Everett More and Irene Vanin Manitoba Simmental Association Ambassador Award
Transcon’s Fleckvieh Equation Fullblood Simmental Sale
Everett’s involvement with Simmental cattle began in 1972 when his brother Elton registered his 1st half bloods, mothered by their father Mel’s purebred Hereford cows. As More Brothers Simmentals they began showing cattle at local summer fairs in the early 1980’s. With only the occasional interruption since then this has been part of each summer’s schedule. Everett and Irene enjoy the camaraderie and friendly competition of the summer show schedule attending 7or 8 fairs annually, using this as an opportunity to promote their program and the breed in general to cattlemen in South Western Manitoba. As a large animal veterinarian Everett enjoys the opportunity to promote Simmental genetics to local producers and finds this provides a chance to see first hand the breed working under various management systems. Everett and Irene have been members of the Keystone Simmental association for 14 years, with Irene currently serving as Secretary/Treasurer and Everett as President. Everett served a term as an MSA director in the late 80’s and was a founding member of the now disbanded South West Manitoba Simmental Association serving as its president for a time. With a small herd of only 25 cows, they are very hands on and stress disposition in their herd. Calves are worked with while still young to evaluate and modify their temperment. Virtually all breeding is done with AI and that is Everett’s favorite part of the year, especially if conception is good. Everett enjoys assisting at Simmental events. He has announced numerous cattle shows including the Agribiton Simmental show, the Keystone Konnection Bull Calf Jackpot Show and Simmental Show at M L E as well as an occasional shows of other breeds. Everett and Irene would like to express their appreciation to the Manitoba Simmental Association for this Award.

Manitoba Youth Win Purebred Heifers In the past seven years 18 Manitoba youth have been awarded up to $2,000 toward the purchase of a heifer calf selected from a Manitoba purebred sale. The funds have come from the Grant Moffat Herdbuilder Fund. The youth submitted essays on why they wanted to start or build their own purebred herd of cattle and were picked by a committee of six of Grant’s friends and family representing many breeds. The participants were evaluated on desire, need and previous expression of interest in the industry. This year the committee combed through 17 excellent entries to pick the three final winners. Bennett Foster, a 14 year old from Dropmore purchased a Hereford heifer to start his purebred herd. Andria Bertram, a 12 year old from Portage la Prairie purchased a Simmental heifer for her new herd and Wyatt Inglis, an 11 year old from Rapid City selected a Shorthorn heifer for his herd builder. Grant Moffat, Holmsyde Charolais, Forrest, went missing in August, 2006. The funds generously donated by cattlemen, friends and relatives across the country were offered as a reward for tips leading to his whereabouts. After a year, a committee handling the funds made a decision to channel the money to Manitoba youth for the purpose of starting their own purebred herd. More funds were raised at auctions during a couple of Manitoba Beef Producer’s Annual Meetings 2010 & 2011 making it possible to continue this worthwhile cause in his memory. Grant invested a lot of energy in actively helping youth get started in the business and this seemed the most fitting way to utilize the funds. The complete story of Grant Moffat and the past winners can be seen at www.grantmoffat.com.

Saskatchewan Simmental Association Commercial Breeder of the Year Sentes Farms, Raymore, SK
Sentes Farms is a family run ranch located 10 miles south of Raymore in the Touchwood Hills. The ranch is owned and operated by William and Lucille and their two sons Mark (wife Shelly) and Paul (wife Tracey) along with their families. The operation has been in the family for 5 generations. William bought his first Simmental bull from ABC Simmentals in the mid 1970’s. From that point forward the cow herd was Simmental based. In the 90’s Mark and Paul joined the farm and decided to take the direction of ranching. With this they used the strong Simmental genetics and crossed them with Red Angus to get the best of both breeds and build a strong foundation of females which has built their herd to where it is today with approximately 800 breeding females.

SSA Purebred Breeder of the Year
Sentes Farms has had great success showing and selling Simmental influence commercial females at Canadian Western Agribition and off the farm. They have been really happy with the overall performance of the Simmental breed in both their heifers and steers. Sentes Farms is a true family farm. If at any time you are in the Raymore area stop by or give them a call. In closing they would like to thank the Saskatchewan Simmental Association for the honor of being Saskatchewan Simmental Commercial Breeder of the Year 2013. BJ
The Sentes family was presented with a commemmorative sign during the Canadian Western Agribition Simmental Show on November 15, 2013 in Regina,SK.
