Rick and Marilynn Deagle have been in the cattle business since 1980. The Consort area has always been home for Rick as he ranched alongside his father, Maurice until 1990. Rick took an interest in black cattle in the early nineties and began building a herd of black Simmental cross cows. In 1998 Rick and Marilynn, along with their four children Amy, Renee, Trevor and Pamela, began introducing black Maine influence into the herd. By 2000 the Deagle Cattle herd was made up of primarily black Maine herd sires. Deagle Cattle was entirely commercial until 2002 when an interest in raising higher percentage Maine Anjou cattle led Rick to introduce pure bred lines into the herd. This was the year Deagle Cattle began raising bulls for the purpose of selling for breeding. In 2004, Deagle Cattle joined forces with SW Cattle Co (Shawn and Stacey Wilson and Family), Wilson Stock Farms (Bill and Judy Wilson), Seiwert Maines (Marvin and Cynthia Seiwert) to sell their Maine Anjou bulls online with TEAM in the annual Maine Bull Sale. Deagle Cattle became incorporated in 2005 becoming Deagle Cattle Co Ltd.

Rick and Marilynn's son Trevor has finished his Agriculture Production and Livestock Management Diploma at Olds College and is back this year taking his applied Ag Business Degree. He plans on joining the company on a full time basis following the completion of his schooling. Amy is currently working in the High River Hospital and working on a Masters in Midwifery and Women's Health Practitioner. After traveling and working in the UK and Europe this fall, Renee has returned home to also work back at the High River Hospital. Pamela finished High School last spring and headed off to Saskatoon to attend the University of Saskatchewan, taking Arts and Science, working toward an Education degree.
