Dedicated to Raising Quality Charolais Cattle Since... On behalf of the Alberta Charolais Association Board of Directors and over 210 active CIRCLE CEE Charolais Breeders in the beautiful provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, I would like to welcome you to browse the pages of our Breeders Directory. Thanks to the support of these breeders we have a current snapshot of the operations taking our breed and the entire cattle www.circlecee.com industry into the future. We hope that the information is presented in a readable, easily 1971 accessible format that you will find useful in your next search for Charolais genetics. The Charolais breed has a proven, consistent track record of performance in the feedlot which is only gaining momentum. Charolais influenced calves are simply making cow-calf producers and feedlot owners more money. We are truly the “Identifiable” breed and believe our influence will continue as long as we continue to stay focused on the long term goal of the beef industry – profitability. The Alberta Charolais Association hosts a few key events during the year. In late June we annually host a Breeder’s tour where breeders are showcased in various regions of the two provinces. This complimentary tour has attracted over 200 enthusiasts the past 3 years and is a no miss event. It is a great chance to network, be introduced to the people behind some impressive operations and tour some great cattle. Our youth are encouraged to attend and participate in the CCYA Youth Conference and Show held in July in various regions across Canada each year. The Conference is open to all juniors with a common love and passion for the Charolais breed. From life-long friendships, to incredible personal development opportunities and a host of scholarship options the CCYA is instrumental in shaping the future of the Charolais breed. The ACA is a strong supporter of the FarmFair International Bulls Available show where international guests and top quality cattle from around the world meet up in Edmonton to transact business and showcase genetics in November. Our year By Private Treaty ends off with our Annual meeting in early December in Red Deer where the ACA conducts its yearly review of affairs and also presents 4 awards to individuals, Off the Farm! breeders and industry partners who have made an outstanding contribution to the success of the breed. The ACA also hosts the ‘AB Select’ Bull Futurity and Sale in conjunction with its Annual Mtg. This event showcases bull calf prospects from both provinces and hosts an elite female sale which has consistently been one of the top averaging sales in the entire nation. 4-H members from across both provinces are invited to attend and select their project for the upcoming year. We certainly look forward to you attending some of our events in the near future and connecting with you personally! Be sure to check out our website @ CIRCLE CEE www.albertacharolais.com or Facebook page for up to date schedules of events and happenings so you don’t miss out on the fun!
