OCTOBER SHORTHORN COUNTRY
ELECTED DELEGATES, AWARD WINNERS, AND SHOW RESULTS
NEWS FROM THE CEO
Time is running out to make your reservations and register for the Annual Meeting Forum and Awards Banquet on Oct. 23, 2021 at the Hilton Airport in Kansas City and the “Breeders Happy Hour” social with drinks and hors-d’oeuvres at the ASA office on Oct. 22 after the American Royal National Shorthorn Show. Room reservations and registrations can be made on the shorthorn.org website. This year’s event is the kickoff for the 150th Anniversary Celebration of the American Shorthorn Association established in 1872. Several special activities are centered around this weekend.
AN OCCASION WORTH CELEBRATING.
October on the Shorthorn calendar doesn’t have many open dates. Fall sales season is in full swing, the national shows are rolling, and this year, we add a very special celebration to the agenda with the Annual Meeting kicking off the celebration of 150 years of the American Shorthorn Association. It’s strange to be discussing ASA Annual Meeting as an October event, but the new opportunities opened by moving up in the year are worth the switch.
FALL EVENTS AND PLANNING FOR 2022.
October brings many exciting events – American Royal, Annual Meeting, Thanksgiving, North American International Livestock Exposition, Christmas and the New Year is just around the corner. Along with these fall events, there are many breeders hosting online and live sales. All of this coincides with the beginning stages of planning for the 2022 National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference.
