The Alberta Shorthorn Association would like to extend a sincere thank you to Trieber Farms Naomi Fair-Trieber and Ramblin Ranch Shorthorns, the successful bidders of the July 2026 Calendar Strip at our annual Calendar Auction.

Their generosity didn't stop with their winning bid. Trieber Farms and Ramblin Ranch graciously donated the advertising space to the Alberta Junior Shorthorn Association, providing an opportunity to highlight the future of our breed and the young people who are helping carry it forward.

The support shown by our members through the Calendar Auction plays an important role in the success of our Association, and contributions like this help strengthen the Shorthorn community for generations to come.

Thank you, Trieber Farms and Ramblin Ranch, for your support of the Alberta Shorthorn Association and for investing in our junior members. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
