Welcome…
We would like to invite you to the 2014 AUTUMN CLASSIC SHORTHORN SALE. This year
we are offering for sale 16 lots of top Shorthorn genetics. It is quite the lineup of excellent
show prospects for next year, and breeding stock that will lead the future for your herd.
Included in the sale this year is the final herd dispersal of Workman‟s Shorthorns, a herd built
by the late Murray Workman along with his family from Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Murray was
known to many as a great man, a dear friend, a proud supporter of 4-H and fellow Nova Scotia
Shorthorn breeder.
The future success of any breed is often measured by the juniors involved. In recognition of
that we are very pleased to offer a Junior Incentive Purchase Program. The details are
outlined in the catalogue.
If you have any questions regarding the sale, terms & conditions, or any of the cattle included,
please do not hesitate to contact the breeders. Thank you and we hope to see you at the sale;
we look forward to your visit! Plan to come early to view the cattle, a warm welcome awaits
you !
