Man/Sask Gelbvieh Assoc. News

Like all of you, our association has been in a holding pattern of sorts as we navigate limitations placed upon us. We thank everyone who took the time to complete the online survey that was sent out early this summer. The information we gathered has been very helpful as we work to create marketing opportunities for all Gelbvieh producers.

Unfortunately the cancellations of Brandon AgEx and Agribition mean no live shows this fall. We are very excited to work with the other Canadian Gelbvieh boards to support the Agribition Evolution Series. This event is the first of its kind in Canada and will present an exciting marketing opportunity for Canadian cattle in all breeds. Complete details are in this edition of the Gelbvieh Guide and we look forward to a wide representation of our breed.
