WELCOME!
The Manitoba Bull Test Station at Douglas, Manitoba is one of the largest bull testing stations on the map.
Owned and operated by the Manitoba Beef Cattle Performance Association Inc., the test station is a non-profit organization that has been in operation for over 40 years.
The goal of the Manitoba Beef Cattle Performance Association Inc. is to develop bulls and heifers to meet the needs of the ever changing cattle industry for both the purebred and commercial cattlemen.
Visitors are welcome all year round to view the facilities and talk to the staff about programs available. During the test season visitors can get statistics on the bulls and heifers on site and look at quality livestock.
CHANGES FOR 2009 - 2010 TEST SEASON
In order to keep the Douglas Bull Test Station affordable for all consignors a pelleted ration that meets the specifications of the Manager and Board of Directors will be used once again. The pellet is designed to promote the same growth and development as the textured ration that was fed in the past.
At the Annual Meeting held in June a motion was made to have all bulls and heifers BVD Tested upon arrival. Having BVD free animals will re-ensure potential buyers that the Douglas Bull Test Station is keeping current with purebred and commercial buyer concerns. Another motion made at the Annual Meeting was to give the consignor the option to have their bull Igenity Tested immediately following the test period.
