Kansas Angus Association Board of Directors

The President s Pen Hello fellow Angus enthusiasts. I'm sure during the next year you will come to realize that I am not at all qualified to lead this fine organization. I ask that you bear with me and perhaps we can learn something together. We all gain from exchanging ideas both new and old. Our successes have come from tried and true methods from the past and incorporating new and different visions for the future. To quickly introduce myself, I don't come from a traditional multi generation family. My family has always been involved with stocker and feedlot cattle, which might explain why I may have different views and appreciation for Angus cattle in all aspects of our beef industry. We certainly live in a different world than just a few years ago. If I hear about fiscal cliffs, gun control regulations, and Obamacare one more time I think I'll get sick. As Angus breeders we have something to hold on to that has stood the test of time and holds great hope for the future. What a heritage from the past, which we can pass on to future generations. As many of us are calving its a particularly good time to appreciate the fact that we have Angus calves being born to good Angus cows. What a blessing. Remember, not all of our friends and neighbors have that luxury. Some very good cattlemen still haven't figured out that they don't need to dread calving season if they would only switch to good Kansas Angus bulls. Keep spreading the message. The drought seems to have a strangle hold on our business from high feed prices to parched rangeland and empty stock ponds, Rest assured it will get wet again someday and when it does the need for good Angus genetics will be in demand like never before. As people on the national tour witnessed this past Fall Kansas is well positioned to help fill those needs. Lets all remember to pray for moisture not only for us but our neighbors as well.

Notes & News from Anne Thank You and Welcome In January, during our annual meeting we said farewell to some of our state leadership and welcomed new members to the KAA board. We thank Tim Benton for serving as our 2012 president and look forward to his continued leadership and he finishes his tenure on the board of directors as past president. We welcome Craig Rucker as the 2013 president and anticipate his sense of humor and practical experience as he leads the KAA this year. Ron Hinrichsen joins the executive officers as vice president. Shane Prill and Rusty Wil-liams completed terms on the board; their commitment to our organization is appreciated. Elected to serve on the board as directors for three year terms were John McCurry, district 6; Grant Gar-diner, district 8 and Clint Woodrow, purebred at large. The Kansas Angus Auxiliary also inducted new officers in January. Karen Santee, Langdon will serve as president following the outstanding dedication of president Varee McCabe.

PROFITChoice not Chance.

Buying our first GAR bulls in 1999 was the right

decision. We recognized early we didnt want

to be in the commodity business.

We knew we didnt want to make the

investment to improve our herd and

let someone else capitalize on it.

Numbers dont lie. We share our numbers

with Mark and we makedecisions. We all live and

die with the results. We know GAR genuinely

cares about our success.

Dear KJAA Members, Congratulations on another great Futurity! What better way is there to kick off another semester of school than with good Angus cattle and even better friends?

But maybe more importantly, don't forget about the friends you have made in our association. Send them an email or reach out to them on Facebook.

18 Febuary 2013 Kansas Angus News

Kansas Angus Auxiliary As I prepare to write this article for the KAN I find myself reflecting on the years since 1996 when my husband, Barry and I made the decision to become Angus breeders. Like so many other people who love the country life, we find ourselves working OFF the farm so we may live ON the farm. We call our humble abode Silver Lake Angus. Our daughters, Megin and Kyleigh were raised as members of the KJAA and NJAA. It was here they developed their skills and became passionate about the Angus breed. Both girls were state and national auxiliary scholarship recipients and because of the support of the Auxiliaries they were able to continue their college educations. The year 2013 finds me serving the Kansas Auxiliary as President. I see this as my opportunity to pay forward the support and leadership to others that has been given to my family and I. The Auxiliary meets twice a year, in January at the Futurity and then in June during the Kansas Preview Show. I would like to invite all women to take a break from the show barn, the farm/ranch and meet other women who share the same interest in Angus. This is going to be a great year supporting our Kansas Juniors on the local and national levels. Thank you Chelsea Figge, Miss Kansas Angus 2012, for doing a great job of representing the Auxiliary at sales and other Angus events this past year. Speaking of royaltycongratulations to Esther McCabe, Miss American Angus! We are excited to see what the future holds for you and we will be here supporting you. Karen Santee Kansas Angus Auxiliary President [email protected]

A correction was noted in the January 2012 minutes: Gardiner Angus Ranch has donated the 2012 American Angus Auxiliary Endowment Heifer that will sell in June during the All American Breeders Futurity in Louisville. Lori Fink presented the Treasurer's report to the Auxiliary; she also reminded members to pay their dues. Karen Santee filled in for the Reporter's Report and asked that anyone who will attend the Auxiliary Breakfast in Louisville, KY to bring back any mementos for the scrapbook. Chelsey Figge shared her Miss Kansas Angus scrapbook as of now. Ways and Means Committee Report: Mary McCurry reported that there were still platters for sale at $30 each. Mary will serve as the Ks chairman for the American Angus Aux breakfast in Louisville. Discussion was held on decorations and favors. Lori noted that we could spend $15 to $20 each on favors.

KS Angus members and breeders will be asked to help sponsor the breakfast favors and decorations, Mary will work on an invitation to sponsor. Lynne Hinrichsen presented the Scholarship report.

This spring sale season could be the most exciting we have ever experienced! While most of us are still dry, southeast of us they are wet and optimistic. Many of us are just a good rain or two away from the best markets we have ever known. One thing is certain, if we wait until it rains to get a few extra females around us at that point they will be much higher! Our production sale is March 28. We will be selling 250 bulls and 750 females. Hope to see you there.
