Dec. 2009
Greetings to the goat producers of western
Canada. I hope everyone has had the great
weather we have had this November, and I hope December is just
as nice.
The Boer goat show at Agribition in Regina has come and gone,
and we hope the exhibitors
had a good time and enjoyed our show. Our judge, Marie Layman of
Salem, Oregon,
was (is) a very interesting person, with a lot of information
for the new producer and
the experienced. The school children toured the grounds during
the days of our show,
and she talked to every group and explained what she was doing
in the ring. We hope
the children and their teachers enjoyed it.
SGBA is busy and will continue to be. We sponsor Agribition Goat
Show so that takes
up the time of almost half of our board of directors plus other
members. The team worked
hard and the show went through without a hitch. Well, maybe a
couple of little things
that were handled quickly and efficiently. Good job, Alison,
Tanya, Murray, Len, Shelley,
Lynn, and all the rest. If I missed anyone, pat yourself on the
back.
We would like to send a get well message to Myles Brook, a board
member who is
receiving treatment for heart problems. Good luck, Mel and Gail.
May the prayers of us
all be answered and Mel soon be enjoying good health.
In January, we are sponsoring two seminars: one in Moose Jaw,
the other in Saskatoon.
January 15th, a Friday, will see us at Moose Jaw, and the 16th,
a Saturday, will see
us at Saskatoon. Look elsewhere on these pages for the
registration form and further
information.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year with peace on
Earth and good
will to all.
Darlyne Hoberg, SGBA President
