A volunteer committee spent over two-and-a-half years gathering member histories and information and compiling the book which was launched at the President’s Reception on Thursday, June 6 which kicked off the Canadian Angus National Convention in Drumheller, AB.
The 560-page full-colour book is the third history book published in the Canadian Angus Association’s 113-year history. Nearly every page features photographs from the Association’s archives or that were submitted by members with their histories. Tina Zakowsky, Canadian Angus Association Administration Team Leader and History Book Managing Editor says “The new Canadian Angus history book contains a comprehensive summary of the history of the Angus breed, an overview of Angus in Canada, and 363 Canadian Angus member histories in the members’ own words. Our volunteer team has spent thousands of hours producing this beautiful tribute to those who have chosen to raise Angus cattle. We are confident that the stories on these pages will make you laugh and cry, and will make you feel incredibly proud to be part of the Canadian Angus fraternity.”
