Welcome
I’d like to start by saying thank you for showing interest in our bulls, whether you are a repeat buyer or someone who finds the red and black Charolais intriguing we welcome you to look at our catalogue, website or come down and tour the pen.
Once again, this year we have a good set of bulls to offer with quite possibly the largest offering of purebred registered black Charolais bulls in Canada. These boys are grown out slowly over 2 winters and so their weigh in numbers might not seem exciting, but we certainly performance evaluate them to see which bulls shine on a back rounder ration. We hope our bulls will have less feet and leg issues and not melt away after their first breeding season because of the way we develop them!
Our bulls will be selling on DLMS Farmgate online auction again this year. Mark, Joanne and their staff are very helpful and easy to work with, so if you haven’t already, take a browse and look at some bulls in the upcoming sales. If there’s any long in the tooth cowboy’s out there like myself who don’t know how or just have no desire to figure out that computer online bidding thing, just give us (actually Maria) or Mark a call and we could help you out or bid on your behalf in a confidential honorable fashion.
If I meet you down the road pulling a stock trailer, Don’t worry I’ll give you a big wave!

DM LARIAT 4L
BD: MARCH 21, 2023 Homo Polled
4L is as cool of a black bull that we have raised so far Super good looking, extremely long bodied and smooth built. Comes out of a very deep bodied beautiful uddered cow. I think 4L could improve weaning weights in any commercial heard or go into a black purebred program and be a curve bender

8L is a bull that has looked good from day one
A standout on feed, he has developed into one of the stoutest heaviest muscled bulls in the pen. I’d use him on a group of Angus cows and watch his calves shine
DM LEON 10L
BD: MARCH 31, 2023
Polled
Power, Power, Power!
There were many coffee time discussions on whether we would even offer 10L for sale The final decision to sell comes from knowing we used him on a select few females as a yearling and are confident that he will leave his mark on our herd
An absolute standout on feed, he blew away the rest of his pen mates by over half a pound daily gain That has been the largest margin I have seen in bulls on our program Huge top, heavy muscled, extreme length makes 10L a definite herd bull prospect
DM LAKOTA 12L Lot
BD: APRIL 4, 2023
Homo Polled
12L is a light birthweight high performance growth bull. Those 2 traits are generally polar opposite, but 12L broke the mold
If you want lighter calves at birth that more than catch up and pass other calves by fall, take a look at 12L RAMMER EDDIE 730E SIRE: SWR GREEN GIANT 32G WMM SWEET JEWEL 213Z

13L is one good looking rascal. I bought his sire SWR 32G to add muscling and more depth of flank, and 13L shows off those qualities to a tee. Easy feeding bull that won’t get heavy and coarse with age.
DM LUCIC 14L Lot
14L is the only black SWR 32G son on offer Stout made bull that ranked #2 in the pen for performance. Comes out of a no miss cow that every calf she has raised is always at the top

15L is a bull with lots of style and presence. Comes out of a terrific old Z cow that continues to work in the herd, and has raised a lot of good sale bulls in the past.
Good footed nice muscling and tons of calving ease, making 15L a top choice.
BD: APRIL 10, 2023 Polled
AMARILLA 15R
16L is a bull I think could go into a heifer pen. He ranks in the top 10% for calving ease and the top 5% for birthweight. Smooth made with lots of length and ideal small head might make him a sleeper of the sale.
DM LAREDO 18L
BD: APRIL 13, 2023
Homo Polled
18L is a chip off the ole block. He has his sire’s depth, masculinity, thickness, and power.
Ranked #1 at weaning and #2 at yearling lets you know he is certainly a performance bull. Feature bull with lots of promise.
DM LEMIEUX 20L Lot
BD: APRIL 10, 2023 Horned
20L is a low birthweight SWR 32G Son. I know a few ranches in western Canada where the cowherds run on multi section fields. On those big spreads the bull criteria changes a little to accommodate the amount of travel their herd sires will face 20L has great hoof and leg structure, he travels out like a cat and has longevity built in for the long haul.

21L looks like he’s trying to compete with all the big black power bulls he penned with… and doing a good job. Another bull with extreme length, big topline and well defined Muscle expression. 21L is a bull that should get noticed and would work great on some Angus cows.

DM JAGUAR 1J
The very first black purebred bull born on our farm. We used him as a yearling with the result being 5 black bulls in this sale. Looking back, probably should have retained him and used him for a couple more seasons but we were excited to start selling black Charolais so he was our feature bull in 2023.
Very consistent bull for throwing calving ease with lots of length in his calves.
SWR GREEN GIANT 32G
SWR 32G is a bull we purchased from Mutrie Farms. We liked him for his added depth and his easy fleshing ability. His sons on feed have exceeded our expectations on their performance. Comes out of a terrific cow.
Meet Our Family
After 21 years of marriage, we have many blessings to praise God for, our family and simple farm lifestyle being at the top of the list. Darryl has managed the Smoky Burn Community pasture for the past 15 years and as of 2019 the job became more of a family run operation with Maria becoming the full-time rider and the boys helping on the summer breaks We know that the boys will all one day follow their own dreams, but for now we cherish these times.
Otto is our eldest son who has a passion for hunting, trapping and the outdoors! His last three summers have been spent in the Yukon as an outfitting wrangler.
Wyatt just completed grade 12 and has a strong interest in horses as well as our purebred operation. He has a memory like his dad and can rattle off most information on almost any animal on the farm or at the pasture without looking at the record book.
Coleiscurrentlyin grade10,hasadesire toworkhardat succeedingin anythinghedoes. Enjoysthefarm, hunting,weldingand Football!!
Beau is in grade 4, and does everything he can to keep up to his brothers.
