Angus breeders from across the globe will gather in Mexico this October. The World Angus Secretariat’s biennial meeting takes place Oct. 12-25 and will be hosted by the Mexican Angus Association.
“We anticipate the presence of delegations from 22 member countries, plus other invited nations,” says Billy Estrada, Mexican Angus Association president. “We are very proud to host this important event, which is an unprecedented happening for the livestock industry in Mexico.”
The Mexican Angus Association will host the 2015 event Oct. 12-25 in the Chihuahua, Durango and Mazatlán-Sinaloa regions, and the American Angus Association® encourages its membership to consider attending this once-in-a-lifetime event.
The World Angus Secretariat will include a technical meeting, educational workshops, youth programs, Angus cattle auctions, commercial exhibits, social events and ranch tours, as well as pre- and post event tours for individuals or families.
“Mexico has a geography that is really unique because we can go from the really high desert to the really cold mountains, and then we go to tropical land,” Estrada says. “And we are raising Angus cattle in all those different places.”
