With the 25th Anniversary Bison Producers of Alberta Convention and Show & Sale only days away we would like to thank the balance of our Gold Level sponsors!
Thank you so much to Weir Veterinary Services for their sponsorship to our event! Check out their services on their page or website at weirvet.com.
We would also like to thank, at the Gold Level, two parties that have been a great help to the Bison Producers of Alberta, Spruce Coulee Bison and Synch Homestead Inc. (synchhomestead.ca). Both these ranches have kindly stored the portable bison panels we had purchased. This enables us to have our own panels each time we have an event.
We look forward to seeing you at our event in Camrose!
