Canadian Cattle Genome Project
We strongly believe in the Canadian Cattle Genome Project and have donated several straws of our prominent sires. The Canadian Cattle Genome Project is focused on delivering genomic technology to Canada’s beef industry. The project is conducting research to define the social and economic benefits and costs of using genomic technology in livestock improvement; to develop tools for low-cost, accurate genome wide selection methodologies for breeders; and to complete research so that genome wide selection can be used in Canadian herds for particularly difficult yet valuable traits. This technology will substantially increase rates of genetic improvement in Canadian cattle herds, thereby improving producer profitability and product quality in Canada.
BIO Bull & Heifer Evaluation
By using evaluated animals, you have confidence in what you will be producing. Don't leave profitability to chance! Animals can be evaluated at home or in a central facility and are evaluated for ten economically important traits. This information lets you identify animals that will fit with the dynamics of your current herd and meet your market.

Marywood Breeders Group Program
This tradition is carried forward through the Marywood Co-operators. We strive to produce calves that mature early, are exceptionally fertile, reach 700-lb at weaning, 1,400-lb at breeding and breed back within 60 days. This program allows us to offer you bulls that are at the top of their class for adding more lean meat yield, calving ease and maternal traits to your herd. We try to improve our numbers every year so that you can improve yours. We pride ourselves on our bulls because of the positive influence they can have on your calf crop and your breeding program!

THE RIGHT BULL = HIGHER INCOME
By working with Marywood Co-operators, you can be certain to select the best herd bull for all of your animals. This will help you maximize profit by decreasing the number of calves lost due to birthing complications and increase your calf crop weaning weights by up to 10-20%. Based on a cow herd of 25, increasing number of calves at weaning from 22 to 24 with better calving ease, and a average weaning weight from 600lbs to 730lbs.
Selling you weaned calves at $1.35 per pound you increase income by $4,320.00
