Notes:Owned with Sterling Angus, Belvin Rebel 33’05 is turning into an excellent breeding bull. Along with his mother, Belvin Georgia 81’03, they were Supreme Champion Female at the IPE in 2005, and Top Ten Finalists at the Royal Bank Supreme Challenge in Agribition that same year. Rebel was Reserve Champion Bull at the IPE in 2005 and 2006. Rebel is sired by FAR Krugerrand 410H, and has excellent EPD’s, being +2.0 on BW, +50 on WW, +98 on YW, +22 on Milk, +47 on TM and +48 on YG. Used heavily on heifers the last 2 years, he has been an excellent combination of calving ease and performance. The first daughter of Rebel to sell was Belvin Lady Blossom 2’07, who sold at the 2007 Angus Pride Sale for $17,600 to James Arnett of Scotland. Sons of Rebel will be available by private treaty, as well as at the Calgary Bull Sale, March 2008. Rebel will be used again heavily this year, and is a herdsire with a promising future

Notes:Belvin Panther 21’04 is a powerful Connealy Dateline son, out of Belvin Lady Blossom 47’97, a prolific donor cow. Panther is a maternal sibling to other Belvin herdsires Lincoln and Mercedes, as well as donor cows Lady Blossom 22’02, Lady Blossom 73’00, Lady Blossom 22’04 and Lady Blossom 65’03. Lady Blossom 28’02, the high selling black angus female in Canada in 2003, to Remitall, is also a maternal sister. Panther was Reserve Senior Champion Bull at Farmfair in 2006, and has proven himself to be a consistent sire, leaving behind calves with a lot of muscle, performance, eye appeal and hair. He has been used heavily the past 3 years, and his sons have been well received. Look for a number of Panther sons available at home by private treaty, and at the 2008 Calgary Bull Sale.

Notes: Kingpin was the 2002 Sweepstakes Champion Bull and went on to be Farmfair Supreme Champion bull. He is sired by Connealy Dateline, and his dam is Belvin Georgina 52'95, one of our main donor cows, who has had embryos exported to 8 countries worldwide. Kingpin was sold privately to LLB Angus, where he is one of their main herdsires. He has been used successfully in our program the past 5 years, proving to be a calving ease sire. One of his sons, Belvin Patriarch 5'04, sold for $16, 000 to Northern Black Angus and Owen O'Neill in the 2004 Black Magic Sale. Kingpin is also the sire of Belvin Lady Blossom 22'04, a female we have shown the past two years.

Notes: Stockyard was purchased from Woodlawn Farms, Creston , Illinois . Woodlawn recently dispersed their herd, with the sale grossing over $1 million. Stockyard was used in our program for a number of years with great results, leaving behind many productive daughters. Some of the highlights include Belvin Lady Blossom 3'00, who sold as a heifer calf for $15, 000 to Dynasty Farms, and Belvin Erica 10'00, also selling as a heifer calf to Leo Brietzke for $10, 000. Stockyard is owned with Diamond Willow Ranch, Airdrie , AB.

Notes: Lincoln is sired by GDAR Rolls Royce 203, a bull we used successfully in our embryo program. Lincoln 's mother, Belvin Lady Blossom 47'97, is our most prolific producing cow, and is a cornerstone of our herd. Lincoln was a powerful individual who had an actual yearling weight of 1500 lbs. He was Grand Champion Bull and high seller at the 2003 Calgary Bull Sale, where he sold to Remington Cattle Co. for $11, 000. Lincoln is the sire of Belvin Georgina 81'03, a future donor cow that we have shown successfully last year as a yearling heifer, and this year as a two year old.

Notes: Nighthawk is sired by Connealy Kincaid, a bull who died at a young age, making his offspring extremely rare. Nighthawk's mother, Belvin Lady Blossom 73'00, is another daughter of Lady Blossom 47'97. As a yearling in 2004, Nighthawk was junior champion bull at the Calgary Stampede, the Saskatchewan Gold Show in Lloydminster, and the Olds Fair.

Nighthawk was Reserve Junior Champion at Farmfair and Agribition, as well as Reserve Champion Bull at the Olds Fair. He sold in the 2004 Masterpiece sale at Agribition, where a half interest sold for $21, 500 to Diamond T Cattle Co., Olds , Alberta . As a two year old, Nighthawk was Champion Angus Bull at the IPE, in Armstrong , BC . His first calves were born in 2005, and look impressive. We used him extensively in 2005, and plan to use him heavily through AI again in the future.

Notes: Mercedes is sired by OGL Battle Cry, and his mother is Belvin Lady Blossom 47'97. Mercedes is a flush mate to Lady Blossom 22'02, and Lady Blossom 28'02, two young females who already have a lot of history. Mercedes was Champion and High Selling Bull at the 2004 Calgary Bull Sale, when he sold for $7500 to Diamond Willow Ranch. We have had the opportunity to use Mercedes naturally the past two years, and he has been our most heavily used sire. He has already proven himself as a tremendous breeding bull, siring Belvin Patriot 34'04, who as a yearling was Champion and High Selling Bull in the 2005 Calgary Bull Sale, selling to Remitall Cattle Co. for $12,000. Mercedes is also the sire of Belvin Lady Blossom 64'04, our feature bred heifer, and Belvin Duchess 04'05, our feature heifer calf, in the 2005 Black Magic sale this December. As well, he is the sire of Belvin Lady Blossom 9'04, our bred heifer selling in the Masterpiece sale this November during Agribition.
