Excitement builds for the World Angus Forum
The Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society is organising the homecoming of the breed at this summer’s World Angus Forum and the excitement is building now with the official announcement of the final itinerary for the full 17-day event from June 16 to July 2.
Delegates from both the UK and the rest of the world are set to flock to the home of the Aberdeen-Angus breed to take part in a full and expansive itinerary of events aimed to educate and inspire, while celebrating the history and delving into what the future holds for the famous Aberdeen-Angus breed.
Kicking off in England from jJune 16 to 20, attendees will visit the Rosemead, Lockerley, Aynho, Aln, Aberton, Nightingale and Tofts Aberdeen-Angus herds. They will also attend the Royal Three Counties Show for the national show of Aberdeen-Angus cattle, one of the main events on the agricultural calendar. The English tour will also see the visitors experience dinner at the historic Exeter College along with a visit to UNESCO world heritage site Stonehenge.
Upon finishing the tour of England, the official World Forum secretariat will take place in Edinburgh where delegates will take in the Royal Highland Show and the two-day technical conference, which will look at current trends and hot topics in the beef industry, with an eye to how to create a sustainable and effective beef production operation in the future.
The World Angus Forum will then move on to a tour of the East coast of Ireland from June 24 to 26 where attendees will visit the All Ireland Championships at Newry Show, another highly anticipated event on the calendar.
The final leg of the event is the Scottish tour from 27th June to 2nd July. A selection of Aberdeen-Angus herds with great historical and current importance will be visited, including Rawburn, Ballindalloch, Tillyfour and the herd of Society president Alex Sanger, Rosemount.
