Program Overview

The Gold Show program was developed in 1989 by the Canadian Angus Association to provide an incentive for breeders to move between regions to show cattle. Awards for Red and Black Show Bull of the Year and Red and Black Show Female of the Year are calculated based on the number of points accumulated over the show season. In recognition of the Gold Show Champions, the owners receive a plaque, presented at the annual meeting. In addition, a plaque honoring the Gold Show Champions of years past is displayed in the Canadian Angus Association office.

In accordance with the Canadian Angus Association's Environmental Policy, the use of paint and colouring on animals in Association-sponsored shows is prohibited. The Board of Directors is responsible for checking all animals entering the show ring and refusing entry to any with paint or artificial colouring.

Each region is entitled to designate two shows each year as Gold Shows for which breeders can earn points. Gold Shows must be open to competitors from outside the host province.

Gold Show winners will be determined by the animal(s) that has earned the highest number of points in three Gold Shows. If an animal accumulates points in more than three Gold Shows, the points from its best three shows will be used in determining end-of-year awards.

Year-End Awards will be given to Show Female and Show Bull in both red and black (for a total of four awards).
