Canadian Charolais Youth Association
From July 13-16, 53 youth members participated in numerous competitions, while learning new skills and perfecting the ones they had. The CCYA Conference was recently held in Olds, Alberta, in conjunction with Summer Synergy. We had youth participate from across the country, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. The show was a little smaller in numbers than some years, but the competition was just as fierce.
This year we got to experience a new competition called “Herdsmanship”, which was run with the Summer Synergy show. It included ten challenges that focused on real-life experiences that should be known on the farm.

It was so great to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and be back in the barn for an in-person event! The Alberta board put on a great show this year, and we hope to see everyone at next year’s conference, in Renfrew, Ontario.
Stay tuned for the October Charolais Banner issue for a full report on the 2021 Conference and Show.

WE’RE EXCITED TO BE PART OF THE CHAROLAIS BREED
Last fall we decided to add Charolais to our program to compliment our Red Angus and Black Angus herds. The Charolais bulls will be part of our 9th Annual Bull Sale, Friday, March 18th,
at the farm.
