The Transcon Team

Jay started with Transcon in 1996. Jay grew up in a purebred beef family in Central Alberta, then when his dad dispersed, ran a successful business managing show strings at major shows in Canada and the U.S. Jay's youth, enthusiasm, cattle knowledge, and love of the Simmental breed and its breeders has quickly gained him a stature and credibility.

Jay's visits to over 200 farms every year communicating with breeders keeps him in tune with what breeder's big and small need. Jay's success as an order buyer also is unprecedented and he has very quickly gained the confidence of buyers who allow him to represent them at the sale in their absence. Jay's manner on the auction block with the auctioneer is as good, or better, than any other in this field. He understands that his job is to enhance the value of the animal in the sale ring. His knowledge of the program behind the sale animal, gained while doing farm visits, is invaluable to the marketing of the animal.
