Canadian Angus Foundation Message Tammi Ribey, Canadian Angus Foundation Chair
Greetings from the Canadian Angus Foundation! Calving season is underway. I always think of it as a season of renewal. Watching the birth and seeing how quickly the newborn calf gets up and nurses, just makes things right with the world. The new calves are our operation’s future and our hopes
and dreams. Good luck with calving and I hope many of you find the next great one. At the Canadian Angus Foundation, we are ready for the new beginning. We are eager to get back to normal. There are so many good things the Foundation does. We support youth through education, trips and awards. We need to get back to all the events that allow the Juniors to experience new things and meet other Angus Juniors. We support education and research and history and archives for all our members. We need your support to continue to provide these opportunities to Juniors and Angus members. This year we are continuing the 15 for 50 fundraiser. Producers donated 15% of the proceeds from a lot in their bull sale. Foundation members will be contacting members about donating. If you are interested in helping us with the 15 for 50, please call or email Belinda Wagner. (bwagner@cdnangus.ca)
Building the Legacy 10 Sale is in the planning stages. We are counting on a live event at the Canadian Angus Convention in New Brunswick on Saturday June 11, 2022. We are looking for donations to make this sale a success. This is our major fundraiser, and we use the proceeds to fund our good deeds. If you are able to donate Angus genetics or an experience or an item, we would be most grateful. When our members come together to help the Foundation, we can make a powerful impact. The power of many people working together accomplishes great things. Donating also teaches the next generation about generosity. Generosity for its own sake creates a more compassionate and community focused world. Thanks to everyone for their support in the past and we hope the future. Hopefully we will see many of your in 2022 at Angus events. Take care, Tammi Ribey
