is to produce predictable, functional cattle that work in the real world. Our cows are not pampered, they are put on corn grazing and hay until January/February, then they are expected to calve on their own and re-breed on a roughage ration. Our cowherd is culled annually on feet and legs, performance and fertility, if they do not measure up they are sold.

Our herd sires are selected for performance, ease of fleshing, docility and structural soundness. We use embryo transfer extensively in our program using proven females that enhance the calf crops.

We host our own bull sale annually on the farm in March and consign cattle in elite female sales across Canada each fall. Our son, Brett McRae (McRae Land and Livestock) runs a Black Angus program calving in April /May. Brett will offer a top group of coming 2 year olds in our Bull Sale. These bulls are virgin bulls and developed specifically for the sale.

Here at Mar Mac Farms we are very involved in various livestock boards and keeping up with the livestock industry. Along with our sale cattle are always for sale at the farm. We enjoy the cattle business, so please stop in for a visit or give us a call about our program.
