The Canadian Speckle Park Association 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Gary and Nancy Kiziak and family at the Speckle Park banquet hosted at Agribition. The association recognizes the Kiziak family for the immense impact they have made and continue to make on the Speckle Park breed.
A new award was created by the association this fall to support Speckle Park youth. The Youth of Excellence Award, along with $500, was awarded at Agribition to Emily Watson. All exhibitors at Canadian Western Agribition could vote for youth involved in the Speckle Park breed. Selection criteria include displaying a passion and advocacy for the breed, work ethic, breed involvement, communication skills, positive attitude, willingness to help, overall ideal representation of the Speckle Park breed, and a social media presence spreading a positive view of the Speckle Park breed.
The association also presented the 2023 Commercial Cattlemen’s Award to Leigh and Anita McKain. The association thanks Leigh and Anita for their trust in and dedication to the Speckle Park breed!
