The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum’s New Bull-
Hercules!
Thanks to a few spectators at the National Hereford Show and Cowtown Regina fo r p r e s e n t i n g President Daryl Kirton with his new black cowboy hat during Agribition. With the passing of “Goody”, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum was in need of a new Hereford Bull Ambassador. SVF HERCULES 6Y, donated by Spring Valley Farms of Carleton Place, ON, joined the Museum’s team in November 2015. His half brother was the 2012 Reserve Grand Champion Bull at the Carp Fair. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians discovered the history, efficiency, and economic power of the Hereford breed in Canada by meeting Goody and Hercules will help hundreds of thousands more. Good Luck Hercules!

50-Years Bert Anderson
Executive Director Stephen Scott and CHA President Daryl Kirton present Bert Anderson and his family of Sceptre, SK with a 50 Year pin. •
At the Good As Gold Sale, Friday, December 4, Manns Herefords of Austin, MB, donated a heifer as a fundraiser. We would like to thank Roy and Sandra and Steven and Regan Manns for their generous donation. The ticket sales for the draw raised $7000 for the MHA. The winner of the draw was John Bosnjak of Little Creek Polled Herefords, Ontario, who was part of the internet sales. He requested that the heifer be put back into the sale, and that the funds raised go to the CJHA. The heifer was purchased by Don Guilford, Guilford Hereford Ranch, Clearwater, MB, for $2600. The MHA would like to extend a huge thank you to John Bosnjak for his support of the MHA and his donation to the CJHA.•
