Young Canadian Simmental Association TEAM leadership conference

In May, the Young Canadian Simmental Association hosted a successful 2025 TEAM Leadership Conference in Guelph, Ont. The event brought together 45 enthusiastic participants between the ages of 14 and 25 for a dynamic and educational experience centred around leadership development, the Simmental breed and the Canadian beef industry.

The conference included a breeder tour to Dwayann Simmentals, providing attendees with valuable insights into genetics and herd management. Participants also had the unique opportunity to tour the University of Guelph’s on-campus abattoir and observe a meat tenderness demonstration.

A standout moment of the conference was the visit to the Elora Beef Research Station. This state-of-the-art facility left a lasting impression on attendees, offering an in-depth look at cutting-edge research and innovation within the Canadian beef sector.
