Farmfair International will host the Champion of the World winners for British and European breeds, as well as the Angus Champion of the World Qualifiers, during a custom tour and program to celebrate its 45th anniversary.
The Nov. 7-11 event will introduce Alberta producers to leaders from around the world in their specific breeds, and will provide an opportunity for qualifiers and champions to showcase Alberta genetics at the highest level. As well, it gives local producers the chance to engage with their international counterparts who have risen to the top of their breed through a series of stringent elimination.
