Blue Q Ranch would like to extend special thanks to all of its
loyal customers for their continued support. Due to the high de-
mand for our cattle in 2015, we have made the difficult decision
not to hold our popular production sale this year. This will be
an important rebuilding year for us, with an emphasis on an
expanded ET program to assure the production of quality genet-
ics to enhance our customers operations for years to come. This
rebuilding will extend to our Sim/Angus and commercial cattle
programs as well as our registered Angus, in keeping with our
goal of providing cattle with economically relevant traits for
both registered and commercial producers. We will certainly miss
seeing all of our friends this spring, but we feel sure that the re-
sults will be worth the wait for us all.
As always, bulls and quality cattle will be available for sale at
the ranch.

President’s Message
John Smith, NCAA President
Another year has passed and we are excited to welcome in 2016. The
sale season is well underway, and from what I have seen, the sales have
been pretty good. The Down East Sale Committee, chaired by Roy Outlaw,
did a great job. The sale barn was full of potential buyers with many of
them taking home some nice Angus cattle to add to their herds.
Much of our breeding season took place in the last few weeks, and
I hope everyone had great success with their AI programs this year. There are so many great bulls to
choose from, it is often a hard task to determine which genetics will take our herds in the most positive
direction.
The Annual Meeting of the North Carolina Angus Association is set for February 13, 2016. Make your
plans now to attend. This is our annual event and every member should make an effort to attend. You
will not be disappointed with the many opportunities to learn new innovations in the cattle industry from
the educational program, our meeting sponsors and fellow breeders. As it has been said before, you will
get no more out of the NCAA than you are willing to put into the organization.
The NCAA board and I would like to wish everyone a prosperous new year.
