The 45th Annual Exotic Wildlife Association Membership Meeting is being held March 9th and 10th, 2012 at the Y.O. Resort Hotel & Conference Center in Kerrville, TX. The Exotic Wildlife Association’s mission is “to encourage and expand the conservation of both native and non-native hoofstock, and to help [their] members develop and strengthen the markets for their animals” and with a membership of over 3,700 exotic enthusiasts, their once-a-year event is not one to be missed!

Just a  few of the weekend’s activities…

Ranch tour and seminars will be held at Whiskey Canyon Ranch in Kerrville, TX on Friday afternoon.  Seminars will include experts from the industry on: Game Fencing, Prescribed Burn, Habitat and Forage Identification, Texas Wildlife Services, Nutrition, Transporting Animals and Capture Facilities.

The weekend’s events kick off with “Casino Night”, followed by live entertainment from the Meyer Anderson Band. You can dance the night away with some of the finest country and western, 50’s and 60’s music in this part of Texas!

Saturday

The most important activity associated with the Annual Membership Meeting is the annual election of directors, which takes place during the General Membership Meeting, Saturday morning, starting at 9 am.  Remember, these elected individuals set the policies and procedures for this association.  Saturday afternoon the EWA’s 10th annual Video Animal Auction will take place with some of the finest non-native hoofstock consignments to be found anywhere.  Auction starts at 1:00 pm.  This is an excellent opportunity to buy or sell or just improve the genetics on your ranch.

Saturday night will conclude the membership meeting with the EWA awards banquet and annual fund raiser and some of the finest live entertainment in the country.

“Bring your employees, friends and family and support the association that supports you.”
