Message from the President
Dear Fellow Shorthorn Enthusiasts, It is a great time to be involved in the Shorthorn breed! Raising Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus cattle is as exciting as ever. As you flip through these pages you will find Shorthorn breeders who are ready, willing, and able to meet your cattle needs with some of the best genetics the Shorthorn breed has to offer. Please also use the commercial advertisers as resources, as they too would like to partner with you in your cattle ventures.
Big things are happening each year with the Wisconsin Shorthorn Association. Our annual State Show was held in June and included 51 head in Junior Show and 38 in Open Show. Thank you to all who helped plan, work, and sponsor the show. Next year’s event will be held Father’s Day weekend at the Lodi Ag Fairgrounds. Please plan to join us! Go to WisconsinShorthorns.com for up-to-date information and details. I also invite you to like and follow the WSA/WJSA Facebook page. I further encourage you to attend the Wisconsin Shorthorn Association’s annual meeting on February 10, 2018 at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells. The meeting is held in conjunction with the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association Winter Conference. This is a great opportunity to learn what is happening at the local, state, and national levels for Wisconsin cattlemen and cattlewomen. It also gives you an opportunity to meet up with your fellow beef industry members to discuss topics that are important to you. Wisconsin is excited to be your host for the 2018 National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference from June 26 through July 1 in Madison. We look forward to offering you our Midwest hospitality. Lastly, I invite you to be a member of the Wisconsin Shorthorn Association. If, at any time, you have questions about our great association, do not hesitate to call me or any of the listed Board members. We would love to help you or simply talk cattle with you! Wishing you all the best, Dennis Schlimgen 2017 WSA President

Hello, My name is Nicole Bakken, and I am your Wisconsin Junior Shorthorn Association President. This is my second year serving as the WJSA President and I look forward to sharing my knowledge with new members. I am very dedicated when it comes to the Shorthorn breed. I live in Stoughton, Wisconsin on a farm with 30 Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus cattle. I work at ABS Global in DeForest, Wisconsin where I am a livestock handler and recently have been trained to be a hoof trimmer in my barn. The WJSA Board is here to serve our fellow junior members throughout the state. We have several meetings each year, either in person or by conference call. Our Junior Board is very dedicated to helping with our State Show in June every year. We also have a pizza party to welcome new members who are Shorthorn enthusiasts at the Wisconsin State Fair. This summer, we had a few families go to Junior Nationals, which was held in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Next year, we welcome you to join us as Wisconsin hosts the Shorthorn Junior National Show in Madison! If you have any questions about becoming a WJSA member, what our association does, or the Shorthorn breed in general, you can contact any of the Board members directly. We look forward to talking with you! Sincerely, Nicole Bakken – WI Junior Shorthorn Association President 26
