Welcome to Belvin Angus

We Raise Registered Black Angus cattle, in Alberta. We were raised in the purebred industry, with different breeds. We decided to go with Angus in 1978. One of our foundation cows was Blackface Blossom 104J purchased from Charlie Forsyth of Bashaw. It took a lot of convincing to buy the cow, however, it was worth it. Over 3/4 of our herd today goes back to that cow. We are focused on raising consistent, functional cattle and therefore continue to Black Angus cattle, in Alberta produce what our customers require.

Gavin has been a volunteer on the Beef Committee at the Calgary Stampede, member of the Alberta Cattle Breeders and a past director of the Alberta Angus Association. Black Angus cattle, in Alberta
