Karsen Van Sickle of Red Deer County is one of three Canadian Junior Angus members who have received $2,000 heifer vouchers from the Canadian Angus Foundation for being members of Canada’s largest beef breed’s junior program. The voucher can be used toward the purchase of an Angus female of the youth’s choice this fall. To be eligible for the voucher draw, youths with an interest in Canadian Angus had to purchase or renew a CJA membership on or before October 1.
“One of the Canadian Angus Foundation’s main objectives is to support youth development. It is gratifying to be able to offer members of our junior program the opportunity to expand their herds thanks to the generous support of our donors,” said Canadian Angus Foundation executive director and Canadian Junior Angus co-ordinator Belinda Wagner.
