We are honored that our matriarch won the Red
Angus Advovcate of the Year at the annual Red Angus
Associations annual meeting. Mom has been a stanch
advocate for the Red Angus breed and Bieber Red Angus.
Mom has always been there to encourage and give a
helping hand. Congratulations Mom!!!
Advocate of the Year Award was presented to Lois Bieber,
Leola, South Dakota, by outgoing RAAA President Kim
Ford of Cozad, Nebraska. The award, given annually,
recognizes a special Red Angus member or commercial
producer who passionately expresses support of the
Red Angus breed to seedstock producers, commercial
producers, industry partners or consumers. Ford illustrated
Bieber’s dedication to the breed, as well as her sense of humor, by showing a video of a
prank pulled by her children and grandchildren which resulted in a Red Angus calf being
placed in her and husband Ron’s bedroom while they slept. Ford went on to pay tribute to
the matriarch of Bieber Red Angus, explaining that Lois’ faith and prayerful dedication
was a steadfast blessing to many in the breed.
