This year’s group of Cattlemen’s Young Leaders participants will have another year to take advantage of networking, travel and mentorship opportunities that have been disrupted by the pandemic.

The participants in the 2019 CYL program were originally set to graduate this summer, but will now be graduating in August 2021.

This will give them more time to use their $2,000 travel budgets, allow them to attend the CYL Spring Forum and the Canadian Beef Industry Conference in person in 2021, and have opportunities to meet face to face with their mentors. Selection of the 2020 participants in the program is ongoing, with the finalists to be chosen in August.
