| The Switzer family from Aneroid, Saskatchewan, have been
registering Angus cattle in Canada since 1945. Bob Switzer's parents started breeding registered Angus cattle in 1945 under the name of "Southern Lane Farms". In 1966 Bob purchased his first registered Angus from the Corydon dispersal at Elbow, Sask., eventually leading to the establishment of "Sandy Bar Ranch" at Aneroid. In 1978, the now popular Short Grass Bull & Female Sale was started in partnership with Larry & Ian Gross of Wiwa Creek Angus at Rush Lake in order to improve the outlet for black Angus bulls in south-west Saskatchewan. A third partner, John Frank of Assiniboia, also joined the fledgling sale with the event being moved to Consul, Sask., where it remained until re-locating to Aneroid in 1998. The sale continues to draw bidders, buyers and visitors from a wide area of the southern prairies and the northern United States and is held annually on the third Saturday of April each year. |
