Condolences to Bob Switzer’s loved ones

The Angus world was shocked to hear of the passing of Bob Switzer from Sandy Bar Angus at Aneroid, Sask., in February.

Switzer was a longtime Angus breeder with his Short Grass Bull Sale being one of the longest-running bull sales in Canada. He was inducted into the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame in 2016. Switzer was known to countless cattlemen and cattlewomen from many breeds. He was a global ambassador of the Canadian Angus breed and had sold seedstock around the world. 

Our condolences to Gail and the whole family. More info to follow in the next issue.
