EXCITING HEREFORD NEWS
Posted by jack Wall on August 10, 2016, 12:10 pm
The CPS Swine Association is pleased to announce a couple different news briefs. With a unanimous vote of the Certified Pedigreed Swine Executive Board and all three of the breed association Board of Directors, CPS will include the addition of the National Hereford Hog Association as full members of CPS with a projected date of October 1, 2016. This decision means that all pedigree work, transfers, accounting and correspondence with Breed Association personel will be conducted at 6320 North Sheridan Road in Peoria, Illinois. The final date of this merger is pending on the successful completion of a new pedigree and accounting package being constructed and built for CPS and its members. We are hopeful that this start date which corresponds with the start of a new fiscal year will be October 1, 2016. We will keep you all informed and welcome Herford Swine to the CPS Brand. The second part of the good news is that with the final approval of the Team Purebred Adult Advisory Executive Committee last evening and with a unanimous vote, Team Purebred has accepted Herefords request to be a part of the 2017 Team Purebred Jr. Show at the 2017 World Pork Expo. This will allow Jr. Members to exhibit Hereford barrows and gilts farrowed November 1, 2016 and after at Des Moines. There are weight restrictions on barrows (230-290). Please contact the Team Purebred Association for further details. With this added feature for Herefords, there will obviously be additional expenses involved. I strongly encourage Hereford enthusiast to support Team Purebred with both monetary contributions and man power to allow this event to grow and flourish. You can not expect your individual breed associations and few breeders to fund the entire program. It takes most of everyone to make it work like we want it to. Welcome aboard the CPS brand and to the World Pork Expo Jr. show. Spread the word. jlw
