"41'97" was Grand Champion at the 1998 Medicine Hat Bull Sale selling for $20,000 as a yearling. After seeing heavy service that year, "Magic Man" was slapped Grand Champion at the 1998 Chinook Classic Gold Show judged by Blaine Brost, a very respected Hereford breeder from Irvine, Alberta. The next day "Magic Man" was selected Supreme Champion over all breeds.

Sired by, just maybe, the greatest breeding bull of the last decade, Belvin Black Magic 42'92. Magic Man is from a 2 year old heifer that topped the 1995 Saskatchewan Masterpiece Sale. One cannot say enough about her. Sired by the TC Stockman 2164 bull, who ranks in the top 4% of all Angus bulls on the American Angus Association Sire Summary for yearling weight, in the top 10% for scrotal circumference and in the top 10% for weaning weight while showing +10 for milk. Up to date carcass data ranks him in the top 1% for rib eye and in the top 30% for marbling. His dam TC Ruby 5087 was the Top-selling female lot of the 1993 TC Ranch cow sale at $19,425, she being also the dam of the $32,000 TC Influence. Prime Beauty 48A, now owned by Ebon Hill and Benchmark, is a wonderful Rito 2100 daughter from a Prime Rate female. She has been flushed back to 2164.

Breeding On..
" The proof is in the pudding" they say, and his first calves are outstanding. The average birth weight on 14, 1999 bull calves at Benchmark was 76 lbs. while the average 205 day weight was 739 lbs and 365 day weight of 1156 lbs. With his first calf crop, I'd say there is "Magic in the air". The next year, 12 sons had an average birth weight of 87 lbs. and an average 205 day weight of 691 lbs. Included in this 2000 calf crop is the incredible "007".

Progeny Successes
It is interesting to note that the high selling bull and heifer at the 1999 Alberta Super Star were both sired by Magic Man bringing $8,750 and $14,000 respectively for our partner in Magic Man, Ebon Hill. .
