Moose Creek Red Angus Dispersal Sale: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity  

After more than 50 years of breeding industry-leading Red Angus cattle, the complete Moose Creek Red Angus herd is being offered for sale—for the first and only time. This December, you can access the proven genetics that have quietly shaped herds across North America for decades.

Moose Creek Red Angus: A Legacy Built Since 1972

Founded in southeast Saskatchewan, Moose Creek Red Angus has grown from a single cow into one of Canada’s most respected Red Angus programs. Raised on native range south of the Moose Mountains, this herd is known for cattle that are hardy, functional, and built for real-world ranch conditions.

Why Moose Creek Genetics Stand Out

For over five decades, the Ippolito family has focused on the traits that truly matter:

• Maternal strength with females that consistently raise high-quality calves


• Longevity to thrive in tough environments


• Fertility and efficiency for low-maintenance, easy-keeping cattle


• Proven performance in both purebred and commercial herds

No shortcuts—just reliable genetics that keep customers coming back.

2025 Moose Creek Red Angus Herd Dispersal

This complete dispersal includes:

• Bred heifers and cows


• Bull and heifer calves


• Pregnant recipients


• Herd bulls


• Semen and embryos

Whether you’re building a maternal-focused purebred herd or improving commercial replacements, these genetics offer long-term value and herd-shaping potential.

Beef Industry News
New Task Forces To Probe Meat Industry’s Anti-Competitive Behavior

President Donald Trump has ordered the creation of new Food Supply Chain Security Task Forces to investigate possible anti-competitive behavior in the nation’s food industry — including major meat processors.

The move came Saturday through an executive order. It directs both the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission to form separate task forces, each charged with taking “all necessary and appropriate actions” to look into the food supply chain. That includes examining whether foreign ownership in food-related industries is driving up grocery prices or posing a national or economic security risk.

In the order, Trump said anti-competitive behavior — especially by companies under foreign control — threatens the stability and affordability of America’s food supply. He pointed to past settlements in which some companies paid millions to resolve price-fixing allegations. The administration, he said, intends to determine whether such practices are raising the cost of living for Americans and whether they pose any security concerns.

The President also said that if Attorney General Pam Bondi uncovers criminal collusion, the Justice Department could pursue criminal charges, including convening grand juries. The task forces are required to provide their first updates to Congress within 180 days, and again within the first year of the investigation.

This executive order follows Trump’s earlier directive for the DOJ to immediately investigate alleged collusion and price manipulation among U.S. meatpackers. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Attorney General Bondi voiced support for the effort, even as reports surfaced that a previous DOJ probe into beef-packer concentration, launched in 2020, ended without charges.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Rollins, along with trade adviser Peter Navarro and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller, has recently met with Trump to discuss rising beef prices.
