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.

Feature Lot – 1 Package of 10 Semen Straws - BSF Hot Lotto 1401, Donated by Hamilton Farms - The Hamilton Family

BSF Hot Lotto 1401 is perhaps the most complete son of Cash to date. His tremendous thickness, soundness, bone, foot size and fleshing ability make him exceptional. He was the most popular display bull in Denver at the NWSS in 2015. He is a maternal brother to the two-time Reserve Grand Champion Bull in Denver, BSF Opportunist Z5.
Hot Lotto’s presence and unique pedigree dictate popularity among seedstock and commercial breeders alike. He sires progeny that are demanded in all circles of our industry and put money in the pocket of those who use him. Hot Lotto’s dam has proven herself and the entire cow family are terrific producers.

Feature Lot - Your choice of three official Canadian Angus Wendy Risdale prints, Donated by the Canadian Angus Association and Canadian Angus Foundation

At the celebration of our centennial in 2005, CAA unveiled our first-ever official art: two works by Wendy Risdale. Ten years later, with very few of those prints left, we commissioned new official art. Today, all four of the originals hang on the walls at Angus Central and we are offering you the chance to own a piece of our history in one of the few ‘Master of the Herd’ Red Angus prints left from 2005; one of the 2015 Red Angus ‘Time Out’ prints or the 2015 Black Angus ‘Maternal Watch’ print. Master of the Herd is matted and framed. Time Out and Maternal Watch are printed on canvas and framed attractively in rustic dark barnwood. A great addition to any collection.


Feature Lot - History Book, Two Limited-Edition Copies, Donated by the Canadian Angus Association and Canadian Angus Foundation

Hot off the press, the Canadian Angus Foundation is pleased to launch The Breeds, the Legends, the History: Canadian Angus History Book, 2019 Edition at Convention. Dead Wood Furniture has created unique wooden boxes to showcase these limited-edition, leather-bound versions of the book. Building the Legacy 8 is your first chance to own one of these one-of-a-kind creations. Only a handful of these numbered books were printed with a leather cover, and each one has a unique wooden display box. The 560-page full-colour history book contains a comprehensive review of the history of the Angus breed, an overview of Angus in Canada, and 363 Canadian Angus member histories in the members’ own words. This book will make you laugh and cry, and will make you feel incredibly proud to be part of the Canadian Angus fraternity.

Semen is no longer on the market on the $125,000 phenom from Brooking Angus Ranch. He is a performance bull packed with maternal strength that will add value to both sons and daughters. His dam EA Rose needs little introduction as she is nearly impossible to fault. Bank Note daughters are carrying on his maternal lineage with perfect udders, volume, capacity and complete made.
Bank Note is an impressively sound individual that will add extra muscle, stoutness and rib capacity in a very attractive package.



Feature Lot – 1 Package of 5 Semen Straws - MJT Impressive, Donated by MJT Cattle Company, The Trefiak Family and South View Ranch, The Kaufmann Family

MJT Impressive is sired by the 2016 Canadian Angus Show Bull of the Year, MAF First Impression 4420. Used in many flushes, his progeny have been showing exceptionally moderate birth weights and then growing very efficiently and turning heads around the globe. Here at home we couldn’t be happier with his daughters in production as they are the type to build a cow herd. MJT Impressive’s dam, DMM Blackcap Essence 7Y, was the 2013 Canadian Angus Show Female of the Year. 7Y has proven herself to be a big time producer with the unique ability to pass along extra hip dimension and muscle shape that is complimentary to many breeding lines without sacrificing udder quality and femininity.
