Delegate ballots due this month

You have just a few weeks left to nominate a delegate to represent your state at the 2005 American Angus Association Convention of Delegates, set for Nov. 14 in Louisville, Ky., and hosted in conjunction with the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE).

Each Association member may nominate one member. All eligible nominations will be included on a state ballot that will be mailed to members for the final selection of delegates. Nominations must be received in the Association office by June 30.


Order black books now

Even though 2006 is still six months away, it is time to place your order for the 2006 Beef Record Service (BRS)/AngusSourceSM Black Book. The pocket-sized book includes a 2006 calendar as well as space to keep management records on your cow herd.

The books make a great promotional tool or gift to your commercial bull buyers. You can custom-order the books for $2.50 each, which includes your operation’s logo and contact information foil-stamped onto the back cover. Custom orders require a 100-book minimum order. If you would like to order smaller quantities with the Association’s logo on the back cover, those are available for $2.50 each.

BioZyme is a major partner in the production of these books, and a VitaFerm® ad will appear on the inside front cover, which reduces costs to producers.

Custom orders must be placed by July 15. To place orders contact Brenda Schafer, or contact the Association Commercial Programs Department at (816) 383-5100. Books will be shipped to you by Nov. 15 — just in time to distribute to your customers during the fall marketing and holiday seasons.


Convert print to electronic

Members may send their registration papers to the Association to have them converted to electronic storage at no cost until Sept. 30, 2005. After Sept. 30, the fee will be $2 per paper.


NJAS fast approaching

Make plans to attend the 2005 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), July 17-23 in Denver, Colo. This event showcases Angus youth and activities of the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA). A group of Western states Angus associations and junior associations will host the event — "Way Out West" — at the National Western Complex.

For a complete schedule of events and hotel information, call the Junior Activities Department at (816) 383-5100 or go to www.njas.info.
