President’s Message
Dear Angus Friends,
It has been a privilege and an honor to serve as your president this year. I want
to thank the board for their commitment and dedication, especially Melissa
Schulze, Secretary, and Patty Kerns, Treasurer. These two ladies do the heavy
lifting for the association. Thanks so much.
2015 was a successful year for Maryland Angus. We had our Breeders Show in
conjunction with the Open Angus Show at the Maryland State Fair. This was
the second year for this arrangement and it seems to be a win-win. Even if you
don’t show, come down to the fair and watch the Angus Show and enjoy a light
lunch with fellow Angus breeders.
Our Angus Event was held in October. We had a very successful sale. The
quality of consignments were outstanding. The Angus Event offers a wonderful
opportunity to market your Angus genetics or to select a high quality consign-
ment to add to your herd.
Our Junior Association continues to offer a wonderful opportunity for our
juniors to compete at the State, Regional and National levels. We have been
blessed to have outstanding advisors, past and present. They give so much time
and effort to help our juniors. Shane, Mary and I thank these advisors for their
encouragement, advice, and friendship throughout Shane’s junior years.
The beef business is in a strong place right now. There is a strong demand for
Angus genetics. Moving forward we need to be at the fore front and be part of
the solution concerning animal wellbeing issues, the use of antibiotics/
hormones, and environmental aspects of modern agricultural production.
We need to approach the issues in a non-defensive manner and join with
processors, food delivery industry, and the consumers to solve these issues to
benefit the beef industry.
Hope to see you in 2016. If you see me at a show, a sale, delivering a calf or
flushing a cow, please introduce yourself and we can talk “Angus”.
Sincerely,
John L. Heizer, D.V.M.
