Greetings from the Kentucky Angus Association and the Board of Directors.

Happy New Year from all of us at the Kentucky Angus Association. Hope this finds you and your family doing well and looking forward to what 2022 will bring. As we move into the new year it is good to reflect on the last year but never loose sight that tomorrow brings a new day with a bright beginning... you just have to make the most of it!

Spring calving season is right around the corner so make sure you start getting everything prepared for the next generation to enter the world. The spring sale season is fast approaching as well and there is sure to be genetics to move your herd forward. Be sure to mark those catalogs and get out and find what your herd needs. The 2022 Kentucky Farm Bureau Beef Expo and the Kentucky Angus Sweepstakes show and sale is in the final stages of planning. Be sure to join us the first weekend of March in Louisville for this historic event. Consignments have been coming in and there is sure to be a fantastic group of cattle there for you to select from that will work in your operation. The Kentucky Angus will also hold it’s annual meeting on Friday March 4th at the Beef Expo. If myself or any of the other officers and directors can be of assistance feel free to let us know. We’re here to help you in any way we can. Enjoy the gradually longer glimpse of daylight and stay warm. See you down the road.

Jason Crowe Kentucky Angus Association President
