Building the Legacy Sale has become Canadian Angus Foundation’s main fundraiser focus and has been very successful in generating resources to further our mission.
The Canadian Angus Foundation functions to preserve and expand the Angus breed for future generations through education, youth development, scientific and market research, and historical preservation and restoration. The Canadian Angus Foundation was incorporated in 1993 and is the charitable arm of the Canadian Angus Association.
The vision of the Building the Legacy concept is to allow the Foundation to build monetary resources. The Foundation uses its funds to provide opportunities for our youth, young breeders and membership to grow in the areas of leadership, marketing, networking, animal husbandry, genetic improvement and to learn about developing tools to enhance Angus production. The vision also includes the importance of preserving Angus history. By fostering these areas we can ensure our Angus history is not lost and will keep Angus as the breed of choice for the commercial beef sector and end users for years to come.
Our vision is being realized and because of generous donors we can support initiatives, scholarships, travel bursaries and learning opportunities. Through benevolent giving of donated livestock, semen, embryos, items and experiences, and the purchasing of the auction offerings, we at the Foundation have been able to put together a great suite of opportunities for our Angus membership.

Donna 6205 x Bar-E-L Natural Law 52Y, Donated by
Everblack
Angus - The Gibson Family and Allandale Angus - Wayne Stetson
Coleman Donna 6205 came to us
as the top selling open female at the 2017 Angus collection sale. Donna 6205
was the calf at side when her donor dam was selected by Bohrson Marketing from
the popular Coleman Angus program in Montana. The maternal strength is strong
in this one, having two of the most respected cows in the Angus breed in her
pedigree, those being S A V Blackcap May 4136 on top and Coleman Donna 714 on
the bottom. We cannot forget about the sire of these embryos. Bar-E-L
Natural Law needs no
introduction as he has risen to be one of the top maternal sires in the Angus
breed.
