I am honoured to report that I have been invited to attend Lillian McBride's 100th birthday party this weekend.
Lillian is the wife of the late Jack McBride. They were married for an amazing 74 years. Lillian and Jack ran Riverbend Farms near Sylvan Lake, Alberta, and were honoured with the Canadian Angus Association's 50 Year Award in 1998. The McBride Angus cattle appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1954 and won the Parrish & Heimbecker Rye King of the World award in 1955 and 1957.
This weekend, I will join her family in honouring Lillian and her remarkable life. I hope you will all join me in saluting the Angus breeders who persevered and help us get to where we are today.
