"Traditions are the intergenerational exchange of values, beliefs, customs and important elements of culture. Traditions provide a storehouse of wisdom, anchor people to time-proven principles and serve as an important adhesive that binds people across the ages. Traditions, at their best, provide lighthouses that illuminate pathways, teach philosophies and truths that strengthen both individuals and groups, and provide a shared understanding and context for making sense of life."

During the four-day LEAD conference hosted this past summer, National Junior Angus Association members were able to deepen their knowledge about the Angus breed, network with fellow juniors and experience Louisiana’s unique culture.

“Boot Scootin’ to the Bayou” was packed full of new experiences for many attendees as they traveled to different parts of the state, enjoyed a swamp tour with a few special visits from the local alligators, took in the smells during a tour of the Tabasco Factory, built upon their leadership skills though workshops led by the junior board, and were welcomed with open arms by local Angus breeders and cattle producers as they toured their operations.

Veterinarians know being able to visualize the percentage of a cow herd that became pregnant each 21 days of the breeding season can provide important information to identify the contributing causes for a lower than desired breed-up by identifying periods of time when breeding success was decreased. In addition, by evaluating the breeding season success for cows grouped by age, body condition or other description, the veterinarian can identify not only “when” breeding was less successful, but which types of cows were less successful.

New Regions, New Opportunties: Talon Program Sends Blake Long to Nebraska

“As someone who grew up in the American Angus Association since I was little, it is great knowing that the Association does give back,” says Blake Long. “Whether it is showing, education or just trying to get work experience like the Talon internship, it has been great to know that they are looking out for more than just themselves.” As a member of Long's host family this summer, Alec Ibach, 11 Milliron Ranch, also appreciates the internship program. “If a rancher asks, ‘Should you host a Talon intern?’ From our experience [our answer] is a yes,” he says. “I think that is a testament to the Angus Association selecting the interns. You got a really good pool of interns to have the opportunity to come and work for you. From our experience, you wouldn’t be disappointed."
