Welcome to Riverdale 
Celebrating 20 Years!  
 
Riverdale has been operating for 24 years, 20 of those years we have been raising Purebred Red Angus. 
Red Angus Bulls were used on our commercial herd prior to & 
after our marriage in 1983. We could not raise the females fast enough. The demand for these cattle has not declined since that time...  
 
in 2004 the Riverdale prefix was used for the first time in 2 separate herds.  
 
Our Daughter Jenna and husband Jarret Loveridge have started their own purebred herd and have registered their tattoo letters as JJL ours remains as RCMP.  
 
Combined we will have over 50 Top Quality, Uniform Red Angus Sons from the following sires: 
AI Sires-- Red LSF Combination- Red BUF CRK Romeo- Red Glaciers EBV'S Fire-Red HLH Equalizer-Red Lakeford KAPTON Natural Sires--Red Flying K Baron 5N- Red Sooline Hercules 12M - Red Riverdale Boom 488M-Red Cresent Creek H0904 52K  
Female littermates are for sale by private treaty right now!!Our 2006 Heifer pen is outstanding...Not one single slacker in the entire group.  

Breeding Program:
At Riverdale we believed that our females are the backbone to our operation. From the beginning we have retained our own females allowing us to bred large numbers of half sisters resulting in one of the most uniform herds you will find anywhere. 
 
The high majority of our females have very correct udders with good attachment and small teat size that do not break down with age. This has resulted in increasing the longevity in our herd. We have a 16 year old cow that still has a perfect udder. 
 
We breed Naturally and Artificially to sires with no less than 37 cm yearling scrotal measurement, that pass on high performance, moderate frame, thick hair coats, great confirmation, excellent dispositions and moderate birth. 
With the exception of the odd backward calf there has never been the need to assist our cows during calving only ensure the newborns are taken in out of the elements. 
 
We do not breed extremes, we do not use creep feeders, we do not follow fads...
