Cecil E.
Mortson Perpetual Trophy
This trophy,
awarded annually to the winner of the Youth
Production Contest, is presented in memory
of the late Cecil E. Mortson. "Cec", as he
was affectionately known, established the Mordale herd, originally located in York
County, Ontario. Cecil Mortson was a keen
competitor at the shows and an enthusiastic
promoter of the Jersey breed. He was
recognized by the Canadian Jersey Cattle
Club as the Master Breeder in 1972.
Cecil was
also a strong advocate of the Ontario
Invitational Sale and was one of the
founders of the Youth Production Contest.
Hence, the Cecil Mortson Perpetual Trophy,
which highlights a series of achievements by
youth, involving selection and promotion as
well as management and production.
