A Message from the President Hello Red Angus Enthusiasts: Welcome to our annual Kansas Red Angus Association Directory! First and foremost, I would like to thank you for taking the time to review our directory. I would also like to thank our industry allies and members for their continued support and dedication. Your commitment toward this organization and breed improvement has allowed us to increase our memberships as well as continue in the promotion of Red Angus and Red Angus influenced cattle. As you read this, things in the cattle industry are changing and are a bit different than they were just a few years ago. KRA members are working harder than ever to improve their Red Angus offerings. More importantly, they are also working SMARTER than ever to help you improve your bottom line. Genomic data, measured intakes, carcass trials, and much more are being done by our seedstock providers. In addition to this, commercial members have access to many different tags and programs that can help them get extra dollars for their calves. There are several ways to learn more. The advertisers in this directory are passionate professionals who can answer questions. If you want to meet them face to face, we encourage our members, non-members and affiliates to attend the events put on by our association. Our annual Field Day takes place toward the end of summer and our FCCP (Feeder Calf Certification Program) Sales take place in the fall. Please watch for our newsletters and check out our website for upcoming events and new marketing tools for your cattle. Exciting times aren’t only around the corner for the Red Angus breed...they are here right now and we hope to have you with us. Thank You, Daniel Mushrush KRA President
AGRICULTURE i t ’ s m o r e t h a n a pa rt o f l i f e it’s a passion ∙ a lifestyle ∙ a resilient community that works hard to feed the world

KRA News and Events 2017 Field Day and Annual Meeting The Kansas Red Angus Field Day was held on Saturday, August 12, 2017 and was hosted by Kelly and Risa Overmiller and family of Overmiller Red Angus. The field day took place at their ranch located north of Smith Center, KS. The Kansas Junior Red Angus Association served a complimentary lunch to start off the day. They then had a Herdsmanship Quiz/Skillathon as well as Barnyard Olympics for the juniors in attendance. Following lunch, live entertainment was provided by longtime KRVN on air radio personaility, Dave Thorell. Members and non-members were then able to tour through the cattle and go over the ranching operation as a whole. Following the ranch tour, Gary Fike, Director of Commercial Marketing of the Red Angus Association of America, discussed various topics regarding Red Angus cattle. Shane Tiffany of Tiffany Cattle Co also gave a presentation and spoke about retaining ownership of cavles. During the KRA Annual Meeting, the board members spoke about the various promotions that they were doing, the upcoming FCCP sales and usual business pertaining to the members. After the meeting, a complimentary dinner was catered by the ranch. Overall, the event provided a great opportunity for all industry partners to network, relax and enjoy the company of other Red Angus members and nonmembers alike.
Other News KRA BOARD -- CJ Blew of Hutchinson, KS and Kelly Overmiller of Smith Center, KS were nominated to serve their second term on the board. The board members also elected Daniel to serve his second term as President of the KRA. FCCP SALES -- This past November, the Kansas Red Angus Association along with the LaCrosse Livestock Market held their annual FCCP Sale. With over 2,000 head of cattle sold, the sale turned out to be a great success. In addition to this sale, the KRA also supported two other FCCP Sales; one in Russell, KS and one in Fort Scott, KS. The need for Red Angus genetics continues to be prominent and it is great to see so many cattle men and women come together to support the Red Angus breed. For more information on these sales or to consign your cattle, please contact one of the KRA board members.
