The Quilt Fundraiser Support the KJAA with a chance to Win The members of the Kansas Jr. Angus Association will begin selling tickets for a chance to own this beautiful quilt. Tickets are $10 each or 6 for $50 . After months of designing and late nights piecing, sewing and machine embroidering, Jennifer Rose, Twin Falls Angus, Cheney created a true work of art. The impeccably thought out design is a masterpiece that would add beauty to any Angus enthusiast's home or office. The 4.5’ x 5’ quilt would make a perfect wall hanging and features Angus bull and cow heads surrounded by pieced quilting in shades of grey, black and gold. The corner pieces feature Certified Angus Beef, AGI, the American Angus Auxiliary and the Angus Foundation. Jennifer brought quilt to the 2017 KAA annual banquet and donated it to the Kansas Angus Auxiliary’s Scholarship Auction. Much to the Rose’s surprise and delight; a group of junior Angus supporters pooled funds to purchase the quilt for $3000 then donated it the Kansas Junior Angus Association to use as a fund raiser. Thank you Jennifer and Stuart for this generous gift to the Auxiliary Scholarship Auction and to the 30 KJAA supporters that purchased the quilt.

As we move into fall, look back on the wonderful season of summer in the Angus business. Unless you calve especially late, all the gathering, sorting, working calves, synchronizing, breeding, embryo transplant and putting out to pasture are completed. Spring planting is usually done and of course many Angus people have wheat harvest to complete but Independence Day is somewhat of a time when most farm and ranch activities are finished and we can look forward to the many activities of summer. One such activity is the Juniors getting their animals prepped for county fairs, regional shows, and the National Junior Angus Convention. As your president, I was privileged to be asked to go to Des Moines, Iowa to present our own Cale Hinrichsen the Kansas Angus Association Scholarship Award. Congratulations Cale! It was great to see and visit with a few Kansas Angus members and the Juniors regained the “Sweepstakes Award.” Congratulations to all the juniors that competed and contributed to the award!
After our great experience at the National Junior Angus Show, Anita and I continued east, we headed on the Harley to the New England States with a three day stay in Boston as the highlight of the trip. Walking the Freedom Trail was a special treat as it really revives the spirit of Patriotism in one’s soul. Our forefathers had a steadfast resolve for Liberty and we should all be very thankful for their pledge of loyalty to each other. The point I would like to make is: TAKE A LITTLE TIME FOR VACATION, whether it be an extended trip, a few days at the lake, church camp, family reunions or whatever. Summer trips also give opportunity to stop along the way to visit customers, friends, and to also look at different programs along the way for new genetics that might make improvement in your breeding program. Now as it is time say goodbye to summer , have a great fall.

Kansas Angus Auxiliary First of all, I want to send Congratulations to all of the KJAA members, as you had a tremendous show at the 2017 National Junior Angus Show in Des Moines! It is an honor to bring home the sweepstakes title once again with the junior's hard work in and out of the show ring. I am proud of every member, but especially proud of my two junior members Kady & Chelsey. This was Chelsey's last year at NJAS as a member, but I expect to see her at many more nationals with Kady getting involved with more contests each year. As our juniors are heading back to the classroom and campus, the show season is just ramping up for many this fall. As you read this, the Kansas State Fair will be in full swing. Many more shows are just around the corner and before we know it, Thanksgiving will be here. Calving for our family will be in December and January right around Christmas, but I see many breeders are already starting their fall season. And before long, we will be looking for that next star in our herd or at the next big sale to show next year. Hope to see some of you at the National Angus Convention in November. Watch for more information about the Auxiliary breakfast and annual meeting at the convention as they crown the new Miss American Angus. Have a great fall everyone!
