PUBLISHER’S POST

It’s hard to believe that the Covid 19 Pandemic was only 30 days in when I wrote last year’s “Publisher’s Post”, honestly it feels like we’ve been fighting this thing for two years not just one. Fortunately we were able to travel for the sales and managed to have some unforgettable events, to say that the Wagyu breed found itself in 2020/2021 would be an understatement.

Things are still holding strong and new people are coming into the business from every direction imaginable. This month we have Jerry Reeves Bar R sale taking place on May 22nd at the ranch in Pullman, Washington. Jerry is one of the true foundation members of the American Wagyu Association. This is one sale that should not be missed. Coming up on June 5th you’re going to want book your reservations now for Salina, Kansas because the Passion for Prime offering is one of the best in its history. The Mid-West Wagyu meeting taking place on June 4th has a great slate of speakers and is an excellent spot to meet and greet new Wagyu enthusiasts.

I look forward to seeing many of you at these sales and always enjoy the many conversations I have with so many Wagyu breeders as I make my calls prior to sale day. Take care, stay safe and enjoy the summer.
