Bonchuk Farms

We are a family farm operation situated near the beautiful Birdtail Valley of Manitoba. Our dad started farming in this area in 1948 and married mom in 1954.They continued to farm until their sons were old enough to carry on. Dad passed away in November, 2002 and mom passed away September 10, 2010. They live on in us. Dave & Marnee and family, Amy & Tyler, Mel & Shelley and Justin, Nikki & Gary and new addition Leah VandeHeuvel , Wayne & Charlene and Mya, Dylan & Rayna, work together raising over 400 breeding females on approximately 8,000 acres of crop (wheat, oats, barley, canola and peas), pasture and hayland.

Our herd consists of 480 registered Simmental fullbloods, red and black purebreds and a small group of commercial females. Our walking herdsire battery consists of: TNT Sting M377, LFE Rochfort 3013T, KWA Red Rock 5T, BLCC Mr. 5-Star 99U, BLCC Red Power 185W, MFI Jeremiah 9022, VIrgina Porsche 64P, Wheatland Bull 995W, ACS V-8 817U. writeup

We have expanded our genetic base with an extensive A.I. Program. Using many innovative and exciting new young bulls as well as proven foundation genetics. Headlining our A.I. Sires are: PRL Houston 005H, Gibby's Read Deal 25T, ProStock Hugo 705 2T, Wheatland Red Ace 747T, LFE BISS Black Advance 426U, Hooks Shear Force 38K, Bar 5 Stride 413P

We have worked hard on our program...it is always ongoing. We strive to raise cattle that will work in the Purebred and Commercial man's pastures. With all the difficulties in the cattle industry we can still get very excited about the Simmentals we raise. Red, black, Fleckvieh - such diversity keeps our breed ahead of others in our eyes.

Dad always use to say "Hang onto the cow's tail... she'll always pull you through!"

Looking forward to visiting with you...
the coffee is always on!
