a tremendous opportunity for Angus breeders to add outstanding genetics to
their herds, while simultaneously supporting Angus youth in Funds raised by the auction of both heifers will count toward achievement of the Angus Foundation’s first capital campaign, Vision of Value: Campaign for Angus, which aims to raise $11 million by Dec. 31, 2011, to further support the Foundation’s education, youth and research efforts.
