Historically, when one mentions Aberdeen Angus cattle, the color “Black”
automatically comes to mind. However, ‘Red” animals have appeared since
the earliest days of the breed. According to Lloyd Pickard, writing in the 1985
E
L Canadian Angus History Update, Red females were eligible for registry in the
A Red Mac Sherok 28D, High- Canadian herdbook until 1921, though Red males were not. In 1921, the by-law
S Selling Heifer at $3,500, E.A.
was changed to read “an animal red in color, shall not be eligible for registry,”
(Ted) Hames Jr.
E
This state persisted until 1968, when there was interest in uniting the Red and
L
C Black Angus into one Herdbook in Canada. The change was made April 3,
A 1968, with the stipulation that “Red” precede the herd prefix in naming Red
N Angus cattle registered in Canada.
N
In the beginning, Canadian-born Red Angus could not fill the demand,
I
P and cattle were imported from the United States, where there are two

E associations, the American Angus Association, and the Red Angus Association
H of America founded in 1954. Animals registered in the Red Angus Association
T
were eligible for registry in the Canadian Association.
Red Emulous 69D, 1974
Calgary Spring Show Grand In the early 1960s an interest in using and raising Red Angus cattle was
Champion Bull
growing in Southern Alberta. The MacKinnon Ranch of Bassano, was credited
with importing the first Red Angus bulls from the U.S. The Mackenzie family
of Mountain View, Alberta, and Gary Conrad of Fort Macleod were credited
with importing both females and bulls to start their purebred Red Angus
herds. Over the subsequent 5-10 years other breeders across the country
started to put together their herds.
In the fall of 1972, a group of four new Red Angus breeders, at Millarville,
Alberta, held a field day, to showcase their animals, and offer information
on the breed. These breeders were David Glaister, Mike Rogers, David
Heifer at 1978 Farmfair Wildman and Earl Watson with Valley Cattle Co. It was felt at that time,
in Edmonton
that promotion was a priority, in order to advance the breed. To that end, a
meeting was held, and the Canadian Red Angus Promotion Society was born.
Twelve breeders present that day, are considered the founding members. Of
those 12, 45 years later, five are still operating as purebred operations.
The 12 Founding Members Were:
Mackenzie Brothers • Gordon Habberfield • Ken Fraser (Six Mile)
Seaman Family (Valley Cattle Co.) • Sibbald Brothers (Triple SSS)
Earl Watson • Glaister Family (Mesa Creek) • Kendall Ranch
Gary Conrad • Wildman Family (Towaw Cattle Co.)

Many of the first purebred Red Angus breeders came from a commercial
cattle background. As such, they were performance oriented. Long before
EPDs entered the picture, many of these herds were enrolled in the
Canadian Record of Performance program. From this, bull tests evolved,
with the Red Angus Breeders of Canada bull test and sale, based out of
Millarville, AB, enjoying much success for several years. The Red bulls were
very popular and many breeders held their own bull sales for years and
continue to this day.
1982 Stockade Round-Up
This year, 2017, marks the 45th Red Roundup Sale, sponsored by the
Grand Champion Bull
Canadian Red Angus Promotion Society. The first sale was held in Innisfail,
Alberta, in 1973 and it is the longest running Angus sale in Alberta. There were
46 lots, averaging $1,408. A decision was made early on to make this a select
sale, with breeders opening their herd to the selector. Over the years, this
process has resulted in a highly successful sale.
For the 40th Anniversary of the Red Roundup, a video presentation was
commissioned by the Canadian Red Angus Promotion Society to document
the history of the group. Founding members were interviewed, where
possible, to record their recollections and memories. Because this group 1982 Stockade Round-Up
has always had members from across Canada, it could not be a registered Grand Champion Female
society. So, in fact, it has no official standing. The Canadian Association
has recognized it for a long time, and treated it much the same as a
Provincial Association.
E
The Mackenzie families of Mountainview, Alberta, were one of the first L
breeders of Red Angus in Canada. At the famed Calgary Bull Sale in 1971, they A
S
showed Red Stormalong 3A to Grand Champion honors, and sold him for the
high price of $7,200. This was a first for the Red cattle, and marked a change 1982 Red Roundup E
L
in traditional thinking within the Angus breed. In 1974, Southholm Angus at C
Coaldale, Alberta, sold an outcross bull, Red Emulous 69D, for the record A
price of $15,000 at the Calgary Bull Sale. The value of a red calf from black N
parents, was finally recognized. Outcross Red cattle continue to be of value N
to the breed and enhance the genetic base for those breeders that breed PI
predominantly Red Angus.
E
In Canada, throughout the ’60s and ’70s, Red and Black cattle were shown H
together. As numbers of breeders and cattle increased, there was interest in T
splitting into separate shows. The first Canadian National Red Angus show Red Razor’s Edge 8D, 1994
Canadian Western Agribition
was held in Lloydminster in 1982. This was an exciting time for Red breeders
Grand Champion Bull
as they now had a show to call their own. Within 10 years Red shows were
being held at Farmfair, Agribition, and various other Provincial Gold shows
across the country. Without the continued good work of the Promotion
Society these changes would not have come about.
Red Angus breeders quickly became involved in the Canadian Angus
Association. Don Mackenzie, Mountainview, AB, served as a director on the
board from 1978-1980. Dave Wildman, Sangudo, AB, served two terms on the
board, and was the first Red breeder to become President of the association.
Red Towaw Annette 123Y &
He has been followed by other Red breeders in the Chair including: Barney Red Towaw Matrix 19D, 1994
Creech, Don Mackenzie, Kirk Wildman, Kevin Blair, Corrinne Gibson, David National Champion Female
Sibbald, and current President, Brett Wildman.
The Red side of the Canadian Angus breed has grown by leaps and bounds
over the years with breeders coming from other breeds as well as the
commercial sector. Canadian Red Angus are known throughout the world for
their quality and have been exported to all corners of the globe.
When the Promotion Society was formed 45 years ago, the sole mission
was to promote the breed. The mission has been accomplished, and Red
Angus are recognized across the country, and have become an integral part Red Ter-Ron Fully Loaded

RED COCKBURN ASSASSIN 624D | Son of Lot 1 Red Cockburn Cora 254Z is earning notoriety as one of the
most accomplished Red Angus females in North America. She
stems from the Cora family that has been one of the constant
creators of breed improvement, and Red Cockburn Cora 254Z
is just beginning to fully impact the industry with her outlying
progeny. She is the maternal sister of Ribeye 308U, and there are
20 direct daughters from Red Wilbar Cora 443P in the Cockburn
program. The combination of phenotype and genotype are held
in perfect harmony with Cora 254Z and her family members.
Her son, Red Cockburn Assassin 624D, was the high-selling bull
in this year’s Cockburn bull sale when he sold to Brylor Ranch for
$77,500. Semen sales alone have approached the $100,000 level.
A maternal sister, Red Cockburn Cora 501C, was sold through The
Power and Perfection for $15,000. Moreover, Red Cockburn Cora
254Z averages just under 10 embryos per flush.
Red Cockburn Cora 254Z is entering her prime productive
years, and is a spotlighted female that sells as Lot 1 in this sale.

Red Rainbow Countess 32X is the favorite female of visitors Daughter of Lot 2
at Rainbow Red Angus. The beautiful female produces replicas
of herself, and the progeny from this great donor have been
some of the most highly sought after. Her last two heifer calves
brought $25,000 and $25,500 respectively from Jady LeDoux,
and her 2016 heifer was a Division Champion at the National
Western Junior Show.
The sire, Red U-2 Big League 7136T, is one of the most explosive
herd bulls in the industry. He sired Red U2 Blind Side 469D, the
high-selling bull in the 2017 U2 Ranch Bull Sale when he was
purchased by Rust Mountain View Ranch. The consistency and
uniformity of production from this breeding bull adds much
reliability to this prized genetic package.
To add value to this remarkable breeding female, she carries
the service of Red Cockburn Assassin 624D, the high-selling bull
in the Cockburn Bull Sale this year, and a son of Lot 1 in this sale.
