We make our living in Agriculture and are very proud of it!
To all of our customers I would like to say congratulations! You are finally being rewarded for your perseverance to stick in the livestock industry. Prices for cull cows and bulls are at an all time high and the calf market is staying extremely strong. All expectations are for it to remain that way for the foreseeable future.
Mar Mac Farms is a 5th generation family farm, where everyone is involved in the day to day operations. Our grandson Corbin and our granddaughter Brylee are the 6th generation and they love spending time outside at the farm. We are very proud to be members of the Canadian Angus Association for 70 years and The Canadian Simmental Association for 49 years.
We love the challenge of the purebred industry but the best part is visiting with all of our customers and colleagues past and present. You truly make it all worthwhile for us and we thank you for your confidence and support of our program for nearly 7 decades.
The bulls on offer this year may be one of our most consistent groups yet. They are all fresh and athletic yet are showing lots of muscle expression, hair, and testicle. As always they have been selected for structural soundness, ease of fleshing and temperament. We would use any of these bulls in our own program as our philosophy is if we would
not use a bull how can we be comfortable selling him to you. We welcome our guest consignors to the sale. They share the same commitment to producing beef bulls as we do. Springhill Farms from New Brunswick have a nice set of red bulls for your appraisal. Bruce McRae has the Black Angus bulls here and this might be his best set yet. Lastly MC3 Farms, Tyson and Eric McRae have some Simmental bulls in the sale. Tyson works here full time and we really do appreciate the dedication and all of the work he does here.
Hosting a sale at the farm takes a lot of time and we have to thank our friends and neighbors who help us out whenever needed. We really have to thank you for all of your help.
We look forward to visiting with you to discuss your herd bull needs. We know that there is a lot of options out there for your bull needs but want to let you know that we are honored and really appreciate that you consider the bulls on the following pages as an option for your herd bull needs.

From the desk at T Bar C
Seven decades breeding Angus, five decades in the Simmental breed, this fifth generation Family Farm has supplied the livestock industry with quality herd bulls that continually have added to the development of the livestock industry. These past seventy years have seen all levels and angles to the beef cattle market but to maintain these goals and survive in this wild market we are experiencing today requires much dedication from all members big and small.
On March 5, 2025, Mar Mac Farms and guests present their 2025 offering of Angus and Simmentals at their 21st sale at the Farm, Brandon, Manitoba.
As you walk through the pens you will be impressed by the powerful lineup of Angus and Simmental. Very similar in type and kind yet genetically diverse. The credit must be applied to the strong and predictable cow herd… a cow herd built to supply farmers and ranchers the type of animal that will calve easy yet have performance at weaning. You will love the muscle shape, volume and hair. Whether you are looking for Reds, Blacks, Simmentals or Blazes, the exciting lineup gives you a variety of choices in both power bulls and bulls designed for calving ease.
Although their goal is to supply the cow-calf man with bulls for the pasture, the folks at Mar Mac have a competitive nature… they garnered both Premier Breeder and Exhibitor awards at Ag-Ex and Grand Champion Bull who incidentally was the sale topper in 2024. As you survey the offering, you’ll find breeder opportunities… the Mar Mac track record has been proven and predictable as they successfully continue to work with all types of breeding operations.
Plan to be at Mar Mac on March 5th and select your new sires from this powerful set of bulls. Drop by the Farm anytime prior to the sale and preview the bulls and see the mothers… or give them a call to discuss the bulls that will work in your breeding intentions… they like to talk cattle.
If we, at T Bar C may be of any assistance prior to or sale day, do not hesitate to call any of our team and we will be pleased to assist in a professional and confidential manner.

BIRTH WEIGHT AND CALVING EASE
University studies in Wyoming and data from Montana and Colorado lend credence to the following conclusions.
1. The birth weight itself influences calving ease by 65%.
2. The female has 60-70% influence on birth weight of her calf.
3. The bull has 30-40% influence on birth weight of his progeny.
4. Pelvic measurement and angle as well as the shape of the calf has 35-40% influence on calving ease.
5. Length of gestation greatly affects birth weight. A fetus can gain over one pound per day in the last days of gestation.
6. Weather and temperature the last 30 days affect the length of gestation.
7. Size and maturity of the cow influences calving ease.
Remember, everything is relative. Increased growth, frame and performance will increase BW. A longer-bodied calf will weigh more. If a calf is expected to have the genetics to growth, it will display this prior to birth as well as after. As a rule of thumb , it takes a calf weighing 85 lbs. at birth to finish at 1200-1250 lb. A cow should easily give birth to a calf weighing 8% of her own body weight. Thus a 1200 lb cow should give birth to a 96 lb calf with ease.
Continued selection for light birth weights will ultimately reduce the mature sizes and performance of your cattle.

about the bulls
This crop of bull calves has been one to admire for the uniformity and depth of quality in all 3 divisions. As we toured through the pastures admiring what the mother cows had produced you get a sense of pride of the cow herd you have worked hard to establish. As you will see in the footnotes many strong cow families have been established in our herd and work well every year. Our cowherd grazed most of the winter on bale grazing and bales till calving season. Once they are brought home to calve they are fed a silage, hay, and straw mixture. When we select a herd sire, the bull’s mother or grandmother is an important part of our selection. Stop by anytime to view the dams of the Red Angus and Simmental bulls, we are very proud of the cowherd we have assembled. We have spent long hours researching our herd bull battery and are very proud of bulls we have added to our program.
This year in the Red Angus, and Simmental, you will find power bulls for your cows, and heifer bulls for those ease of calving individuals. 98% of our calves are born unassisted we feel mainly due to our cowherd being fed out in paddocks with lots of exercise, blended rations, and bull selection.
Remember we get paid by the pound for our calves and length of body adds pounds. Mar Mac has tried hard to keep that length and natural thickness in all of their divisions.
Our calves are not creep fed in the summer, so we can evaluate the full potential of the cowherd. Two weeks before weaning, a feeder with an oat pellet ration is put in the field to get the bulls used to eating away from their mothers. Then one week before weaning, the low stress quiet weans are put in. Calves are returned to the pasture with their mothers for 5 days. At the time of the nose wean insertion, fall booster vaccines are administered. Deworming and parasite control are administered in mid October. Weaning day, the bulls are weighed, brought home and started on a TMR ration of corn silage, hay, grain and supplement that has been balanced and formulated for longevity and fertility. In early January the bulls were vaccinated with Express 5.
All calves birth weights are taken within 24 hours of birth, where we vaccinate and tag each calf. These sale bulls have been through a strict culling process with structural soundness, ease of fleshing, and disposition taken into consideration. Any of the bulls in the sale, we would use in our program.
WE WOULD LIKE TO RETAIN THE RIGHT TO COLLECT 200 STRAWS OF SEMEN FOR IN HERD USE, AT BUYERS CONVENIENCE AND SELLERS EXPENSE, ON ANY OF THE BULLS IN THE SALE.
Customer Service is very important; we talk to our buyers at least once during the year to see how the bulls are doing. If you have a problem with your bull, we expect you to call and talk to us.
CALVING EASE SCORE...
We evaluate each bull for calving ease determined by bone size, birth weight, birth weight EPD and profile. Scoring is as follows: Recommended for use on moderate framed first calf heifers Recommended for use on well developed first calf heifers under supervision & cows. Recommended for use on cows.
This system is just a suggestion, many other factors affect calving ease.
We understand they are cattle producers but also understand they are grain producers as well. We encourage producers to grow as many on farm ingredients as they can and we will help fill the nutritional gaps that the forages and grains leave. McRae’s do an outstanding job growing quality silages, hay, greenfeeds and grains that help provide protein, energy and some minerals and with their Custom Bull Developer Supplement I provide the nutritional shortages to balance their programs requirements. Over the past number of years we have been able to lower the energy requirement of the diets and increase the forage percentages because of the way the bulls are converting. Conversion is the most economical trait we have and The genetics in the Mar Mac bull program is showing us this.
Our goal is to raise well grown out bulls that will go out and cover females without breaking down and melting away. We want the bulls to mature and grow in a sound development program and we are very conscious about not getting them over conditioned and to cool down the bulls post sale to get them used to their new surroundings and environment.
The sound nutrition I design will help enhance growth, conversion, and overall performance. Strong emphasis is on structure soundness, feet and legs, hair and reproductive development with increased scrotal development and semen quality. A sound nutritional program keeps all of this in mind.
I balance Mar Mac’s feeding programs with Cargill’s BEEF MAX Ration Balancing Program. This program balances to different types of proteins, amino acids, fibers, chelated minerals and selenium, vitamins and the natural Diamond V-NaturSafe product to enhance stronger immunity and absorption of nutrients.
Once again the key to a successful relationship is communication. This communication with Mar Mac Farms helps with a part of the success of their Bull Development Program for their customers.
Give Mar Mac or any other of the consignors a call anytime... Call us a few days in advance of the sale with your bull needs and we will compile a list of bulls that we feel will work for you. As we are with the bulls everyday, we know the qualities in each bull. If we buy a bull for you sight unseen and you do not like him, you don’t own him - no problem! Don’t forget to check out the videos!
At the Mar Mac and Guests Bull Sale our 60 plus years of experience as a family run operation means CUSTOMER SERVICE is an important part of our business. We stand behind our bulls 100%, sight unseen purchase satisfaction, wintering program, personal contact after the sale of the bull and the coffee is always on for you to come and view our program.

We selected New Decade for his calving ease, excellent feet and good udders. These bulls were all ET calves so birth weight may vary but boy what a set they are!
Thick topped, stout butted, excellent dark feet and body length. The calving ease and yet have a marketable final product. You choose which one would work best in your program. Another brother sells at lot 9.

Hello from Springhill Farm!
We are very excited to be back for our third year as guest consignors at the Mar Mac & Guest Bull Sale. The McRae team did an excellent job developing our well received bulls in 2024 and we thank them for their professionalism and friendship. We deeply appreciate the bidders and buyers who took the time to consider our bulls and put them to work in their herds. Your success is our success and we are humbled by your support.
For 3 generations now the McMurtrie family has been farming at Springhill in picturesque Fredericton NB. We are committed to developing trait balanced genetics that will instill confidence and reliability. Our cows are efficient, easy calving, maternally minded females that need to demonstrate overall soundness and quality foot structure in order to thrive in their environment - just ask anyone who has tackled the 'Hill' to see the herd! We feel the bulls in this lineup will complement your cowherds and positively enhance your programs.
Out of a lovely good uttered Renown daughter, 17M has some pedigree behind him with the Bar E-L program showing up on the top and bottom. Structural soundness, foot quality, muscle and overall dimension in a moderate framed package with this bull.

Payday is true to his name - this guy is going to get it done. Good natured and the crowd favorite as a calf, he definitely commands your attention. Lots of performance here with a good foot and lots of bone and more than enough scrotal. You can't go wrong with a Marta calf! Maternal brother is working in MB and two paternal sisters just calved out their first here in our herd. Take advantage of the return Payday is sure to offer.
stock! Backed by the Bieber and T-K herds. The 8M Stockmarket son will provide an opportunity to make multi-trait
DAM
Dam is the only red full sister to Red Mar Mac Lincoln! Lincoln is doing a fabulous job at Six Mile and M.C.Quantock. This moderate, well balanced, dark red calving ease bull won't sacrifice performance. Take a look at his outstanding growth curve! Mamma did a great job on her first calf. Add some balance to your herd with Justified.

Wilf Davis - June 21, 2024
We were sad to hear of the passing of our long time friend, and mentor: Wilf Davis. Wilf was very involved in the early Simmental days with the Gordon Family and as the years went on Wilf’s friendship grew with the Mar Mac Family. Wilf was not only a true mentor, we respected his opinion. With his lifetime experiences and advice were always accepted. Every year, Wilf would take the time and come out and view the Bull Pen no matter what breed and it was always a special day for Blair and I. We will sadly miss Wilf in the tours and seeing him in the front seats of the Bull Sale but know he will be looking down and evaluating what we have on offer. Rest in Peace Wilf your friends, Blair and Lois McRae and Family.
