Three Canadian Junior Angus members will each receive a $2,000 heifer voucher from the Canadian Angus Foundation just for being members of Canada’s largest beef breed’s junior program. 

Layne Chantler of Egbert, Ont., Grace Glover of Boissevain, Man., and Karsen Van Sickle of Red Deer County, Alta., were randomly drawn from the roster of Canadian Junior Angus members. The heifer voucher can be used toward the purchase of an Angus female of the youth’s choice this fall.

To be eligible for the heifer voucher draw, youths with an interest in Canadian Angus had to purchase or renew a Canadian Junior Angus membership on or before October 1. A random draw was conducted to select the winners.
