The Alberta Shorthorn Association would like to host a Shorthorn Sale. One concern is that in order to do so we need to know if people are willing to consign animals. If anyone would be interested in consigning one of more animals to a sale, please let our office know. This is something that we need to know as soon as possible. Don’t wait to see if the sale is a go before committing to it. If we have no interest, we are not going to be able to get a management team to run it. In addition to this we would be very willing to hear any questions, suggestions or concerns there may be surrounding the development of an ASA hosted Shorthorn Sale. Please get in touch with the office at 1-800-387-6909, or email us
