Man/Sask Gelbvieh Assoc. News

Where has the summer gone? To many it will be one we want to soon forget, many faced dry, drought or disaster. I hope everyone has found enough feed and is not having to sell off too many from their herd.

As we prepare for the fall shows and sales, we are still dealing with ever changing Covid regulations. The National Show and Sale at Agribition will be online. Watch for more details mid November for updated Covid regulations. Please look through the Guide for information on the Sweetheart Gelbvieh Classic and the Man-Sask Donation Heifer. Thank you to RPS Gelbvieh (Ryan and Michelle Summerfeld) for donating the heifer this year. Your support is greatly appreciated.

For anyone interested in sponsoring a class at Agribition, or purchasing a Sweetheart Classic membership, please contact Cynthia Wirgau (204-886-7683) or Courtney Bentz (306-746-8034) as soon as possible. We need names and commitment but your cheques will not be cashed until closer to show date.

We appreciate the many pictures we received from 4-H members showcasing Gelbvieh influenced animals. Congratulations to all on their accomplishments. Pictures are posted on our Facebook page. Toques were mailed out for each member to all clubs. Stay tuned to Facebook for updates on Junior Gelbvieh events to be held during Agribition. For more information contact Cynthia Wirgau.

It is time to start thinking about nominations for the Purebred and Commercial Breeder of the Year Awards. Please submit your nominations to Brett Spray by OCTOBER 10.

I hope to see you down the road at a show or sale barn this fall. Let's grab a coffee or cold beverage and discuss Gelbvieh!

Tuesday November 23, 2021 at 7:00PM. We have tentatively booked the Emerald Room A in the Executive Royal Hotel, Regina, SK. This will be dependent on COVID-19 and the restrictions that may or may not be in place at the time. The meeting will also be online for those that are unable to join in person. The office will be in touch with these details. We have also reserved 20 hotel rooms at a rate of $109 per night for CGA members. 10 of these are single queen and 10 are double queen rooms. Supper will not be provided this year but there will be coffee and a snack available. This is because of the catering limitations at the hotel due to COVID-19.
