DONATION HEIFER 1
This spring, 12 breeders from Quebec got together to purchase a heifer. We created a lottery to decide from which farm the heifer was to be purchased from. Ferme Coujo Charolais was the winner of the lottery, and from that, Miss Coujo Fafelu 506N was purchased.
Miss Coujo Fafelu 506N is a beautiful deep deep-bodied heifer calf. She is the daughter of Cedarlea Gibson 55G. She should make a promising prospect.
This female will be sold by Dutch auction with tickets only $10.00 each. Tickets will be auctioned off at the sale, with the draw being made at the end of the sale.
Call any FCCF board members if you would like to purchase tickets before the sale.
The heifer will stay on the farm until after she is weaned in September and then put on a transport for her new home.
