Ayrshire Canada AGM 2014 - Cowsmo

Ayrshire Canada AGM 2014

The Ayrshire Canada AGM was held on March 28th in Cornwall, Ontario.  Many breeders were in attendance at the meeting to hear about the news. Lora Bender, who has now held the General Manager position for one year did a great job working with her team. 

In the morning, a presentation was given by Peter Brand, from Holstein Canada, regarding the future of the registration and services offered by Holstein Canada. Some questions came through and a good dictation between the breeders and Peter gave everyone the chance to see where this project is headed.   Ron Sleeth, a Holstein Canada director was also in attendance and gave a presentation as well.

During a luncheon, the All-Canadian and Production Awards were presented, a big congratulations goes out to all of the recipients.

The afternoon portion of the meeting was dedicated to the by-law and resolution changes, and some events were presented to the audience.  A gala was put on to celebrate the Ayrshire Master Breeder recipients. This year, two breeders received this award, Ferme Du Murier (Qc) and Ferme Claudale (Qc). Hard work for these two winners, as it is the first one for Du Murier and the second one for Claudale.  The Honorable Life Member awards were also presented and this year the individuals awarded were Bill Hampson (On) and Elmer Stewart (On). Finally, the Personality of the Year Award went to Henri Hofer (On).

The entire week-end and the hospitality provided was enjoyed by all the Ayrshire Breeders as they look forward to what this next year has to offer!
