mar mac farms & guests bull sale

Welcome Welcome to our 11th bull sale on the farm. Mar Mac Farms is a fourth generation family farm and our whole family is involved in the feeding, breeding, and marketing of our cattle. We take pride in producing top genetics. We also understand the importance of customer service and honest relations with our valued customers and friends in the livestock industry. Congratulations to all who are reading this welcome. You have weathered some tough years and are finally being rewarded for sticking with the cattle business. Last fall we saw record prices for calves and the next 5 years look good as well It is indeed a good time to be in the cattle industry. Now is the time to sell your old herd bull for top dollar and invest in some new genetics that will put you at the top of the price spread when you sell your calves. We are very proud of the bulls on offer today. The bulls have been stringently selected and we are offering only our best. The Red Angus have been selected for calving ease or power whatever suits your program. The Black Angus bulls may be our most consistent group yet; they are powerful individuals with outcross genetics. Our Simmental bulls are led by our Tombstone sire group, what a job he has done for us, these bulls are the kind you would love to have a pen of steers out of. Cow families are very important in our program as you look through the sale book you will see they are continually excelling in production. The bulls this year have been fed a silage ration to enhance longevity and soundness. They are athletic, loose hided and have lots of hair. You may find fatter bulls at other sales but these boys are fed to last. These bulls’ mothers are not pampered. Like you we have more work to do with less help, therefore our cows have to calve and nurse on their own and then breed back or they do not stay here. We would feel confident to use any of these bulls in our own herd, and as such we are retaining the right to collect 200 straws of semen for use in our own herd at your convenience and our expense. We are pleased to work with our sale consigners Downhill Simmentals (Everett Olsen), and Perkin Land and Cattle Co. (Darryl and Tanya Perkin and family). Downhill Simmental bulls have been fed with our bulls since weaning. Putting on a sale at home like this does not happen without the help of some good people. We are fortunate to live in a community where our neighbours are our friends and I would certainly like to thank them for all their support over the years. Special thanks to our good friends, Jean Laing and Sandy Margetts, who are always there when we need a hand with anything on sale day. We look forward to meeting you on sale day, although we can not visit with everyone on sale day we would like to say a heartfelt thank you for attending our sale and supporting our programs.

Blair, Lois, Brett and Melissa McRae

p.s. Join us for a tasty Roast Beef lunch at noon. Our sale barn is heated but the bulls are on display outside, so dress accordingly.

Blackberry was no accident. When you mix the genetics of a Mulberry grand-son with a productive female like Bridget 125T things can get exciting. We flushed Bridget 125T and many of her sons are in this sale. We do not flush just any old cow, at Mar Mac it has to be the proven no miss females that we can build a herd around. Blackberry himself is such an impressive individual and boy what a job his sons and daughters are achieving.

The price spread between calves of equal weight can be from 10 to 15 centsA 550 lb calf at 10 cents that is $55.00 premium

If a bull produces 20 calves per year for 5 years that is equal to $5500.0020 calves x $55. 00 x 5 years = $5500.00

Purchased 2 red Simmental bulls at Mar Mac in 2013, hoping to color our calf crop solid red, and add some extra pounds to our calves. We breed our Simmental cows Angus, and our more Angus type cows Simmental trying to maintain that sweet 50/50 cross that works so well. We were very proud when our calves sold the first week of November in Killarney. Our 50 steers, and that was them ALL, none kept back, born after mid April, averaged 576 lbs. on nov 3 and brought an average of $2.83. That is with no creep. Just good genetics, good milk, and good grass. They came in large even groups, and pushed the scale down extremely well. As well, the 2 Mar Mac bulls are homozgous polled which is great when tagging/ringing calves out in the field in April, no horn bumps to check for!

204-826-2643 • 204-867-0076 It’s hard to believe Blair and Lois have been putting up with me for 6 years in the sale now and I thank them for that. I farm in the scenic Little Saskatchewan valley between Rapid City and Minnedosa with 1200 acres of crop-land and have scaled back my cattle herd to 36 calving cows for this spring as it was time to do a thorough house cleaning with the prices being as strong as they are. The bulls have been at Mar Mac since weaning and this is by far

my most consistent and powerful group yet with Poker face and the MRL 127Y bull being the two main groups. Thank you in advance for your interest in my program and feel free to call or stop in anytime.

I keep flipping back and forth on which one of these Poker face sons I like more but one thing is for sure he leaves tremendous calves. I sold 2 heifer calves off him at Shades of the Prairies, one to Labatte Simmentals for $7000.00 and one to North Hill Simmentals for $5000.00 and the ones I kept and the new ones this year are looking great. This bull is deep, big quartered and topped and out of a cow family that needs no introduction with what the Carli cow has done for Mar Mac. I can’t say enough about the performance of these Poker face calves. An outcross pedigree too many herds don’t miss out on an opportunity to have a Poker face working for you.

A super long bodied bull with great quarter, depth and a nice top. Out of a really productive hard milking cow that did a great job on her first calf weaning off at 860 lbs. He has a great disposition and you can’t help but to admire his eye appeal. A bull that will work very well on a black or red group of cows yet smooth enough he should work on bigger heifers as well. Don’t miss out on this black Poker face son as only myself and Triple R Simmentals have semen on him in Manitoba.

He really has the power to go on to be a bull that could change a herd with his deep, heavy muscled quarter and his big square hip and top. Like his daddy El Tigre, he has a big rib dimension that adds to his overall appeal. He’s gained almost 4 lbs/day every day of his life and has done 4.5 lbs/day since weaning, with a Ribeye EPD in the top 1%. Take note of this bull – he has the look to make an impact.

Another full sib with a very low birth weight. Analyze him, he should be a calving ease sire. A good bull, very correct and balanced.

We just can’t make enough of these 680S x Doll bulls. A bull with as much power as the best of the full brothers we have sold in the past. Full brothers have sold to Dana & Megan Johns and Art & Jackie Jonasson averaging over $8000. We have full sisters in production and it’s hard to make cows more ideal. This bull has electric hair, big top and a huge quarter and just like his brothers, his carcass credentials will be awesome (top 1% for Ribeye, top 10% for Marbling EPDs). He’s gained almost 4 lbs/day every day of his life and done 4.5 lbs/day since weaning. Another easy pick for serious cattlemen.

Kid Rock is a solid, massive bull on a moderate frame. He has as much spring of rib as any in the pen and a good, strong top and a nice, tidy head. He has a real cool mother that came out of the Agribition sale, she has lots of milk and is extremely fertile. She has consistently been a low birth weight cow with other sons at 86 lbs and 83 lbs. I think Kid Rock will be a short gestation bull that could work on well developed heifers. Take note of his EPDs: top 4% for calving ease, top 3% for YW and top 3% for Ribeye and Marbling. Kid Rock has had a maternal sister sell at the National sale in Brandon to Downey Simmentals, and a full sister sell at he Pembina Triangle to Bert’s NR Simmentals.

These Hard Rock bulls are certainly thick. This blaze faced bull is as beefy as they come and with the price of calves these days….bulls like this will pay for themselves in one season. He has done tremendous since weaning, over 4.5 lbs/day, and has very balanced EPDs – lots of calving ease and growth and top 2% for Ribeye.

This individual is out of one of our favorite 680S daughters, he is correct and balanced and has a strong top. 6B had maternal sisters sell at the Pembina Triangle sale to Firdale Simmentals and Brett Vincent. A bull that has risen to the top of the pen, he is wide based with lots of testicle.

This long sided 680S bull has wicked hair and that thick butt and wide top. His dam has produced some real eye catching progeny for us, with her first son selling to Dave and Rhonda Koslowski in 2013. She would be one of our most efficient cows, as her calves at weaning always weigh a very high percentage of her body weight. He has done well over 4lbs/day since weaning and his Ribeye EPD is top 1%.

Lots of performance in this cross with a touch more frame. His Nugget dam is a real power cow with a beautiful udder who always weans big calves – her 2011 son sold to Stan Rampton, her 2012 son to Cam Rampton and her 2013 daughter sold to Downhill Simmentals at the Pembina sale last fall for $7000 and she was a full sister to this bull. He’s in the top 1% for both Weaning and Yearling Weight EPDs and the top 1% for Ribeye, has almost a 4lbs WPA and has gained almost 4.5 lbs/day since weaning. 403B will cross well with British type cows and make very marketable calves.


This hairy, big tank of a Phil son is out of a Red Rock cow that has produced very well. His maternal sister sold in November for $7000 at the Pembina sale to Brett Vincent, and we kept her other daughter at home. With a bit of Fleck in his background, he should add extra maternal and pounds at weaning. His EPDs are a home run – top 2% for calving ease, top 5% for weaning weight, top 15% for yearling weight, top 25% for milk, top 3% for Ribeye and top 2% for marbling.




Connor BeechOn Dec. 1, 2014, our family lost a loving father, grandfather and friend when Connor passed away very suddenly. We appreciate the many thoughts and prayers we received through this difficult time. He will never be forgotten. Many of you will remember Connor in different ways. He loved to laugh and always enjoyed telling stories with Simmental friends he had made throughout his many years in the business. His years of guidance and wisdom have been invaluable in shaping our herd. From his attention to detail in the way he would do the smallest things, to that tid bit of advice he would plant in your head that you might later use. Most of all, we will miss those phone calls during a Jets game to talk about a play or that call to see how calving went at the end of the day and we always talked after one of us had been to a sale to discuss that very important sale report. Our family will never be the same without him, but through our stories and memories, we hope to keep him alive in our hearts.

in loving memory
