Member Awards

HONOUR ROLL

The highest award for outstanding achievement or service presented by the Canadian Hereford Association to honour individuals that have made a significant contribution to the Hereford industry.

MEMBERSHIP SERVICE AWARDS

Membership Service Awards honour Canadian Hereford families who have committed 25, 50, 75, or 100 years of service to the Hereford breed and membership to the CHA.

TRAILBLAZER AWARD

This award is presented to individuals or organizations who exemplify excellence and demonstrated innovation for the Hereford breed. They may or may not be members of the CHA but demonstrate a pioneer spirit where they were willing to take risks and go in a path that wasn’t already there resulting in advancements for the beef industry, specifically the Hereford breed.

NEXT GEN BREEDER AWARD

This award is presented to an individual who exemplifies excellence and passion for the Hereford breed.

PAST RECIPIENTS

The Honour Roll recognizes leaders that are still living and the Memorial Scroll honours those who have passed on. The Canadian Hereford Association Board of Directors annually consider and select inductees to the Canadian Hereford Association Honour Roll/Memorial Scroll as nominated from the general membership.
