The Canadian Angus Foundation is pleased to announce these extraordinary donations to our 7th annual "Building the Legacy" fundraiser auction occurring on Saturday, June 9th, 2018 in Comox, BC as well as online.
Pick-of-the-Herd Heifer Calf
Donated by Crescent Creek Angus
Wes & Kim Olynyk - Goodeve, SK
From
one of Canada's Heritage Angus herds, you get your choice of their entire 2018 heifer calf crop!
This
is one of those rare opportunities that come around as rarely as finding gold
on a fishing trip.
To
celebrate their 65th anniversary with Angus cattle (purebreds came a
few years later), the Olynyk family, one of
our Canadian Angus 'royal' families - awarded their 50-Year Heritage Award in
2005 - are giving you a 'chance of a lifetime'!

 |

(Rosebud 115F) The impact Crescent Creek Rosebud 115F has made on
multiple Angus herds throughout Canada is immeasurable. She was named Premier Dam at the 2009 World Angus Forum in Calgary.

(Queen Ruth 14W)
Another widely recognized cow family at Crescent Creek.

From Wes: "We find it an exciting
opportunity to get a chance to select from the heart of a program known for strong cow families. The strength of our program does not revolve around AI sires but rather strong
walking bulls representing prolific cow families. We believe the strength of many herds is the result of such walking bulls. Our program offers outcross pedigrees that could very well be valuable in establishing the next great one. The offering is the culmination of 65 years of breeding purebred Angus cattle. The traits this maternal breed is known for has led to our breeding philosophy."

Semen Donation
10 straws of semen (2 x 5) offered for the
first time EVER on Bar S Range Boss 4002!
Donated by the Liebreich family
of Merit Cattle Co. - Radville, SK.
Range
Boss was found in Kansas by the Liebreich's
friend, Riley Lafrentz, who thought they would be interested in this unique
breeding piece. His structure is impeccable and he consistently passes that on
to his progeny. Range Boss checks a lot of boxes. He's got a great look and
presence about him. He's long bodied, deep sided and easy fleshing, with great
hair, good scrotal and feet and a disposition that is second to none. The Pride
cow family at Bar S is a cornerstone in their operation. He's really stamped
his progeny and his sons and daughters have been equally in demand, including
at their bull sale last Monday. His sons have met great acceptance being
highlighted by Merit Sting who sold ½ interest in the Masterpiece at Agribition
to Double F for $52,000. A daughter, Merit Flora 6078 is a popular many-time
champion including Grand Champion Female at the Weyburn Regional, Champion Owned Female at Showdown, and
Reserve Champion Female at Lloydminster Stockade Roundup Gold Show. Another
daughter was selected last year by Poplar Meadows as the $15,000 high selling
'Pick of the Herd Heifer Calf' donation to last year's edition of Building the
Legacy. His first daughters calved this spring and display impeccable udder
structure. Range Boss is poised to become the next generation foundation sire at
Merit. And you can build on this very foundation!
Rare Angus Collectible
Donated by Belinda Wagner
From
the 'Rob Holowaychuk Collection' and donated to us by our Foundation Executive
Director Belinda Wagner (2017 BMO Women in Agriculture award recipient, by the
way!), please see these two special Hycroft plates.
Hycroft
China Ltd. operated from 1955 until 1989 at the former plant site of Medicine
Hat Potteries. Mayor Harry Veiner is credited with taking over the failing
operation and producing sanitary ware such as toilets and sinks and their
well-known dishes, such as these plates. The plant is now part of The Friends
of Medalta world-class museum in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
Rob
scoured the antique shops and garage sales of our country in search of these
rare Angus plates, and Belinda is donating the 'fruits of his search' in BtL7.
In honouring one of our Foundation's greatest supporters, the memory and
meaning of Rob's appreciation for these collectibles is even more valuable than
the plates themselves. Please consider making them part of your Angus
collection!
We
will be featuring more donations monthly between now and the fundraiser on June
9th, both through The
Angus Word as well as social media and, perhaps, some special
e-blast announcements. If you are interesting in donating something to our
greatest of Canadian Angus causes, please do not hesitate to contact
"Building the Legacy 7" Chair Shawn Birmingham: shawnbirmingham@yahoo.ca.
And
plan to be part of the action at Convention in Comox!
