MOOSE CREEK
It is a pleasure to introduce you to our family and our program as we celebrate 30 years of spring bull sales. Throughout our history, we’ve always put the cows first. In selecting replacement heifers or purchasing a new herd sire, our eye followed the cows in the decision before anything else was looked at. We have assembled a set of brood cows that require less feed, management, care and attention than ever before. Since that original sale back in April of 1994, our herd has expanded by almost 1200% with the staff and labour increasing only 50%. Not to mention: 30 years older and a few less patience…
We’ve always stayed true to our roots of supplying a large selection of quality, affordable genetics for our loyal customer base. The bulls are fed a bit differently than the early years, but always with the same responsible, modest development in mind. As you look through the large stacks of sale catalogues you receive, its noticeable our bulls are leaner and harder than the average. Every year, the feedback about how the bulls summer well, gain back and grow up post breeding cements our belief in developing them the way we do.
It will be a hard sale to conduct this year without the wise, humourous and well respected Brent Carey leading the charge. Brent is a friend and a confidant, a pioneer and our northern star at times. His council has been sought and accepted many times. We wish him well and look forward to seeing him and his herd of grandchildren soon. Please join us for a light snack before the sale, cold drinks, warm fellowship and a great steak afterwards. It’s our opportunity to say thanks for 30 great spring sales and to toast to 30 more!
Sincerely,
Darren Ippolito30TH ANNUAL

We really think this stout rascal has a bright future. Out of the same cow as Farley, we purchased an interest back from Jensen’s just to add more great footed and beautiful uddered cows in the group. He’s got a great look and lots of presence.
Near carbon copy to his sire but with one more generation of flawless cows included. Heavy weaning weight and added length.
LUO 81 L | 2306192 | MARCH 16, 2023
A younger bull but he offers plenty of shape and performance for his age. Dam is a real looker. She’s the driver behind this attractive calf.

Here’s another bull that might fly under the radar. Just like his mother; and her sister. After W Sunrise’s sale Wednesday, this Brndina cow family will be infamous. Rumour has it Tanner turned down $100K for her and her bull calf… After he sells, poor Tanner will be paying Capital Gains on his purchase.

Lighter duty heifer bull. His calves won’t be your heaviest at weaning but at $5/lb for the light weights, does it really matter? Yes, pounds sell; but dead ones don’t. Lessons learned in the Charolais business.
Attractive, big bodied bull. Bought his mother as the pick of the T-K dispersal. Flawless foot and udder on her in a dark red package. After seeing her pedigree, it’s no wonder why she was a standout that day.
