WELCOME from D&N Livestock
We would like to welcome everyone to our annual bred female sale at 1:00 PM on December 10 on the farm just 3 miles south of Peebles SK.
This year we will have on offer 507 bred heifers. This is a loaded offering with what we believe to be the very best set we have ever raised and put together. A sire group consisting of 46 heifers all sired by the industry changing Deer Valley Growth Fund is one of the highlights that you won’t want to miss. 461 bred females sired by HF Alcatraz, D and N Rainfall, SAV Rainfall, SAV Magnitude, JL Prefer, JL Preseason along with the D&N herd bulls that should not be taken lightly in quality and performance.
In addition to this year’s offering there will be Sim/Angus bred’s as well as Hereford/Angus bred’s on offer. The Sim/Angus females come out of D&N cows that Jay Charison purchased a few years back off of our annual bred heifer sale. These females on offer go back to Wheatland bull 1108J and Maple Lake Swagger 0399. These females are special and will go onto put in a long career where ever they end up. The Hereford/Angus cross females go back to Square-D Tortuga 953T.
When selecting the service sire’s, we put a lot of emphasis on the dam and bull behind the sire. He needs to come from a proven cow family as well as from a bull that has proven progeny on the ground that are working. We strive to ensure there is no guess work when it comes to the mating’s of these females, and how they will perform no matter which environment they find themselves in. All of the females were serviced to Musgrave 316 Colossal 137, Millar Duke 816, D and N Rainfall and SAV Magnitude.
The main cow herd of 1500 cows graze year-round. We run a registered herd of roughly 200 head along with our commercial herd comprising of 1300 mother cows. They begin calving April 20th, at which time they graze stock piled grass and bale graze. Moving into the tame pasture around June 1, where they will rotationally graze until they come home for a 21-day AI period in July. Once the calves are weaned at the end of September, the cows will go out to stubble graze until the end of December weather permitting. They will then move into corn grazing until Calving in the spring.
We will buy back heifer calves out of the females that are purchased off of the sale, and will continue to buy them back in the years to come if Angus bulls are used. We also will buy back the bull calves out of the AI Sired females that are serviced to our AI sires. We will pay a $250 premium for the bull calves on top of market value. The groups that qualify for this program are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32.
All the Females are on a full herd health program. If you attend the sale, you will receive a $1000 discount on your first 10 head. $100 off per animal up to 10 animals. Lunch is served at noon, and we look forward to seeing you all sale day!

A crown jewel of the fall sale circuit is the first-class operation run by the Rajottes south of Peebles, SK. The care and consideration that goes a program of this magnitude is no small feat. Dave, Terri, Carlin, and the Rajotte family have truly outdone themselves once again, bringing forth an offering that caters to commercial and purebred breeders alike.
507 bred heifers are yours for the picking, each packed with proven, high performance genetics all across the board. These females are made good, calved off of D&N’s own cows, and sired by reputable and proven sires like S A V Rainfall, S A V Magnitude, JL Prefer, HF Alcatraz, and some of D&N’s own established herdbulls.
Take D and N Rainfall for example, who is living proof that the D&N program works. 23H, sired by the now deceased calving ease bull S A V Rainfall, demanded an impressive $27,000 at the 2022 D&N Bull Sale. He produces daughters that calve easily, with low birthweights and explosive weaning weights.
And take a close look at Deer Valley Growth Fund, who has both daughters and services on offer. Combined with the services they carry to bulls like Rainfall, Magnitude, Musgrave Colossal, and Millars Duke, his daughters will surely turn heads. Growth Fund himself is one of, if not the most popular Angus bull in America, leading the AAA’s registrations for all of 2023. This guy’s no-nonsense and no guesswork, with his progeny displaying his phenotype and genetic merit all across the board, backed by the fact that he’s used all across Canada and America, with consistent and unparalleled success.
The bulls used in this program are very carefully considered, with calving ease, structure, EPD spreads, maternal traits, and docility being just a handful of the nonnegotiable “must-haves” on the Rajottes’ sire list. Rest assured these heifers are of the highest quality, and carrying services that are held to the same standards.
We at T Bar have been working alongside the D&N crew for many years - and with that being said, we are very knowledgable and familiar with this fine program. Please do not hesitate to reach out to myself or any of the T Bar C crew with any questions or inquiries. Please consider this your invitation to join us live to appreciate these fine animals and hospitality, and the exceptional people behind it all.
See you at the sale, BEN WRIGHT

Alcatraz is a bull that has been dominating the scene across Canada and into the US, His cattle are structurally sound, docile, and stand on a perfect set of feet that are setting themselves up for success no matter how they are bred or what production setting they end up in. The Alcatraz progeny are unbeatable!
D and N Rainfall resides at Ray Weber’s of North Huron Angus. This is a bull you MUST see, he consistently sires the front-end calves year after year and stays in phenomenal shape doing so. Calving ease with that extra shot of performance is something you cannot miss out on with these females.
The Growth Fund females offer consistent quality regarding phenotype and genetic merit no matter how they are bred or what environment/production setting they find themselves in. The Calves sired by Growth Fund consistently outperform the cattle in their contemporary group. These are cowy females, that are stout, have depth, rib and embody what the North American Rancher is looking to emulate and build upon.
GROUP 22 | DEER VALLEY GROWTH FUND |
Maternal resilience, calf vigor and durability are what Magnitude exemplifies in his progeny. This bull died this past summer and that in turn makes these females a lot more special to us knowing what they will turn into down the road and what kind of impact they will have on your operation. Owned with Mike Schmidt ParkView Farms.
Consistency runs deep with these females. Prefer is a no guess work type of bull.
JL Preseason 5071 is a four seasons son that makes large frame cows that add power.
The industry changing impact Rainfall has had is not something to be taken lightly, his consistency in progeny across the females and bulls is like none other. He stamps them all the same. He adds length, soundness and unmistakable herd bull presence in his sons. His Daughters are stunning in an elegant maternal package. He brings together calving ease, maternal strength and performance together which are fundamental elements to build upon to achieve success at any level of the cattle business.

My family purchased our first group of D&N heifers in 2020. The quality and consistency of the heifers are second to none. These heifers turn into functional, hardworking cows that flatout work.
The crew at D&N have the passion and foresight to bring in leading genetics for their heifer sale. Their knowledge and enthusiasm is evident as well as their forward thinking.
The magnitude of this sale is staggering.
The customer service you receive from the crew at D&N is unmatched. The follow-up calls and farm visits truly add to the experience. The programs they offer are industry-leading. It’s always nice seeing the next generation take a prominent role.

We are excited to offer semen on the world-renowned Griswold herdsires! The following Angus and Simmental bulls are elite sires that have elevated programs across North America. Do Not miss out on th ese bulls! Griswoldcattle.com Griswold Cattle - Justin Vandeweustyn: 306-461-6031
VISION DR PHIL 2025
Cory Thomsen spotted Dr. Phil in Denver and rushed to tell John about a bull he had to see. We’re glad he did—Dr. Phil has a standout pedigree and an unforgettable presence that commands attention in both the show ring and pasture. He’s pure G- quality. His dam, SCC Phyllis 052, is a breed icon, known for producing elite show cattle that mature into beautiful, big-bodied, and highly productive cows.
County O has quickly proven himself as a powerful sire, making a significant impact in his first year and set for even wider use nationwide. Top breeders have told us their best calves are from County O, and it’s clear why—he’s moderate-framed, big-hipped, deep-ribbed, and carries a clean front end rarely seen in Simmentals. Simply put, he’s a purebred with the look and versatility of a half-blood.
Bet on Red has proven his versatility across SIRE country, producing sale toppers, show winners, and consistently strong cattle. With four shots of the 8543U line in his pedigree, he brings a rare potency seen in Angus but seldom in Simmental. Initially selected for his bold red baldy face and style, he quickly earned his place for producing reliable, quality cattle. When asked if he’s “big enough,” John’s reply is, “That bull is anything but small.” His progeny have strong maternal traits, power, and growth, making them standouts across any program.
Husker has quickly become one of the most sought-after Simmental bulls of the year, known for his impressive power, structure, and presence. Big-topped, big-footed, and full of muscle, he combines performance and production in one outstanding package. As the top seller in last year’s Grass to Grid, Husker has also earned titles like Grand Champion at the American Royal and Reserve at Fort Worth, proving his standout quality.

SAM’s influence on the Griswold program is undeniable, with his calves showing exceptional promise.

These clones, exhibiting remarkable presence, were described as promotional quality at the 605 bull stud.SAM has proven to be the most consistent sire, producing top-quality cattle—whether for purebred or commercial herds—free from culls and consistently solid.
