"The turnout at this year's 4th biannual BUD program was conducive to effective educating, socializing and interacting," says Mark Sayers, south region beef advisory committee (BAC) representative. "It was a very functional number as it allowed for plenty of one-on-one time and each delegate was able to be actively involved and engaged during each session."
As well as featuring keynote speakers Eileen Leslie, Tim O'Bryne and Richard Stadlwieser, sessions included an interactive clipping and grooming demonstration, a round of Select-A-Sessions (with a choice of managing conflict or age verification), calf nutrition, a year in the life of a 4-H steer, become more engaged with the judging program, how to breed the right heifer, simple ways to reduce the likelihood of an infection at venues such as the 4-H show and sales, and a session on projects, record books and achievement day planning.
BUD was generously supported by Apache Canada Ltd, United Farmers of Alberta, along with cosponsors Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Farm Credit Canada, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Ketchum Manufacturing Inc., Alberta Beef Producers, Lakeland College, AMA Insurance.
