I was told today that a new Executive Secretary has been hired and that it was going to be announced in Louisville next week. It seems like someone has "spilled the beans" as I heard this same rumour from two sources today. Of course, it is just rumour at this point in time, as an announcement from the ASA board has not been released yet.
The rumour is that Dr Bert Moore will be the new Executive Secretary. If this is indeed true, I cannot think of anyone who is more qualified to bridge the large gap between the show oriented and the commercially oriented breeders. Bert Moore has had a very distinguished career at North Dakota State. He has been the coach of the NDSU judging team for many years, and he has been in charge of the purebred herds there for some time as well. Bert has been a exceptional teacher of young people and he is one of the best liked educators I can think of. I cannot think of anyone who has a deeper love of Shorthorn cattle and he has always maintained the attitude that these cattle had to be of some earthy good after their show careers are over. Bert Moore is one of the nicest person in the beef business. He is respected and extremely intelligent. He can recite Shorthorn pedigrees back to the 1800s. He is also not barn blind, and he appreciates a good beast no matter what color he/she is.
I have always considered Bert Moore to be a true gentleman. I hope this rumour is correct..... and I also hope his skin is thick enough for this major task.
