Since the breed was first introduced into Canada in the early 70s, Canadian breeders have worked hard to bring the breed forward to the 21st Century. Through genetic improvements, the breed has been readily accepted by the commercial cattleman. Through steer trials, bull tests, heifer evaluations (recently added), and performance recording programs, the Blonde breed has shown it has many attributes to offer the beef industry.

With moderate sized calves, these fine-boned lengthy newborns do not begin to muscle up until about 4 - 6 weeks of age, making them an ideal cross for just about any breed.

Blondes are noted for their high rate of gain which leads to above average weaning weights and one of the best feed conversions in the feedlot, making them a very profitable animal.

The Canadian Blonde d'Aquitaine Association was incorporated under the Live Stock Pedigree Act on July 15, 1970. Blonde d'Aquitaine cattle in Canada are registered through the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation, the national pedigree service for purebred livestock in Canada.
