Condolences to Brents family from the MANITOBA ANGUS PRODUCERS
I had the great pleasure of knowing Brent for a large part of my life. From a young teenager his strong handshake while looking you straight in your eyes taught me the right way to meet men. His knowledge of the cattle business helped me forge my way into the business.
One of the best memories I have is when he helped my son, Carson, select a female. He told me what a pleasure it was to help the 3rd generation at Greenbush Angus select cattle.

Brent Wesley Carey October 2nd, 1958 - May 9th, 2024
Well Brent the pleasure was mine and Carson’s to have you pass your great knowledge onto us.
Your friendship is held near and dear to me.

Editor’s Corner
Lois McRae and Arlene Kirkpatrick
Hope everyone has enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. We have been truly blessed to get the crops off, hay baled and feed in the yards for the winter.
It is weaning time for some producers and it is exciting to take a group of calves to the auction mart. The prices are strong and we deserve it after BSE . It is exciting times in the Livestock Industry .
In the spring of 2024, we had the misfortune of loosing Brent Carey. Brent was the auctioneer at the Keystone Klassic Sale from 1988 - 2023 . When the Manitoba Angus decided to start the Keystone Klassic Sale: Brookmore, Greenbush and Mar Mac Farms were the founding consignors. Brent stepped in as Auctioneer and also became a Mentor and Good friend to us all. His positive attitude, hard work and dedication to the Manitoba Breeders and Keystone Klassic Sale made a lasting impact on all of us. His contributions, sense of humour and his friendship will never be forgotten. On behalf of the Manitoba Angus Association, we thank you Brent for the good times, memories and the impact you had on the Angus industry . Rest in Peace Brent. See page 1 for more memories.
This fall due to lack of numbers there will not be a Keystone Klassic Angus Sale in December. We hope to get things rolling again in the future.

MANITOBA ANGUS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT ’S MESSAGE
Happy Fall Everyone,
As I write this report, harvest is on the home stretch, and we are in full swing of feeder cattle entering the auction marts. Feeder cattle prices are staying strong, and producers have never been more willing to let go of cows and bulls they aren ’t pleased with, as cull cattle prices are spectacular. On another positive note, with talking to producers from across the province there isn ’t many places that claims to be short on feed. In fact, the feed situation in western Canada is in a good place. Of course there are areas that are still considered to be in a drought, but there are pockets along the prairies that haven ’t seen a hay crop like this year ’s for over a decade due to chronic drought. The beef business is in a great position and there is lot ’s to be positive about these days.
In terms of what ’s new in the MB Angus world, we have some dates to make sure are etched into your calendars. Ag Ex is right around the corner and the Angus show this year is scheduled for the Thursday Oct 24. Entries are in and we expect many exhibitors in both the Black and Red Angus. We again received enough entries to be able to host a separate Black and Red Angus show this year. In Nov, our AGM will be held at Section 6 Brewery Company on Nov 22 @ 7pm with a social hour and appetizers starting at 6pm. Then on Dec 6 th we look forward to welcoming back the Manitoba Magic Red Angus Sale, to be held at the Keystone Centre, it has been many years since this sale was held and we look forward to bringing it back to the province.
So as I said, make sure you have these dates marked in your calendars this fall and I hope to see you all at these upcoming events.
Cheers,
Devin Boitson MAA President
Message from the Canadian Angus President
—Ronnie Ford
Greetings fellow Angus members!
I would like to introduce myself as the Maritime Director and the 89 th Canadian Angus President. I feel very honoured to be chosen to represent the Canadian Angus Association on the National level. This is a lifetime opportunity, to represent the Angus breed and what I will take away when I complete my second term.
I attended Showdown in Grassie, Ontario on July 18 - 20th. There was great participation from all Junior members across Canada. There were 125 members and 150 head of cattle congregated for Showdown. Our future looks good from the strong participation by Juniors in shows across Canada. I had the privilege of being a judge of the seventeen off category. Every team prepared a delicious meal. Congratulations
I attended the BC Angus Association AGM and Jackpot Show in Quesnel on September 28 - 29th. I had the honour of being one of the judges on the panel of three for the Jackpot show.
The Canadian Angus Association has brought out new changes for the membership and we look at changes as being positive. The Board of Directors, CEO and staff are working hard for the betterment of the Association and efficiencies for the members. There are exciting things in the future for the Angus breed.
I look forward to meeting many of you at the Canadian Angus Convention in June 2025 in Manitoba.

Canadian Junior Ambassador Report
Lainie Muir , Glenella, MB
Hello everyone,
I am beyond excited to be writing to you as this year ’s Canadian Angus Foundation Robert C. McHaffie Junior Ambassador. My time in this role began during our National Convention hosted in and around Toronto, Ontario in June. A fabulous group of Association members representing our 7 regions were in attendance. We all got to experience a thorough look into Eastern agriculture. From the Kawartha Ethanol Plant & the Elora Research Station tours, to visits and cattle displays at Whiskey Lane & Walkerbrae farms, there was no shortage of sights to see and things to learn.
I especially enjoyed taking in the 2nd Annual Verified Angus BBQ Competition where 4 vendors were selected & paired with an Ontario beef producer. A message for everyone - if you get the opportunity to attend the Verified Beef BBQ in the future, do it! The food is positively delicious and seeing the passion put into preparing Canadian Angus beef at this event is incredible. It serves as a great reminder of the significance behind the work we all do at home to make quality beef
On July 3, I spent the day at the Neepawa 4-H Fat Stock Show & Sale. There was a strong representation of enthusiastic young 4-H members from the Angus breed, which is always great to see.
20. Traveling to Ontario gave me the opportunity to build connecti ons with many juniors I had not yet had the chance to meet and gain exposure to the style of cattle representing the Angus breed in th e eastern half of Canada, particularly in ON & QC. I had a great time competing in 11 of the events offered at Showdown. It is safe to say that we have an overwhelming amount of talent from peewees through to seniors. A special thank you to Kevin and James McNaughton for providing Vo s Vegas Black Pearl 2310 for me to exhibit in conformation and showmanship. I think it is important to note how many Eastern breeders prepared and hauled cattle to the grounds for our Western members to compete with throughout the week, this allowed many of us to take par t in all com-
Up in Neepawa, MB with a string of 4 bred and owned Crossing Angus fem ales. This weekend was certainly a summer highlight for me. I got the chance to get to know up -and-coming juniors within and outside o f the Angus back in 2017. Round-Up is one of the first places I put many industryrelated skills: from graphic design to judging, and showmanship, to practice. Getting to compete in the event again as a seni or member was a full circle moment with a highlight of exhibiting alongside my sister, Ryder. We are so fortunate to have Round -Up- and even more fortunate to have the exceptional members of the committee who make it all happen- in Manitoba.
On August 20th & 21st I took in the Canadian Beef Industry Conference (CBIC) at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon. The two days w ere packed full of enlightening conversation, high-quality meals, & both informative and insightful presentations. Between economic reports, dis cussing the effects of different rations on rumen health, or extreme weather and how it relates to forage production, just to name a few, there was something for everyone. Personal highlights for me included a talk on how beef consumption can be linked to the suppression of me ntal illnesses such as dementia and the possible future for the use of beef genetics on dairy cattle.
Since attending CBIC I am settling back into my school schedule at the University of Saskatchewan learning all things Soil Sc ience. Throughout the fall I will be keeping busy with my classes & university clubs, going home to Glenella when possible for Crossing Angus f all processing activities, & attending as many events as I am able as Ambassador. I hope to see many of you on the fall show string. Keep an eye out for me at Manitoba AgEx, Farmfair, & Agribition! You can reach me at (204) 841 -1105 or crossingangus@gmail.com with any Junior Angus-related questions or just to chat. I wish everyone the best of luck with fall grazing, weaning, and all the other fall festivities yo u get up to. Have a great rest of 2024!
Lainie

HISTORY OF THE CANADIAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION
Where it all began - Manitoba 1906
When the Canadian Angus Association was formed, all the directors and officals were from Western Canada and the breed association office was in Winnipeg, Manitoba.The constitution and by laws were approved at the first meeting in Brandon, Manitoba on March 1, 1906.
The Canadian Angus Association was incorporated on May 4, 1906. The first Annual General Meeting was held in Winnipeg in July 1906. The Honourable W. Clifford of Manitoba was the first president in 1906,1907 Samuel Martin of MB, and 1908-1910 John Tranquair, Manitoba
One of the longest serving Canadian Angus Presidents was J.D. McGregor, farmed just south of Brandon Manitoba 1911-1920.
The head office did not remain in Winnipeg. It moved to Brandon,Manitoba in 1911, to Calgary in 1947, then to Guelph in 1964,to Regina in 1988 and Back to Calgary in 1995.
Manitoba played very important part of forming and operating the Canadian Angus Association at the beginning.
We are bringing the CAA Annual Meeting back to Winnipeg in June 2025. Watch for more details.
NEW JUNIOR REP on CANADIAN JUNIOR ANGUS BOARD
Hello everyone! This has been a busy but enjoyable summer for Manitoba Juniors! Beginning in July we had our Manitoba Junior Angus Summer GOLD Show Harding, Manitoba. Soon after was the Canadian Junior Angus Showdown in Grassie, Ontario from July 18th to the 20th. Manitoba Juniors were represented throughout the weekend in many different events which is very exciting! I was fortunate enough to attend as the director for Manitoba for the first time, which was very, very exciting. I was able to bring cattle and it is safe to say it was a fantastic experience. I loved participating and meeting all of the awesome Juniors that attended. I can’t wait to see you all next year for Showdown in Stettler, AB from July 24th to the 26th!
On August long weekend, Manitoba Youth Beef Round Up, an All-breeds show in Neepawa, MB had quite a few Angus juniors represented, and the Champion Female was an Angus female. Looking into the fall, Manitoba AgEx will be happening in Brandon, MB from October 23rd to the 26th. I also hope to have some Manitoba Junior members participate in Agribition in November!
As for me, I am back at Oklahoma State University for my sophomore year studying Animal Science. Here I am also fortunate enough to work at the OSU Purebred Beef Center as well as with Express Ranches, both places where high quality Angus cattle are produced and sold, so I am getting to experience the Angus breed on an international scale! Finally, don’t forget to mark your calendars for the GOAL conference happening February 15th – 17th, 2025 in Saskatoon, SK!
I hope you all have a great fall, and I can’t wait to see you!
All the best, Emma Fox

17th Annual Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup 2024
The 17th Annual Manitoba Youth Beef Round-Up was held August 2- 4, at Stride Exhibition Place in Neepawa. This may be the Best Manitoba Youth Beef Round-Up ever held, with a record number of enthusiastic Junior Cattle Producers and the largest number of Cattle to date .
Over 100 youth and 115 head of cattle gathered for an educational and fun weekend. This event draws youth aged 6 – 25 from Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Committee members consist of: Co-Chairs Lois McRae, Jake Rawluk & Laura Horner; Emma Harms, Ken & Kerri Hinsburg; Rilla Hunter, Megan Kemp, Samantha Korosil, Lana Krauss, Mary-Jane Orr, Albert & Michelle Rimke, Dalyse Robertson, Alice Rooke, Blair McRae, Kara Thompson, and Bobbi Jo Foster. The success of this event is attributed to not only the teamwork of the committee members but also the hands-on assistance of parent volunteers, jumping in whenever and wherever necessary. Our judges for the weekend were Justin Harcourt, Quill Lake, SK and Mason Beck, Lang, SK. Friday events kicked off with the ever-popular Ag Challenge. Members are grouped into teams of all ages and sent on a scavenger hunt for various items. Educational workshops included learning how to wash and care for the animal’s hair and grooming, herd health with Dr. Liz Ostendorf (Neepawa Vet Clinic), making a herd health plan, record keeping, and verifying the beef program, health and medicine, mock interviews, branding yourself, filling out applications, and essential HR guides. Juniors finished off the hot day with the popular slip-and-slide.
Saturday began bright and early with judging workshops facilitated by Justin and Mason.
Senior members were then required to judge heifers, steers, sheep, hay, and a scenario class, filling out a judging card for each and providing oral reasons for the cattle, sheep, and scenario classes. Intermediates provided oral reasons for the heifer & sheep class and written reasons for the others. Juniors provided written reasons for all and oral reasons for the heifer class.
Pee-wee members and new juniors were involved in a unique Cattle Camp where they learned how to judge in a more appropriate setting, as well as making & tying rope halters. After lunch, Cattle Camp members worked on grooming and showmanship while everyone else participated in team grooming, team judging, and sales talks.
The evening concluded with group members competing in the cook-off, where each group was provided with a steak and was required to prepare a meal for two discerning judges’ evaluation. Our judges were treated to feasts worthy of kings & queens! Steak Judges were Cam and Tracy Wood, Albert Rimke, Phil Reimer (Bullseye), Devin Boitson (Boehringer), and Wade Beck. Sunday is show day. It begins with showmanship, followed by the conformation show, a parade of 4-H Champions, and the Supreme Show. The weekend concludes with awards and supper. A large crowd attended the weekend events.

The Canadian Cattle Young Leaders (CCYL) program is a national initiative that provides individuals aged 18 -35 the opportunity o f a year-long mentorship and access to learning experiences. The initial stage of this competition is a written component submitted in March where each candidate expresses their area of interest and background in the Canadian cattle industry. From this point 2 4 semi-finalists are selected to compete in a rapid fire, round -table discussion session. They are judged on their knowledge of th e industry, ability to lead and direct conversations along with their ideas and initiatives towards current day issues.
I am both honored and grateful to have received one of the final sixteen spots in the CCYL program alongside peers from acros s the country. While I have not yet found out who my mentor will be in the program, my goals are to learn more about the synergies between cattle and grain systems including forage agronomy and annual forage crop rotation, business strategizing for diverse enterprises as well as general leadership skills. During this experience I hope to build a network of people and resources that I can utilize in the management of both my diverse family farm and independent agronomy consulting business. Thanks to platinum sponsors Cargill and McDonalds along with other foundation partners, I also will have access to a bursary to go towards travelling to meet with my mentor and any learning opportunities that will aid my goals. I am really excited for the year ahead and all the possibilities it will bring! What a fantastic industry to be in!
