The Canadian Red Angus Promotion Society is putting together a commemorative history book highlighting the 50th anniversary of the Red Roundup Sale.
If you have stories, highlights or pictures of what the sale and cattle have meant to you and how it’s affected your breeding program, they’d love to hear from you. Time is running out, as the deadline is April 15.
Please contact Kirk Wildman at (780) 305-1661 or Lois McRae at (204) 573-5192 for more information. Contact email is [email protected].

Nicola Ranch recognized by B.C. Angus Association
The historic Nicola Ranch has been named the 2022 Commercial Angus Breeder of the Year by the B.C. Angus Association, recognizing the ranch’s contribution to the B.C. beef industry.
The ranch, located in B.C.’s southern interior, focuses exclusively on Black Angus cattle. Ranch manager John Parkes told the Merritt Herald the ranch’s cows have been straight Black for six or seven generations. Calving season starts in February.
Nominees must be long-time B.C. ranches, with a herd of Angus or Angus-influenced cattle. While it’s not a strict requirement, the B.C. Angus Association also looks favourably on nominees who buy and market cattle within B.C.
This year, the board voted unanimously to bestow the award on Nicola Ranch. Congratulations to Nicola Ranch for receiving this award.
