Dear Friends and Fellow Angus Breeders -This past year hasn’t been without challenges for us.

Though we enjoyed some of the highest prices in history, we have seen prices decline lately. Rebuilding the US cow herd and maintaining high prices will be struggle. However, demand for Angus genetics is still robust as indicated by successful Angus bull sales across the state. Currently, many of us are also struggling with extremely wet conditions this winter. I pray that God blesses all of us with favorable weather as we enter the heart of winter.

I am especially excited about the unique educational program that will be held in conjunction with this year’s Annual Meeting in Athens. Alan Bridges, Fred Gretsch and Andrew McPeake have worked hard to assemble a tremendous educational experience for all of us to enjoy. I encourage everyone to attend. We will cap off the evening with some great CAB prime rib and good fellowship.

We lost some great Georgia Angus enthusiasts this past year. Each of them touched our lives in many ways. We pray for peace for their families and friends and will always remember how blessed each of us are to have known them.

As I conclude my final President’s Letter for GAA, I can’t help but feel thankful. I am thankful for the hard working board members that have served this organization over the past two years. I am thankful for the progressive GAA members who are passionate about Angus Cattle and agriculture. And I am thankful for the Angus Cow. The Angus breed has the best genetics on the planet and Angus breeders are unparalleled in their ability to supply the beef industry with genetics needed to supply the best tasting, highest quality protein known to man.

I wish you all a healthy, prosperous 2016!

Best regards,

Smitty Lamb
