The recipients of the 2016 national Cattlemen's Young Leaders mentorship program have been announced.
Jason Hurst of Guelph was one of the 16 selected from the final-round group of 23.
Recipients were named at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference in Calgary earlier this month.
CYL says each person selected will be paired up for the next 8 months with a mentor in the industry.
They feel the program gives participants the change to explore a potential career choice while gaining the experience needed to sustain the future of Canada's cattle industry.
