World Federation Mid-Term Meeting, Canada 2026

Ayrshire Canada is hosting the 2026 WAF Mid-Term Meeting, bringing together international directors from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United Kingdom, Sweden, United States, South Africa and Finland. 

The opening day brought directors together to fulfil the organisation’s constitutional requirement for a mid-term meeting. Discussions addressed administration and finances, the promotion grant scheme, Ayrshire youth, genetic data projects and polled bloodlines.

Each country also presented an overview of the breed and its organisation’s position at home. These updates were complemented by presentations from Interbull, sponsors Blondin Sires and Semex, and Ayrshire Canada’s Elite female breeding programme.

The second day’s programme included a visit to Ferme Margot Ayrshires in Quebec, followed by a visit to Boviteq headquarters to learn more about the IVF process. 

Two further days of herd visits will follow before we all attend the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.
