Well friends, we made it through February...we’re in the home stretch of winter now, fingers crossed! With January being mostly tolerable, and February in the rearview now, I can’t help but be a bit nervous to see what March brings....whoever has been putting in the weather orders, keep the sunshine comin’ and hold off on the snow storms...let’s pray for rain in May instead! But honestly, we’ve been pretty lucky, I do have to say! Our January calving producers sure deserved a break this year, as I’m certain we haven’t had a January like this year for decades!!!
As the bull sale season ramps up, cowboys are waiting at the mailbox for the newest stack of catalogs to arrive...Simmental bulls are still highly sought after...whether you’re looking for performance, calving ease or just some extra bull power for insurance, do your homework boys, there’s a bull out there that will fit the bill, and chances are you won’t have to go far to find him!
As things are returning to “normal,” we are sure glad to be able to visit with our customers and friends again around the sale barns! However, we will miss the odd sale here and there and hope we can catch up down the road. As I write this, I am packing my suitcase, and have to use my “mom pass” and apologize in advance to a few of our friends and customers...I will miss a few sales coming up as I will be travelling to Prince Edward Island to watch my youngest daughter compete in the Mixed Pairs Figure Skating event at the Canada Winter Games!! I am beyond proud and super excited to cheer her and her partner on during this amazing experience!
So, best of luck to all in the coming weeks... may the sales be strong and the weather be just what you ordered.....

Manitoba Simmental Association Announces 2022 Scholarship Recipients
The Manitoba Simmental Association is pleased to be able to award three 2022 MSA Scholarships to deserving applicants! Congratulations to Sam de Rocquigny, Cade Cruickshanks, and Megan Beswitherick. Each of these individuals will receive a cheque for $1,000 to put towards their post-secondary education expenses. Due to the support of our members in our various fundraising efforts over the years, the MSA is able to give up to three $1000.00 scholarships each year. Each applicant must be a MSA member and/or child of a MSA member and is judged on their application and interview process by our scholarship committee.

He is involved with every aspect of the operation, from feeding cattle, to seeding and fencing and everything in between. Sam enjoys helping show cattle with his family throughout the province and is involved in the Pembina Triangle Simmental Assoc. and the Premium Beef sales, through which they market some of their purebred females and bulls.
Sam has been very active in his school and community. He was a 10-year member of his local beef 4-H club, having held many executive positions such as president, vice-president, treasurer, and club reporter. He was also awarded the 2018 Most Valuable Member from the club. In addition to his 4-H involvement, Sam was very involved in his school, playing soccer and badminton as well as various intramurals. He was the 2022 Grad President as well as the 2022 Co-Valedictorian for the St. Claude School Complex. Another of his personal accomplishments is to have been twice part of the Team Manitoba Broomball team that participated in the National Championships, having most recently been the assistant captain of that team. Sam continues to be active by playing on an intramural hockey team at the university as well as playing broomball whenever time allows.
Sam plans to return to the farm at Haywood, where they have recently increased their purebred herd. He hopes to make it more profitable and efficient through all that he learn in his courses and from his professors at the University of Manitoba.
