General Manager Comments

Welcome to the 30^th Anniversary of the Alberta Pork Congress! It’s been a great pleasure to be associated with this event for many of these thirty years, whether I was living in Alberta, British Columbia or Saskatchewan. I’m pleased and proud to be President of this year’s Pork Congress. I wish everyone continued success in finding help from any and all of your suppliers to improve production systems and financial gains.

You will notice our new display for this show. It shows our boldness and strength in the pork industry. The display has sufficient flexibility to offer new ideas in a comprehensive fashion in future years. Thanks to Jason and Pearl for organizing the display format.

We’re very proud to congratulate the winners of our Lowest Warranty Awards for 2003. A number of our customers are able to introduce replacement boars and gilts into their herds with very little problem. We continue to have perennial winners as well as new winners in both the boar and gilt categories..
