Welcome Friends & Cattleman!

12.14.18

Welcome to Females of Merit 2018. We have chosen to offer every cow from the age of 2-6 that is absolutely sound and right with her 2018 replacement quality heifer calf at side. In our mind this is an even better opportunity than a dispersal‌. All PRIME age cows with proof of production and rebred to our exclusive herdbull battery.

This sale has literally been over 30 years in the making. We bought our first Angus females in the fall of 1984. In the years that followed, we have consistently focused on building the best cow herd possible. Over the past few years we have only sold a select few breeding females from the top of our program. We have chosen to retain the vast majority of our top replacements and cull hard off the bottom end.

The extremely dry conditions for the last 3 of 4 years has further forced us to be critical of our cowherd for phenotype, structure and performance. The cows that comprise the Merit herd today are the result of disciplined breeding, critical analysis, and strict culling. We are more than confident in the production ability of our cow herd and feel strongly that there are females in this offering that can make a positive impact in any program.

Our decision to host this sale was not an easy one and was not finalized until June after the vast majority of the cowherd was bred. We did not mate these cows for maximum short term marketability. Our mating decisions we planned to enhance each individual cow, just as if they were calving here in 2019. Most of the cows selling are safe to those selected matings.

The heifer calves selling at the side of their dams were destined for our replacement pen. We’d ask that you judge the cows on offer by the calves the raised. That is why we are selling ONLY pairs. There are heifer calves to suit all programs, whether you are seeking sound brood cow prospects, a competitive show heifer or a future donor.

Please feel free to come and view our offering before the sale. We welcome your inquiries and will do our best to assist you in any way we can.

Ranch Tough TO MAKE SOLID,

Welcome To The Sale...

Welcome to the Females of Merit Sale and it is an honour to work with the Liebreich family closely throughout the year! This hard working outfit is truly a family run outfit that encompasses the whole family in every facet throughout the year. With that comes a terrific work ethic and level of expectation of how the work is done in each and every task, every step is a well thought out move. Likewise the same expectation levels come across to the cow herd to perform under range conditions and if you’ve been down that way over the last four years you will certainly understand the depths of the drought. Being a good grass manager Merit has been able to work there way through things through rotational grazing and managing grass to be productive and sustainable. What’s my point? The level of thought that gets put into every situation at Merit carries right through to the cow herd and herdsire selection on a continuous basis.

a lot of things right best sums things up. The females the have been selected over the years though few in number have made an impact in their new herds by simply being a good cow that does her thing year in and year out. Recent success in the show ring has further backed up their emphasis on the structure of the cattle that have the tools to compete. By no means is this herd a show herd as their motto states they are not raising show cattle just showing cattle they raise.

Our actions today will affect the outcome for years down the road so keeping a balance is a must. The demands of a cow are very simple for this family and start with a sound structure on a good foot and work your way up from there. Calving and mothering their calf properly and continuing on to raise a good calf that will offer an economic benefit to the industry. No need for extremes, just do as many things right as possible. A strong commercial following says a lot of the kinds of bulls these cows will raise that go out and work in some tough country like Saskatchewan has to offer from the short grass of the Big Muddy to the Great Sandhills, the bush country of central Saskatchewan and every environment in between. They do

Should you have any questions regarding the Merit herd feel free to contact ourselves at Castlerock Marketing we would be happy to discuss this set of cattle with you.

This sale brings great opportunities to attain some foundation type cows to start, build on or bolster your cow herd. The cows are right and sound and carry a breeding service to one of the many unique breeding pieces that makeup the Merit herdbull battery and start a new chapter in your history book. These type of sales don’t happen every day and nothing has been held back!

See you sale day!

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. 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.

His sons have met great acceptance being highlighted by Merit Sting who sold ½ interest in the Masterpiece at Agribition to Double F for $52,000. A daughter, Merit Flora 6087 is a popular many time champion, most recently being named Grand Champion Female at Edmonton Northlands and a top 5 finalist in the Alberta Supreme. All four Range Boss progeny won their respective divisions at Farmfair. Another daughter Merit Socialite 7163 was selected by Poplar Meadows as the $15,000 high selling pick of the herd donation to the Angus Foundation’s Building the Legacy sale. She won the National Reserve Champion female title at Ag-Ex. Merit also won the Get of Sire, Breeders Herd and Interbreed Supreme Breeders Herd with Range Boss progeny.

His first daughters calved this Spring and display impeccable udder strucRange Boss Daugther ture. Range Boss is poised to become the next generation foundation sire at Merit.

The only Range Boss semen we have released to the Angus industry commanded $525/dose. This is your opportunity to buy Range Boss progeny and service in volume.

Merit Sting 7047E - A Range Boss Son 2018 Reserve Canadian National Champion Bull

Merit Sting - Intermediate Yearling Champion at Northalnds Farm Fair, Edmonton, Sk

Sting’s dam, Merit Socialite 5121, began her show career as a division champion at Lloydminister Stockade Roundup and Agribition 2016. She went on to be All Breeds Champion at the CWA Junior Beef Extreme. ”Roxanne” as we called her was admired for her incredible volume, soundness, and femininity. She returned to the tanbark in 2017 with Sting at her side where she continued her winning ways as Grand Champion Open Division female at CJAA Showdown in Lloydminister, and was Supreme Champion at both Young Ranchmans and Junior Stockmans shows. On her third trip to the border city she was named Grand Champion and ultimately Supreme Champion over all breeds. The pair continued on to be selected in the top five at the Alberta Supreme and the top ten at the Agribition RBC Supreme Challenge.

Sting created quite a stir from his first outing. Sting’s mass, thickness, hair coat, and undeniable presence made him a crowd favourite. He topped the CWA Masterpiece commanding $52,000 for half interest to the Feige’s of Double F Cattle Co. Ten exclusive breeding interests were sold for a total of $50,000. No other semen will be available in Canada before the fall of 2019.

As a yearling, Sting has not disappointed, fulfilling his semen commitments and breeding naturally at Double F. Back on the show road this fall he has claimed Junior Champion and Reserve National Champion bull at Manitoba Ag-Ex. He was also named Junior Champion at Stockade Roundup and Intermediate Yearling Champion at Farm Fair. His tremendous hip, haircoat, ease of movement, and style continues to set him apart from his contemporaries.

This sale offers the rare opportunity to acquire the first service to Merit Sting.

Valor was slated as a feature for our 2016 sale. He had an infection that kept him out of the sale so we kept him to use for ourselves. He’s an impressive individual that boasted a weaning weight of 878 and yearling of 1504. He displays tremendous character in an extremely correct, sound package. We also felt it was an added maternal bonus that his dam is a daughter of 77X who has been siring females that have great udder type, are sound made and functional ranch females.

KR Apollo 6458 was a member of Krebs National Western Reserve Champion pen of bulls. He indexed 121 at weaning with a 205 day weight of 925lbs from a first calf heifer. He was the largest ribeye bull in their entire offering.

He became the $40,000 second high selling bull in their 2017 bull sale. After being a contending bidder, we secured the exclusive Canadian semen rights from Lee’s Cattle Co. His first progeny have proven his short gestation, calving ease, and performance potential.

We partnered with Beverly Hills Angus on Laramie as a mature herdsire after admiring the excellent job the bull consistently was doing on both sons and daughters at Eastondale Angus. Laramie progeny are sound in their structure, have eye appeal and good hair. His sons have garnered commercial acceptance for their calving ease, large scrotal and performance, and been sale toppers for the Easton’s. The Laramie daughters are well balanced, easy fleshing, sound in their design with quality udders.

He was Trent’s pick of Krebs’ pen and carload bulls, where we decided we needed to add him to the Merit program.

Joe is a masculine, strong featured bull that is long sided and powerful in his build with large scrotal. He exhibits masculinity and character with a good head and muzzle. His disposition is second to none, he’s the gentlest bull we’ve ever had.

KR Apollo 6458

Krebs love the maternal side of this pedigree … his dam is one of the most proven Cash daughters in their herd and his granddam is one of their best Hammer daughters. The Empress family has a long and storied history tracing back to the OSU program.

We eagerly anticipate his first calf crop.

While he had all the physical attributes we demand in our herdsires, it was the maternal strength and consistency of his dam that peaked our interest. We called another good friend, Sarah Buchanan, who had videoed the bulls and was broadcasting the sale, for her analysis.

Sarah endorsed him, but even more importantly knew the dam and had tried to purchase a full brother to 6079 two years prior. That sealed the deal for us and a partnership was formed.

Valor 5032D

Momentous has an incredible profile, muscle pattern, character and an impeccable foot. His hoof structure is ideal.

He’s backed by a strong and proven dam. “Mo” is a no holes kind of herd sire. We are currently flushing donor females to him.

At MERIT, breeding Angus cattle is our passion. We are continually analyzing our herd, ever critical, never settling. Starting from the ground up, striving for perfection, we are constantly searching for the best herd bulls to advance our program. We are both proud of our cow herd and extremely excited about the herd bull battery we’ve both raised and assembled.

Stop in anytime to view the next generation in our quest for perfection.
