Pick of the 2018-born Heifer Calves
Donated by Red Moon Angus
Jim & Shirley and Tom & Charlotte Moon -
Vanderhoof, BC
Announcing...
Pick-of-the-Herd-2018-Born-Heifer Calf
from Red Moon Angus of Vanderhoof, BC.
Their
farm is located in the central interior of British Columbia with the home
town of Vanderhoof. Moon's are the typical rural Canadian family: they take
their cattle and their ice hockey seriously. They are a family farm raising
functional and sound Red Angus cattle, with particular attention applied to
feet, legs and structure in our herd. The Red Moon herd of breeding females
are selected for their strong maternal strengths, udders and structure. They
use both AI and walking bulls, always searching for the best sires to
complement their females.
The Moon family - Jim & Shirley and
Tom & Charlotte - are offering you the opportunity to select from their
over 40-50 head of Red Angus heifer calves. Red Moon's recent breeding
includes genetics from Canadian Directors' Lorraine Sanford and families'
Nine Mile Ranch, Quesnel, BC and Tracey Willms' and families' Wilbar Farms,
Dundurn, SK. The Moons' focus on calving ease, structure, maternal traits,
moderate frames, muscle and performance. They change their sires every two
years to ensure fresh genetics for their customers and in-herd replacements.
We so appreciate the kindness and
generosity of the Moon family for making an historic
donation of a 'Pick-of-the-Herd' to our
Canadian Angus Foundation! Their 2018 heifer calves are available for your
selection and choosing anytime. They would appreciate it if you could have
your decision made by the middle of August and the family is thrilled to show
you around and provide you all the information you need to make your
outstanding, herd-building selection.
Here are some of their great recent
heifer calves to give you a sample. Red Moon believes the 2018 heifer calf
crop is their best one yet... and YOU can have YOUR pick of 'em all!!! Thank
you so much, Moon family!!!
Be sure to check out Red Moon's
consignments - Lots 500 to 520 - in the Northern Alliance Bull

Aberdeen
Angus Figurines
Donated
by James Arnott - Coul Angus
CAA
Member James Arnott, the proud Scotsman who did such a great job organizing
us at the World Angus Forum last year, and who always supports BtL with both
donations and purchases, has done it again! He has donated an Angus cow and
bull from the Border Fine Arts Pottery Company collection.
Border Fine Arts create realistic wildlife and domestic
livestock figurines and countryside scenes. The company was founded in 1974
by John Hammond initially producing for a short time bronze and silver
figurines, and later hand-painted figurines after a suggestion from a
customer. Border Fine Arts now has a world-wide
reputation for the quality of its wildlife and livestock studies with a
growing interest in early editions whose value is increasing significantly.
Many of the Border pieces reflect a mix of British culture and wildlife such
as the very popular James Herriot Collection.
Appropriately, the ABERDEEN ANGUS FAMILY
GROUP (2005) is designed & hand made in Scotland and James donates this
bull and cow BRAND NEW IN BOX. This item can be shipped worldwide. The
Aberdeen Angus Cow is A5277 and the Aberdeen
Angus Bull is A5234.
If you collect agriculture artifacts
and, even better, Angus figurines, you will want to add James's outstanding
donation to your collection.
