Saskatchewan Angus Association ~ 2025 Purebred Breeder of the Year ~ ~ Cockburn Red Angus ~ ~ Cockburn Red Angus is owned and operated by Ward and Brittany Cockburn, along with their children Cody, Lexi, Wyatt, and Harlynn. The ranch is located at Briercrest, Saskatchewan, with summer grazing on the native grasslands southwest of Moose Jaw near Old Wives Lake. The purebred herd was started in 1992 by Ward’s parents, Jim and Fay, with the first calves born in the spring of 1993. Red Angus cattle were introduced for their hardiness, strong maternal traits, longevity, and versatility in crossbreeding programs. Many of today’s most influential cow families can be traced directly back to those early cows, including the Haucks from Miss Louise Todd; the Fireflys, Queens, and Lassies from the Circle R herd of Dennis Rude; the Crestons from Howes; and later, the addition of the now-famous Cora cow family from Wilbar. Over the years, a number of influential sires have helped build the Cockburn herd. These include Red Tassel Pinnacle 203C, Red T-S Patriot 84K, Red Bar-E-L Ribeye 103R, Red SSS Breakout 114Y, Red Pie Specialist 430, and Red Duralta 167 Momentum 11H, along with home-raised continued on Page 10

Purebred Breeder of the Year . . . Campbells of Z-N Ranch— who have purchased more than 70 bulls, including at least one from each of the ranch’s 31 bull sales—are a true testament to customer trust. The continued support of fellow purebred breeders is also humbling, with oper-
bulls such as Red Cockburn Ribeye 308U, Red Cockburn Xcaliber 529X, Red Cockburn Heavy Duty 518C and Red Cockburn Assassin 624D. More recently, herd sires such as Red SSS Moon Pie 680K, Red Allison Abyss 58L, and Red Cockburn Premium 3059 have played key roles. Along with investing heavily in some of the most
Red Cockburn Hauck 63H sought-after bulls in the breed, an extensive embryo transplant program allows the Cockburn’s to continually build around their most consistent and valuable cows. Today, the operation consists of 180 purebred Red Angus cows, 40 purebred Simmentals, and approximately 160 commercial Red Angus-Simmental cross cattle. They feel it’s beneficial to be involved in both the purebred seedstock and commercial cow-calf industry, as it keeps them connected to the needs of the commercial rancher. They make a point of helping customers market heifers and take pride in the many long-standing relationships built over the years. Repeat buyers, such as the Page 10

The 2026 event will mark the 32nd sale for both programs. In addition, the Cockburns market select females in elite sales such as the Touch of Class in Saskatoon, the Angus Collection in Olds, and frozen genetics are marketed through exclusive sales such as the New Year’s Resolution Sale.
The cow herd is built around strong cow families emphasizing on sound feet and legs, udder quality, fertility, longevity, and consistency. Notable cow families include the Coras, Haucks, Fireflys, and Lassies. Their breeding goal is clear: to produce herd sires that are sound, durable, and thrive in the commercial world, offering muscle, ations such as Mar Mac Farms performance, calving ease, and do-ability successfully utilizing herd sires as well as females that stand the test of like Red Cockburn Ribeye 346U, time. Red Cockburn Simplify 1104, and Red Cockburn Advance Several bulls raised at Cockburn Red 3062. Angus have become household names in the breed. Red Cockburn Ribeye 308U was the $30,000 high-selling bull in the 2009 sale to Soo Line Cattle Co., later reselling as a two-year-old for $70,000 to Wildcat Creek Ranch. Ribeye went on to sire many influential progeny, including his most famous son, Soo Line Power Eye 161X.

power, and influential daughters. Red Cockburn Assassin 624D was the $77,500 high seller in 2017 to Brylor Ranch. He became the #1 Red Angus bull for registrations in Canada in 2019 and sired high-sellers and champions worldwide. Most recently, Red Cockburn Premium 3059 anchored the 2023–24 pen of three that swept Agribition, the Medicine Hat Pen Show, and the National Western in Denver. He went on to set a Canadian Red Angus record at $160,000, selling to Leeuwenburgh, Rohrich, and Sandhills. With semen averaging nearly $1,000 a dose, Premium has already made a major impact, with nearly 150 calves registered in Canada from his first crop. Some highlights in recent years include exhibiting the Champion Pen of three Angus Bulls at Agribition in both 2023 and 2024, the Champion Pen at the 2023 Medicine Hat All Breeds Show,

and the Champion Pen at the 2024 National Western in Denver. Cockburn genetics are finding their way into herds across Canada, the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Australia, the UK, and beyond. Red Cockburn Premium 3059

Above all, Cockburn Red Angus remains a true family ranching operation. The Cockburn children represent the sixth generation on their family’s homestead, established in 1906, and all are actively involved in the day-to-day work. The family takes pride not only in their cattle but in the connections, partnerships, and friendships built along the way. Congratulations to the Cockburn family!

Saskatchewan Angus Association Committee Reports Commercial Committee The Saskatchewan Angus commercial sponsorship program for 2024/2025 remained the same with pen shows funded at Turtleford, Swift Current, Edam, Yorkton and Agribition. SAA is excited to support these commercial pen shows in different capacities, based on the needs of the event, from sponsoring suppers to class winners. We are eager to engage with commercial producers and support them locally. At Agribition we provide Angus swag to all of the Angus exhibitors in the Commercial barn as well as connect with them at the Commercial Mixer held on the Friday night.
We want to once again congratulate our 2024 Commercial Producer of the Year - K3 Ranch, the Klassen Brothers and are pleased to announce that Artesian Angus Farms is our 2025 Commercial Producer of the Year. They were selected at our fall board meeting and will be presented with their award at Agribition which includes a gate sign, Angus RFID tags and hospitality at the show - you can also watch for a feature on them in the Spring edition of our Angus Edge newsletter. If you know someone that is deserving of this award, make sure you nominate them for next year – the deadline is August 15.
We are also continuing with our three $1000 cash prize draws that our commercial producers can win if they purchase a bull from an SAA member this year and have it transferred by November 15. This a great way to win some of their purchase of the bull back! Congratulations to our 2024 winners Jason Boyanski, Brett Robertson & Jacquie Van Nest, and Reg Fitzpatrick. All of them are $1000 richer because they supported SAA members!
We are excited to introduce our new Saskatchewan Angus Ambassador, Gord Roger. He will be at upcoming producer events to answer any questions and to represent the Saskatchewan Angus Association. (read more about Gord on

Something that is always evident every time I talk to a member in the province, is that you can bet they have read the latest issue of The Angus Edge. This continues to be a valuable resource for Angus breeders and customers in Saskatchewan. While Canada Post has certainly made things challenging to plan around a mail strike whether this is sales catalogues or the Edge, we once again have seen a lot of interest in our association’s publication. If you would like to see specific topics covered in the Edge we are always looking for article ideas! In addition to the Edge we also advertise in the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Beef Business magazine twice a year, promoting bull sales and our events in the spring and feeder sales in the fall.
Hey you! Have you had a chance to read all of the Saskatchewan Angus Director’s biographies on Facebook or Instagram?!? If not, stop reading this and make sure you are following us at Saskatchewan Angus Association on Facebook or @saskatchewanangus on Instagram right now to make sure you don’t miss anything!

Over the past year the committee spent some time developing a plan for our social media and member engagement. As a Board we reviewed several proposals from social media companies and determined that we would focus some administrative support on our social feeds.

Presented at the Annual General Meeting - October 17, 2025 Mentorship & Member Engagement Committee Mentorship and Education Parts of our strategic plan are to strengthen youth involvement in the industry and to enhance knowledge and education in both our membership and the public. We are undertaking the following and seeking member support and involvement. We are also working collaboratively with the Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) folks, school divisions and schools with these initiatives. We have generated a list of Angus producers to provide seed stock farm tours. These tours would be worked on with classroom teachers in your community as to the content of the tour of your farm. Age of the students is variable. Historically tours are 1-1.5 hours in length but can be longer if you and the school are agreeable. This spring Nu Horizon Angus hosted a grade 2/3 classroom from Balcarres Community School. They showed them the sprayer and seeder and how they are used. Then they let them bottle feed twin calves; instructed the students about tagging, branding and medications; explained the maternity pen and calving and colostrum; explained the difference between heifers, bulls, steers and breeds. They fed them home grown burgers for lunch and then took them to a goat and bee farm to see what life is like there. Northern View Angus hosted a grade 5/6 classroom from North Valley Elementary School in Neudorf. We discussed and demonstrated how we produce seed stock and respectfully raise cattle to produce food and all the biproducts. Basically, we presented everything we do from AI’ing and the beginning of bovine life to the end products from cattle. We toured our local abattoir to see the processing aspect of beef and our neighbors farm where they have sheep, goats and chickens and we also learned a great deal about the food and such we get from those critters too. Students and teachers were engaged and commented on the amount they learned during the presentations. It was a very enjoyable day for us to host this tour. I am personally going to work with AITC instructors to go into one or two classrooms this year to support the learning and promotion of Agriculture with children in our area. It is the hope of the AITC folks that this starts in December or so. At local fall and spring fairs AITC has beef displays/presentations for class tours which target grades 4 and 7. Each class comes by the display for about 10-15 minutes. Depending on the fair, a cow calf pair is provided. AITC provides a script for you to speak to regarding the type of cattle you would be presenting on. However, bringing your own props and speaking points enhances this experience. I was able to participate Angus Edge - Fall 2025
in the Ag Tech Expo in Yorkton in the spring and we are committed to presenting again next month at Harvest Showdown in Yorkton on cow calf production. Mrs. Deb Doetzel, Nu Horizon Angus did a fantastic job at the cow/calf presentation last November. Thanks, Deb, for your dedication. AITC may require more presenters for other fairs in the future - if you would be willing to present at one of the AITC beef displays in your area or if you are interested in doing a joint presentation at a local school, please contact me to be added to our lists. We are continuing with “Tag Along Tuesday” at Agribition again this year. In 2023 we had the inaugural event with 10 youth and breeders. In 2024 we were able to more than double participation with 25 youth and 22 breeders. We solicited and received feedback, we listened and learned how to hopefully enhance this experience for 2025. Tuesday is a day with a variety of activities; cattle and people should be settled in, but lots needs to be done. Our plan is to once again reach out to 4H and Junior members throughout the province to get youth aged 12 and older who are interested in learning about what all goes on at an event like Agribition in the Angus/Commercial barns/Yards. The youth would be self reliant and eager to participate in all that the Angus breeder does for the day with their string of cattle. We will need breeders/exhibitors to act as mentors. Mentors would be asked to share their knowledge with the youth member throughout the day. A member of the Saskatchewan Angus Board of Directors would meet and bring the youth to the breeder’s stall in the show barn or the yards and make introductions. Youth will stay with their assigned breeder for the morning, then we meet for lunch at the Saskatchewan Angus booth and each youth rotates to a new assigned breeder mentor for the afternoon. We will also provide each breeder with a list of topics they may want to share with the youth as well as activities throughout Agribition that you may be able to take your protégé to get the full Agribition experience. The list we give to the breeders is merely an idea starter and is no way meant to be prescriptive. Youth are asked to be present by no later than 8 am and then stay until tie out is completed and stalls redone. There is no cost to breeders or youth for this project and Saskatchewan Angus provides gate admission for the youth participant and the adult they come with. Breeder Sessions On Sunday, April 27, 2025, we hosted our spring board meeting at the Swift Current Museum. Following the meeting we had a breeder information session. We had a modest but enthusiastic group of producers attend. The first session was with Nikki Henderson from the Livestock Services of Saskatchewan, LSS. Nikki was very knowledgeable in the new cattle transport regulations for interprovincial and interPage 13

Mentorship and Member Engagement Update Since my May report it has been an interesting summer and fall for sure. As always, the weather and ag in general is not for the faint of heart. Moisture, temperature, forest fire smoke (which I never remember having any of growing up) hail, wind… all tend to be topics of conversation no matter where you are. In our world our hay crops missed out on the May rains and consequently were poor. Many reports were an over all yield of a bale an acre or less. The shining star of the forages is the greenfeed and silage. The rains and temperatures were solid enough to help many producers round up adequate feed for the winter. August and September rains have certainly added to the relief for us cattle folks. Our regrowth on greenfeed and grass have certainly provided some very much needed fall grazing. What would we talk about if the weather was always perfect? Part of our mandate, as established in our strategic plan is to strengthen youth involvement in our industry and to educate and enhance knowledge in both our membership and the public. Here are some of the things we are doing to help achieve those objectives, working collaboratively with the Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) folks, school divisions and schools. This spring Nu Horizon Angus hosted a grade 2/3 classroom from Balcarres Community School. They showed them the sprayer and seeder and how they are used. Then they let them bottle feed twin calves; instructed the students about tagging, branding and medications; explained the maternity pen and calving and colostrum; explained the difference between heifers, bulls, steers and breeds.

all the biproducts. Basically, we presented everything we do from AI’ing and the beginning of bovine life to the end products from cattle. We toured our local abattoir to see the processing aspect of beef and our neighbors farm where they have sheep, goats and chickens and we also learned a great deal about the food and such we get from those critters too. Students and teachers were engaged and commented on the amount they learned during the presentations. It was a very enjoyable day for us to host this tour. Other farms throughout the province are on the radar with the AITC folks. There have been discussions with farms and their local schools. I am truly hoping to have more tours to report on next spring. There are fall fairs happening again this year and we are also working at coordinating educational support for schools at these fairs. If your local fair, like Harvest Showdown in Yorkton, is looking for presenters, please feel free to reach out to me to help connect with someone in your area to help out. It would be really cool to have Angus folks presenting and supporting fall events throughout the entire province. Tag Along Tuesday is a project we have been working on now for two years at Agribition. It is an initiative which has gained a lot of attention from 4H clubs and exhibitors alike. In year one we have 10 juniors participating and in year two we had 25 juniors involved and 23 exhibitors. It is my hope that we can grown this project for a third year. Please let me know if you are interested in participating as an Agribition exhibitor or a 4H club.

Lessons from a Generational Business
Agriculture is rich in tradition and is home to many generational family operations. The long hours, invisible sacrifices, and historical ups and downs have shaped these family businesses, stemming from those who had a vision. Recently, I listened to a podcast featuring Ryan Vaughan, CEO of Anderson Bean Boots, part of the Rio of Mercedes company—a legacy in cowboy boot making in Texas since 1853. Vaughan has taken on the responsibility of carrying on the tradition of this evolving business, embracing generational change. Many of the insights he shared can also apply to generational cattle operations in the Canadian beef cattle industry. Here is a summary of some of the advice he offered: Respecting the Sacrifices Every generational business begins with sacrifice. For the family members of the Rio of Mercedes brand, booming sales of cowboy boots was not always constant. “All family members had a role over the years, and today,” says the CEO, “marketing, finances, and promotion require all hands-on deck.” Vaughan married into the family business, a situation that often occurs in many family farming operations as well. His wife recalls that early vacations were often business-related functions—just as many in our industry may blend attendance at cattle shows or sales, or herd visits with family trips. Generational businesses thrive when families recognize and respect the efforts of those who came before them. Their determination and long hours paved the way, and remembering this fosters gratitude across generations and aids in shaping the future. Page 18
Accepting Change and Growth In 2005, Anderson Bean Boots pioneered the design of the square-toed cowboy boot—a style many of us likely have in our collections. This new design created opportunities and growth for the company, but it also challenged the family operation to balance innovation with respect for tradition. “In a family business, the next generation has new ideas, yet it’s crucial to understand the foundation that was established.” Balancing honoring the past (grandpa’s ideas or legacy) with the need to evolve (future generation ideas) is a critical act for a generational business. How have ideas from the next generation been integrated into your cattle operation?
by B. Lynn Gordon Additionally, their legacy was measured not only by the products they sold but also by the relationships they built. “We don’t just make a customer; we create a fan—someone excited enough to share their experience with others.” Do your customers speak positively about your service, integrity, and products? Is your business aligned with your customers’ values and needs, or are you driving the bus and hoping customers will come on board? Tips for the Next Generation As the next generation prepares to step into leadership, encourage them to keep the following in mind: ●
Leadership in the Business In a family business, a leader isn’t always at the forefront providing direction. This boot entrepreneur described leadership as akin to that of a shepherd with a flock of sheep; sometimes the shepherd leads from the front, sometimes walks among the sheep, and sometimes pushes from behind. “A good leader learns to do all three, for your family members and your employees.” Like many successful businesses, this company has approached growth in a steady, methodical, and team-oriented manner. Sustaining a generational business isn’t about speed; it’s about putting the right people in the right positions and allowing them to thrive. What is the leadership and management style in your family business? Are you adapting your approach based on the situation?
●

●
Respect the foundation. Understand the sacrifices and systems already in place before pushing for change. Do your homework. New ideas need research and preparation before being adopted. Refine, don’t replace. Build on what works, but don’t be afraid to make updates that keep the business relevant. Listen to customers. Your customers will signal their needs and expectations, and these signals should drive decisions across your business model. Figure out what you can be best at, even if it’s not easy.
At the end of the day, when building a family legacy what do you want your friends, family, Learning Lessons Not every lesson comes easily. At one point, customers and industry partners to remember the company grew too quickly, prioritizing vol- you by? ume over quality. It didn’t take long for them to realize customer satisfaction was slipping. They needed to remember the reason customers bought from them was the quality—all boots are handmade and have been for 160 years. They had to slow down, do things correctly, build systems that were sustainable and protect the integrity of the product. In your cattle operation, are you pushing for change too fast? Are your expectations exceeding resources or available inputs? Are you telling your story that makes your business unique? Angus Edge - Fall 2025

by Robbie Garner As many will already be aware, our past home of Angus Central has been sold and as of December 1, 2025 we will have a new home located in downtown Airdrie. Our new home is part of an attractive, well situated office condo complex. This new facility is very well equipped to handle all of our needs. With the move the Canadian Angus Association no longer has a mortgage, yet we maintain a very valuable investment that is wholly owned by our membership association. As mentioned, our possession date is December 1st. There will be some minor renovations to be completed such as fresh paint and flooring so the projected move in will be early 2026.
As we move through 2025 the excitement in the cattle industry continues. New highs in the marketplace are being set at a solid pace.

There is also funding available for one-time special events that regions may apply for above the initial grant funding. Once again National Angus Show is being held at Canadian Western Agribition.

As we look back at the last year, there were many opportunities for our Juniors: The Canadian Junior Angus GOAL Conference was held in Saskatoon in February and was a great time with some awesome speakers - there were numerous Saskatchewan members in attendance at what was the largest GOAL to date with over 80 juniors attending. Showdown was held in Stettler, AB from July 24-26. There was solid representation from Saskatchewan with lots of families bringing their own show strings. It was a super fun weekend and a great way for juniors to connect and network with fellow junior Angus members. Earlier this year we made the decision to move the Saskatchewan Junior Angus Show back to the Lloydminster Stockade Roundup. Our Junior Show is scheduled to be on Wednesday October 29 at 1 pm - thank you to everyone who sponsored at volunteered at the show. Later this fall at Canadian Western Agribition we will be having our Annual meeting for the Saskatchewan Junior Angus Association it is scheduled for Wednesday November 26 at 5 pm. If you're attending Agribition on Wednesday and are a junior, I highly recommend coming to our AGM. It’s a great way to get involved with the Association and have an idea of what is going on. If you're interested in a position on the board, please feel free to reach out to myself or any of the board members. Following that up we have a Friday funday planned. Any young juniors are encouraged to meet at the Angus booth Friday afternoon, November 28 at 3 pm for some games, treats and prizes. Friday night there is the CWA Angus All Star Sale, where Canadian
Juniors, be on the lookout for scholarship deadlines coming your way. Each year the Saskatchewan Angus Association awards two $1000 scholarships to members of the Saskatchewan Junior Angus Association. The winners are announced annually at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina - the application deadline is November 15. You can find all the information regarding these scholarships on the Saskatchewan Angus Association web page. The Canadian Angus Foundation Legacy scholarship deadline is also coming up January 5. There’s a total of $11,000 dollars awarded to five winners and it’s open to all junior members. This scholarship is presented at the Canadian Junior Angus GOAL Conference in February each year. Many more opportunities are available further into the year, please check them out on the Canadian Angus website. Looking ahead to next year's GOAL, it is going to be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba February 14-16. I highly suggest making the trip. GOAL has been an amazing experience for me and it’s a great opportunity to network and meet new people within this great breed. Take that step out of your comfort zone and attend the 2026 GOAL Conference, it is an experience you do not want to miss. Showdown 2026 will be held in Ayer’s Cliff, Quebec July 16-18 and the SJAA is providing travel bursaries to attend both GOAL and Showdown so don’t let the cost of travel hold you back! There are also national bursaries awarded by the Foundation. Check it all out on the website and watch social media for more details when they become available. I'm always looking to meet new people so don’t hesitate to come find me at the fall majors with any questions regarding the Junior Association or if you would just like to chat. Being an active member on the board is a great way to give back and I highly suggest joining. Angus Edge - Fall 2025
