MAVV FARMS BULLS
WELCOME from BOHRSON MARKETING
Welcome to the 3rd annual MAVV Farms Bull and Select Female Sale. The Imler family are some of the real great people in the industry that we get to work with and year in and year out, Mike and his family bring a top quality set of Simmental Cattle fourth for your appraisal. The 2024 offering is truly exciting and definitely has something for everyone depending what you are after. We look forward to hosting you at the farm near Okotoks for this must attend sale.
This is the time of year the MAVV Farms program has always marketed their bulls. It provides a great opportunity to get your bull pen shopping done early before the spring rush of sales and calving and other winter/spring projects that arise. Mike has perfected this craft of selling bulls in December, responsibly developing them for the remainder of winter and spring until you need to turn them out. Something that has worked great for many of his customers. Mike has always invested heavily into the best walking sires he can get his hands on. Rubicon, Malone, Full Tilt, Big Energy and Shakedown are house hold names within the industry and you can see the positive impact they have left on this years bull pen.
The Select Female portion of this catalogue also has a tonne of diversity. Fullblood, red and black is all represented to give everyone an option. Bred or open calves you won’t go wrong in this section. Mike always digs in deep and every year always finds the next great donor or cornerstone female to build a cow family around. These females are sisters to the great set of bulls on offer and really provide an opportunity to see what you are getting with both sexes represented and on display for sale day.
We really do hope you can make plans to join us at MAVV Farms, Thursday December 19, 2024 for this great event. The Imler hospitality and cattle on offer are always top notch. Be sure to give Mike a call prior to the sale and visit with him about the stock. Or better yet, hop in your pick up and go for a tour of the cattle and the MAVV program, you won’t be disappointed. If your busy fall schedules keep you away from sale day, dont hesitate to contact any of us from BMS to utilize our free order buying and consultation services. We would be happy to help.

WELCOME from MAVV FARMS INC.
Welcome to MAVV Farms 3rd Annual Bull and Female Event. I will say it year after year, none of this would be possible without you, the buyers who continuously show up to support our program. It means so much to us getting to see so many familiar faces come sale day. This also wouldn’t be possible without the team of people here at the farm, between the grain side of our operation and the cattle side there’s really isn’t any down time around here and it is always a complete team effort to ensure everything gets done. The kids are getting more and more involved and helpful the older they get. Vanden did a little showing this year for the first time. He had some great success, and we definitely have a new appreciation for those who hit the show road full time. It’s Vienna’s first year in 4-H and she’s got a nice heifer and steer project picked out. No doubt that there is going to be some interesting family competition this year.
The cattle industry is maybe the hottest industry to be a part of these days, what a time to be involved. Calves, fat cattle, cull cows and bulls have been at all time high prices this year. I know for a fact that breeding bulls purchased 3-5 years ago are bringing more now than they were bought for at the time. Even through all of this, it still pays to have consistent, good quality cattle to fetch even a few more dollars. Big packages of similar type, color and size have continued to fetch premiums especially on the replacement heifer side of the market. Times like these make it rewarding to be in the cattle industry, and really are the reason we continue to put in the work year after year. We have made some big investments the past few years on both Herd Sires and Future Donor Females. This year’s offering is exciting for us to get to show off a preview of what we are building and the things to come.
I encourage you to come have a beverage and a visit on sale day. In a conversation I had recently, an old friend and mentor in this industry told me “as much as this is the cattle business, this is a people business. Without the people and connections we make, we have no business.” This couldn’t be more true. I always wish I had more time to get to catch up with all the incredible people this industry has brought across my path, sale season gives me a great opportunity to see those who I wished I got to run into more often. Here’s hoping we get to see you come sale day!
Regards,
Mike, Whitney, Vanden, Vienna

Lola is a very nice, smooth polled heifer sired by Virginia Full Tilt, the exciting new herd sire we purchased a few years ago. She is deep dark red with one large and one small goggle over her eyes. Her dam is a very moderate Anchor T Supreme great granddaughter who’s produced awesome females. I believe Lola will be a very solid cow to add to anyone’s herd.

Lotta is another deep, dark red heifer sired again by Virginia Full Tilt. I really like the “paint job” on Lotta with all the pigmentation she carries. She’s a very deep bodied heifer that carries herself extremely well. She has a very nice udder starting to develop. She looks to be a cow that may very well produce some very good ones. Her early service to Battle Cry makes her even more exciting!

Lucky is a bigger framed, deep bodied female that has developed very well. Her mother is a very young Battle Cry daughter, as I have said and will continue to say produces very top-notch females. Her deep dark red color will match very well with her service to Full Tilt.

Liberty has a unique pedigree twist to what we are used to around here. Fairview Philosophy is a bull that I have seen other breeders use with great success. He is a calving ease type, so I was excited to try and use him on a few heifers. I’m very excited about Liberty and what she may have to offer to her new owner. Her dam carries some old school fleckvieh genetics being sired by BEL Steward 2nd so you know she packs some power to her as well.

Luna is the only Elevation daughter that we have for sale this year. He has produced some of our high selling heifers each year. Luna has a very smooth polled head, then a tank of a body. She is very straight thru her top with a big hip on the back end. The mating to Keet’s Ferrous is very intriguing. The boys at KSL have been using him on heifers with great success and I believe Luna could produce a very good one here.

Legacy is without a doubt a heifer that will be a front pasture type female in the very near future. And I’m sure that when she is not hanging out in your front pasture on display, she will be in the donor pen. Her dam is a bigger framed cow that packs lots of performance. You will notice Battle Cry anchoring the pedigree again, a bull that has given us so much success over the years, not only with sale animals but the females left in the herd are some of the very best. The Full-Tilt females look to be developing amazing; we are very excited for the first wave of Full Tilt’s to be calving this winter. Check out Legacy’s mating to PLD Jesse James, an exciting calving ease specialist bull.

Lyric is the only Walk the Line daughter that we have to offer this year. We used Walk the Line aggressively through AI, but had a lot of bull calves and not many heifers. I don’t think there is a bull that was used more than Walk the Line the last couple of years. The consistency is remarkable. Lyric exhibits thickness throughout the body and is a very complete female front to back.

KWA Future is a bull that we have used lots of in our heifer program and have never had any issues. A perfect combination of calving ease, power and performance on her dams side with Brooks being the sire of the beautiful Jovie cow.

Lolly is sired by a red bull Silver Lake Jesse James, a bull we selected to try and add some power and performance into some of our red cows and he did just that. This heifer is an absolute barrel of a female with a huge middle to her. Her early service to WLB Top Tier is one of the most exciting to me, weather it’s a bull or heifer calf the chances of it being good are very high!

Lucy reminds me a lot of her mother, big bodied, deep and powerful. I think the longer you analyze this heifer, the harder it becomes to pick her apart. I really do believe this heifer will be one for the front pasture one day. The exciting service to Son of Anarchy could produce a very solid first calf and it may even carry that “money stripe” that is so often hard to come by.

I don’t really know where to start a footnote on Merlow. We committed to selling 6 of the best heifer calves born this year, and Merlow may be the very best. I don’t know if I have ever been more excited about the future of a heifer more than I am of this one. She will be the very first Double Bar D Malone daughter to sell, a bull that has a huge future ahead of him. Her dam was bought from the Round Up Group sale as a high seller a couple of years ago from the Burketa family and she is perfect! She carries a gorgeous udder and has tremendous body shape and mass throughout. Like I said I believe this heifer has a huge future ahead and I’ve never been more excited!

Misty might have one of the most intriguing pedigrees in the heifer pen this year. I selected the CCRS American Ice bull for the shear body mass he exhibited and his extremely deep dark bloodshot red color and pigmentation. Misty’s dam is a big framed, big bodied type of cow coming from the Miller herd of the Okotoks Fleckvieh Group. She has been a very solid producing cow in her 2 years here and if Misty turns out anything like her mother, look for her to produce some very good ones as well.

Margo is a very complete heifer, one that we felt would represent the Big Energy group of heifer calves very well. I admire how well balanced and even she is made. Big Energy was a big addition a couple years ago with his first calf crop hitting the ground here at our place this year. Her dam Farrah is an easy doing SVS Brooks daughter that quietly just goes about her business being a momma cow. We felt Margo was a good combo of the Big Energy X Brooks lineage that we are really hoping to create around here.

Macey is the product of something we have quietly been doing in the background. She is a true ½ blood sired directly by Brooks. The bull really doesn’t need anything else written about him, he’s done everything extremely well and always left us with marketable animals and animals that have worked exceptionally. Not only in our program, but programs that purchased genetics in some way. 7858E cow is a larger framed Angus cow that always has a good calf. Macey could very well be a standout in any herd looking to “change things up” a little bit. I guarantee that you won’t miss her on sale day!

Often, we talk about him in our bull pen, but his daughters have been awesome as well. The cross with Shakedown has been very consistent and continuously successful. Maggie will be a very solid producing cow and should be very predictable herself!

Mercedes is a beautiful made Shakedown daughter that I would love to stay home. I just realized in writing these footnotes that her full sister Lucy is also selling as a bred heifer. I’m now kicking myself for putting both in at one time, but its too late to turn back now. It won’t be hard on sale day to figure out how this female may develop, but I can guarantee you that it will be good!

- Merrick is probably the deepest bodied bull in the pen. Vanden likes to call him big chungus, meaning he is an absolute chunk of a bull.
- He is very smooth made for being so big bodied and he’s as long as your mother in-laws stay.
- His dam Havanna is a smaller framed, but very productive homo polled cow that I love to breed to horned bulls and see what she can do.

- Maverick is Vanden’s calf from his 4H project cow “Kitty.”
- He started with a very nice 85lb BW, but had an actual weaning weight of 800 lbs.
- He has been shown at 4H, where him and Kitty were district Grand Champions. Shown at the National JR show in Olds this summer where they won Reserve Champion for the 2-year old full blood class. And at the Millerville stock show where he and Kitty were again Grand Champions. He is fully halter broke and is quieter than your family dog.
- You won’t miss him on sale day, probably because he just wants you to pet him, but he is a deep dark red color that is very eye appealing. Diluter Free
