Comments: This is a straight Western-bred heifer, sired by our Soo Line Blackman bull, and the paternal grandmother of this heifer was arguably one of the best Angus cows ever in Canada and sold at public auction for $100,000 to the U.S. a couple of years ago. The dam is of Young Dale stock from Saskatchewan and is a stout, powerful cow.  This calf is pretty green as she was weaned on grass just a little over 2 weeks ago and has been grain fed for about 1 week.  She has been tied up a few times and is halter breaking nicely.
