2014 MSA SALE REPORT
41st Annual MSA Sale!
The true determination and love for Simmental cattle was never more apparent than this year’s 41st Annual Minnesota State Simmental Sale! The weather presented quite a challenge getting to Rochester with 10 inches of heavy wet snow and 40mph winds but breeders and Simmental enthusiasts arrived safely for the annual meeting, banquet and sale. Once again, our juniors did a great job rounding up neat items for their merchandise auction rising over $21,000 for the junior and senior associations. The phones were busy and a nice crowd was present for a great set of genetics on sale day with 57 lots averaging $2784. It was a great weekend for Minnesota Simmental families!
