An Invitation from CEO Bryce Schumann
Bryce Schumann
On behalf of the American Angus Association, I want to invite you to the 2010 National Angus Conference & Tour, located in the Big Sky Country of Montana. We are excited to partner with our hosts, the South Montana Angus Association, on this year's tour. We have an intriguing set of speakers for you this year, ranging from a chef to an economist. You will definitely want to mark your calendar for Sept. 15-17 to "Meet in Montana."
Angus heritage and leadership run deep in Montana. Montana Angus breeders were leaders in the performance movement several decades ago when AHIR® was in its infancy. Today Montana still leads in the volume of birth, weaning and yearling weights submitted annually. Montanans also lead in the total number of registered Angus, and last fiscal year accounted for slightly more than 10% of total registrations in the breed.
We are proud once again to partner with Purina Mills and Alpharma Animal Health on this year's event. Purina is a longtime partner of ours on this great event, and I hope you take time to visit with their staff and ours.
As you might have noticed, we didn't have this event last year due to the World Angus Forum being in Canada. We've had two years to prepare for this year's conference and tour, and it's definitely one you won't want to miss. Register today, and I look forward to seeing you all in Bozeman this fall.
