My name is Megan Perih and I am a member of the CCYA National Board. The CCYA National Board held their winter meeting from January 7-9, in Saskatoon. This was a productive weekend with several updates and improvements. We reviewed all of our programs such as the Buy and Show program, the Genetics program and the Travel Opportunity Scholarship.

Our genetics program has been revamped and I highly encourage all

youth members to apply! Remember that applicants for this program will receive two straws of semen from a Charolais bull of their choosing from a selection of bulls.

Our Buy and Show program is a great opportunity that allows members to buy a purebred Charolais or Charcross heifer or steer and can receive a rebate on this animal. If you are a member and plan to buy either a heifer or steer this year, this is an awesome program to check out! The newest addition this upcoming year is called the Little Char program and will take affect at our upcoming Conference and Show in July.

This program will be for kids 5 to 7 years of age. Stay tuned for more information on this program in the coming months. You can find all of the information about these amazing opportunities on our website along with any updates!

During our meeting we also discussed the 2021 CCYA conference that was held in Olds, Alberta. We also received an update about the upcoming conference in Renfrew, Ontario. With the Ontario conference approaching, the National Board looks forward to seeing new and familiar faces there!

Happy calving!
