Honourary President Doug Howe Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

Spring is finally here! I hope this finds everyone well, and that everyone has had a successful calving season. As we move into breeding, I think it is safe to say that this spring we have seen many record-setting bull sales across the country. It’s exciting to think cattle prices are at all-time highs. With rising operating costs and higher costs of production, I say it’s about time that we see our product, “Beef” at new record highs.

The Saskatchewan Angus Association has an exciting, event filled summer ahead. This year it is our turn to host the National Convention. It will be held June 8-10 in Saskatoon. We invite everyone to join us as it is looking to be an exciting few days. I want to thank all of the organizers; these events take countless hours of planning and preparation to make happen. A special thank you also needs to go out to all of the sponsors that have graciously donated to our event. You will find a list of them in this issue of the Edge - please take the time to acknowledge them and to support their businesses when the opportunity arises.

As summer moves forward into July another big event will be held in Swift Current the 20th-22nd. The National Junior Angus Show “Showdown” will see Juniors from across the country come together to compete in all sorts of competitions, from the conformation classes to the annual cook off. It is an excellent event for your juniors to attend.

Into August we have the much anticipated, and ever popular Saskatchewan Angus Summer Tour. We look forward to joining you and many others in the East-central area of the province August 9th-10th for what promises to be yet another excellent must attend event. We are also excited to have the Canadian Angus Association’s Verified

Angus Beef BBQ Competition as part of the wrap up to the tour in Dysart Thursday night. Make sure you register early with our tour hosts to help with the planning process!

At our April board meeting we also decided to move our Annual General Meeting to October 20th in conjunction with the Masterpiece Sale and to update the process for selecting our Commercial Producer and Breeder of the Year. Check out the

The Saskatchewan Angus Association recently developed a new Strategic plan, that will help forge a path and direction for the association for the next number of years. Thank you to all who provided input.

See you in Saskatoon in June!
