American Lowline Registry Changes for 2010

The American Lowline Registry office will be changing later this spring. Jim Spawn, Sharon Bosley and Carl Palermo have done a fine job and a huge thank you is in order for these three for all of their efforts over the years in helping us develop and grow this breed.

The office will be moved to Parker, CO. The change will offer some new services which will be beneficial for the advancement of the breed.

Sherry Doubet will be our new Executive Director. She knows the people business as well as the cattle business and will be a very valuable asset for our breed as we continue to grow and flourish. Sherry attended Colorado State University where she was an active member of Block and Bridle, Alpha Zeta and the CSU Livestock Judging Team and where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 1988. After a 6 month tour of Australia as a participant in the Junior Hereford Exchange, she began working for the American Salers Assocation in 1989 as the Director of Communications. She served in that capacity for 4 1/2 years before taking over as the Director of Advertising and Registrations in 1994. Sherry became the American Salers Association Executive Vice President in 1996 and has been in this capacity for the past 16 years.

Dean Pike will be our new Director of Breeder Services. He also brings a wealth of experience to this new position with the Lowline breed. Dean has worked with youth organizations since he was state president of the Nebraska FFA and served as a national office of the American Junior Hereford Association. He was an advertising salesman for the Dakota Farmer publication before working for the American Polled Hereford Association, the American Angus Association and as a marketing manager for a purebred ranch in Missourri. Dean has been Director of Field Services for the American Salers Association for the past several years and has worked closely in selling advertising and producing their breed publication as well as working with their junior organization.

Sherry Hartley is another valuable member of our new office team. She has worked for the American Salers Association for 5 years as their registry expert.

ABRI will be doing the herd book. They are a world wide organization that is currently doing the herd book for the Australian Lowline Association. With that in mind, we're hoping by this incorporation to trace our genetics back thru the Australian herd book.

For the time being, continue to send in your registrations as normal. Please watch for updates on the website. We will keep you updated on the transition and will notify you when any changes occur.
