It seems to havebeen well received as it provides anopportunity for some one-on-onevisits on Association issues, as themood within the community wasdefinitely more upbeat due to thesignificant increase in commercialcattle prices. Next year we willcontinue this approach by visitingdifferent bull sales and I haveindicated that Manitoba andOntario will be on the list. The bullsale statistics should be significantlyimproved over previous years and afull report from the Banner staff isfeatured in the May banner edition.The month of June 2011 will be anoteworthy first in the 51 years ofexistence of the CCA as the AnnualGeneral Meeting (AGM) is scheduledto be held in Charlottetown, PrinceEdward Island.
