Message from the FCSF President

Welcome to the 2023 edition of the Friends of Canadian Simmental Annual Foundation Auction. On behalf of the board of directors, we're excited to be in Ancaster, Ontario for this years Foundation Auction and CSA Convention. It's thrilling to see the support for the Foundation and the Simmental breed from so many breeders, members and Simmental enthusiasts from front to back in the 2023 catalogue. Thank you so much to everyone that has stepped up and donated to this years sale. Also, a big thank you to Destiny Simmentals, the Campbell Family, for their Lot 1 bred heifer donation. Our foundation's primary role is educational scholarships, bursaries, youth development, and breed research. All youth scholarships are financed and administered by this foundation which also provides annual fundraising for YCSA at national events.

Thank you to the CSA staff, the Foundation board and all of the volunteers for making this event happen. From myself and all of the FCSF board members, thank you for participating in this years auction and we look forward to seeing you in Ontario!

On behalf of the Canadian Simmental Association, I would like to invite everyone to join us for the annual Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation Fundraiser Auction. It is exciting to have this year’s AGM events and FCSF sale in Ancaster, Ontario.

Over the years this event has grown into one on the biggest cattle fundraising events in Canada and the major fundraising event for FCSF. Thank you so much to past donators, sponsors, industry partners and everyone who has purchased items as your support has helped the FCSF build a strong foundation for the future. Each year funds raised through this sale allow the FCSF to continue the work of supporting youth, research and development in the Simmental breed.

This year we have a very exciting sale offering and want to say thanks and show appreciation to the organizing committee for putting together what is sure to be an exciting event. If you cannot be here in person, but still wish to support the FCSF then contact any of the sale consultants, an FCSF director, or watch and participate online with DLMS.

Looking forward to seeing you in Ancaster!
