Fall Election Update

Our ballots are in the mail.  Please return to the CPA in the self addressed envelope.  We only received 3 nominees for this election, besides the incumbents that were running for re-election.  Two of the three new nominees were not eligible to run as they had not been active members for two years, we are hoping they will try next fall.  This only left us with three candidates, Brian Sims of Seminole, Oklahoma; Pat Burnett of Wills Point, Texas and Garett Judd of Edmunton, Kentucky.  In addition to your ballot on the election we have enclosed a proposed By-Law change regarding the issue of elections when we only have the number of candidates running equilavent to the open positions.  Please include your vote on this matter and return it with your ballot. If you have any questions please feel free to contact any Board Members.  Results will be announced at our Fall membership meeting On September 21, 2022, in Macon, Missouri.

We had an unfilled opening in this cycle as Matt Moffatt of Piedmont, Oklahoma choose not to run for another term due to time constraints.  Matt has been a valuable member of our Association and Board of Directors for many years and will be greatly missed.  Serving our Association is an unpaid volunteer position and we all wish to thank Matt for his service.

Spring Updates

At our spring 2021 get-together and board meeting several items have been modified.    We want to expand our reach out for scholarship applicants.  Anyone that has high school juniors or seniors in their life heading for college or connections to an FFA, 4H or other agriculture  programs that might be interested in Watusi should check out our program.

Bull registration rules:  “All bulls, Foundation Pure or Native Pure, must be registered by the breeder or the owner of the dam at the time of birth.  Priivate or farm sales of bulls are eligible for registration by breeder and transfer into new owner’s name at time of registration.   Any bull being sold at an auction sale must be accompanied by the hard copy of the registration papers or access to it.  Bulls cannot be sold at auction on application for registration with the exception of calves less than 60 days of age being sold at the dam’s side. Any bull calves sold at auction at dam’s side must be registered with 30 days of sale.”

We will be posting our completed updated Rules on this website in the future.
