thei r own personal goals. This is not a grassroot s movem ent b u t a d e li b erate push to end a ni m a l agricult ure and push an ant i-farming agend a.

There was a herd of cattle all standing on a hill when an ear thquake struck. All of the cows fell down, but the bull remained standing. The farmer noticing this went out and asked the bull, “Why didn’t you fall down like the rest of the herd. The bull replied, “We bulls wobble, but we don’t fall down.”
