Kansas Angus Association The President’s Pen

Happy New Year to All, As I'm writing this last President’s message we are in the middle of a great deep freeze. I hope everybody survived it well. The board just met in Pratt for a meeting at the Angus- influence sale. It was a great sale as were the sales at Parsons and Paola. Thank you to all of you involved with these sales.

I would like to congratulate Gordon Stucky as he will lead the American Angus Association as president in 2014. Also Lynne Hinrichsen is the new president- elect for the American Angus Auxiliary. Kansas continues to have significant influence in St. Joseph and beyond. Thank you for your time and service for us all. Last but certainly not least my gratitude goes out to Miss Esther McCabe for representing Kansas, the Angus breed and all Angus breeders so well this past year as Miss American Angus.

Plans are being made for the Futurity, annual meeting, and banquet in January. Come spend the day at the meetings and then socialize that evening with old and new friends. Then you can spend the next day supporting our young people at the junior.

Thank you for putting up with me this year, it was truly my privilege. I would also like to give a large thank you to Anne Lampe our secretary/manager, Bob Bailey our Treasurer and Matt Caldwell our regional manager. These people are a great support staff and a large reason for our success.

Notes and News from Anne A New Year

What do you do to ring in a new year? Do you gather with family and friends for a mid-night toast? Watch bowl games all day? Make resolutions and plans? Eat black-eyed peas and cabbage for luck? Whatever your tradition may be as Angus breeders, we are all eagerly awaiting a new calf crop while planning for next years and counting the days until the first blades of green grass emerge. The New Year is an opportunity to celebrate and learn from the past while embracing the future.

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. Anne

A graduate from Brigham Young University-Rexburg in Idaho, Sitz holds a degree in business and agricultural management. He has served on the Montana Angus Association and the Montana Beef Council for the Montana Stockgrowers Association. Sitz, and his wife, Tammi have four children: Amber, Ashley, Tyler and Tucker.

John Pfeiffer, Mulhall, Okla., and his wife, Gaye, have been married 32 years and have two sons. The family operates a diversified farming operation consisting of 2,200 acres of crops and pasture. Much of the wheat, alfalfa and corn go directly toward the 140 registered- and 75 commercialAngus cows. Pfeiffer has been president of the Oklahoma Angus Association, a member of the first Oklahoma Ag Leadership Program, a director for the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, and president of the Logan County Cattlemen’s Association. Kevin Yon, Ridge Spring, S.C., and his wife, Lydia, established Yon Family Farms in 1996, and the operation is now home to 700 head of Angus brood cows and 300 commercial cows. Yon has served as president of the South Carolina Angus Association and South Carolina Cattlemen’s Association, and as chairman of the South Carolina Farm Bureau Beef Advisory Committee, among other positions.
