The Saskatchewan Angus Association was proud to be part of two very successful fall female sales First up was the Masterpiece Sale, managed by Castlerock Marketing It was transformed back to a live, in person sale and was held October 21, hosted at Gold Bar Livestock The sale was hugely successful and there was a great crowd that gathered for the evening event The second sale was the All Star Angus Sale hosted at Canadian Western Agribition and managed by the team at T Bar C Cattle Co. This sale garnered a huge crowd and was held the evening of Friday, December 2. On behalf of the Saskatchewan Angus Association, we want to thank and congratulate the sales staff and all the consignors for hosting such outstanding events. It is great to see our industry move forward with such momentum and excitement
Our Gold and Junior Show in Lloydminster was hosted again at Stockade Roundup Numbers were down in the Show but once again there was excellent quality and participation from exhibitors both locally and across Saskatchewan and Alberta
One of our biggest events for the Saskatchewan Angus Association is always the Angus show at Canadian Western Agribition. Numbers were up and the quality was deep throughout the barn Many thanks to everyone who exhibited and attended these events as well as all of our sponsors We also want to say a special thanks to everyone who volunteered at the shows, it really does take a great community to pull these events together, from processing to marshalling, to judging, being a ringman or announcer and assisting with prize presentations, as well as everything in between We really appreciate each and every one of our volunteers and supporters
Our board will be hosting our spring breeder information session on April 23 in Saskatoon as a lead-up to the National Angus Convention to be hosted there June 8-10 - we invite everyone to attend. Watch our website and social media for more details as they develop. We are also excited to have our Summer Tour hosted in east central Saskatchewan August 9th and 10th. Mark your calendar, we’d love to see you there!
We look forward to the coming spring and summer events and I wish you all the best with calving and bull sales
