Saskatchewan Angus Association ~ 2025 Commercial Producer of the Year

Artesian Angus Farms, White Fox, Saskatchewan

In 1985, Curtis Riemer purchased a quarter section of land 10 miles (16 kms) northeast of White Fox, Saskatchewan from his dad Don. He began building a homestead, a farmyard and a place to raise Black Angus cattle. In 1986, Artesian Angus Farms was born when Curtis purchased a group of purebred Black Angus bred heifers.

He continued to buy purebred Black Angus heifers while also keeping his own replacement heifers to grow the herd. He slowly grew the herd this way until 2003 when Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) hit Saskatchewan. “We used BSE as a major opportunity for our operation. With cattle sales on hold, I retained all my own females as replacements. Seeing these animals fit into the herd and enhance the overall group made me realize I was on my way to achieving my goal of building a uniform herd with strong maternal traits,” says Curtis.

By adding good quality purebred Black Angus bulls and selecting females with strong maternal traits, Artesian Angus Farms has created an elite commercial herd that continues to produce reliable, consistent and polished animals.

President’s Report . . .

With 2025 in the rear-view mirror, it is very pleasing to look back and reflect on what a great year it was. Outstanding beef prices, exceptional production and female sales and an overwhelming amount of entries and attendance at all the shows and sales across Saskatchewan and Canada.

Canadian Western Agribition was another great success. The Black and Red Angus shows were very deep in quality and well attended with the stands full again this year. The commercial cattle show and sale as well as the Bull Pen Alley show was also very

successful. The National Show returned to Agribition this year and the food and refreshments, cash draws and additional prizes were all very well received by those in attendance. Thank-you to all the volunteers and sponsors that made this show a great success once again.

The All-Star Angus Sale was held again on Friday night during CWA. A great set of cattle traded that evening. Congratulations to all the consigners in the sale. Another highlight that evening was the Canadian Junior Angus donation heifer from Murray Ranches. Thank you to the Murray family for your generous donation as well to all that participated to generate a substantial amount of money for our juniors.

Our next board meeting is scheduled for April 19, 2025 in Moose Jaw. In conjunction with the meeting, we are planning another breeder session. Over the past years these breeder sessions have been very well received. If you haven’t attended one this would be a great opportunity to do so. You don’t have to be an Angus breeder to participate, the sessions are open to

everyone. The Member Engagement committee is looking to focus on the ongoing TB testing in Saskatchewan. More details will be available closer to the eventwatch our social media channels to stay up to date.

Another item to put into your calendar for the summer of 2026 is the Saskatchewan Angus Tour. It is scheduled to take place on July 29th and 30th in the Moose Jaw area. The hosts of this year’s tour are in the early planning stages of this highly popular event and more information will be released later in the spring. Also keep in mind as in the past, other breeders are welcome to display their cattle at one of our tour stops. It’s a great way to showcase your cattle.

Calving is well under way and bull sale season is soon upon us - I personally wish you all the best in the next coming months.

Stay warm!

2025 Commercial Producer of the Year - Artesian Angus Farms

The producers of the purebred Black Angus bulls we’ve gotten over the years do an outstanding job with their animals. Without them we wouldn’t have the quality herd we have today,” says Curtis.

The Black Angus breed has proven to be resilient and hearty, even in the challenging northern Saskatchewan climate. The herd displays strong Angus traits and are easy keeping, have good hair, sound feet and strong maternal features.

“Black Angus cattle are a good fit for us. They adapt well to our northeast region of the province with its cold winters and abundance of snow,” says Curtis. “This is where their thick hair and hardiness come naturally into play.”

Artesian Angus Farms is currently owned and operated by Curtis and Shari Riemer; their oldest daughter Triston, her husband Todd Gallais and their daughters Blair,

Renn and Karson; their son Kole and his wife Erika and their sons, Kiptyn and Munro. Triston and Erika also work off the farm, Triston as a physiotherapist and Erika as a teacher. Teaching the next generation about the farm is important to the family. The grandkids are often seen helping with chores, riding in equipment and delivering meals to the crew. Curtis and Shari’s middle daughter Taryn and husband Cody Milton reside in Saskatoon with their daughter Abigail and son Charlie. The Milton’s enjoy trips to the farm and love the opportunity to stay connected with agriculture and expose their children to their love for agriculture.

Today, the farm is home to 450 commercial Black Angus cow/calf pairs. The bred heifers start to calve in mid-April, and the cows start in the beginning of May. Calves are fed in a background feedlot on the farm. The steers are sold in mid-February and are known to be high sellers at their sale. Out of the uniform heifer crop, Artesian Angus Farms choose their replacements to help enhance their own breeding program and offer quality heifers at their annual bred heifer sale. This occurs at Northern Livestock Sales in Prince Albert every March, this year marks their 18th annual sale on March 13.

“Doing the bred heifer sale allows us to retain the heifers in the herd longer. We’re able to see the genetic traits from the bulls we purchase over the years, as well as the

traits we’ve selected for in our own cow herd. This gives us an opportunity to learn what works well for our herd as well as the heifers we sell each year,” says Curtis.

Artesian Angus Farms is known for bringing high quality females bred to low birth weight, high-performance purebred Black Angus bulls to the sale. They take pride in this sale and being able to offer a uniform group of heifers with eye appeal, longevity, fertility, good quality hair coat and performance.

In addition to the cattle program, the family also farms 11,000 acres of crop land. This operation includes Curtis, Kole, Todd, Curtis’ dad Don Riemer, and nephew Connor Riemer. Their grain operation is built on regenerative agriculture practices. They continue to see the benefits of integrating their cattle operation with these practices. In doing so, they are committed to farming in ways that preserve the land, ensuring future generations can continue the legacy.

“My Dad has taken care of each piece of land since day one. I want to keep that practice going to ensure the longevity of our operation and to one day be able to pass it down to the next generation whether that be my own children or my nieces or nephew,” says Kole.

They have been experimenting with cover crop blends on their silage ground, which double as fall grazing. They use rotational

grazing, manure management, solar powered watering systems and fencing, and utilize safe low stress handling systems.

Artesian Angus Farms also believes in a farm-to-table operation. For many years they have worked closely with L & B Family Meats in White Fox, to process beef for their customers.

“We enjoy working with a local butcher because they’re able to cater to our customers. Everyone wants different cuts of meat when they buy beef and L & B Family Meats are able to do that,” says Curtis. “We also believe in utilizing the local community and the businesses within it.”

Outside of the farm, the family as a whole is very involved in the community. They were involved in 4-H for many years as members and leaders as the kids were

“Strong female traits in a herd is where it all began in our operation and I truly believe in the importance of recognizing and highlighting that in the cattle industry,” says Curtis.

The families are also active with the White Fox curling board, Nipawin minor hockey association, northeast aces committee and the Nipawin community daycare board –with current efforts in building a new daycare in White Fox set to open late summer 2026.

“Being a part of the local community is something I grew up doing,” says Todd. “It’s really important to all of us to give back and help grow a thriving community. That’s what being in a small town is all about and I love that we can do that and show our kids how to connect with the people around them.”

growing up. The family is now looking forward to the next generation continuing the 4-H tradition in the coming years. Artesian Angus Farms also sponsors the grand champion heifer award at the Prince Albert Regional Beef Show and Sale every year.

As for the future of the farm, they’re focused on continuing regenerative ag practices and maximizing production of both grain and cattle operations. They will continue to offer their annual bred heifer sale and steer sales each year. “We plan to keep our herd size similar and keep enhancing the herd with high quality bulls. Artesian Angus Farms loves the easy keeping, resilient nature of the Black

Angus animals in our northern Saskatchewan location. We look forward to showcasing the uniform groups at both bred heifer and steer sales each year,” says Curtis.

Artesian Angus Farms were presented with the 2025 Commercial Angus Producer of the Year Award at Agribition in Regina, Saskatchewan in November of 2025.

“Our family was truly honoured to receive this award and for being recognized in the commercial cattle industry. We would like to thank the Saskatchewan Angus Association for all the work they do in promoting the Angus breed and connecting producers across the province and country,” says Curtis.

Director’s Chair

I hope this message finds everyone well and humble. For those of you who don’t know me my name is Adrian Jungman. I reside north of Saskatoon at Duck Lake and along side my family we own and operate a mixed farming operation, AJ Angus Cattle. We market select females in the All Star Angus sale in Regina and the Touch of Class sale held in Saskatoon. We typically sell 20-25 yearling bulls every year so watch for us on dlms.ca. This will mark my 4th year with the Saskatchewan Angus Association board and I sit on the Show and Sale committee as well as the Commercial committee. I enjoy visiting with the people of the breed at various events and shows, representing the committees and interacting and bridging the connection with our commercial producers… oh and let’s not forget Randy Tetzlaff’s jokes.

It was a snowy December and we used a lot of bedding, but January has been a real treat so far with highs hitting 4-5 degrees Celsius making calving go fairly smooth weather wise. The long-range forecast has January

looking fairly dry until the end of the month in our area - makes it easier for winter calving and getting those bulls cleaned up for pictures and videoing.

Now that we have already entered our main season for marketing genetics both yearling or extra aged bulls and with the ever-growing popularity of online sales or sight unseen purchases, taking great photos and videos of your sale cattle is essential. In today's world and current cattle market high-quality images can significantly impact potential buyers, influence their decisions and drive up the value. I think a great photo is a virtual first impression, it’s either good and grabs attention or it just doesn’t do the animal justice so taking time to get video can go a long way, especially if they aren’t cooperating on picture day. Whether you market online or live on farm, I think it is very important for your cattle to stand out. Clear, well-composed images immediately catch the eye, drawing potential interest to your cattle. A good photo can showcase the true quality of your cattle highlighting conformation, muscle structure, boldness and overall soundness. I have relied on these visuals to assess cattle and I’m sure we all can agree that a great photo can represent that animal’s characteristics.

When marketing our cattle as a seedstock grower we need to also ask ourselves, “Would we use this animal in our own herd as a breeding animal?” What is our intention, why are we choosing to use these genetics? As seedstock producers we need to have the intent to produce sound structured, no hassle cattle that will go out and work for our commercial customers and end users.

It’s looking like the first quarter of the year may indicate a strong market for our cattle with strong demand. The Angus sales were very strong last fall with the cattle in high demand. What a fall run the cattle market was with 500-600 lbs feeder cattle trading on average a $1000 higher than last years highs. I trust that it has been very well received by the cow/calf producer and was a long time in the making. At time of writing recent reports have indicated that feeder cattle placements are down from a year ago. Is that an indication of heifer retention or a reaction to the volatility seen in the futures market last November 2025? This may have caused producer retention and/or delayed marketing into the new year. In any case for the week ending January 9th all classes of cattle were up $1025/cwt and are back to the September/October levels with the spotlight on the heavier class steers weighing 900-925 lbs with some sales as high $500/cwt in Alberta. Prices seemingly have recovered south of the border nearing highs set in October 2025 potentially causing our feeder cattle exports to be more attractive in the weeks to come.

The rise of online sales has transformed the cattle market whether you are marketing sale bulls or your fall feeder cattle – they are much more accessible to a wider range of buyers. The importance of representing your cattle in the best form possible through sharp, attractive photos or through well perceived videos can help strengthen the connection between seedstock growers, commercial cattlemen and feed yards.

Good luck with bull sales and happy calving everyone - stay safe out there!

Mentorship and Member Engagement Update

Well happy winter everyone. I know many of you are in full calving season as we are. The weather has finally,

somewhat, stabilized and the daily 23” snow falls have slowed for now. I know the moisture is good and I am not complaining about that at all, but the daily snow is sure tough on the straw stack.

I am the chair of the Member Engagement Committee and a member of the Promotion Committee. Part of our mandate, as established in our strategic plan is to educate, enhance knowledge and strengthen youth involvement in our industry.

Long Tuesday.” This year my goal was to get 20 Angus exhibitors in the show barn/yards and 20 juniors for this event. We ended up with 23 juniors and 21 breeders. The juniors were assigned to a stall or pen with a different exhibitor in the morning than in the afternoon. Juniors engaged with the daily opera-

tion of Agribition for that exhibitor by helping feed, wash, blow and fit along with helping maintain stalls,

This fall we were involved in a couple of initiatives that worked toward our strategic plan. During Harvest Showdown in Yorkton, we had Breanne Hollinger of Hollinger Land & Cattle lead a school tour session on cow/calf pairs for children in a variety of classrooms. Thank you, Breanne, for volunteering to do this for the Association, Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) and the youth in our community.

A-Long Tuesday is to educate and learn about showing and the cattle industry and have exhibitors who willingly impart their knowledge here makes me very happy. I would be remise if I didn’t mention Michelle Brice, Branding Smoke Photography who volunteered her time to go around taking pictures to capture the day for us. Thank you, Michelle.”

More topics to be discussed: Breeding season - bull breeding, heat detection and AI’ing - last year I actually AI’ed a cow with students present. I had our local butcher shop remove the cervix from a female so I could show them what I was doing. The students could feel the gun in the cervix and fully see what I was actually going to do inside the cow; calving-maternity pen use, calf care, cameras; marketing and beef production - meat to biproducts – we also plan to tour our local butcher shop to continued on Page 26

Saskatchewan Ambassador Update

After several months on the job with SAA as the Angus Ambassador, I have had the opportunity to attend several key Angus events including the Annual General Meeting, the Masterpiece Sale, Edam Fall Fair, Lloydminster Stockade Round Up, Yorkton Harvest Showdown, Canadian Western Agribition and the Touch of Class sale in Saskatoon. The

opportunity to engage purebred and commercial Angus breeders from across the province has been a sincere pleasure with many good discussions around the state of affairs in our industry. In a year where virtually all producers are experiencing record prices on feeder cattle, commercial replacement females and purebred breeding stock, the sense of enthusiasm and optimism has been refreshing. While Angus breeders have always benefited from high demand for the premium genetic traits we bring to the mother cow, feeder animal and fin-

ished beef markets, continued strain on the overall supply of beef cattle in North America has increased competition for inventory at levels making this a great time to be in the beef business.

One outcome of this growing hole in the beef supply chain has been the rapid expansion of the beef on dairy market, which has provided an additional supply of feeder cattle to many feedlots whom have elected to specialize in feeding this

type of animal. In the past it was not uncommon to see feedlots in SK or AB with 1 – 2 pens of Holstein or Holstein cross cattle tucked away in the feedlot, but now there are several yards in Saskatchewan that are filled virtually to capacity with them. If you have not had the opportunity to view these cattle on feed it is worth the trip to do so and please feel free to reach out to me if you would like some help on setting this up. While not exclusively the breed of choice to put onto these Holstein cattle, Angus genetics probably represents 90%. Plus in the feedlots I have visited the robust cross seems to compliment the angular frame and uniformity of the Holstein cattle in Canada and the US, making them a more desirable feeding animal in western Canada. Seeing these calves arrive in Saskatchewan feedlots at weights as light as 250-350 lbs., the Holstein influence is overwhelmingly visible and the majority of them are pre-

dominantly black-hided. I have to compliment the feedlot managers looking after these calves as the health and nutrition programs are very fine tuned and seeing these cattle at 750 – 800lbs you would hardly guess you are looking at the same animals as the Angus influence has become much more prevalent. A very high proportion of these calves are coming out of dairy herds using AI programs and female sexed semen to optimize their preferred and elite female selection process and male semen on commercial grade cows. Work is now being done to identify the most desirable Angus genetics which can provide the best feed efficiency, health and carcass traits in these dairy cross programs to make this resource more valuable moving forward.

Another outcome of our current beef supply challenge has been the trend and need for larger carcass weights which has extended the days on feed for many cattle and also opened the door wider for commercial producers wanting to increase frame size and weaning weights on crossbred calves. While these beef on dairy cattle are filling a portion of this void, the increase in use of Simmental and Charolais terminal sires has been evident and more noticeable in some parts of the province than others. Make no mistake, the Angus based cow herds will continue to dominate the landscape

in Saskatchewan for a variety of reasons, and we can continue to watch this evolve in our rear-view mirror for now but we must also be mindful of industry demand. An injection of cross breeding in most herds can be a positive thing but ultimately, I expect most producers will

In closing, one additional positive trend I have noticed in the past year or two is the growing influx of young people into our industry. Whether it be at regional livestock shows and sales, industry events such as the Western Canada Feedlot Management School, various in-

dustry trade shows in Saskatchewan, and just candid visits with farm families, it has been refreshing to see the number of next generation producers wanting to stay in the cattle business. While the industry will continue to change and have its share of challenges, a diversified family farming operation is looking more appealing than ever to many young people and we need to continue to support and promote this wherever possible. The Angus Association both provincially and nation-

ally has been a leader on this front in terms of programs and educational opportunities and it is important we encourage our young people to take advantage of these.

Best wishes for a successful calving season. I hope to cross paths with as many fellow Angus enthusiasts as possible in the coming months.

On Farm Demonstrations: Lessons Learned from ADOPT Projects

One of the most interesting parts of my role as a livestock and feed extension specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture is helping producers test new ideas directly on their farms. This initiative is supported through the Agriculture Demonstration of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) program, a program that provides funding for incorporated Saskatchewan based producer groups and First Nations communities to demonstrate and evaluate practices and technology.

Why ADOPT?

ADOPT projects provide valuable information for producers that bridge the gap between formal research and practical, on-farm implementation. Information from these trials has been used to support producers in answering questions they have about new technology, feed varieties and more. Ministry specialists have supported numerous ADOPT projects that have provided valuable insight. In this article, I’ll highlight two completed projects and two ongoing projects.

On Farm Nitrate Testing

Nitrate toxicity is a common concern for livestock producers during fall. Often, the recommended course of action is to collect a sample of the suspect crop and submit it for analysis, which usually takes one to four business days. While we’re fortunate to have many labs in Canada that offer nitrate analysis, producers often wish they could do the testing themselves on farm for a quick peace of mind check before harvesting or grazing the crop.

When the specialist team learned that Olds College was conducting a five-year trial using handheld portable nitrate meters, we agreed to partner with Saskatchewan Forage Council to demonstrate this technology to Saskatchewan producers over a two-year trial.

After 171 samples were tested with a portable nitrate meter and by an accredited lab, we found that:

● 80 per cent of samples were correctly classified as safe/caution/unsafe by the handheld meter.

● 19 per cent of samples were incorrectly classified as safe by the handheld meter. One per cent of samples were incorrectly classified as unsafe/cautionary by the handheld meter.

● A trend was observed during testing: Lower nitrate concentrations in forages were more accurately classified (as safe) by the handheld meter, relative to high or borderline high levels of nitrate.

● At this time lab analysis remains the most accurate method of determining nitrate

Accurate testing starts with accurate sampling. Forage samples should be chopped into 1-inch pieces and mixed for best results.

concentration in a feed. It is recommended that producers continue to have samples analyzed at feed lab.

Remote Water Quality Monitoring with FarmSimple Technology

While water quality testing for livestock is a service offered by the ministry, we recognize some areas are not located close to a regional office. After connecting with the owner of FarmSimple at Ag in Motion and discussing the challenges Saskatchewan producers face when it comes to monitoring summer water sources, FarmSimple, along with the Saskatchewan Stock Grower’s Association and ministry specialists decided to collaborate on a project.

This was a one-year project, completed in 2024, that monitored water level and total dissolved solids on three operations across Saskatchewan. Each location also submitted water samples to the Roy Romanow Provincial Laboratory to validate the results of the remote meter. After testing the FarmSimple remote water monitoring technology, we found that:

● Using the remote watering system increased producer’s peace of mind and resulted in fewer trips to check water sources.

● The FarmSimple remote watering system accurately reported the level of water present in the troughs throughout the demonstration, alerting producers if water levels became low.

The FarmSimple remote watering system had varying levels of accuracy relative to the reported total dissolved solids from the lab, but may be used to indicate when it is time to submit another water sample to the lab for comprehensive analysis.

Commercial Replacement Heifer Selection Using Genomic Testing

An ongoing ADOPT project is demonstrating the ease and value of genomic testing when selecting replacement heifers.

Getting the Most Bang for Your Buck

Let’s face it—marketing is expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes downright frustrating. Today’s advertisers face more platforms, more noise, and more competition for attention than ever before. The big question becomes: how do we navigate that noise, and how do our customers navigate it too?

This challenge isn’t limited to large companies with big budgets. Businesses of all sizes wrestle with it regularly. For busy seedstock producers, finding the time to develop clear, effective advertising across multiple platforms can feel overwhelming. While using multiple platforms can help you reach more people (and a wider range), it’s important to remember each media outlet has its own rules, strengths, and limitations, and that matters when you’re planning your marketing efforts. With that in mind, here are a few tips to help guide your advertising:

Know your Core Message

Before you ever create an ad, ask yourself a simple question: What do I want to say? Does that message clearly represent you, your program, and your brand? A strong campaign starts with a focused message. Too often, advertisers try to say everything at once. Too many messages overwhelm the reader and dilute your core point. When competitors are offering similar products or services, standing out can be tough. Decide what matters most and build your ad around that. Instead, choose what you believe is most important and focus on explaining that benefit clearly and simply.

Start with a Headline that stops the Reader. Your headline is your first—and sometimes only—chance to grab attention. A good headline makes the reader pause, sparks interest, and gives them a reason to read on.

One common mistake is relying solely on your ranch or business name as the headline. While name recognition is important, most potential customers are asking themselves, “What’s in it for me?” A headline that highlights abenefit, rather than just a name, is far more effective at pulling readers into the rest of your message.

Turn Features into Benefits

Your advertising shouldn’t just talk about you—it should talk about what you can do for the customer. Features describe what you have; benefits explain why it matters.

For example, if your cattle are performance-oriented and known for growth, the benefit isn’t just “strong performance genetics.” The real benefit is heavier calves at weaning and improved profitability for your customers. Always ask yourself how the features translate into real-world value.

Make it readable - Always

Last winter, while flipping through several livestock newspaper publications, I was shocked by how many ads I simply couldn’t read. In fact, I estimated that over 40% of the ads, most of which were promoting upcoming bull sales, had text or photos that were partially or entirely unreadable.

Sometimes it was EPDs or pedigree information in tiny and/or fine print under multiple bull photos. Other times, I couldn’t make out the ranch name, owner’s name, location, sale date, or clearly see the animals in the photos and sometimes important information was missing. Also, many were on very dark backgrounds. Considering these ads cost anywhere from $500 to $1,500, that’s money not well spent.

This problem isn’t limited to small budgets, either. I’ve seen it happen in national campaigns—and I’ll admit, it’s happened to me over the years too. An unreadable ad doesn’t tell customers who you are, how to contact you, or what you’re selling.

Keep the Design Practical

Often, unreadable ads come from trying to do too much. We want ads to stand out, look attractive, and include as much information as possible. Another common issue is a breakdown in communication between the advertiser and the designer. When you’re promoting a bull sale and need multiple ads in a short window, it’s easy to say, “Design one ad and send it everywhere.” The problem? Not all publications are the same. Newsprint, glossy paper, and photocopy paper all reproduce ads differently and your design won’t look the same in every format.

Stick to the Basics:

• High-quality photos that are clearly labeled

• Readable font sizes and type

• Limit reverse text (light-on-dark)

• Clear contact information (ranch name, people, email/phone, website)

Always make sure your ad fits the context it’s running in. The same principle applies to social media—when repurposing content, adjust it for each platform rather than assuming one version fits all.

Plan with purpose

A strategic advertising plan helps you create effective, timely messaging that positions your program well within the industry. With thoughtful planning and clear messaging, your advertising can build awareness, strengthen your brand, and deliver real value. That’s how you truly get the most bang for your buck.

Commercial Buyer Draw

The Saskatchewan Angus Association Commercial Committee was pleased to bring back the commercial bull buyer draw for 2025. To be qualified all that was needed was to purchase a bull from an SAA member; in which the bull had to be transferred to the commercial producer.

We did three draws and each producer received $1000. Feedback from the winners was very positive and the producers were very appreciative.

Congratulations to Wayne Nygaard, Tisdale, SK, Terry & Marsha Moule, Trossachs, SK and Travis & Tara Portz, Piapot, SK.

Thanks for choosing Angus!

Details on the 2026 draw are below; and remember to transfer your bulls.

Saskatchewan Angus Honorary President - Dan Howell

Erin and their daughter, Cassidy own and operate Hi Low Angus. A mixed farm located 30 miles northwest of Regina along the Qu’Appelle Valley.

The first registered Angus cows arrived in 1977 when Dan’s father purchased a group from Belmoral Angus. Hi Low Angus currently has 120 registered Angus cows.

For the past 27 years Hi Low bulls have been marketed with the Triple A Angus group. A select number of females are sold through consignment sales, most recently selling at the Masterpiece and Touch of Class.

For the past 18 years, the Howell family have enjoyed meeting and marketing their Angus beef to customers through the Regina Farmer’s Market and other local markets with their farm to fork freezer beef business. Congratulations Dan!

We are pleased to present our 2026 Honourary Saskatchewan President Award to Dan Howell. Dan, along with his wife,

Back in the earlier years Angus cattle did not enjoy the popularity they currently receive. A much younger Dan remembers asking his Dad “why did you choose Angus”. His reply “They make the best mothers”.

Canadian Angus Honorary President - the late Bob Switzer

It was a privilege to present the Honorary Canadian President Award to the family of Bob Switzer — someone we all miss, someone we all learned from, and someone who would have had plenty to say about being honored now.

Knowing Bob, he would probably joke that receiving an award after you’re gone is the universe’s way of saying, ‘Better late than never.’ And he would have delivered it with that grin we all knew so well.

But humor aside, this award speaks to something real: the tremendous impact Bob had on all of us — his leadership, his generosity, and his deep, lifelong love for the Angus breed.

Angus cattle were definitely Bob’s life. Promoting Angus cattle wasn’t just something he did — it was who he was. He started Black Angus feeder sales in several auction marts, including sales in the United States, helping expand the breed’s reach and reputation. And one of the things he was most proud of was helping young breeders get their start. He leased cattle to many of them, offering payment over time, because he believed in giving people a chance and in building the future of the industry one person at a time.

Bob served as President of the Saskatchewan Angus Association, the Canadian Angus Association, and many other beef organizations. He dedicated countless hours to strengthening the breed and supporting the people who raise Angus cattle.

Bob would be humbled… and probably a little amused. And I think he’d want us to keep doing exactly what he believed in: promoting Angus cattle, working with purpose, supporting one another, and never forgetting to laugh along the way.

Mentorship & Member Engagement

continued from Page 12

explore the kill floor, the cooler, and processing; tour a neighbor’s farm with sheep, goats, chickens and see all what there is to see there. For lunch we fed the kids beef burgers. I also created a quiz as a follow up for the teachers to access the knowledge and retention of the day by the students. Tours are very open ended and can be coordinated with the classroom teacher and yourselves to make the best experience possible for students and everyone involved. We currently have breeders interested in hosting a tour throughout the province. As an educator I know sometimes the school needs a bit of a kick start and support from community to get the ball rolling. I would encourage all breeders who may be interested in hosting a tour to contact the schools in their area. There is certainly room for more of you to get on board to host a tour. If you are interested in learning more, please contact me at 306728-8911 or email me at northernviewangus@gmail.com.

Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month is coming up. In March, teachers register through AITC to have anyone in Ag (producers, sales, equipment, insurance, etc.) come to their classroom and do an activity with them and just chat with kids about their Ag story. AITC links you up with a teacher in your area who signs up so it’s all local to you as well. It’s a good opportunity to have kids learn about all the different people who are involved in the industry! Please consider registering to volunteer to help our youth learn more about Agriculture and where their food comes from. You can register at https://aitc.sk.ca/get-involved/volunteer. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

There are a few other educational AITC opportunities that are in the works but at the time of publication some details are still being sorted out. Please watch for social media posts on some of these initiatives.

The Saskatchewan Angus Tour for 2026 will be hosted in the Moose Jaw region on July 29th and 30th. Mark your calendars and watch for details coming soon.

Planning for the spring Saskatchewan Angus breeder session on April 19th in Moose Jaw has started and our committee is brainstorming ideas for topics. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me.

It is always good to receive constructive feedback from our members. If you have any suggestions or ideas that we could look at as an Association to engage, educate and involve our youth, agriculture partners and the general population on our industry please reach out to me. I always appreciate a good visit.

May your calving season be fantastic, the weather ideal and the markets continue to be strong. All the best and take care.

On Farm Demonstrations: Lessons Learned from ADOPT Projects

continued from Page 16

Demonstrating how to tissue sample.

Participating producers collected genetic tissue samples from selected replacement heifers to be tested under Neogen’s Igenity Beef profile, a profile designed specifically for commercial operations.

Producer cooperators will receive genetic testing results once they have selected replacements to determine how accurate their current selection methods are and to demonstrate if genetic testing can strengthen traditional replacement heifer selection methods.

Effects of Maternal Bovine Appeasing Substance (mBAS) FerAppease on Weaning Response in Beef Calves FerAppease is a pheromone-based product that was designed to reduce stress during weaning. One of the ongoing ADOPT trials is demonstrating the effects of FerAppease on abruptly weaned calves. Producers will report how the product impacted time to go on feed, feed intake, treatment rate and time to stop bawling after abrupt weaning relative to a control group.

ADOPT projects help Saskatchewan producers evaluate new technology and practices in their areas, ensuring that producers have the information they need to make impactful decisions.

For more information about ADOPT projects, or other livestock related questions, contact your local livestock and feed extension specialist or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

From everyone at the Saskatchewan Junior Angus Association, we hope calving is going smoothly, and you are finding ways to stay warm. Everyone here at the SJAA had a fun fall and has a busy 2026 to look forward to.

The Saskatchewan Junior Angus Junior show was held October 28-31 at the Lloydminster Stockade Roundup. We had team grooming, judging, showmanship, marketing, photography, literature, and conformation classes. The Juniors are very grateful for the sponsorship, judges, and volunteers that make this show possible.

Our Annual General Meeting was held on Wednesday, November 26 at Canadian Western Agribition. We discussed plans for our upcoming year and held elections. I (Tanner Lowe) was re-elected president, Abby Tomblin was elected as vice president, Sienna Bohrson was re-elected as secretary and Ashton Jungman was selected as the junior representative to the Saskatchewan Angus board. Several new directors at large were elected as well - Avery Bohrson, Kaycee Buchanan, Hannah Hoberg, Makenna Lowe and Emma Thomason – they join Dylan and Joran Frey, Ava Loveridge, Eric Smith, Sage Timmons, Kylie and Owen Willms.

Thanks and best wishes to retiring directors Chase Bruynooghe and Reegan Frey. On Friday the 28th we held our Agribition fun day. This is always a great activity for the little ones to come and make new friends. Thanks to Reegan, Makenna, Hannah and Ashton for helping plan the events and for handing out the goodies and swag to all the young members that participated.

The Saskatchewan Angus Association offers two $1000-dollar scholarships each year to Saskatchewan Junior Angus members. These scholarships greatly assist juniors financially in their post-secondary education journey. Congratulations our two winners this year, Emma Thomason and Lane Steen.

The Canadian Angus (G.O.A.L) Conference is going to be in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It will take place from February 14-16 and we are excited to have 19 Saskatchewan Juniors planning to attend. This Conference is a great way to take a step out of your comfort zone and meet new people. If you're a junior and are on the fence about attending, I highly recommend you apply for next year. A big thanks to the Saskatchewan Angus Association who provides travel bursaries to many Saskatchewan juniors to help offset travel costs.

Coming up in July will be Showdown 2026 in Ayer’s Cliff, Quebec. Saskatchewan Junior Angus has a couple of travel assistance bursaries up grabs . . . make sure to apply by June 1st by emailing office@saskatchewanangus.com with why you would like to go. There are also national travel and trucking bursaries for Showdown, make sure to check them out!

There are several other scholarships, awards and bursaries also available to Canadian Junior Angus members. For more information on these programs visit the Canadian Junior Angus website.

If you are thinking about joining the Saskatchewan Junior Angus board, don’t hesitate to reach out; it’s never too late! We are always looking for new faces, are glad to have extra help and another opinion.

We have started marketing our bulls alongside Triple L Angus and Wright Livestock through the Sudden Impact Bull Sale, the first Saturday in April. With all the opportunity’s the Saskatchewan Angus Association and Canadian Angus Association have given me, I thought there was no better way of giving back then being a part of the Board as the President. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’m always looking to meet new people in this great industry!

2025 Saskatchewan Junior Angus Bob Switzer Memorial Award

l-r: Jordan Sies, SAA President; Ashley Switzer, Chase Bruynooghe, Beau Switzer & Belinda Wagner, SAA General Manager

The Saskatchewan Junior Angus Bob Switzer Memorial Award was established last summer to recognize junior Angus members who excel in the ‘gift of the gab’ and are willing to go the extra mile to reach out and talk to people at whatever event they are attending, volunteer and generally be a great person to be around, just like Bob was. Bob was an avid supporter of our Junior programs, a great marketer and promoter of the

Angus breed and attended and supported our provincial, national and international events. This year we were pleased to present the 2025 award to Chase Bruynooghe.

Chase is from Outlook, Saskatchewan, and is the owner and operator of Wingello Cattle Co., which he founded in 2015. He raises purebred Red Angus cattle and enjoys marketing and showcasing his genetics at various shows, all while continuing to grow his herd. Chase is also actively involved in the operations of his family’s commercial Red Angus herd. He graduated this spring from the University of Saskatchewan’s College of

Agriculture and Bioresources, majoring in Animal Science. Chase was a member of the U of S Judging Team and a proud 4-H alumnus of the Hanley 4-H Beef Club. He also served as a director for the Saskatchewan Junior Angus Association and is a Saskatchewan representative on the Canadian Junior Angus Board.

Chase exemplifies excellence, dedication, and integrity through his involvement and at every event, he demonstrates strong leadership and takes the time to mentor younger juniors, setting a positive example for those following in his footsteps. Whether through his outstanding performance, innovative thinking, or unwavering support of others, Chase consistently goes above and beyond expectations—embodying the values celebrated by the Bob Switzer Memorial Award. For his contributions, character, and impact on the junior Angus community, Chase is truly deserving of this award.
