Welcome to Missouri
Minnie Lou Bradley, 2005 president of the American Angus Association welcomed participants and recognized the leadership of Missouri Angus enthusiasts.
American Angus Association President Minnie Lou Bradley welcomed participants to the National Angus Conference in Kansas City Wednesday morning. |
“There are some who think we are on top, and we ought to just stay there,” said Minnie Lou Bradley, 2005 president of the American Angus Association. It will take more than we’ve done in the past to stay on top, she added.
The Angus producer from Memphis, Texas, welcomed participants to the 2005 National Angus Conference Wednesday, Sept. 28.
Bradley recognized the contributions host state Missouri has made to the Angus breed in the United States. The first annual meeting, she noted, was in Saint Louis, and the first home of the Association was in Independence, Mo. Missouri hosted the first National Junior Angus Heifer Show in Columbia, Mo., in 1969.
Three native Missourians have taken leadership roles as executives of the American Angus Association, Bradley noted. And Ben Eggers will become the ninth Missourian to serve as president of the Association.
Bradley encouraged attendees to enjoy the conference and accompanying tours.
