How do we measure a year in the life?
How about doing so by the people we respect?
In 2005, we christened the Alberta Angus
Association Hall of Fame, and inducted Towaw
Cattle Co. and Belvin Angus as Contemporary
Breeders and Frank Slezina as a Breed Builder.
Last December, we inducted Mackenzie Bros. and
Dick Turner in the same category as Frank, while
Geis Angus joined the ranks of Belvin and
Towaw. With its second year complete, I think
this is a highly deserving and impressive list.
Further, we honoured the Emery’s from Camp
Creek (Dwajo Angus) as our Purebred Breeder of
the Year in 2005, and 2006 continued to validate
their selection. The 2006 honouree, the Latimer
family from Olds (Remitall Cattle Co.), had a
stellar year as Angus breeders and continue to
wave high the flag of Angus pride. We have
recognized the Birch Hills Colony up in the Peace
and now Big Coulee Ranch from the opposite end
of the province for their commitment and prowess
in building Angus’ market share and excellence in
the commercial sector. By this measure, I would
say we had a successful year.
Can we measure the year by those who help us
out?
Over this past year, your AAA Board of Directors
really gelled and ‘kicked into overtime’ their
creativity and zeal to volunteer for the betterment
of our breed and breeders. Darren continues to
lead our charge with new ideas and putting his
%$*& on the line all the time. Gail and Colton
add their measured and wise input to solidify the
plans and assure level-headedness prevails. Neil
and Dwayne keep us charging along by providing
input based on their years of experience and
involvement. Kent and Bill take to heart our need
to add value for commercial Angus breeders,
adding this lowest common denominator to every
discussion we have. Heather is a real doer who
takes on many diverse jobs and always comes
through. Bev has been our social director,
assuring a significant role for hospitality in our
activities, and assuring the National shows were
memorable. Carol’s commitment to youth makes
us never forget where our priority should be. Jade
keeps us all in line with her considered
summations of broad and wild ideas we throw out.
Doug Reid maintains a necessary adherence to the
‘bottom line’ and makes sure our grandiose plans
are fundable, while bringing tremendous passion
President’s Message… Rob Smith
and initiative to every discussion. Of course, Val is an
integral component of the Association, and always comes
‘loaded for bear’ with ideas, initiatives and infectious
enthusiasm. Further, she is a ‘workhorse’, and few in the
entire breed work harder to assure visibility than she.
Cecilie… what does one say about our ‘Grand Old Dam’?
I can’t even begin to start: your contribution is
unparalleled; your absence irreplaceable. Measuring on
this accord, again, it’s been a very successful year. And
with the recent new additions of Meg, Laurie and Doug… I
have all the confidence in the world that 2007 will be
another great year.
How about measuring by recognizing our customers?
AAA tried over the past year to call greater attention to the
sellers of Angus calves and the Colonels who sell them.
The Auction Mart sign initiative was proposed at one of
our early 2006 meetings, and, while a pretty simple idea,
just caught fire. We plan to expand this program in 2007
to see every agricultural or recreational facility that is
populated by cattle producers in rural Alberta adorned with
one of those familiar green Angus tag signs. We are
continuing our work with the CAA to enhance the ‘pat on
the back’ we owe all of those who sell Angus or Angus
cross calves in Alberta. Our radio ads got even more
positive comments back to Directors than in previous
years. Maybe more than ever, we can measure the year
successfully by our customer base.
Can we measure our year by money?
We all know that ‘money can’t buy happiness’, or that
measuring anything by financial gain alone is a pretty
superficial, maybe even empty approach. However, as
members of the AAA Board we are charged to protect your
investment in the Association and create value for you as
members. In 2006, I think we did pretty well. When you
look at the ‘bottom line’ of our fundraising initiatives, we
raised more money this year than the Association has in a
long while. As the year progressed, our brainstorming kept
leading to more ideas that cost money, and that made Doug
and Val’s life a little hairy toward year-end, but I feel
pretty confident in our fundraising efforts and stewardship
over the financial health of the organization. Measuring on
this account, it was a successful year.
Of course, the increase in Alberta Angus breeder’s
registration and transfer activity is responsible for a goodly
portion of our increased revenue, but if we measure 2006
in this regard, how can we perceive anything but success?
With more activity from the membership, that means more
sales and associated commercial activity. I wrote this in
my first column in the Angus World back in January… it is
continued…

President’s Message… Rob Smith continued
a great time to be an Angus Breeder!
Can we measure ourselves by our future?
Of course, this means by our youth: our
investment in them and our return on that
investment? If we do, again, we had a great year.
The single most significant expense the AAA has
in each year is 4-H and Youth projects. Although
there has been skepticism by some about this
financial commitment in the past, there is no
question: this AAA Board is 100% committed to
our Junior Angus enthusiasts. When you see the
Board of the Alberta Junior Angus Association
organizing their annual July show, you measure
success. When you see our Angus kids rocking
the rural world with their leadership and
communication skills and total dynamic
personalities… you measure success. It’s been
said before countless times, and it can never be
said enough: our youth are our future. Measuring
the past year by this, again… we can feel highly
successful.
How about measuring the year based on new
initiatives, ideas and team building?
2007 Board of Directors
The AAA Board decided in 2006 to start formally
developing our Board to facilitate teamwork, build better
programs and make more effective our Board governance.
To this end, we held our first Board Development Retreat
and everyone felt energized and positive and wholly
charged by this experience. It was like that break between
boxing rounds except your Board, as the prizefighter,
wasn’t just taking advice but sharing it. After that June
session, we ‘came out swinging’ and guarantee to retain
that momentum as we move into 2007 and build over the
next few years. Remember, “All Roads Lead to the 2009
World Angus Forum”.
Of course, at the end of the day, maybe the most
appropriate way to measure a year in the life is by the plans
and goals you have for the next year. If that is the case,
then 2006 was a very successful year for the Alberta Angus
Association, because we plan on 2007 to be better! Thank
you for your support, your trust & your membership!
Finally, many thanks for your attendance and involvement.
There is no better world than our Angus World! I hope
your calving season goes well, and your bull sales
unparalleled and unprecedented. Please accept my best
wishes to you for Peace and Prosperity throughout 2007!

LAURIE HUNTER
I would like to express my thanks for having the
opportunity to serve as Director for the Alberta
Angus Association.
I hail from Didsbury, Alberta. Together with my
husband Ron, and sons Jared, Ryan and Travis,
we have operated Lauron Red Angus since 1984.
Our herd is now comprised of about 120 purebred
and 40 commercial Angus cattle. I established my
Angus roots early growing up near Cremona
where my parents Fred and Doreen Allen operate
Alalta Acres Red Angus. In addition to farming
duties, I serve as Secretary for Foothills Red
Angus Breeders bull sale. Over the years I have
been involved with our local 4H club, the last five
years as a leader. Prior to having our family, I
taught Kindergarten and continue to substitute
teach.
MEGHAN JENKINS
Hi, I am Meghan Jenkins and I am pleased to be
serving as a director of the Alberta Angus
Association. More people may recognize me as
Meghan King, daughter of Jim and Laurel King of
Chickadee Farm. I have been involved in the
cattle industry most of my life; initially my family
owned polled Herefords and for the last fourteen
years we have had Red Angus (a very positive
switch, I know). I was involved in the junior
programs of both the Hereford and Angus breeds,
and served on the board of the Canadian Junior
Hereford Association.
Having now seen the light and switched
completely to Angus I work with my dad to run
our small purebred operation. The differences I
have seen in the management requirements of
Angus cattle versus other breeds have made me a
true Angus convert. We presently run about 110
females at Chickadee Farm here in Innisfail. We
attempt to attend a few shows and sales each year,
and are hoping to do more of this in the coming
years. I currently work off farm as an
environmental consultant, and am very interested
in the topic of sustainability in agriculture. I have
a science degree in environmental management;
and will be beginning my master’s degree in the
New Year (in my spare time).
New Directors… Welcome!!
I am a true believer that Angus cattle are the most
influential breed in the cattle industry today, I am proud to
be a part of it. I am excited to start my work with the board
and I encourage anyone to contact me with your questions,
concerns or suggestions on how to make our breed even
better.
DOUG NEWTON
Hello fellow Angus breeders. My name is Doug Newton
and along with my wife, Wendy operate Heart Bar Cattle
at Crossfield. Although we have had a commercial herd
since the 1980’s, we began our purebred Angus journey in
1998 with the purchase of 2 red Angus heifer calves at Red
Round Up for our children, Cassandra and Tyler to use in
4-H. Over the years, our purebred herd has grown to 50+
with both red and black Angus. Wendy and I have just
recently retired from our full time jobs in Calgary to focus
on improving our purebred herd. We are looking forward
to the upcoming calving season, the summer and fall
showing season and the fall sale opportunities. I look
forward to meeting other breeders at the upcoming Angus
events and to work with the other Alberta Angus board
members for the continued success of our breed. I look
forward to sharing ideas to promote Angus cattle and
meeting fellow breed enthusiasts.

membership fees. Just because you pay to one Association
does not mean that you are paid up for the other. The
Alberta membership fees for 2007 are now due. They are

Big Coulee Ranch. As the winds blows threw the
5000 acres of native grasses in southern Alberta,
along the Porcupine Hills, this is where the
commercial herd of the Big Coulee Ranch, home
to Bob and Gail Gatto and family is situated.
18 years ago, we started working for Philip Kaiser
and family. At that time they ran a purebred herd
of Gelbvieh cattle of about 150 head and a
commercial herd of around 100. A decision was
made to start running red Angus bulls and we
successfully did this for about 4 or 5 years,
keeping replacement heifers from this cross to put
back in the herd.
After the death of Philip’s dad, we were given
permission to run the herd, as we felt best. It was
then that we decided to convert to Black Angus
purebred bulls, buying them from various
Southern Alberta Breeders. We have kept this
program running since that time.
The Granum fire of 1997 changed the herd to an
all commercial herd because of the loss of 80% of
the purebred cattle. We still run a few of the
purebreds and this cross has given us a good calf
every year. Our long term plan is to eventually
run a commercial all Black Angus herd with
around 400 head.
As stated before we have about 5000 acres in total
with about 300 acres of hay land. Pasture rotation
L to R: President Rob Smith presenting
Award to Gail & Bob Gatto
Commercial Breeder of the Year
is big on our list to keep the native grasses growing. We go
into our winter pasture in about the first of December and
do little feeding until the herd comes home about mid
March. The heifers start calving about the first of February
and we use a large Quonset and the arena to calf in. Once
the heifers have calved they are moved into a pasture that
we can look out into from our front room window and can
keep a close watch over. The cows calve out on a quarter
section hillside behind the arena. Once they have calved,
the calves are tagged; recorded and moved south to a large
pasture of rolling hills in which shelters are put out to
protect the babies from spring storms.
With the passing of Philip Kaiser, we hope to continue on
with his dream of running a commercial herd in the
foothills of Southern Alberta. This is done with the help of
our daughter Raylynn; her husband Cody and grandson
Justin Draper. Our hope is to keep the ranch running as a
family enterprise for many years to come.

Ed Boake Memorial Award
Alberta Angus Association Purebred Breeder of the Year
Remitall Cattle Co.
Remitall Cattle Co. is owned and operated by the
Latimer families of Olds, AB and their partners,
William & Jackie Adair of Como, Minnesota.
Remitall was founded by Louis and Jean Latimer
in 1945. The name Remitall, as I suspect you all
know, is L. Latimer spelled backwards. Although
now semi-retired, Louis and Jean are still actively
involved in Remitall Cattle Co.
Remitall’s main operations and programming
have continued on into the next generations of
Latimers with sons Gary and Bryan and their
families playing the major role in development
and execution of seedstock production.
Gary and his wife Jacci have three sons involved
in the operation: Michael and his wife, Fritz and
their son Jack; Richard and Kelly and their
daughter Lauren; and Jeff and Danielle and
daughter Alix. Gary & Jacci’s youngest, Sara,
and her husband Dusty Howell have started their
own Angus herd.
Bryan and his wife Annette have three young
children, daughter Emily and sons Isaac and
Zachery.
The Remitall herd currently consists of 1000 head
of producing purebred cows, 500 of which are
Black Angus. Remitall operates from two
locations: Olds and Red Deer. Between the two
farm sites, Remitall manages a land base of nine
sections of which 3500 acres is seeded crop.
The Remitall Angus herd was actually started in
1977 with the purchase of the heifer calf
Heatherbrook Janessa 26’77 for Louis’ youngest
daughter Elaine. 26J provided 10 calves for
Remitall, including daughters with progeny still
prevalent in the herd today.
Elaine’s ELA herd of approximately 40 cows was
dispersed in 1988, and the Remitall Angus herd
continued with just a few females. It wasn’t until
the early 1990’s that the building of the Remitall
Angus herd began again in earnest. The goal
from then on was to build one of the industry’s
top working Angus cow herds. Top genetics were
and continue to be sourced from right across
North America. Today the Remitall Angus herd is one of
the largest in Canada with its 500 brood matrons. Remitall
builds its herd with a large A.I. and embryo program to
enhance and grow its genetic strength.
The Latimer’s hold an annual female sale in October and a
bull sale in March. The bull sale features over 150 quality
Angus bulls that are well documented for both
performance and carcass traits.
Remitall attends most of Canada’s major shows and has
enjoyed numerous champions at both Farm Fair
International in Edmonton and Canadian Western
Agribition in Regina. The most recent being awarded 2006
Canadian National Reserve Grand Champion Bull with
Remitall H Rachis 21R.
In their home town of Olds, the Latimer family is revered
not just for their ability to produce the highest quality
seedstock but for their outstanding performance in growing
and building the local community. They have been
involved with Minor Hockey as well as Olds Agricultural
Society, and were thusly honoured just this spring as the
inaugural Distinguished Rural Family Service Award
recipient. They are completely committed to Junior
programs, and invite our Junior Angus exhibitors to run
judging contests out at their place each year.
The Latimers are all about building – be it their cattle, their
community, or their kids! In the past 18 months, the
family has increased by 4 little babies, proving they are as
highly prolific as their awesome cow herd. With so many
toddlers running around that place, I’m sure Gary finds
himself having to cover off for the young families,
knowing that our kids are only young once.
Earlier this year, my niece toured a young man from
Ontario through the Remitall show cattle, and she came
back saying that they were bringing out two of the best
two-year-old cows she had ever laid eyes on. Of course,
one of these females was Remitall Neonia 237P, the
Reserve Grand Champion Female at our Gold Show in
Olds last August. The Neonia cow family has been
particularly successful for the Latimers in the past few
years with 237P’s dam, 42J, being named Farm Fair’s
Grand Champion Female in 2001. Another daughter of
42J, 179M, was the First Lady Classic Supreme Champion
Female at Agribition in 2003.
Another marquee female for Remitall in recent years was a
2003 purchase from the Black Magic Sale out of the
continued…

Ed Boake Memorial Award continued
Hamilton consignment. Belvin Lady Blossom
28M was Reserve Grand Champion Female two
years running at Agribition in 2004 and 2005.
They are co-owners of Justamere Cash 665P, the
Supreme Champion Bull at Farm Fair in 2005,
and have shown as many division champions as
just about anyone in the nation over the past five
years.
In a fairly quick period of time, Remitall placed
many sires in Canada’s top Angus herds, and it
seems the “who’s who” of Angus elite all run a
Remitall bull. Their commitment to value-added
seedstock production graces every calf they
produce, and the recognition for balancing
phenotype, genotype, performance and carcass
merit has shot Remitall out of the Angus cannon
and into the upper stratosphere of breeders.
From exhibiting the Grand Champion Angus
Sweepstakes Bull 10 years ago with Mountainside
Extra Classy to the 2006 Reserve National
Champion Angus Bull, Rachis, to breeding the
Reserve Grand Champion Alberta Gold Show
Female this summer, Latimers have proved their
commitment to the Angus breed and a singleminded
pursuit of excellence. They are, without a
doubt, our 2006 MVP.
In the Olds history book, published back in 1980,
the following quote appears:
A visit to the Latimer farm makes it very clear that
it is a real family enterprise, with each member
playing an important part. Mrs. Jean Latimer is
especially glad of the way farming has held the
family together and given them a sense of being
part of something really worthwhile. She also
enjoys the way that their business has brought the
world to their door and given them a chance to
see a lot of the world as well.
Here we are… 26 years later… and that quote is as
perfectly appropriate today as it was when Miss Jean said it
so long ago. It’s about family. It’s about the constant
pursuit of excellence. And, fortunately for all of us, it’s
about the community of cattlemen and women.
The Latimer family’s website says that “The ancestry
behind us tells our story. It is a treasure packed full of
information. It tells us where we came from, how we got to
this point, and why we are what we are.” We are so very
fortunate to have, as part of our Angus fraternity, from the
past, our present and into the future, Remitall Cattle Co.
and the Latimer family.
The 2006 recipient of the Alberta Angus Association ‘Ed
Boake Memorial’ Award for the Purebred Breeder of the
Year is Remitall Cattle Co.

HALL OF FAME INTRODUCTION by Rob Smith
Last year, the Alberta Angus Association decided
to recognize those individuals and breeding units
that have made significant contributions to the
Angus fraternity and industry. Subsequently, the
AAA created the Alberta Angus Hall of Fame.
Each year, between two and three Angus Breed
Builders and Contemporary Angus Breeders will
be inducted to the Hall of Fame at our Alberta
Angus Annual General Meeting Celebration.
Contemporary Angus Breeders are those currently
active, breeding and promoting Angus cattle in Alberta,
and have been doing so under their current name or
breeding operation or 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.
Finally, we honoured true Angus pioneers, the Mackenzie
Bros. The people who founded Black Angus in Canada
provided their contribution so long ago none of us even
know them. They were our Black founders, yet we don’t
even recognize their names. Their efforts, however, were

HALL OF FAME INTRODUCTION continued
Angus Breed Builders are made up of two forms
of 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.
2) Those individuals, groups, businesses
or breeding operations or 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 inaugural Hall of Fame inductions were held
Saturday, December 3 rd , 2005 in Innisfail. This
year is our second ceremony, and our field of
honourees swells to six. Courtesy of support from
the Canadian Angus Association photographs of
the inductees will be displayed in our CAA office.
In 2006, we have three outstanding inductees to
toast and tribute.
We inducted Geis Angus Farm into the Hall as
Contemporary Breeders, joining Belvin Angus
and Towaw Cattle Co. Awards are not new to the
Geis family as they were recognized as Farm
Family of the Year by Edmonton Northlands in
1982. In 1989, Geis Angus was selected by us as
the Alberta Angus Association Purebred Breeder
of the Year and by the Canadian Red Angus
Promotional Society in 1997. The Geis’s
ambition is to consistently raise high quality,
trouble-free Angus cattle with the ability to gain,
with emphasis on the cow. At the Hall of Fame
ceremony, we took a journey back to see how
Geis Angus got to this historic point.
We celebrated Dick Turner, a man charged with
spreading the Angus message at a time when it
was much less fashionable to wave that Angus
flag. The late 1960’s was a time of protest and
rebirth across North America, and ‘Young Turks’
like Jack Peaker, Don Currie and Dick blazed a
trail for the Angus world as we would come to
know it. Dick’s commitment to Angus would
never waver, however, and he has worn as many
hats as anyone in our business: an editor,
publisher, photographer, marketer, consultant,
sales manager and even sometime breeder. He is
our true ‘Renaissance Man’, and has affected each
and every one in the breed.
duplicated starting in the 1960’s by five ambitious and
visionary young men from Southern Alberta who would
found Red Angus in Canada and thusly change the course
of the Angus breed and the entire cattle and beef
production sector. The Mackenzie Bros. are people we
know… and yet they are true breed pioneers and industry
giants.
Geis Angus, Dick Turner, Mackenzie Bros. - three
inductees… each a modern-day legend and for time
everlasting. Their contribution and commitment has
shaped our breed and our industry. They are trendsetters
and pioneers, movers and shakers. They are… our Hall of
Famers!
AAA HALL OF FAME INDUCTION –
‘Contemporary’
Geis Angus Farm
Geis Angus Farm is made up of Brian and Kim Geis,
Brian’s mother Erika and her friend Bill, and Brian and
Kim’s two children, Jenna and Robert. Geis Angus is a
family operation with no off farm income. Their entire
living is made from Angus cattle, their cow herd's strength
and the power of individual cow families within the herd
that they have developed over the past 30+ years.
Brian’s grandfather, Henry Gerloff, lived in Germany and
immigrated to Canada in 1928. He and his wife
homesteaded on the Geis family’s current home quarter 13
miles west of Barrhead. Brian’s parents, Don and Erika,
got married and purchased what is now the Geis Angus
Farm from Erika’s folks in 1957.
A dairy herd was the primary source of income and the
Geis dairymen developed strong and keen work ethics.
Don was among the first dairy operators in the area to start
breeding cows through A.I., and by breeding the first calf
Holstein heifers to Angus bulls, a flirtation between Angus
and the Geis family had begun.
The first purebred Angus were purchased in 1975 as 4-H
projects for Brian and his sisters, Darlene and Brenda.
They didn’t have much luck with those first purchases: the
best one died, one came open that first fall and the final
one turned out to be a poor producer. Things changed
rapidly, however, when the Geis family sought guidance
and advice from local Angus breeders Ed & Irene
Molzahn. Many herds were toured, and with Don’s good
eye and Ed & Irene’s assistance, a quality herd was started
continued…

AAA HALL OF FAME INDUCTION - Contemporary continued
Out of one of the early calf crops Geis Sir Baros
36 was born and became the highest selling bull in
Canada. Sir Baros sold at the Cross Country sale
managed by Lloyd Pickard and was selected by
John Frank. From a purebred seedstock
perspective, Geis Angus had arrived. From a
commercial perspective, however, there was still
much work to be done; the next 15 years found
Angus bulls a very hard sell to ‘rank and file’
cattlemen.
Many of the top cow line’s in today’s Geis Angus
herd trace back to the famed and respected Ed
Rene cowherd. The Ruby’s, Senta’s, Angel’s and
Blackbird’s are just a few cow families that
provided such an excellent start in the world of
Black Angus.
Brian and Kim represent the role Junior Angus
play in our Hall of Fame. It was at the Bashaw
Junior Angus show that Brian and Kim met… and
the attraction would grow stronger through the
1980’s.
Kim came from Red Eagle Acres, the Red Angus
outfit from Don & Vicky Conway. They had
been in the cattle business since 1965, purchasing
their first Red Angus in 1969.
Indirectly, these two kids seemed to kind of swirl
around each other. At the 1985 World Angus
Forum Kim was the Red Angus Queen while Geis
Angus won the Stall Award. Both Brian and Kim
met the Queen Mother at this seminal Angus
event, now more than 20 years ago.
Brian’s interests were always directed toward the
beef cattle, and the decision was made in 1985 to
sell the dairy and bring the Angus cow herd
numbers up over 100 head of producing cows.
Brian’s winters from the mid-1980’s to 1994 were
spent feeding cows and working on the entire
Geis bull crop that would be halter broke by
donkey and hauled to Angus consignment bull
sales across Alberta. Brian traveled thousands of
miles marketing Geis Angus bulls, building a
reputation for both Angus cattle and Geis
genetics.
As the 1980’s progressed, Brian ceased to be a
Junior but had such a strong reputation he was
called back to judge at the Alberta Junior Angus
Show. What an eye he had… although it is kind
of hard, in retrospect, to know if he was really evaluating
conformation or showmanship… or just judging that
attractive your Eckville lass on the halter. Regardless,
Brian and Kim were married in 1989 and along with
‘wedded bliss’ came a herd of Red Angus cows. One
might think Brian was making a strategic acquisition of
Kim, or to diversity the Geis genetic portfolio to include
Red cattle… but conventional wisdom at the time said that
Kim married Brian because he had a bale shredder while
Brian married Kim for the Lois cow line.
As the cow herd grew, so did the Geis family. Brian and
Kim welcomed Jenna into their lives in 1992 and Robert in
2000. Jenna is involved with beef and canine 4-H projects,
five disciplines of dance and, of course, school. Robert
plays hockey and joined a boy’s hip hop and tap club.
Until 1991, Geis Angus showed cattle heavily in fairly
large numbers, doing very well. The stock trailer was full
every time it left the yard for a show and sometimes two
trips were required! Highway Trim Lass 564 was haltered
at age 5 when her bull calf was Gambler. They were the
Champion Female at Farm Fair in 1990, and Gambler sold
through the OBI-managed Super Star that year to
Denmark. Gambler would become a benchmark bull
throughout Europe, becoming famous for not only winning
many shows but for siring many winning offspring.
As the Geis Angus Farm reputation expanded and Don,
Erika, Brian and Kim became more and more noted as one
of the top producers in Canada, the ‘circle of life’ would
affect the family tremendously, as it does all of us. There
is just never a right time for such experiences, nor any
means of preparing for them. Don passed away suddenly
in 1991. Brian & Kim’s second child, Sarah, was lost in
1996 at 17 months of age. These emotional times made
progress at Geis Angus Farm a little quieter, but the
remaining family members grew stronger as a result of the
grief and hardship, and inspired by the support provided
them by family, friends and their community. They
realized a lesson we are all lucky to learn: regardless of
financial wealth, the emotional foundation provided to the
Geis family during their time of need made them realize
they were, and are, rich beyond their wildest imagination.
After 1991, Geis Angus slowed down a bit on the ‘show
road’, only exhibiting bulls in smaller markets to promote
bull sales. They would come back hard, however, in 1996.
Maybe not hard in the total number of show cattle they
brought, but certainly with quality – they showed two bull
calves who would be undefeated Bull Calf and Reserve
Bull Calf Champion at every show that fall. One of the
two bull calves was Red Geis Poundmaker 159G who
would experience an illustrious show career that saw him
continued…

AAA HALL OF FAME INDUCTION - Contemporary continued
in the championship drive each of his three
eligible show years, 1996-1999.
In 1997, Geis Angus decided to take a big step
and develop their own bull sale on the farm. The
tough decision resulted in one of the best business
ventures of their lives and maybe the smartest
project ever undertaken at Geis Angus Farm. The
Geis family recognizes the tremendous effort and
commitment put forth by OBI and many family
and friends in making this annual venture such a
success.
In 1997, Geis Angus was recognized as having the
largest Angus herd in Canada. The family,
however, felt the stress and fatigue associated
with building Canada’s largest herd. At the time,
they were breeding close to 500 head and calving
345 cows. In 1998 Geis Angus held a herd
reduction sale and liquidated over 200 cows. This
sale was hugely influential in the breed, with
many new herds starting as a result, or existing
herds making purchases that took them to the next
level of excellence.
Currently, Geis Angus Farm calves around 200
head in January with a further 130 in May, half of
which are Black and the other half Red. They
farm 13 quarters of land, growing all their own
feed and a small amount of cash cropping. Their
focus, amid all this hard work and large-scale
farming of 1800 acres, is to produce functional
cattle the Geis family feels confident in
merchandising. And merchandize they do since
there are not too many successful herds that do
not have at least one Geis-bred animal producing
seedstock for them.
Erika met her friend, Bill Cook, and both play a
huge role in the ever-increasing Geis Angus
operations. Erika and Bill help with Jenna and
Robert, cooking, errands and watching the farm
while Brian & Kim are away. Their support is
essential and appreciated. Brian & Kim also turn
to Erika & Bill for input on key business decisions
and for life advice. It goes without saying that
Brian & Kim could not manage their operation
without Erika & Bill, not to mention the efforts of
family and friends.
2001 was a marquee year for Geis Angus,
signifying tremendous commerce, impact on the
breed, and raising, yet again, the reputation of one of
Canada’s premier Angus herds. 2001 was the year of Red
Geis Samarie 234F and Red Geis Knight Hawk 14M. Kim
thought great things were possible if Brian could just get
the damned 5-year-old brood matron halterbroke! Rob
Holowaychuk would not leave Brian & Kim alone until
Knight Hawk was entered in the Masterpiece sale held
during Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, and he
became the high selling bull calf that year, selling to the
new and increasingly progressive Soo-Line Cattle Co. of
Midale, SK. Further, 234F and Knight Hawk would reign
triumphant at the RBC All Breeds Supreme Championship
held at the completion of Agribition. This is the only cow
Geis Angus has exhibited in the past 10+ years, and she
won what really is the National All Breeds Supreme
Championship. We all dream about this… Brian & Kim
peeled a cow out of the pasture and won it all. Don’t they
make it look too easy!?!?!?
Each member of the Geis family admits there are so many
people they admire in the cattle business, many of which
we saw in the slideshow, more of which are here tonight.
They have made a lifetime of friends and memories in this
business, our business. Fortunately for us, Geis Angus has
been our friend, giving us countless memories and
awesome animals for over 30 years.
As great cattlemen, and great people, it is with pleasure we
announce our 2006 Alberta Angus Association Hall of
Fame Contemporary Breeder inductee, Geis Angus Farm -
Brian and Kim Geis, their children Jenna and Robert,
Brian’s mother Erika and her friend Bill. The newest
member of our Hall of Fame – Geis Angus.

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!
Alberta Angus Association Scholarship - Application
deadline: May 31st
Lybrook Miller Memorial Scholarship - Application
deadline: September 15th
Dorothy Banks Memorial Scholarship - Application
deadline: September 15th
Include everything that is asked for. The AAA Scholarship
requires a reference to contact, so please make sure that
person is expecting us to contact them on your behalf.
When we ask for pictures, please provide a recent one from
either school or some other occasion. The Dorothy Banks
Memorial Scholarship requires a written reference, 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-toocommon
mistake.
Please consider your scholarship application like it is a job
application. Only those that are professional will
be considered.
AAA Hall of Fame Induction
'Breed Builder'
DICK TURNER
Dick Turner was born in Quebec City, where he was taught
to speak fluent French and English. It was about age 10
that he and his family upped roots and headed for the City
of Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he would spend the rest of
his school years.
His involvement with Agriculture writing began early as he
worked for the Winnipeg Free Press Weekly as the Farm
Editor.
Dick met his wife of many years, Shirley, and the two
immediately went on the move, with an early transfer to
Toronto in 1966. At this time Dick became the Eastern
Farm Editor.
In 1972 Dick purchased the Aberdeen Angus News from
the Canadian Angus Association. He put in many years
behind the desk and out on the road covering Angussanctioned
events from coast to coast, putting on more
miles than most truck drivers.
During this time Dick covered such prestigious events as
the 1977 World Angus Form in Scotland, New Zealand in
1981, Edmonton in 1985 and finally Argentina in 1989.
Dick’s entrepreneurship moved him to the city of
Lethbridge in 1974, “a logical move” as stated by Jack
Peaker as that is where the Angus population was heaviest,
and many cattle were pictured and used in promotional
material from that area. It was at this time, the mid-1970’s,
that Dick’s volunteer involvement with Angus producer
groups commenced. For many years Dick filled the
position of Treasurer for the Southern Club as well as the
Southern Alberta Cattle Breeders (Lethbridge Bull Sale).
Those in Alberta were fortunate to have the Aberdeen
Angus News right in their backyard as well as such an
involved individual at their disposal.
In 1990, Dick sold the renamed Angus News, but this
would only remove Dick from the world of writing for a
continued…

AAA Hall of Fame Induction 'Breed Builder' continued
few years. He started up another Angus magazine
named the “Angus Leader” in 1997 and that
published until 2003 with the last issue that
December. Throughout this time he also
published other breed and even other species
magazines and catalogues such as the Shorthorn
News and a magazine focused on ostrich
breeding.
Dick has always been a welcome sight at Angus
events for his ongoing commentary and booming
voice. Not many men can speak without a
microphone when addressing over 100 people…
Dick has no trouble whatsoever! He always has
his own way of doing things, like the ram’s horn
he would blow to get people’s attention, maybe
for loading a tour bus or other activities. Dick
acquired this particular conversation piece when
he attended the Scottish Angus Forum in 1977.
He is also noted for his All Canadian sale, which
Dick has managed for 15 years, having completed
the 2006 edition on October 28 th just down the
road from here. He has been owner and operator
of Palliser Animal Health Laboratories, as well as
through everything being a highly involved,
dedicated and excellent father to three children –
Barbara, Keith and Bryan – and a growing family
of 10 grandchildren ranging from 5 to 16 years of
age.
Dick is a life long member of the Lethbridge
Rotary Club, sponsoring numerous exchange
students through the Club. He also helped
organize the National Rotary convention in
Lethbridge, a very time consuming commitment
for a huge function.
News of Dick’s inclusion into the Alberta Angus
Association Hall of Fame spread like wildfire and
there are a number of folks who would like to be
here on this occasion. Among them are Don
Currie of Glen Islay Angus and Jack Peaker in
Ontario.
Don recalls that Dick, Jack Peaker and he were all
hired at the same time by the Canadian Angus
Association. Don was hired in December 1968
with Jack and Dick following in early 1969, so
this wet-behind-the-ears kid actually considered
himself the senior staff to Jack and Dick. Don
says that “The trip from Toronto to the Annual
meeting in Vancouver in 1969 was highly
memorable and if you remind Dick he can fill in
all the gory details. All I know is either Air
Canada run out of Scotch or we were cut off…
likely the latter! Dick contributed tremendous enthusiasm
to the Angus business in Canada and around the world.
There are many wonderful memories of trips with Dick,
including the time that seven of us from Ontario including
Dick, Willmot, Peaker, George Early, Bruce McGillivray,
myself, and Jim Mahar flew to Winnipeg and all crammed
into one station wagon with lots of luggage heading to the
Boniagri dispersal sale then on to Agribition. This trip was
all arranged by Dick and I am sure if two or three other
people wanted to come he would have tried to cram them
in too. Dick doesn’t know how to say “no”… and what
better friend can you have than that”. Don Currie wants to
congratulate both Dick and Shirley.
Jack Peaker also contacted us when news of Dick’s
induction arrived. He said:
I am so pleased to hear about Dick Turner being
inducted into the Alberta Angus Hall of Fame.
Please extend my very best wishes. It was
in 1971 that I got to know Dick when I was
manager of the Canadian Angus Association and
he was publisher of the Canadian Angus News.
He did such a great job on that; I always tried to
get my column in before the deadline but he would
have to get after me every time! Anyway, it was a
great magazine. We became friends, and he and
Shirley still visit us when they come east.
Dick has always done a great job for the Angus
breed in Canada, and I wish I could be with you
today, old friend. Jack.
Don and Jack and many of us have known Dick for what
seems like forever… but many of our younger generation
truly have known Dick for their entire lives. I know many
young people who wondered who this man was who could
just walk right into the middle of a show ring and not be
either the Judge or Ringman. And that booming voice
instructing on how to set an animal up. There have been
generations of young cattlemen and women who have
come to know Dick Turner as part of the fabric of our lives
in the business. A telltale sign is when a 13-year-old
recently asked at an Angus event, “Where is Dick Turner?”
That is the effect he has had on all of us.
Dick has been a real pillar in the cattle society and has left
his mark in many corners of the industry as well as outside
the agriculture link. He spread the word about Angus
cattle, and assisted all of us in establishing what is easily
the most popular breed in Canada today.
What a pleasure that anyone could be fortunate enough to
have crossed Dick’s path and had the opportunity to
engage in conversation or a short walk down memory lane
as this is a man with many memories and many encounters.
It has been said before and we will certainly say it again…

AAA Hall of Fame Induction 'Breed Builder' continued
Dick… you should write a book. And don’t
forget to include those juicy little tidbits of news
you used to include about our Angus World
either! Some might call them gossip, but it’s
important that we all be aware and informed,
don’t you think? Who didn’t look forward to that
inside back page of Dick’s Angus Leader? He is
a true breed historian who treasures heritage and
legacy-builders. As the year’s have passed, it is
apparent – Dick himself has built an unparalleled
legacy within the Angus fraternity.
For a great big man with a great big voice and a
great big spirit… we are proud to include Dick
Turner in the Alberta Angus Association Hall of
Fame.
He didn’t breed a great one, nor did he win
Premier Breeder at the National Show. But he
helped so many to do exactly that. For almost 40
years, Dick has added value to the experience of
being an Angus Breeder in Alberta. He has
helped to build the breed to its unprecedented
current-day glory. He did so by working with old,
well-established breeders and welcoming the new
generations. He has been a constant… and is a
true Breed Builder.
Fellow Angus enthusiasts, if is with pleasure and
honour that I introduce you to the latest inductee
into the Alberta Angus Association Hall of Fame.
Ladies and Gentlemen… Dick Turner!

GOLD SHOWS By Doug Fee C.E.O.
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. The Canadian office did
experience some inordinate delays in processing time in
the last half of 2006 but this will not be a problem this
year. However, 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.
ULTRASOUND DATA COLLECTION GOES
PAPERLESS AT NATIONAL C.U.P. LAB
The National Centralized Ultrasound Processing (CUP)
Lab & Technology Center recently announced it will be
offering cattle breeders a “paperless” option to submit
ultrasound scans through certified technicians. The
program allows technicians to upload images and
paperwork via the internet to a File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) server. CUP certified technicians will log on to
www.cuplab.com, enter a username and password, and
follow the steps to transfer files to the lab. The upload can
occur from any computer terminal with DSL or high-speed
internet capability. This option will eliminate shipping
costs and lag time associated with express couriers and
postal mail. Animal weight and contemporary group
information can be filled out electronically and uploaded,
emailed, or faxed to The National CUP Lab. The paperless
option is available to all purebred and commercial cattle
breeders using ultrasound technology in their programs at
no additional cost. Also, breeders will now be
automatically notified by email when the ultrasound data
has been completed. The lab will continue to accept
images and scan information from express shippers and
postal mail as it has in the past.

AAA Hall of Fame Induction 'Breed Builder' continued
originally populated with Shorthorn cattle, the
desire to break new ground was eventually ripe in
the Mackenzie’s grandsons… and Ted, Rod,
Mark, Don and Ken would change the face of
Angus - and Canadian beef production - forever.
Having heard and read about the growing
anomaly in the American Angus scene known as
Red Angus, Rod Jr. and Don headed down to
Beckton Stock Farm’s sale in 1962. They
purchased two bred heifers, a cow/calf pair and a
young bull named Beckton Larkebelang 130.
This little herd constituted the birth of Red Angus
in Canada.
From this modest start, the herd would develop as
rapidly as natural increase would permit, plus
occasional additions of a few animals at a time
from Beckton Stock Farms, Triple R Ranch in
Idaho, and such Red Angus as could be learned
about from “black” herds in Alberta. Inasmuch as
Red Angus were not eligible for registry in
Canada, that necessity was taken care of through
the American Red Angus Society, and where the
Mackenzie Bros. tattoo letters were quite
appropriately MAC. When the Canadian Herd
Book was opened to Red Angus in 1968,
Mackenzie Bros. then commenced making further
major additions of foundation stock from Texas,
Oregon, Missouri, Wyoming, Alabama, and
Montana. Although advertising and known as
Mackenzie Bros. Red Angus, each brother had
individually owned their own cattle with their
own tattoos, although the bloodline combination
in all remained basically the same. In 1964 Don
sold the very first Red Angus bull in Canada. In
1969 Mark had the first Canadian-registered Red
Angus bull to ever sell at auction in the nation.
Having a relatively new breed to popularize, the
Mackenzie “reds” made their first appearance at
shows in 1970, taking in every possible summer
show in Alberta and Saskatchewan; to the PNE in
Vancouver; and to the Toronto Royal Winter Fair.
Olds was the first show that year, where Rod
Mackenzie led out the Reserve Grand Champion
Bull and Grand Champion Female. Posterity will
record that the first Grand Championship to be
awarded to a Red Angus animal in Canada was
won at the 1970 Olds Fair. At the same show in
1971, Red Chevronian 13A was named the
Supreme Champion Female over all breeds, and
later named Reserve Grand Champion Female in
Toronto. Canadian Western Agribition began in
1971, and the Mackenzie Bros. exhibited there
with gratifying results. One year later,
Mackenzie’s would show the Reserve Grand Champion
Bull at Agribition with Red MAC Lad 14 th . The Red
Chevronian 13A cow proved to be as much a pioneer for
the Mackenzie’s as they were for the Angus breed; she was
a 17-times Champion and 21-times class winner during her
show career, and did as much to popularize Red Angus as
any other animal.
As the years progressed, there were more show cattle and
more show champions at prestigious shows like the
Calgary Bull Sale. Cattle were consigned to sales like the
Cross-Country and typically sold well. A major risk would
be taken, however, in 1972 when the Mackenzie’s held the
first production sale of Red Angus cattle in Canadian
history. 56 lots would sell very well to people as far away
as Ontario. An annual production sale would become a
mainstay, as well as a spring bull sale.
What would our Angus industry look like today without
the Mackenzie Bros. risk and dedication? What would we
look like without all the herds started as a result of the
Mackenzie’s initiative? The successive generation was
involved from a young age, with Ed and Randy helping
their uncle Rod show cattle from 1970 onward when both
were under 12 years of age. Carol Mackenzie was the first
Canadian Red Angus Queen from 1974 to 1976. Today,
Ed and Randy help the Southern Alberta Angus Club, Jade
sits on our Alberta Angus Board of Directors as well as
works with the Southern Club and Bryan has just about the
highest profile in the breed. Even though the Mackenzie
Bros. contribution to the past is uniquely profound, think
of the value created today by Brylor, MEM, Jewel and
Gem. Mackenzie Bros. was the forerunner to all of these
operations, but the next generation is carrying that legacy
forward with passion and commitment and consideration.
Mackenzie Bros. have realized the need for a strong
Association to support their entrepreneurial spirit and
seedstock breeding prowess as well. Don was elected to
the Canadian Angus Association Board of Directors from
1978 – 80, the first Red Angus breeder to be elected. He
would return to the Board many years later and become
President. All the brothers assisted with the creation of the
Canadian Red Angus Promotional Society and the
Southern Alberta Angus Club.
There would be Mackenzie genetics sold throughout the
globe, and travels abroad to support the customer service
from Canada’s first Red Angus breeders. There is
Mackenzie representation as most World Angus Forums,
and everyone knows what Mackenzie Bros. represents in
the Angus family.
In talking to many people, it seems as though Rod was the
brother who first became known to the general public and
continued…

AAA Hall of Fame Induction 'Breed Builder' continued
the Angus world at large. As he was tearing down
the show road in those early years, he garnered an
excellent reputation for sportsmanship and
became extremely well-liked. In July of 1975,
Rod received the first liver transplant in Western
Canada. He passed away after a courageous battle
on May 1 st , 1976. Most of the brothers continue
their dedication to Red Angus cattle, however,
and are still making an impact today… almost 45
years after that original purchase.
Along the way, the Mackenzie’s have received
many honours. In 1979 the Mackenzie Bros. were
recognized by the American Red Angus
Association with the Pioneer Breeder Award.
They were the first recipients of this award after
all seven of the ARA charter members had been
recognized. In 2004, when the ARA celebrated
its 50 th Anniversary, Mackenzie Bros. was named
one of the “50 Most Influential Breeders”; they
were the only Canadians to achieve inclusion on
this list. Over the past 25 years, both Don and
Mark’s immediate family operations have been
singled out by the Canadian Red Angus
Promotional Society as the Purebred Breeder of
the Year. Finally, the Canadian Angus Association named
Mackenzie Bros. their Honourary President in 2004.
T. S. Eliot said "Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Only
those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how
far one can go." Ladies and Gentlemen, the Mackenzie
Bros. – Ted, Rod, Mark, Don and Ken – went as far as they
could, and then went a little farther. They dared and
dreamed and then worked incredibly hard with proper cow
sense and built an entire breed. We owe them
tremendously for their contribution and we honour them
for their commitment. Their grandparents may have fallen
short of their quest for precious metal in their rush to the
Klondike, but five young men struck the mother lode 75
years later with the conversion of Red Angus into certified
gold beef. I’m sure Mr. and Mrs. Mackenzie Sr. would be
most proud.
Ladies and Gentlemen… our final honouree of this 2006
Alberta Angus Association Hall of Fame induction… the
founders of Red Angus in Canada… the Mackenzie Bros.

WAY TO GO ANGUS!!!

FARMFAIR COMMERCIAL PEN SHOW NOVEMBER 11, 2006 – no photos available
HONOURARY PRESIDENTS 2007 – DON and DAWN ATKINSON
Trailview Farm was established in the early
1930’s by Ted Atkinson on the St. Albert Trail
between St. Albert and Edmonton, AB. Purebred
Red Poll cattle was the choice of breed. After
Ted’s passing in 1953 and the subsequent sale of
the farm, Donald and his Mother relocated in
1956 to a farm four miles north of Lacombe,
Alberta on the Calgary & Edmonton Trail. It was
in 1962 that a decision was made to purchase
Purebred Black Angus cattle, with the idea of
phasing out the Red Poll cattle. The first
registered Angus was purchased from Robert
Spooner of Harmattan, AB., and the entire calf
crop of 1963 and 1964 plus a few select females
were acquired from David Liddle, Ponoka, AB.
Many other females were purchased from various
Breeders over the years. Cattle were exhibited at
local fairs, Royal Winter Fair in Toronto,
Farmfair, and Agribition. Cattle were exported to
the U.S.A., Mexico, El Salvador, and Japan.
It was at “the Royal” that Donald met Dawn, the
Ontario nurse who was helping her family exhibit
their cattle in the same showring. They married in
1964 and subsequently had two children, Brian
and Heather.
In the early 70’s Donald began serving on the
Directorate of the Alberta Angus Association and
as its President in 1976 traveled to the Royal
Highland Show in Scotland and the Royal Show
in England to represent Alberta. At about this
same time, he was elected to the Board of
Directors of the Canadian Angus Association. He
was very much involved in the World Angus
Forum held in Edmonton in 1985 and was
honoured to serve as President of the Association
in 1987.
When Dawn had the chance, she traveled with Donald to
meetings and shows, becoming acquainted with the
spouses of the fellow directors, and of course shopping in
the different locales. The relationships made during this
time with the people of this great breed still stand today.
When they meet up again at Angus functions or even at the
Brier or World Curling bonspiels, it is like old times.
Donald and Dawn were involved with community through
Minor Sports, School Sports, Curling Club and 4-H. Dawn
served on the local Hospital Board for 12 years and now
does volunteer work with the Hospital and the Music
Festival Association. For several years, she has marked 4-
H Record Books for the Central Lacombe 4-H Beef Club.
Both still Curl twice a week in the winter. Reluctantly, the
farm was sold in 1997 but a small herd was kept and leased
to Prime Time Cattle Co (Jason and Bev Kelly) at Innisfail,
AB. Donald has just retired from a 15 year stint as Crop
Adjuster with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation.
The Atkinsons still attend many functions around the
country, always lending a hand, whether it is babysitting
the grandkids, sponsoring shows or donating items for
auction. They are proud when they see the Trailview
prefix in a show or sale catalog. Through it all, they still
enjoy meeting up with the Angus fraternity and cherishing
this great breed.

to Dawn and Don Atkinson

Dorothy Banks Memorial Scholarship
I’m Quinn Hamilton and I received the Dorothy
Banks Memorial Scholarship this year. I am
definitely honored to be added to the list of
recipients of the remarkable lady’s award. I
remember Dorothy always made an effort to
speak to my brother and I and she frequently
commented on how she liked my unique name. I
just completed one of many semesters at the
University of Calgary. Starting university at 18
seemed scary; I couldn’t even imagine what it
would be like if I were in my eighties! As a
member of our local 4-H club for nine years, I
developed an interest in showing cattle. I would
initially only tag along at shows but eventually
started competing with my own cattle in the
Belvin Angus string. Over the last few years I
have built up my own herd of about ten cows.
This will be my second year as Vice President on
the Alberta Junior Angus Board and I am looking
forward to another successful show this summer.
Aside from my cattle interests, I have a couple
other hobbies. I played an exciting six years of
basketball throughout school and I also have my
grade 8 piano. Again I feel privileged to accept
this scholarship. Thank-you to everyone who was
involved.
L to R: Quinn Hamilton accepting award from Dawn Wilson
Lybrook Miller Memorial Scholarship
Hello, my name is Ricki Fleming; I would like to thank the
Lybrook Miller Family and the Alberta Angus Association
for the Lybrook Miller Memorial Scholarship. I am 19
years old. I am a founding member and a current director
of the Alberta Junior Angus Association. I am also a
director of the Canadian Junior Angus Association. I am
excited to be a part of these associations and helping with
the development of “Junior Angus” enthusiasts. I am
pleased to be apart of the formation of the “GOAL
(Guiding Outstanding Angus Leaders) Conference”.
I am the daughter of Duncan and Cecilie Fleming, sister of
Cooper Fleming. Our family farm is located 3/4 miles west
of Granum with the backdrop of the beautiful foothills of
Southwestern Alberta. We have a Black Angus cow herd
and operate Fleming Stock Farms, which I take an active
roll in all aspects of the farming and cattle operation. I
have 25 head of Black Angus cows of my own which has
grown from my involvement in junior programs and will
be the base of my future herd.
I really enjoy showing cattle at different shows, promoting
and presenting the cattle, meeting new people and learning
more about the cattle industry.
This scholarship has gone towards my post secondary
education at Lethbridge Community College, where I am
finishing my Agriculture Technology – Animal Science
Diploma. Upon completion of this diploma program in
April 2007, I will be seeking employment in the agriculture
sectors of reproduction, nutrition or advertising.
My 5 year plan involves traveling to Europe, working,
expanding my Angus herd and continuing my post
secondary education to become a well rounded livestock
producer as well as an active participant in the “Angus”
fraternity.
Again, I want you to know how much I appreciate being
selected as the 2006 Lybrook Miller scholarship recipient.
L to R: President Rob Smith presenting award to Ricki Fleming
4-H & Youth Programs
Happy New Year to everyone and with fresh new faces on
the Alberta Angus Association board we are gearing up for
a great year with new ideas. The youth are the future of
Agriculture and this committee is dedicated to encouraging
and supporting them.
We are continuing with the 4-H t-shirt program that has
been a success for many years. In 2006 we sent 1273 tshirts
to 162 clubs. Please encourage your local clubs to
send in their application forms to Val in the office. We are
always on the look out for new slogan and t-shirt design
ideas. If anyone has any great ideas e-mail them to Carol
at jeffcarol@soderglen.com.
On the Alberta Junior Angus front, this is our future
generation! We are once again supporting them at their
junior show on July 6 – 8 in Olds. This is a great show for
the Angus youth to showcase their talents and skills
required to pursue their future in the Agriculture industry.
The youth organize and run this event and the skills gained
are invaluable. If anyone has not experienced this event
come and see where your membership money is going and
why the directors view it as such a valuable event.

4-H & Youth Programs continued
The photo contest is taking a different route this year and
will be judged and awarded at the Canadian National
Junior Angus Heifer Show in Olds July 6 – 8. The
winning photos will be awarded a prize and have their
photo published in the Angus Angle. The Alberta Angus
Association will retain photo rights to the photos to use in
promotional advertising in the future. The contest is open
to all youth aged 21 and under as of January 1, 2007.
Photo deadline is July 6, 2007 and can be brought to the
show or mailed to the Alberta Angus Association.
ALBERTA JUNIOR ANGUS ASSOCIATION
would sincerely like to thank Gordon Pritchard for buying
the heifer and Belvin Angus of the Black Magic group for
donating her. With the money we are investing half of it,
and with the remainder we are putting some of it towards
the cost of the show, to the general running of the board,
and the rest will be used for our scholarship fund. At this
time I would like all the sponsors who make our show
possible. I would like to remind everyone that the Jr show
will be again held in Olds and everyone is welcome to
come out and enjoy the show. Hope calving season goes
well and remember to support a Jr event this year because
we are the future of the breed.
Mat Bolduc - President
2006 was a good year for the Jr Association, but we are P.S. Remember juniors bring a friend!
very excited for 2007. We finished 2006 with a bang with
the sale of the donation heifer at Farmfair. The sale of the
heifer raised 10,000 dollars for the Jr Association. We

Comments From C.E.O.… Doug Fee
Your membership renewal forms were sent out
in the mail in December and many Albertans
have already mailed them in. The Canadian
office will be mailing your female inventories
and applications for registration in mid January
so you know we’ll be thinking about you. For
those of you who are interested in doing things
electronically Wendy Newton has agreed to help
us work our way through our HerdMaster mixups.
We still think it’s a great program with
super possibilities but our introduction was less
than outstanding. Wendy is very helpful and will
be happy to help any of our purchasers put the
program to work.
The Canadian office operates on a fiscal year
that coincides with the calendar year. This makes
sense to me but sometimes causes confusion
when my statements for Alberta don’t line up
with the Alberta report issued in December.
However you add them up 2006 was a good year
for Canadian Angus and for Angus in Alberta.
We had a record number of registrations in
Canada—60,744. Forty seven percent (47%) of
these were from Alberta. Registrations in Alberta
were up 8% from 2005 and ended the year at
28,563. If that doesn’t make you feel good,
consider that we increased from 26,537 in 2005
and 22,999 in 2004.
I gave a very optimistic report at the Alberta
annual meeting in December and now that I’ve
had the opportunity to review our year end
statistics and see the results of some of the year
end sales I am even more optimistic. Although
we were victims of prosperity in 2006 and
experienced unacceptable delays in work flow,
things now seem to be under control. We’ve
added an extra person to the registry crew and
have hired Camille Scott to look after Breed
Development. Having said we are catching up,
our mail today was as voluminous as a busy day
in June and it looks like we are in for a very
successful New Year.
World Angus Forum Futurity
Dear Fellow Breeders:
As Chairman of the 2009 World Angus Forum
Futurity Committee, it is my distinct pleasure to
announce the World Angus Forum "WAF
Futurity" program. 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 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 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 and 2008 we are leaving it open to the
Regions to decide if they wish to run a separate
Red and Black division or a combined Red and
Black show based on numbers participating.
Futurity Plans:
2007 - Heifer Calves and Bull Calves
2008 -Yearling Heifers and Yearling Bulls that
were shown as calves in the 2007 WA-F Futurity
in any one of the regional-designated shows.
2009 - Two Year Old with Natural Calf at side
and Two Year Old Bulls that were shown as
calves in the 2007 WAF Futurity in any one of
the regional-designated shows and as yearlings
in the 2008 WAF Futurity in any one of the
regional-designated shows.
Your first deadline for this program is March 1.
2007. By this date we would like your Region to
declare where and when your show will be for
2007 in order to allow us time to promote the
event nationally. We will need to know who will
be your regional WAF Futurity chairperson. This
person would be the direct contact point and all
official communications would travel between
me (Brian Geis) as chairman of the WAF
Futurity and the designated regional
chairpersons. We encourage your Region along
with your breeders get involved in the WAF
Futurity to make the final leg of the WAF
Futurity in 2009 at Spruce Meadows a truly
Canadian event.
If you have any questions please call any of the
committee members at any time.

Year 2007 memberships are now due. If you have not already renewed your membership,
the cost is $26.50. ($25 for the membership & $1.50 GST).
There is some confusion! The Canadian Angus Association & the Alberta Angus Association each have their own
membership fees. Just because you pay to one Association does not mean that you are paid up for the other. The
Alberta membership fees for 2007 are now due. They are $26.50 ($25 + $1.50 GST).
