President’s Message… Rob Smith
Hello, folks!
I was cruising the countryside yesterday, selecting our fall
show and sale animals with my nephew and just marvel and how
great everything looks. Here in the County of Mountainview in
South Central Alberta we have had plenty of moisture but the breaks
have now been long enough for people to get hay up in pretty good
shape and I'm not sure I've ever seen pastures in much better
condition. Concurrently, the cows and calves are very shiny and it
seems like this is the case for most of the province over, save for the
few areas where the July sun burned too hard. As a result, I hope
everyone is having a banner year for feed production and that your
calf crops are among your best ever.
To that end, we were discussing what we want to take to
various sales and shows this fall, with an ever-mindful eye toward
WAF 2009 at Spruce Meadows in July. Every decision we make
now and preceding discussions centre around this milestone event
and I hope you are all of a similar mindset. It is going to be so
much fun to be part of the 2009 festivities; for those of us that
weren't involved in 1985 this will be our first turn at hosting the
Angus world in Canada and those seasoned veterans who
participated in Edmonton 22 years ago, will want to 'catch
lightening in a bottle' for the second time in their Canadian Angus
lives.
Juniors
I've spent time with our Junior Angus enthusiasts this
month at the Alberta Junior Angus Show, Calgary Stampede and
Provincial 4-H Beef Heifer Show. It has been said before and it will
be said many times in the future, by myself and most everyone else,
what a great job these young rural folks do helping us promote the
Angus breed. They are so very good at it they inspire the older
generations around them to stay involved if only to secure a future
in agriculture and the cattle business for our kids. I judged the
Junior marketing at the Alberta Junior Angus Show, and was
bowled over by the confidence and intelligence of our youth as they
tried to convince me to not only purchase Angus beef, but THEIR
Angus beef. They were able to differentiate themselves from one
another in a graceful manner using ideas like purchasing from a
multi-generational family-based operation... now who can argue
with that? Hats off to our Juniors... they certainly keep us young!
Alberta Angus Leadership Retreat
The Alberta Angus Association held its annual retreat at
the Alberta 4-H Centre on Battle Lake in mid June. This year, we
invited Alberta representatives to the Canadian Angus Association,
Canadian Junior Angus Association and Canadian Red Angus
Promotional Society to attend the retreat as well and everyone felt
this was a powerful and proper addition that will continue. We have
been trying to facilitate increased communication and involvement
with all formal Angus partners, and our retreat was another big part
of that. I will let you know the outcomes of our retreat in the
following paragraphs.
Communication with Membership
When you get your renewal form for Alberta Angus
Association membership this fall, you will find a couple of added
spots for information. We will be asking you for an e-mail address
as well as your contact preference. Your AAA Board wants to
engage our membership more often and more effectively, and we
feel the best means of doing so is through e-mail 'blasts' of
information. We fully realize, however, that not everyone either has
this means of communication or prefers it, and if you would like us
to fax or mail these 'blasts', we are prepared to do so. So... please
provide us your e-mail address on your membership form, and also
let us know how you prefer to be alerted as to news and information,
by e-mail, website posting, fax or mail.
Increased involvement with Fall Sale run...
My fellow Director Bill Dietrich has further information
about this initiative elsewhere in the Angle, but I just want to let you
know the intensity of this focus for your Alberta Board. Our
objective, in the coming five years, is to have every single CACP
sale in Alberta with a hardcore Angus breeder connection and
involvement, and we will work tirelessly until this has happened.
Please 'step up' like so many in the southern part of our province
have in recent years during their Angus Advantage Week and make
these CACP sales the best possible customer appreciation
opportunity of any breed influence anywhere in Alberta.
Autumn Angus Legacy weekend: September 21 - 23, 2007
We are very excited about this upcoming event, with the
intent to make it an annual opportunity for Angus and industry
fellowship as well as a fundraising opportunity for the Alberta
Angus Association. Our plan for this fall is to put funds raised
toward next year's CAA AGM, WAF Year 2 Futurity and Alberta
Summer Gold Show (and quite possibly Showdown as well...
making this a great run up to the 2009 WAF!) at Spruce Meadows
from Thursday, July 17 to Sunday, July 20, 2008. In the long run,
the AAA Board would like to establish a Legacy Fund for special
events, projects and initiatives so that will be the primary focus. For
the next two years, however, All Roads Lead to WAF 2009 so that
will be our target.
'Royal Flush' Poker Tournament
We have determined that cash prizes will be given out in
the following manner:
5th Place - $400
4th Place - $500
3rd Place - $600
Reserve Champion - $750
Poker Champion - $1000
This means a total cash payout of $3250 for the Top 5 in the 'Royal
Flush' Poker Tournament. And remember... all you need to ante up
is a single purebred Angus embryo. If you want to be included,
please let Darren Hipkin (780/467-5954) or myself know as quickly
as you can so we can get proper signage, et al to promote your
embryo donation. We would like to know everyone who is going to
be included by September 20th if possible, earlier is better, but we
will certainly accept drop-ins and assure post-Legacy weekend
promotion of your involvement and contribution.
Golf Tournament
We have determined a tournament size of 72 golfers with a
registration fee of $150. We will have lots of prizes and draws so
please let us know as quickly as you can if you want to participate.
The form and more detailed information is found in this Angle.
Further, we need a number of sponsors for the tournament, so if you
would like to be part of this component, or know of a business or
individual that would like to support, please
let Gail Wildman (780/785-2091) know as quickly as you can.

President’s Message… Rob Smith continued
Donation Heifer and Poker-Package Embryo Auction
So how are we going to pay-out the Poker Tournament
prize money as indicated above? Welcome to the Saturday night
post-Golf tournament barbecue and party at the Olds Golf Club!
We are auctioning $10 chances on one of two heifer calves (one red
and one black) that ƇT Cattle Co. is donating. Additionally, we will
auction off the opportunity to build a package of three, four or
five from the embryos collected as buy-in to the 'Royal Flush' Poker
Tournament. We may not sell all the embryos at this Angus party
and hold some for other events (our AAA AGM in December, the
CAA AGM next July, etc.) but certainly some will sell. So please
be prepared to support this Auction on Saturday, September 22nd at
the Olds Golf Club. You could take home a veritable genetic
powerhouse of embryos as well as a sexy little Red or Black Angus
heifer calf!
WAF Year 1 Futurity and Alberta 'Summer' Gold Show
We have decided that the Red and Black Angus cattle will
show separately, so red and black heifer calves will lead off on
Saturday morning, September 22nd in the WAF Year 1 Futurity
followed by Bull calves in an alternating fashion. The Gold Show
on Sunday morning will also alternate between Black and Red cattle
and will start at 10:00 p.m., not 11:00 p.m. as previously advertised.
Entry information is elsewhere in the Angle, and please feel free to
contact Bev Kelly (403/227-5121) for more information.
2008 CAA AGM & other events - July 17-20
We selected Director Carol High as Chairman and
established a number of sub-committees to 'lead our charge' into the
Spruce Meadows activities of next summer, and are looking forward
to hosting the nation at such a premier facility. The dates are
Thursday, July 17 to Sunday, July 20, 2008 for the Canadian Angus
Association Annual General Meeting, World Angus Forum Year 2
Futurity and Alberta Summer Gold Show (with the hopes that the
Canadian Junior Angus Association annual Showdown will be there
as well). It will prove a beneficial 'dry run' for the 2009 World
Angus Forum at the same site. We will be sharing further
information about July, 2008 in the coming months.
Board Member recruitment - we need at least one more...
We are looking for at least one more Board member for our
Saturday, December 1st, 2007 AAA elections. Four Directors (Gail
Wildman, Bill Dietrich, Darren Hipkin and myself) are eligible and
willing to run again but Kent Holowath, who is completing his
second consecutive term, is not eligible so we need at least one new
face on our Board of 15. If you are interested, please let us know.
And just as an aside, the recent Alberta Angus Leadership Retreat
illustrated to us that we have not a single Director who is a 'detailsoriented' personality. So, if you are interested and are a "details"
person... all the better because it appears we not only want you... we
need you!
Closing comments
If I can ever be of any assistance to you, please contact
me at 403/507-2255. I am very proud of the direction your AAA
Board is working and I hope you all come out to the Autumn Angus
Legacy weekend September 21 - 23 in Olds to see a new event that
we are all very excited about. Further, I hope you help 'shore up'
breeder involvement in the CACP sales in your local area this fall.
See you down the road... Cheers.

ALBERTA ANGUS ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME
In order to recognize those individuals and breeding units that have made significant contributions to the Angus fraternity and industry, the
AAA Is proud to announce the third year of the Alberta Hall of Fame.
Each year, between two and three Contemporary Angus Breeders and Angus Breed Builders are inducted to the Hall of Fame at a ceremony
in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting. These two selection categories are defined as follows:
Contemporary Angus Breeders
This group is currently active and breeding/promoting Angus cattle in Alberta, and have been doing so under their current name or breeding
operation/unit for a minimum of 25 years as determined by CAA records. They must have maintained membership in the
AAA for the majority of their years as an Angus operator, including membership for the past five (5) years consecutively.
Angus Breed Builders
This group is made up of twofold Angus stakeholders:
1) Those individuals, groups or families who have had tremendous impact on the growth, promotion and development of Angus cattle in
Alberta, but have not necessarily ever been an active breeder themselves. Examples of this type of inductee would be
magazine publishers, sales managers, breed employees, stud stations.
2) Those individuals, groups, businesses or breeding operations/units that made a truly significant contribution to the breed and Association
while they were active, even though they are not now and maybe have not been for some time.
The Contemporary Angus Breeder(s) and the Angus Breed Builder(s) will be honoured each year at the AAA banquet following the AGM.
Final inductees will be determined by the Hall of Fame Selection Committee. There are never more than three inductees each
year. The Selection Committee is not comprised of Angus breeders, but external industry stakeholders who determine the Hall of Fame
worthiness of the applications put forward on behalf of the nominees. Subsequently, completeness and quality of the
application is very important.
Nominations will be accepted from the general membership until Sunday, September 30th, 2007. Please submit all nominations to
Secretary/Treasurer Val Buttimer or President Rob Smith. Nominations must included all information found on the next
page.
The Hall of Fame inductions will be held Saturday, December 1st, 2007 at the AAA “Hall of Fame Banquet”. AGM details to tba.
Photographs of the inductees will reside on a wall the Canadian Angus Association office. Plaques listing the inductees will also be
found in the foyer of the CAA office.

Gold Show Program
For almost 20 years, the Canadian Angus Association has sponsored the Gold Show Program, with the main objective being to encourage
breeders to move between regions to show cattle. At the end of the year a show bull and show female of the year are designated based on the
number of points awarded at the three best shows across Canada that the animal participated in. For specific details look on pages 83-85 of
your new member handbook. Regions can collect grants for up to $4,000 per year based on the number of registered animals exhibited in the
region’s two gold shows. There is no grant and no points given for unregistered animals. In fact, regions are encouraged to NOT allow
unregistered animals to show. This would seem to be reasonable because why would anyone want to exhibit an unregistered animal? Alberta
has not enforced this requirement as diligently as other provinces and the omission has resulted in frustration for the organizing committee
and confusion in tabulating results. Because no grant is paid for animals without a registration number, there could also be lost revenue to the
provincial associations. Show people are encouraged to identify your show animals and be sure to have your registration application in long
before you start out on the road.

Commercial Development…Bill Dietrich
Many of you are aware of a very successful Angus Advantage Week that has been ongoing in Southern Alberta for many years. My
hats off to the Southern Angus Club and fellow breeders in that part of the province who organize and sponsor an event where at five fall
angus calf sales they provide a meal and hospitality to commercial breeders, buyers, auction mart staff and everyone in attendance to promote
our great Angus breed.
As chairman of the AAA commercial development committee and an Angus breeder I think it is time we take a page from their book
and implement an event of this nature in the Central part of Alberta. In discussion with other AAA directors we would like to propose that
we provide a steak lunch at three CACP fall calf sales this year. If we deem this a success we will add more sales next year. Several packers
are looking to source Angus tagged and age-verified (The CAA will do this for you free of charge if they are Angus tagged)cattle and
although nobody can guarantee a premium for these cattle , in situations where quality, proper fleshing, etc. is all in order premium prices are
becoming a common reality. As Angus breeders we need to promote Angus tags, age verify, CACP sales with our commercial bull
customers to help them reap these rewards and at the same time keep our Angus breed strong. When you become involved as a breeder you
promote Angus and will have an opportunity to be there the day your commercial customers market their years production.
We will need thirty plus breeders from Central Alberta to sponsor $250.00/each to make this work. If you become a sponsor we will
need someone from your farm or ranch to cook steaks at one or more of these CACP sales (an excellent opportunity to mingle with
commercial customers) and you will receive advertising in the form of an ad in a booklet to be distributed at all these sales to each person
receiving a meal.
The AAA board of directors feels this is a tremendous opportunity for central Alberta Angus breeders to promote their operation. If
you would like the opportunity to become involved or need more information contact Bill Dietrich @ 780-889-2259 or email cattleboy28
@hotmail.com.
2007 Canadian Angus Certification Program Sales
Alan Deacon - Breed Development – C.A.A.
With fall approaching it is a good time to check in with your commercial customers and let them know that there will be an Angus
feeder calf sale in their area. It's also a good idea to finish that age verification on any remaining calves. Remember, any Angus
tagged calves can be age verified through the Canadian Angus office. It is recommended that you send our age verification information
several weeks ahead of your marketing date. Try to attend these upcoming sales and take the time to compliment your bull customers on
their good Angus-influenced calves.

RIVERCREST ANGUS
Submitted by Tom Spady
I would like to thank Val Buttimer for inviting me to
write up a short article of history of the Spady cattle.
The original Rivercrest Angus originated from
Valleymere Angus which was the herd founded by my late Dad,
Jack Spady. Valleymere is where the story of the Spady families
had it’s beginning. Along with Rivercrest. there is Valleymere
HPS which was the herd of my brother, the late Harold Spady
which is now maintained by his wife, Verleen and sons Travis &
Brian. Their older brother, Jack works with Jiro Enterprises. Also
my brother Roger, who is a lawyer, has a small select herd of
Angus cattle as well. Youngest brother Lorne, maintained a small
herd for a few years too.
My dad Jack, moved to the Alliance area in 1937 and it
was during this time that a drover appeared at our place with some
black registered cattle he wished to sell. They consisted of one
bull and two cows. Dad paid two cents a pound for these cattle. I
believed one cow weighed 1400 lbs. and the other weighed 1600
lbs. and the bull weighed 2400 lbs. For the next four decades, Dad
bred big, practical and functional cattle. The original cows
belonged to the Pride of Aberdeen family. I purchased a few
select females from my dad, Jack in the 1950’s, so I have been in
the purebred Angus business for over 50 years. I ran my few
select females with my fathers herd at Valleymere and for quite a
few years I used the herd initials, Valleymere TJS. In 1960, I
married my wife, Margaret, and in 1963 decided we would use the
herd name, “Rivercrest”, since we lived close to the Battle River.
Our two daughters, Debby and Sherri arrived in 1961 and 1962
and in 1968, Craig was born. The kids were active in 4-H and
showed at the Bashaw Heifer show for several years. Craig also
runs a purebred Angus herd under the Rivercrest name as well. I
served a a Director of the Alberta Angus Association for one term
quite a awhile back.
The fourth generation, which is Cody Innocent, our
grandson, has a small select Angus herd which was started by a
heifer given to him for a 4-H project by “Grandpa Tom”.
During the 70’s, Spady Ranches held production sales in
the fall at Rivercrest Ranch and a strong set of bulls have been
taken to the Calgary Bull Sale for a number of years. The
influence of cattle that went through those fall production sales,
resulted in the Champion Bull and Female at Agribition. The last
four years, myself and Craig have had our own bull sale at the
Killam Auction Mart and this year we are being joined by Travis
and Brian of Valleymere.
A great succession of stock bulls used on a strong cow
herd produced cattle that will never be forgotten. Cattle have been
sold to Scotland, Japan, the Argintine, Mexico, U.S.A. and
Russia. It is difficult to explain an era when black cattle seemed to
grow smaller, but my dad Jack, did not bow down to the fashion
of the time and kept breeding his kind of cattle, which we
maintain today.
In November 2006, Rivercrest decided to disperse their
mature cow herd but kept back some select heifers and their 2007
calf crop. It seemed like a good time to start slowing down. It was
a tough decision, but those who bought cattle gained a top group
of cattle at a very modest price. My son Craig and his wife Jody
and kids plan to eventually maintain a smaller herd of 60.
We feel Jack Spady improved the breed and we aim to maintain
that in the future.
I must close by saying there is nothing more rewarding than
getting on my horse and going for a ride through our Battle River hills
and seeing a select herd of black cattle grazing.

ALBERTA JUNIOR ANGUS ASSOCIATION
As the newly elected AJAA President, it is my privilege
to update you on the junior activities. Our show held in Olds on
July 6-8th was another huge success. We had a great turn out with
lots of first time participants. It was a fun-filled weekend with
scarecrow building contests and the famous ‘Angus Idol’
competition. The conformation classes were judged by a former
junior member, Colton Hamilton, with the winner of the owned
purebred division being Red Mtn Ash Kaptons Rebella 1S
exhibited by Jade-Ann Schneider. The commercial division
winner was Sally The Wonder Cow exhibited by Jill Davidson.
A huge thank-you goes out to our three major sponsors,
Alberta Angus Association, UFA and Black Magic sale group.
Also, thanks to all the Angus breeders that make our show
possible. The support we receive is greatly appreciated. The
parents who donate their time at the show and help out cannot be
thanked enough as well.
This year we had about 80 members at the time of the
show. If you aren’t a member of the Alberta Junior Angus and
would like to be, it is only ten dollars and you can contact any of
the board members to join.
The Alberta Angus Association is looking for Alberta
juniors who are available Saturday, September 22nd in Olds to
look after cattle while breeders attend the golf tournament at the
WAF futurity. If you are interested and available, please contact
myself at 403-507-9142 or Amanda High at 403-553-3524. Have
a great summer and see you next year at the show!

Hi, my name is Ricki Fleming. I am 20years old, currently
working on our family farm at Granum, Alberta. We are located one
hour south of Calgary along the picturesque Porcupine Hills. We run a
mixed grain operation and run 100 head of registered Black Angus
cows as well as a commercial herd. I am an active partner in all
segments of Fleming Stock Farms.
I have recently graduated from Lethbridge Community College
with a diploma in Agriculture Technology – Animal Science.
I have been involved with the cattle industry all my life and it is a
passion of mine. I encourage youth with a passion for agriculture to
stay actively involved in the industry. Follow your dreams, if you
enjoy what you are doing, it is never work. I strongly believe that
today’s youth are the future of tomorrow, especially in the Angus
fraternity. The development of today’s eager Angus enthusiasts is
crucial to the sustainability of the breed. Welcome their new
innovative ideas, their use of technologies, and their uplifting passion
for Angus.
I am pleased to serve as the 2007 CAA Angus Ambassador. I look
forward to representing and promoting the Canadian Angus
Foundation and the Canadian Angus Association and their programs.
Since being named the CAA Ambassador, I have attended the
Canadian National Junior Angus Heifer Show in Olds, AB July 6-8,
Showdown 2007 and the Canadian Red Angus Promotion Society’s
Tour at Howe Angus in Moose Jaw, SK July 19-21. My next venue is
Athens, Georgia for the National Junior Angus Association LEAD
(Leaders Engaged in Angus Development) Conference August 2-5.
then I’m off to have an experience of Irish hospitality from August 1118, 2007 at the World Angus Secretariat hosted by the Irish Angus
Cattle Society. After the tours and events in Ireland I head to tour
around Scotland and England. Along my journey, I am eager to meet
Angus breeders from the Purebred sector, as well as commercial cattle
producers who use our Angus genetics.
If you would like to me attend a function in your area please feel
free to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and many more
Angus enthusiasts.
See you in the fall,
Ricki Fleming

World Angus Forum Futurity
Fellow Breeders
As Chairman, along with the 2009 World Angus Forum Futurity
Committee it is our distinct pleasure to launch the “World Angus
Forum Futurities” program.
“The Canadian Angus Challenge – Where Legends Are Made”
“The Goal of the WAF Futurities” is to create awareness and
excitement for the “2009 World Angus Forum”, to engage
breeders from across Canada, to encourage breeders to exhibit
cattle at Spruce Meadows in 2009 at the World Angus Forum and
keep Angus in the forefront. Detailed information is included in
detail with the enclosed documents. As an overview the “WAF
Futurity” is a Canadian program and is open to members of the
Canadian Angus Association and the cattle participating must be
registered in the Canadian Angus Herdbook. The vision is that
“WAF Futurity” shows will be held in the Provinces or Regions
designated as British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan,
Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. The final leg of the
“2009 WAF Futurity” will crown a Red Angus and Black Angus
female and bull champion. In the years 2007 & 2008 we are
leaving it open to the Provinces or Regions to decide if they wish
to run a separate Red & Black division or a combined Red &
Black show based on numbers participating.
Futurity Plans
2007 – Heifer Calves & Bull Calves
2008 –Yearling Heifers & Yearling Bulls that were shown as
calves in the 2007 “WAF Futurity” ” in any one of the Provincial
or Regional WAF designated shows.
2009 – Two Year Old with Natural Calf at side & Two Year Old
Bulls that were shown as calves in the 2007 “WAF Futurity” in
any one of the Provincial or Regional WAF designated shows &
as yearlings in the 2008 “WAF Futurity” in any one of the
Provincial
or
Regional
WAF
designated
shows.
We now have our Provincial & Regional Chairpersons in place &
the dates are set for 2007 for the 1st leg of “The Canadian Angus
Challenge – Where Legends Are Made” . We ask that you
promote the Futurity Program in your area. The Futurity
Chairpersons will be the direct contact point and all official
communications would travel between me (Brian Geis) as
chairman of the “WAF Futurity” and the designated provincial or
regional chairpersons.
In order to make this a truly Canadian event, we encourage your
Province or Region along with your breeders to get involved and
make plans to attend the final leg of the WAF Futurity in 2009 at
Spruce Meadows.
If you have any questions please give any of us a call at anytime.
Brian Geis 780-674-4225 or email at bkgeis@telus.net

5. A “WAF Futurity” animal may only show at one futurity show
per year at any designated show. If an exhibitor breeches this rule
the animal will be eliminated from further competition.

A “WAF Futurity” animal may be sold and shown in a different
Province in 2007 & 2008 and at the World Angus Forum in 2009
under new ownership. As long as that animal was entered by the
2007 entry deadline.

the “WAF Futurity” at Spruce Meadows in “2009”.
11. In 2008 each Province or Region will designate a stand alone

ALL ROADS LEAD TO
Tips for Successful Scholarship Applications
I have asked an expert in this field to give some helpful
tips on this subject. We hope you will find it helpful. In the past,
we have noticed some trends in the applications we receive for
Angus scholarships that either render your application invalid, or
really decrease your chances of consideration. Before filling out
the scholarship application form(s), please take a few moments to
read the list below:
Applications must be legible! If the selection
committee can't read your writing... your application won't be
considered. We recommend that you type your application or do
it on the computer, however handwritten is acceptable provided it
is clear and easy to read.
Please pay attention to the stated criteria! If you don't
meet the criteria, you don't qualify for the scholarship. For
example, if you are currently in Grade 9, you are not yet eligible
to apply.
Adhere to the deadlines! Although we live in a world
where it seems that deadlines tend to be considered more often
than not as 'guidelines', there are some deadlines that truly are!
When you are applying for admission to Colleges or Universities,
you will find that the deadlines are strictly enforced.
A 'rule of thumb' is that, if you are applying for money,
you must stick to the deadline and scholarships are very much
about applying for money! Your application must be submitted or
postmarked on or before the following dates... there are no
exceptions!
Lybrook Miller Memorial Scholarship - Application deadline:
September 15th
Dorothy Banks Memorial Scholarship - Application deadline:
September 15th
Include everything that is asked for. When we ask for
pictures, please provide a recent one from either school or some
other occasion. The Dorothy Banks Memorial Scholarship
requires 3 written references, so please assure your reference
responds to the proper questions and that you have identified
whether they are a school, community or leader contact.
Use proper grammar, including spelling and
punctuation! Everyone who is applying for a scholarship is
planning to continue their education and/or training in some
developmental form. Please assure, when hoping to achieve
assistance to this end, that you do not make careless spelling and
grammatical errors in your application. We have received
applications that spelled "Angus" wrong! A proofread or having a
friend or family member edit is a quick method for avoiding this
all-too-common mistake.
Please consider your scholarship application like it is a job
application. Only those that are professional will
be considered.
DOROTHY BANKS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Dorothy Banks was a former school teacher who believed that education could be learned throughout all your life which she proved by
attending University in her eighties to learn Spanish because she was going to Argentina for the World Angus Forum. She was a great
supporter of young people and encouraged them to live life to the best that they could. Dorothy was a great
supporter of Angus cattle which she proved because she volunteered to be the Alberta Angus Association secretary for twenty-five years. In
her memory the Alberta Angus Association is sponsoring a scholarship for any Alberta youth who is pursuing post secondary education and
is open to all Alberta farm youth who have ever been involved in any activity (either 4-H or junior activities) using Angus influenced cattle.
Preference will be given to high school graduates in the year of graduation or persons already enrolled in further educational study.
