CGA OFFICE MEMO

T
he CGA will be holding the AGM on November 20 at 1:00PM. People who are at Stettler for the Wish List weekend can join there as a group. Everyone else is welcome to join via GoToWebinar. Please watch for your email for invitations closer to the event. If you have any questions feel free to contact the office. Over the course of November 20 and 21, the CGA will be releasing some Breeder’s School videos. These videos will be posted through the CGA Facebook page and will also play at Stettler during the Wish List weekend. The videos will later be posted on the CGA website. I encourage all members to watch these videos as they will include helpful tips and tricks on completing tasks in Digital Beef and educational material on topics such as EPDs. Please note the schedule of events for the Wish List weekend in this issue of the Guide. Agribition is going virtual this year! Please make sure to note the rules published in this issue of the Guide. Let’s put Gelbvieh at the forefront of everyone’s mind, both in the purebred and commercial industries. The CGA looks forward to announcing the Agribition champions during the AGM on November 20. COVID-19 has made a lot of aspects of this industry difficult in 2020 but the accessibility that a virtual event brings can benefit many members that normally wouldn’t attend Agribition in person. Getting together in person is always preferred but let’s make this opportunity a positive one by having lots of participation. The CGA will be sending out promotional drink coasters for the virtual events happening in November. We encourage you to pass these out to customers or industry relevant businesses near you. Each member will receive two coasters unless you contact the office and ask for extra. Don’t forget to keep tagging your animals with the Gelbvieh orange backed tags. We now have Z tag and Alflex brands available to accommodate everyone’s preferences. The CGA congratulates Aspen Blake on receiving the Junior Scholarship award. We wish her all the best in her future education and Gelbvieh projects. I wish everyone a successful and safe fall sale and show season.
