Calving is well underway at the farm. Lots of bull calves so far (about 80%). Purebred Angus calves sired by SAV Pioneer, SAV Potential and SAV Prosperity on the ground , along with a few crossbred calves sired by AI bulls Highliner and Sunseeker and our X-bred bull.
Looking forward to breeding most of our cows this year to our new 4 year old Angus herd sire DOUBLE AA BARDOLIER 119'08, who is a DOUBLE AA BARDOLIER 47'06 son out of DOUBLE AA ANNIE K 203'06
