Hello Juniors, Hope everyone is enjoying the great spring!

The CJAA has been busy since last fall. I would just like to thank everyone who supported our calendar project last fall. We rely on this project to help fund our activities throughout the year. During Agribition we held our annual Dutch auction on our Scholarship Donation Heifer that was graciously donated by Clay Enterprises. The lucky winner of the heifer was Castlerock Marketing, Shane & Tammy Castle & Family, Herbert, SK. Thank you to everyone who supported the donation heifer auction.

We held our 7th Annual Canadian Junior Angus GOAL Conference February 18-20 in Regina, SK. You can read a detailed report about the conference elsewhere in this newsletter. The GOAL conference is an excellent opportunity for the youth of our industry to take the steps needed to sustain the cattle industry. GOAL 2013 is going to be held in Edmonton, AB so be sure to consider attending.

The CJAA has some important dates coming up for everyone to remember. The first deadline is for the Junior Ambassador program – April 30 – I can personally say that being the Ambassador is the experience of a lifetime!

May 10 is the date to get in your application for our exchange programs with the American Junior Angus Associations. The Junior Red Angus Association hosts Round-up which is June 26 through July 1 in Florida this year. The LEAD conference organized by the National Junior Angus Association will be held in Fort Collins, Colorado August 2-5, 2012. These trips are a great opportunity for juniors to meet some new people, network with other Angus enthusiasts, learn about the American Junior Associations and travel for free! All you have to do is fill out the registration form and write

By Erika Easton

a short essay! May 15 is the date to apply for the new Dick Turner Memorial award and the next deadline to watch for is for CJAA scholarship applications which is June 15th.

The CJAA gives out three, one thousand dollar scholarships each year. This is a great way to help pay for your education! More information and application forms for all of these opportunities are a part of this newsletter and also available on the Canadian Angus web-site under the Junior section.

The next major CJAA event is Showdown 2012 which is being held July 19-21 in Lindsay, Ontario. I hope to see a lot of juniors out to the show! The early registration deadline is June 1st and the late deadline is June 20th.

The Ontario Juniors have some great fun filled activities planned for the extravaganza which will be held jointly with the Shorthorn juniors who are attending their national show at the same time and place!

I would like to thank retiring directors Emily Puch, Megan Kemp, Sean Enright and Laurie Noiseux for the time that they served on the CJAA board and wish them well in their future endeavours. I would also like to welcome the new board members that will be joining us at Showdown! They are Chad Lorenz, AB, Katie Wright, SK, Austen Anderson, MB, Michael Hargrave, ON and Blair Allnutt, QC. If you ever have any questions, ideas or concerns please do not hesitate to give your provincial or regional director a call or myself.

We would love to hear what our Juniors are wanting! Hope to see you this summer in Lindsay!!

Erika Easton, CJAA President

Provincial Reports ...

British Columbia Happy spring everyone! Calving and bull sales are well underway here in BC. The bull sales have been very successful this year, and hopefully they continue to be in the time to come.

The CJAA GOAL Conference was held in Regina this February, and once again it was a great success. I encourage any juniors in BC to attend, for it was an informative and very entertaining weekend. This summer Showdown will be held in Lindsay, Ontario, and it would be nice to see some BC Juniors make the trek across the country to attend. Finally, I encourage juniors to take advantage of other opportunities held by the CJAA, like scholarships, the summer jobs program, trips to the United States, and many others. Don’t hesitate to contact me about these opportunities.

Well that’s all for now, and I am looking forward to seeing BC Juniors down the road at bull sales and some shows this summer!

Allison Speller Alberta Greeting from Alberta! Hope everyone has had great winter months.

Back in September, we sold our donation heifer at the Black Magic Sale. The heifer was from Remitall Farms Inc. and was bought for $2000. The money raised goes toward our scholarships and other junior activities.

The AJAA board is very happy and excited that their show will once again this year be in Bashaw. It will be the 12-14 of August. The board hopes to see a bunch of new faces again this year as well as see the show grow in numbers.

We have started a Facebook group. So if you like what the Alberta Junior Angus Association does, like us. We will also be sending our newsletter out by e-news. So Page 4

I am going four American juniors that joined us for the to start off by thanking all of the juniors that I Junior Connections - Spring 2012

have met over the past three years for making my term with the Canadian Junior Angus Association such a great experience. I have been able to meet so many Angus members from across North America as well as have some great times. I would encourage any junior in the future to take the opportunity and run for the CJAA directorship. I am sad to leave my position as I will miss being part of the junior board but look forward to staying involved with the Angus industry in the future.

January started off in Manitoba with the MAA Annual meeting, where Naomi Best was elected as the junior ambassador to the board. Some juniors from Manitoba enjoyed the GOAL conference in February.

To kick off the show season the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair will be held before you get to see this newsletter. An MJAA junior show will be in conjunction with the Manitoba Gold Show, watch for details. The summer will wrap up with the Manitoba Youth Beef Round Up, which is the most exciting and fun junior show within Mantioba! Visit the MYBR facebook page for more details.

Finally I would like to say a final farewell to juniors across the prairies, and remember don’t be afraid to try new things, meet new people, and take opportunities presented to you.

Megan Kemp Ontario Ontario is the place to be 2012! Hello again from Ontario! With 2012 well underway things couldn’t be more exciting here in Ontario. Without question the hot spot for 2012 is Ontario as we play host to both the National Junior Angus Show and the National Angus Show.

The Junior Beef Expo held in London, Ontario in March saw another great turnout of Angus juniors. Megan and Justin Foubert of Sunset Acres had both the Grand and Reserve Champion Angus. We are starting to see more and more new faces in the ring but also juniors from different breeds leading an Angus animal into the ring.

New Director Profiles ...

Hello, My name is Blair Allnutt and I was recently elected to the CJAA board as the Quebec representative.

I live in the small town of Brome, about an hour outside of Montreal.

Along with the rest of my family, we raise both purebred Shorthorn and Angus.

As the Vice President, I have been an active member of the QJAA since 2007. This has provided me with many great opportunities; such as attending Showdown and meeting fellow members who share the same passion and enthusiasm for the breed as I do.

It is a tremendous honor to be part of such an elite breed, let alone be able to be part of the Canadian board of directors. I look forward to working along side my fellow directors, and meeting everyone at different shows and events! 

GOAL Report ...

The seventh Canadian Junior Angus Guiding Outstanding Angus Leaders (GOAL) Conference was held February 18-20th in Regina, Saskatchewan at the Ramada Hotel. Thirty six junior members from across Canada, and also four members from the United States, attended this informative conference. The conference is aimed at producing Angus leaders for the future. This year’s conference was themed as “Winning at the Game”. Two Saskatchewan Roughriders joined us as our first speakers on Saturday and gave very inspirational and motivational speeches. The two Riders, Stu Foord and Neal Hughes, both local Regina ‘boys’ had the message that going for your dreams and working hard can get you anywhere.

Stu had just been traded that week to the BC Lions and he was very emotional about leaving Regina. They were enjoyed by all.

That evening the Canadian Angus board of directors joined us for a delicious four course meal and a presentation from Heather Salloum from the Lieutenant Governors office on ‘Protocol Matters’. She helped participants deal with the array of glassware and utensils that were a part of the dinner, as well as provided tips on greeting people and proper etiquette in formal social situations.

The conference embraced many people who are influences within the Angus Industry, but also the cattle industry as a whole. Other speakers included Canadian Angus Association CEO Rob Smith, Junior Ambassador Austen Anderson, General Manager Michael Latimer, and Breed Development Specialist Kajal Devani. Kim McLean from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture and Lee Sinclair of Merial Canada were also presenters at the hotel. All of these speakers were informative but also interesting. This conference enabled junior members to learn about programs which the CAA have set up for the Junior members and Lee and Kim discussed on the importance of genetic testing and EPD’s. The presentations all benefitted the juniors who attended the conference.

An exciting part of the conference was being able to tour Optimum Genetics Ltd. outside of Regina on Sunday afternoon. This facility Page 14

works with producers by drawing semen, implanting embryos and doing genetic work. The tour was a great experience for all the juniors who were involved.

As well as getting to learn about Optimum Genetics Ltd., juniors were introduced to ultrasound and got to see an ultrasound demonstration by Rod Wendorf as well as try their hand at scanning an animal. On this tour juniors also learned about nutrition in a presentation from Janie Jensen of Masterfeeds. This tour of Optimum was a To wrap up the conference Monday morning great experience for junior members and it CJAA directors put on informative and entertaining workshops on the Certified allowed many questions to be asked.

Welcome to the spring of 2012, a year with highest return with the lowest cost, but there more promise and enthusiasm for agriculture are some other things we need to do to make and livestock production than we’ve seen for sure they come our way. decades… perhaps for ALL-TIME!!!

First off, pick your favorite heifer calf or And with “promise” and “enthusiasm” comes yearling heifer or cow/calf pair and take her something we haven’t experienced for a few out to shows and exhibitions. I know a lot of years… a tangible belief and even desire for people try to criticize the show ring, but this is youth to think about making the cattle industry what I know: there is no better way of getting their livelihood. It’s been a long time coming animals out into the public, and in front of both the public beef consumer as well as potential and it’s certainly a welcome condition! cattlemen. And everywhere you can’t have a From the time I was a little boy, I never show animal, make sure you are there with imagined a life when I didn’t own cows. And your brochures and Angus information and, I suspect that many of you feel the same way, mostly, YOU! Our greatest marketing resource whether you are a current CJAA member or is you… telling your stories, providing your information, and swaying the public to the a parent of one. value of Angus beef and potential cattlemen But in the past ten years, we have seen a of the positive cost/benefit of raising Angus steady continuation of the trend to older cattle. Your Associations WANTS YOU!!! farmers and ranchers. The average age of And even NEEDS YOU… to do exactly this; Canadian farmers continues to rise, with the tell your story for your story is OUR story! age of cattlemen actually skews higher than Promote your breed because it is, collectively, the average. We have not seen a substantial all of our breed. The success that you have amount of succession to younger generations as a member of your local 4-H club or at your for almost a decade while we’ve seen great Regional Angus Show is success for all of us cattlemen actually promoting to their children because we are all part of one fraternity and to find alternate vocations, businesses, the success of one helps EVERYONE out. interests and, ultimately, livelihoods.

To this end, we have created two internships this summer that will see outstanding Junior But all this is about to change.

Angus youth promoting the greatest breed We will still see a reduction in our national cow known to man to youth in schools and current herd size through the end of 2012, but then we 4-H beef project youth in Saskatchewan and will start the rebuilding phase. This time, there Alberta. I hope we can take this program will be a difference. And that difference is the national, but we first have to make sure folks buying cows are going to be younger. we have tangible, measurable success And those folks with the innovative marketing in the two provinces with the majority of concepts and adherence to all the technical Canada’s Angus cattle. Erin Toner and genetic tools at your disposal to assure Stacey Domolewski have been selected economic efficiency and maximum revenue because of their Angus background and will be younger. In many cases, they will be experience, but also because of the positive, the Generation “Y” demographic group, also enthusiastic and mature manner in which they known as the Millennial Generation or those will promote our message and spread the born after 1980. This is a generation that news of Angus success. First off, we want has been raised with a firmly entrenched them to increase the number of 4-H youth in 4-H program and, perhaps even more both Saskatchewan and Alberta who have significantly, a clearly defined Junior Angus female projects; we must have more youth program. It is our responsibility to make sure involved in the raising of our ‘factory’, or the those folks, mostly under the age of 32, will cows that produce our nation’s beef. I’ve want to invest in Angus genetics. We know always believed that the 4-H market steer this is their ‘best bet’ to accomplish the will purchase you your first vehicle, but the Page 16

cows that come from your show heifers and cow/calf pairs will pay for your education and perhaps even build you your first house (just ask CJAA President Erika Easton about that!). So Erin and Stacey will try to convince the thousands of 4-H members who show and sell steers to give the heifer project a try. When they do that, not only does the 4-H program gain and we facilitate more interest and training in cow/calf production, but you know we will benefit by the sales of sexy little heifer calves because, since more than 50% of all registered cattle in Canada are Angus, and approximately two-thirds of the national cow herd is Angus or Angus influence, chances are they WILL purchase an Angus heifer! So please join me in wishing Stacey and Erin all the success in the world because their success will most certainly spell good fortune for all of us.

Please come to the National CAA Convention in June, hosted by the Alberta Angus Association in the beautiful, friendly southern city of Lethbridge. We are trying to make the Convention more of a ‘must-attend’ event, so please come and learn, network and celebrate the success of this past year for all things Canadian Angus. And if you can’t come because of school or work, please tell your parents to come! We want to have a good time with as many as possible and everyone has something to add and benefit others.

I look forward to the later spring and summer because this is when we see our outstanding Angus youth promoting and representing.

I wish each of you all the best with your 4-H and Junior projects. Please know you have the support of the entire nation’s Angus enthusiasts behind you, and we are extraordinarily proud of you. And I will see all of you who want to participate in our national Showdown this July in Lindsay, Ontario.

Thank you very much for your hard work and dedication, and best of luck!

Cheers, Rob Smith Chief Executive Officer
