A Jam Packed July- by Keltey
This month has been an incredibly busy but
fun one!
I, along with Katie and Sophie, spent the
duration of the Calgary Stampede working in the Cattle Trail. There, we educated
visitors about Angus, and the beef industry itself. It was a fun way to spend
the week, and great to see so many people of all ages interested and excited
about our great industry!
After Stampede, there were a couple days to
recuperate, and then Rob, Brian, and I set out from Angus Central to Canadian
Junior Angus Showdown in Virden, MB! It was a pretty long drive (11 hours) but
a really fun time with two of Angus’ biggest promoters. This was my first
Showdown ever, and I can honestly say it was one of the best junior shows I
have been to. I was so impressed with the keen juniors who are dedicated to the
Angus breed and making their national junior show a success. Showdown saw close
to 100 juniors and over 120 head of cattle. I spent much of time at Showdown
taking photos of juniors, managing the Canadian Angus twitter account, and
assisting Belinda and the junior board wherever needed. It was great to meet so
many new people and enjoy Showdown with them! I am already excited for Showdown
next summer, in Olds, AB.
It’s hard to believe there are only a few weeks
left in my internship. Time really has flown by this summer, but I am excited
to see what comes next!
