The Saskatchewan
Junior Angus Association was officially formed in 1996 and works to educate
and provide opportunities to Angus Juniors in Saskatchewan. We host 2 shows each
year - one in the Summer, that rotates around the province, and one at Canadian
Western Agribition in November. Marketing, Judging, Showmanship, Grooming, Peewee
Classes, and conformation, plus much more are a part of the whole concept at
these shows. Educational clinics and entertainment are planned and all events
are run by the Juniors, including obtaining funding for hosting the events. |

Profiles
Hello fellow Angus breeders and Junior members. Well another year has flown by. It seems like it was just the other day that I was worrying about getting 4-H cattle ready and preparing for grad and now I am in University and getting Agribition cattle ready. Time sure has flown by.
I am Erika Easton and I was re-elected as President of the SJAA for the upcoming year. I live on a farm 10 miles west of Wawota. I help my parents, Dale & Shelly, run Eastondale Angus. We run about 150 purebred Black Angus cattle. I am currently in my first year of university at the University of Regina. I am enrolled in the faculty of Business Administration, majoring in Accounting. This is my third year on the SJAA board. I have also been involved with the Wawota 4-H beef club for 9 years.
We recently held our Junior show in Weyburn in conjunction with the Saskatchewan World Angus Forum Futurity show. We had a successful show with 30 juniors attending. We introduced some new competitions this year which were photography and literature. Congratulations to all the juniors for a great show and thank you so much to our sponsors and volunteers for your support. I am sure everyone had fun and met some new kids. We also held our Annual meeting at the show, where we elected our new board members. Congratulations to Brandon Sander for becoming Vice-president, & Erin Toner for becoming Secretary. Our Directors at Large are Karl Sauter, Miranda Frey, Lucus Frey, Eric Yewsuk, Tyler Smyth, Carla Schmitt, Kyle Jeannot, and Kristine Sylvestre. This year Saskatchewan had the pleasure of hosting Showdown in Moose Jaw in July. It was a great success with 105 juniors attending. It was a busy, fun-filled weekend. The SJAA sold raffle tickets on a set of clippers and a Collectible John Deere Tractor. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets.
Once again we will be having a Pizza Party for all juniors at Agribition on Friday, November 23 at 3:00. We are also trying to plan a Christmas Party so if anyone has some ideas please let myself know or one of the other board members. The SJAA has again set aside money to send juniors to the Canadian Junior Angus Association (CJAA) GOAL Conference in February, make sure you apply to come. There is also a position on the CJAA board open for Saskatchewan with the term beginning in July 2008, at Showdown, which will be held at Spruce Meadows, Calgary, AB.
The SJAA also has two $500 scholarships available for SJAA members. The deadline to apply for those is November 15, 2007 and applications are available on the Saskatchewan Angus web-site at www.saskatchewanangus.com, or by contacting the office.
I hope to see everyone out and about this fall at the shows and sales. All juniors are encouraged to attend our functions where you will meet new people and expand your knowledge. You never know where the experience may lead you in life. If anyone has any questions, concerns or ideas for our association please don’t hesitate to call to me or any other board member.
Erika Easton, SJAA President
Hello, I am Brandon Sander, and I am the vice president of the Saskatchewan Junior Angus Association (SJAA) for this year. I am pleased to be on the board again and I am looking forward to a fun year. I am twenty years old and farm with my dad at Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. We currently run one hundred commercial cows along with forty purebred Red and Black Angus cows. I took two years of livestock production in Vermilion, Alberta which I enjoyed very much. I was also president of the judging team in Vermilion.
The SJAA is a very good way for the juniors in our province to get into this prosperous breed and business. I am looking forward to seeing all the juniors and all other Angus members at the future Angus functions and Agribition this fall. I wish the best to everyone hoping that the harvest gets taken off with all the bad weather, and hope to see you all soon.

Hi everyone, my name is Karl Sauter. I am a director this year for a second time after being on the executive as the Secretary 2 years ago. I am 20 years old and a up and coming breeder in the Angus industry with a strong commercial herd background. I am currently in transference of the family farm which I farm with my uncle and grandfather at Kelso, SK where I am slowly building a small purebred herd to add to our all ready busy, large commercial herd and grain operation.

I hope to see everyone soon at our next SJAA function.
