A Successful Trip to BC

 

Rob Smith, CAA CEO, and Brian Good, CAA Director of Field Services, made a quick field trip to BC where a number of ranch stops happened including Doug Haughtons Angus Beef, Willow Ranch, Stump Lake Ranch,Guichon Ranch, Douglas Lake Ranch, Quilchena Ranch, and Nicola Ranch. All of these outfits use a high degree of Angus in their programs. 

Lepp Farm Market in Abbotsford, BC, was another stop on our trip. This family owned fresh grocery market is a must-see if you are ever in the area. The store supplies exclusively Angus beef to its consumers and is a strong example of one of our Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed licensed participants. The beef for the store is supplied by Ken Friesen's ranch in Cashe Creek.   

Frank and Beth Plain were also presented with their 50 year membership award. To read the entire press release, click here.
