SIMMENTAL FOCUS-7
Well, well, well.....here we are at the end of another wonderful winter..... and boy are we glad to see it go! For most of us on the prairies the grass is already green and the creeks are flowing, but for some that nasty white stuff just won’t disappear! April is supposed to bring showers, not snow storms! Someone needs to tell Mother Nature to get back on her medication, open a bottle of wine and and get back to thinking warm, happy thoughts!! .....This issue is jam-packed with sale reports and as you can see, the bull sale season was pretty solid as a whole....demand for good Simmental bulls is still high, so if you didn’t get one you’d better get studying for next year! .....A few new chore men to introduce to the Simmental world, details on page 8, we will be watching the showring in a few years for these little Wranglers! .....The CSA is celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year, and we all have an opportunity to be part of the Manitoba Simmental Association’s History Book. A committee has been formed and will be accepting any historical news clippings, write ups, photos or facts on Manitoba Simmentals soon. All the details are on page 20. Dig into your archives and find some history, I know it’s out there! ....Plan to join us July 21st in Harding for the MSA Summer Show, rumor has it the whole town gets rockin’ on fair day! ....Our condolences to the Libke and Reay families on the unexpected passing of Kyle, our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. ....Well that’s it for this time.....again Joanne and I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragment. We are truly blessed to be part of such a tremendous Simmental family and are thankful for each and every one of you. We hope everyone has a great summer! Cheers, see y’all in the fall! John

2017 Manitoba Simmental Association Scholarship Recipient
The Manitoba Simmental Association would like to congratulate Sydney Thorgilsson, daughter of Stewart and Carla Thorgilsson of Triple T Simmentals at Lundar, MB, on being the 2017 Recipient of the Manitoba YCSA Scholarship. Sydney is graduating in June 2017 from Lundar High School, where she is currently on the Honor Roll. Upon high school graduation, Sydney will be entering the University of Manitoba in the fall of 2017, to work towards her Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Animal Systems). This is a four year course which will focus on the nutrition, management and welfare of all livestock and poultry in the modern world. Upon completion of this degree, Sydney will be applying to the University of Saskatchewan’s Veterinary program. Her long-term goal is to return to Lundar to pursue a career as a veterinarian and run her own Simmental business with fullblood and purebred animals. Sydney has been involved in the family farm for as long as she can remember, always going to the barn to help with morning and evening chores. She received her first Simmental calf when she was seven years old, showing it at the Lundar Fair. The next year she began in Beef 4-H and continues showing Simmental cattle to this day. Sydney is a regular volunteer throughout the year at various community events. She volunteers at the Lundar Community Pool to clean and maintain it so it is ready for the summer season. She helps with her church Sunday School program, and also is involved in her church youth group. Sydney recently completed a volunteer credit through her school which involved working at the canteen at the Lundar Arena. The Manitoba Simmental Association board and members wish Sydney luck in all of her future endeavors. We look forward to the dedication and passion that she will bring to the beef industry, and to the Simmental breed.

Manitoba Agriculture Hall of Fame Announces 2017 Inductees April 3, 2017– The Manitoba Agricultural Hall Of Fame Inc. has officially announced its inductees for 2017 at the Hall Of Fame’s Annual General Meeting held at the Keystone Center, Brandon, MB on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at 1pm. Everett More from Virden, Manitoba has practised Veterinary medicine for well over 40 years. Although semi-retired, Dr. More continues to play an integral part in both the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair and the Virden Indoor Rodeo & Wild West Daze – two events he has proud to have been a part of for many years. His nearly five decades of involvement with the equine ranching industry in western Canada has provided significant expertise and service to the welfare of horses that contribute to women’s healthcare world-wide. He has been a supporter of local ag societies for over 50 years and remains a registered Simmental cattle breeder, is an exhibitor of Quarter horses and raises bulls and bred heifers for sale. A special ceremony is to be held on Monday, June 19, 2017 at the Holiday Inn Airport West in Winnipeg, MB. The ceremony will also include the announcement of the Red River Exhibition’s 2017 Farm Family Of The Year as well as the opportunity to award the Red River Exhibition Foundation’s Agriculture and Agi-Food scholarships. The mandate of the Manitoba Agriculture Hall of Fame Inc. is to formally and publicly recognize persons who, in the course of their residence in Manitoba, have made an outstanding contribution to the improvement of agriculture and the betterment of rural living in the province.
