The Afrikaner Cattle Breeders’ Society of SA is thrilled to announce that in 2012 we will have been part of the SA red meat industry for 100 years and we are here to stay for another 100 years.

A few provisional thoughts for the occasion.

AIM

The aim of the ACBS is to celebrate our 100^th year of existence throughout the country
To feature the Afrikaner as succesful, economic, indigenous, medium-frame, veld meat beef breed.
To increase the number of stud-breeders and cattle.
To effect pride for the breed.
Successful centenary celebrations.

Commemorative Journal:

This year we decided that we will not be bringing out our annual journal, but instead make use of our 100year existence to publish a commemorative journal. This journal will entail the history of the ACBS together with marketing, advertisements and history of our members and of course the future of the ACBS. For anyone who might be interested in advertising in this journal, please contact Lauren Tissier on 051 447 7405 / afcattle@intekom.co.za.

Celebrations:

Firstly we will start off in Worcester. Many plans are being made to take all attending the Show on a wine tour, followed by a seafood evening. Final arrangements are still being made and details will be on the website shortly.
We then continue our celebrations at Vryburg, Nampo and Thabazimbi.
A national auction is planned later in the year where top quality Afrikaners will be on offer. Stud Breeders must bear this auction in mind with each selection and parent selection for future generations. This will be an auction not to be missed!
Then to end our centenary celebrations in style, we invite all Afrikaner members - old, current & prospective, to join us in our final dinner in Hoopstad.

We are in the process of arranging all these events, so please do keep a lookout for updates on our website and also invitations to each and every celebration!

Everybody’s support and contributions will be highly appreciated.

Let’s make 2012 a year to remember!
