We bought Cola from Ray and Anne Marie Hauck in the fall of 2004 ...site unseen. We needed a buck for breeding season and we wanted a Kalahari line of offspring. Cola has added color and thickness to our kid crop and definately has done a wonderful job for us. He is very well definined in his front quarters and he throws this trait into his offspring.
Februaury 3 2007, Red Cola passed away on our Ranch.
This page is dedicated to sires used at SLF Ranch that have contributed to the genetics we are currently producing.
We have numerous son's and daughters's of these great bucks that make up the foundation of our herd. They continue to pass on the great genetic qualities that intrigued us about these bucks.
We bought Escalade from Ray and Anne Marie Hauck at the Ram H breeders Ltd. Legacy Sale in July, 2005. We used him in our fall 2005 breeding program and his kids have definately impressed us. Escalade has added frame and length into our herd and we are expecting great breeding stock to come out of this guy.
SLF Redberries and SLF Tex are excellent examples of what this buck did for us.
-Junior Champion & Reserve Grand Champion Boer Buck @ 2005 Red Deer Westerner show.
-Senior & Reserve Grand Champion Boer Buck @ 2006 Farmfair International Show, Edmonton, Alberta.
We raised Redberries here at SLF ranch and were quite proud of what he developed into. His offspring will join our herd in 2009.
We bought Pedro from Sheila Thackery at Agribition in Regina in November 2004. He was just a little guy when we brought him home and he developed into a wonderful thick, big boned buck. We have used Pedro for 5 breeding seasons now and he has produced wonderful fast growing thick kids. He was our first Purebred buck that we added to our herd, and he has payed for himself numerous times over!
Sadly, we lost him in the -40 C weather we had this winter (2009). His last kid crop will be in April, 2009. We are expecting 40 does to kid with his genetics.
Central Alberta Royale 145 R
We bought Royale from Ron and Joan Prediger off the farm.
This buck definately brought thickness into our breeding program.
