Dennis Harry Johnston of Johnston Angus at Conquest, Sask., passed away on June 6, 2025, with family by his side.
Born on June 22, 1946, to James and Mary Johnston, he is survived by his brother David (Sue) Johnston and family, as well as his stepchildren Shane and Richelle and their families. He was predeceased by his parents and sister, Dorothy.
Many of you will know Johnston from the Rancher’s Choice Bull Sale held along with Bill Dillabaugh, Kim Robertson and David Johnston in Medicine Hat, Alta., every spring for many years. Many from the Angus fraternity (myself included) ended up at the sale and mixer the night before partaking of much Angus fellowship. Both Dennis and David had a keen eye for cattle, and many of the great Angus cattle came from their ranch. I did own some of their cows at our place, and they did have a little scrap in them, but that’s what made them good mothers. There were no coyotes getting any of their calves.
