Breakout was the high selling bull in the 2012 SSS bull sale. We purchased him on the strength on his sire and on the maternal strength on his dam, she was one of the most impressive cows in the SSS cow herd. Breakout excels in siring females that are the kind the industry needs. They are correct, big volume, easy doing and great uddered. This past fall a daughter was a feature heifer in the power and perfection sale at Agribition, and sold for $15,000 to South View Ranch. Not only can Breakout sire females like these but also bull calves that are stout, big hipped, great footed and in demand. His sons have been our top and high selling sire group for the past three years. In out 2016 bull sale nine sons sold to average just over $10,500, with a high of $39,000 for Red Cockburn Heavy Duty 518C.

Ribeye 308U is a bull we are very proud to have bred and raised, he was out high selling bull in our 2009 sale to Soo line Cattle co. for $30, 000. As a two-year-old he was the feature lot in their dispersal sale and sold for $70,000. His sons were our high selling sire group for many years. Ribeye consistently sires cattle that are easy doing and have superb depth of body, muscle shape and hair. His daughters are easy fleshing great uddered females and are proving their worth by weaning some of our top calves every year.

Cowboy Kind is another new sire in our line up. He was a $70,000 high seller at Peipers 2014 sale, and although we weren’t able to get him bought that day, we were able to get one of only two semen packages released in Canada. Cowboy Kind is a super stout bull with a ton of shape, just as his name implies he is “The Cowboy Kind”. His sons follow the same pattern and his daughters also look like they will be great females.

Specialist is a new herd sire we are very excited about. He was added to our herd bull line up for his outcross genetics and his combination of calving ease and growth. He constantly sires calves that are super low birth weight, yet don’t give up on performance. Specialist has been the most reliable calving ease sire we have ever used, he will be a big part of our program going forward.

MERIT CATTLE CO.

Welcome

Once again we will begin by saying a huge THANK YOU to our customers, for a very rewarding 2016. We were humbled by one of the best Angus bull sales of the spring season. It was an extremely gratifying to experience the interest and support of our fellow cattle breeders from both the seed stock and commercial sectors. We are grateful for you all! We have always believed the commercial industry steers the purebred market place, not the other way around. Our program has always focused on the basic traits that are important to real cattlemen.

Calving ease, good growth, high vigor, exceptional foot structure, great hair, good temperament, backed by sound and functional momma cows. 30 plus years of genetic predictability takes the guess work out of your purchase. Like our customers, we are the ones who provide the manual labour, so our tolerance for management cattle is extremely low. It starts with cows that are designed with the capacity and hair coat to be efficient forage converters with feet and udders that will last into their teens without intervention, and sound maternal minds so they stay in the herd long enough to be profitable. Merit bulls are managed for optimum growth and soundness. They are highly exercised and athletic as the field they are housed in from weaning to bull sale time is set up for maximum exercise with hay, pellets, water and bedding locations forcing the bulls to travel. The bulls are walking a minimum of 1.6 miles a day! We feel this years group of bulls is our strongest and deepest to date. There are bulls to fit everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and budget. There are calving ease bulls designed for your heifers and growth and power bulls designed for your cows, all backed by quality Merit maternal genetics so the heifers that you retain will be sound, productive and profitable. NEW for 2017 the sale will be broadcast on DV Auction. Please feel free to call, email or text. Our sales staff is highly competent and trust worthy so feel free to ask them about the offering as well. Trent, Janelle, Macy, Garrett and Carson

77 is a soft made, deep bodied performance bull with a great foot. He displays true herdbull character and moves like a stud. His Socialite dam was a great producer for us. He’s in the top of the breed for growth traits, milk and scrotal. 77x sons exhibit performance and loads of hair which is essential in siring top selling steer calves in the fall. As consistently good as his sons are, his greatest strength lies in his daughters. They are beautiful females with well balanced tidy udders with small teats, built for longevity! His daughters are angular moderate and soft sided. Some of the top bulls in the sale offering are out of 77X daughters. We are excited for the impact the 77’s will be making in our program for years to come.

Range Boss was found in Kansas by our friend Riley Lafrentz, who thought we would be interested in this unique breeding piece. His structure is impeccable and he consistently passes that on to his progeny. Range Boss checks a lot of boxes. He’s got a great look and presence about him. He’s long bodied, deep sided and easy fleshing, with great hair, good scrotal and feet and a disposition that is second to none. Even Emile, Janelle’s dad and lifetime Charolais guy, liked Range Boss. The Pride cow family at Bar S is a cornerstone in their operation. He’s really stamped his progeny and we like his sons and daughters equally.

Merit Big Dawg made a splash as the high selling bull in our 2014 sale at $30,500 for 2/3 interest selling to Double F and Locke Farms. He made a lot of friends that fall, being named Reserve Junior Champion at Agribition. His muscle, hind leg, powerful forerib, and style set him apart from the competition. Big Dawg consistently transmits that big top and hip to his progeny. They display his unquestionable class and character as well. His first daughters are in production this spring and they are making good mommas. Their udders are square and balanced with small well placed teats.

Klondike was retained in our herd as a walking bull option. His progeny are born vigorous with extra length and loads of hair. He ranks in the top percentiles for performance in the breed, as well as top 1% for scrotal. His sons exhibit a powerful hip structure, not made by feed but in their natural design, unlike so many Angus bulls that profile so well and are disappointingly flat and narrow from a rear view. Klondike sired the Junior Bull Calf Champion at Agribiton last fall, Merit Dawson City 6138. Klondike gave us another opportunity to use a son from the Socialite cow family. His dam by Forte is wedgey, with loads of capacity and a beautiful udder. His daughters are feminine, fertile and MERIT SOCIALITE 9519 - DAM OF KLONDIKE functional.

Rage was the high selling herdbull prospect in our 2015 sale selling to Howard Rambur and Bar JV Angus in Montana for $37,000. His exceptional depth and performance with an outcross pedigree made him one of the most intriguing individuals offered that spring. His dam, 48X, is a model female. Garrett showed her to many Championships, including the Open Championship at the National Junior Angus Show and Supreme Champion at the Young Ranchman’s Show. His sons will be easy to find sale day, and his daughters are at the top of the replacement pen.

Stoney Creek was another herdsire highlight in the 2014 sale, selling for $22,000 to Bear Creek Angus. Stoney does so many things right. We just love his progeny, as do Weiss’s. This comes as no surprise, as all the females on the dam’s side of his pedigree are model cows. His sons display exceptional muscle and volume. We’d love to use him more extensively, but are somewhat limited with both GDAR Insight and Dutch up close in his pedigree.

Trent found Upfront in the winter of 2015 at the South Montana bull test. He displayed a unique combination of structural correctness and eye appeal, with a perfect foot and large scrotal. He became the top WDA bull and was among the top gainers. He and his half brothers were easily the standout group out of over 100 bulls on test. His dam is all old line Montana breeding, with Emulation, Traveler, and Rainmaker in her pedigree. Upfront’s sons are long sided, masculine and rugged, while his daughters 22 are extremely feminine and wedgey. We are eagerly anticipating his daughters in production.

udders, disposition and do-ability. Our cows graze stockpiled grass as late as possible in the year, and when we are lucky and Mother Nature allows, even past Christmas. They are then fed hay bales with lick tubs on a half section until February. They are not supplemented with grain, fed silage or out swath grazing annual cereals. They are not perfect, but we are trying to produce the best Merit Mommas possible for our environment and market. The Angus cow is still the best mother cow in the world, as long as we remember what got her there in the first place.

Stoney Creek 4023 was a high selling bull in our 2015 sale to Bear Creek Angus at Maple Creek. Stoney himself was a soft made, super sound and attractive made bull with the cow power to back up his herdsire potential. The dam of 6067 needs no introduction as she has literally been Carson’s cash cow producing bull sale high sellers that have gone on to work in purebred herds. She’s the dam of 8808, Maverick and Lucky Sevens. At 11 years of age her udder and feet are perfect and she’s maintained her calving interval. Stoney Creek 6067 is an absolute stud, and has a distinctive herdbull presence about him.

He’s SOLID! This absolute brute has been a favorite of all that have seen him. If you’re seeking a bull to add power and mass in a controlled frame, with an outcross pedigree, the search can end here. His dam produced a crowd favorite and a high seller last year to 20/20 and Currie. His Annie K dam is moderate and feminine.

Mentor is a full brother to Merit Socialite 5024 - “Daisy”, who was the most decorated show heifer in Saskatchewan in the spring of 2016. She was Grand or Reserve at 7 different shows and was never beaten in an Angus class. Mentor displays that same style yet is very masculine. His dam is a maternal sister to 77X.

6113D

As a result of bylaw changes within the Canadian Angus Association, Merit will be retaining a “NON revenue” sharing interest in every bull we sell. This allows Merit to collect semen on any Merit bull in the offering for in herd use only. This will be done at Merit’s expense and the new owner’s convenience. This is the same as in past sales but the change now means that ‘Merit’ will remain on the registration paper as an owner in order to satisfy association rules. This will apply to all bulls unless other terms are announced sale day.

Gold Rush will be one of the most unique herdsire prospects to sell this spring. We believe cattle need to be bred “from the ground up”, and Gold Rush exemplifies that, starting with a big solid hoof, continuing into a stout leg all the way up to an explosive hip. He’s long spined with a terrific hair coat and a strong, masculine head. His third dam, Bosta Blackbird 19Z, was a picture perfect cow and our pick of the entire Glennie herd.
