Its hard to believe that 2022 has come and gone and we are getting ready to celebrate with family and friends and ring in the new year. Fall has been a busy one for Saskatchewan Hereford breeders, between harvest, sending calves to market and preparing strings for the fall run, as we are on the other side of that it is time to reflect and start the process all over again into next year.

Hereford was well represented at shows across the prairie provinces and out east this fall. Saskatchewan Fall shows kicked off in Lloydminster with a strong turn out of exhibitors.

Congratulations to all exhibitors throughout this years fall run! It was excellent to see so many quality Hereford cattle being recognized at the highest level. Sales have been strong, with a few more production and dispersal sales to come as I write this. Best of luck to those selling, and best wishes to those who’ve added quality to the herd this fall! The SHA board will regroup in January to start looking ahead into 2023. Membership questionnaires will be utilized to get some ideas on the memerbshops thoughts on potential new programming and events the board is interested in bringing forward in the new year. Members of the Saskatchewan Hereford
