Join Us for A Heartland Homecoming
It is with much excitement that I invite you to participate in the 2007 National Angus Conference & Tour. The American Angus Association is pleased to host this event, and we encourage all members to attend “A Heartland Homecoming” in the state of Illinois — where the Association was formed 124 years ago.
The event will be packed with opportunities for Angus breeders to build new relationships, all while hearing from some top industry speakers who will talk about increasing efficiencies and producing a quality product for consumers.
A Heartland Homecoming theme seemed appropriate since the National Angus Conference & Tour has become an event where friendships are rekindled. We see many repeat attendees each year seeking information and wanting to tour a new part of the country. We also see new faces each year, and we hope those Angus enthusiasts will make this event a ritual.
The Illinois Angus Association has planned a top-notch tour that will showcase a variety of herds — some that have been in the family for decades, and others that are just beginning. In addition to seeing Angus genetics from various herds, we’ll also learn about some industries in Peoria that producers might use in their operations.
We are extremely pleased to have Purina Mills and Alpharma Animal Health on board as our major sponsors of this year’s event. They have also partnered with Angus Productions Inc. (API), publisher of your Angus Journal and the Angus Beef Bulletin, in providing online coverage of the conference at www.nationalangusconference.com.
Please note, we’re a month earlier this year than usual. We hope to see each of you at “A Heartland Homecoming” Aug. 29-31 in Peoria, Ill.
Happy trails,
John Crouch
Executive Vice President
American Angus Association
