missing in August, 2006. The funds generously donated<br />
by cattlemen, friends and relatives across the country<br />
were offered as a reward for tips leading to his<br />
whereabouts. After a year, a committee handling the<br />
funds made a decision to channel the money to<br />
Manitoba youth for the purpose of starting their own<br />
purebred herd.<br />
More funds were raised at auctions during a couple of<br />
Manitoba Beef Producer’s Annual Meetings 2010 & 2011<br />
making it possible to continue this worthwhile cause in<br />
his memory.<br />
Grant invested a lot of energy in actively helping youth<br />
get started in the business and this seemed the most<br />
fitting way to utilize the funds. Over 20 applicants<br />
submitted essays, making the selection exceptionally<br />
difficult. The participants were evaluated on desire, need<br />
and previous expression of interest in the industry.<br />
The Grant Moffat Herdbuilder Awards will be<br />
presented again in <strong>2013</strong>, with the application deadline<br />
being September 1st. For application and donation<br />
