The ladies of the North Carolina Angus Auxiliary would like to extend an invitation to all to join us in a new and exciting year….we are always looking for women who are enthusiastic about Angus cattle!

Greetings from NC Angus Auxiliary...

For many years, Steve, my husband, and I have raised Belted Galloway Crosses. In 2001, we decided we were interested in increasing the value of our herd. We heard about the Angus breed and purchased our first bull and cow/calf pair June 30, 2001 from Crantock Angus in Smithfield. Shortly thereafter, we became members of the North Carolina Angus Association.

June 3, 2002, we joined the American Angus Association and have been impressed by the structure of the two Associations, and the dedicated people who were very congenial and willing to answer our many questions.

In 2004, I became involved with the North Carolina Angus Auxiliary Association, which has been a very enlightening experience. In 2005, the officers of the Auxiliary attended the “Excellence No Exception” Conference at the American  Angus Headquarters in St. Joseph, Missouri sponsored by the American Angus Association. We were given a grand tour of the facility, and the highlight of the meeting was when John Crouch, Executive Vice President, spoke to us about ‘Understanding the  Function of the Association and the Interrelationship of the  Association with the Auxiliary’, and James Fisher, Director Of Activities and Junior Activities talked about ‘The Why and How of the NJAA Leadership Programs’.

Since the chartering of the North Carolina Angus Auxiliary in 2000, the mission of the organization was to assist the women interested in the welfare of the Angus breed to meet together for educational, promotional, social and other functions appropriate to this organization. The Auxiliary has been very active in supporting the North Carolina Junior Angus and promoting the Angus breed. These are the main reasons I have become a member of the North Carolina Angus Auxiliary, and the friendships, which have developed, are even treasured to a greater degree more than I could have imagined.

Plans are underway for the making of a North Carolina Angus Auxiliary cookbook. The cookbook will contain the usual sections and will also feature a special section dedicated to beef recipes. All recipes should be sent to Cortney Holshouser, Secretary of the  North Carolina Angus Auxiliary.
Her address is 746 Collins Mill Rd
Castalia, NC 27816
