Our first calves are arriving off our new angus herd sire purchased from Murray Ranches. He might be named after his impressive sire, but his dam truly is INCREDIBLE!

The opportunity to get in on J-Star’s leading lady. Carefree was the one that started it all. Her and her progenies show records have been impressive. We can always count on her to produce one that will bring home the banners. Matings sired by Caliber, Mountainview and our exciting new herd sire from Westway, Mr.Banks!

We went to FNL last year in search of a red donor female. This heifer from Hoegl’s checked off all the boxes and then some! She has been a crowd favourite since she arrived and was a competitive and consistent part of the show string. This heifer will be the cornerstone of the J-Star program for years to come!

Exciting mix of genotype and phenotype!
