Rocking S Ranch

Rocking S Ranch is the partnership of Shawn and Patty Smith from Nokomis, Saskatchewan. The herd consists of commercial and purebred Red and Black Angus cattle. Our focus is to produce cattle that are functional for purebred and commercial cattlemen and can perform in real world conditions. Our purebred herd is managed alongside our commercial herd and must be able to perform under those conditions. Our strong commercial cattle influence has guided us to produce purebred Red and Black Angus cattle that we feel will produce strong maternal traits with a moderate frame and progeny that can be extremely efficient in a breeding program or in a feedlot. We are pleased to show our herd at anytime.

Show & Sale Results:
We currently are sold out of 2 year old Red Angus and Black Angus bulls for the spring of 2007. We would like to thank all our our current and past customers for their purchases and support.

Breeding Program:
Our breeding program consists of producing purebred Red and Black Angus yearling and two year old bulls, and purebred replacement or bred heifers. On the commercial side we market our steers through the Certified Angus Program and do sell commercial replacement and bred heifers. Current sires in use is a son of Stockman 2164, Bar 71 Rito Time (goes back to Right Time and GT Maximum), and various Red and Black Angus sires from Crescent Creek Angus. While balanced EPD traits are desirable, in addition to carcass traits, our sire selection places an emphasis on calving ease, weaning weights and maternal traits. 
 
Our Red Angus foundation females were purchased from John and Hazel Sidoryk from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.
