SIMMENTAL FOCUS-7

Well, here we are at the end of another season of bull sales, and I hope we can say the end of winter! The snow has been melting steady on the prairies and soon enough the air will be filled with the sounds of farmers scratching in the fields. An interesting winter, to say the least.....some areas with record breaking amounts of snow, some worried they didn’t have enough! But I must say, count your blessings folks, it could always be worse! Our thoughts go out to our friends south of the border who have dealt with more than their share of hardships this winter.

Speaking of hardships, we wish to send our heartfelt condolences out to all the families who were affected by the Humboldt tragedy. We just entered the hockey world this winter and have already seen the strong bond made between teamates, coaches and parents and cannot imagine what those families are going through. It has been amazing to see the support sent from around the world, and it only adds to the pride of being Canadian. Hockey is in our blood, it’s part of our heritage. Our sticks are out, we are all Broncos. #Humboldtstrong

We would also like to extend our condolences to the Ramsey family on the loss of Marty in early March.

Another one gone too soon, our thoughts are with all of you.

A few cowgirls celebrated milestone birthdays recently- Happy 40th Birthday to Erin McMillen, McMillen Ranching, Carievale, SK and Tanya Perkin, Perkin Land & Cattle Co., Elgin, MB, we hope you had a great time celebrating!

A few new faces to the cattle scene to share, see if you can spot them!

How about those Jets......Winnipeg hasn’t been in the playoffs since 1996....ok Siri says they did in 2015, but before that it had been quite a while! Downtown Winnipeg has never been so white! It’s been said before, Manitoba knows how to party...how about 35,000 fans all gathered in once place!?! Way to go boys, make your country proud! #GoJetsGo #TrueNorthStrongAndFree

That about wraps it up for this time....Joanne and I would like to thank everyone for their support over the past few months, your words of encouragment and gratitude are certainly appreciated and we look forward to working with you all again soon! Here’s to bumper crops, minimal bugs, a shower or two of rain, & good times with good company! Have a great summer, see you at the summer show in Lundar! Cheers!

John

Manitoba Simmental Association Announces 2018 Scholarship Recipient

The Manitoba Simmental Association is pleased to present the 2018 MSA YCSA Scholarship to Katryn Dequier of Haywood, MB.

Katryn is the daughter of Mike and Monique Dequier of Dequier Cattle Co. They operate a Simmental purebred and commercial farm at Haywood, MB. Katryn enjoys her involvement on the farm, showing cattle with her family throughout the summers, as well as with the Treherne 4-H Beef Club, of which she is the President and is currently in her 12th year of 4-H. Katryn is the proud owner of a 10-head Purebred Simmental herd, along with her sister. Katryn, and her sister Rayanne, plan to expand their Simmental herd in the future and continue farming in some capacity.

Katrynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community extends far beyond the cattle business. She has been involved in coaching soccer in her community, as well as holding various position on the 4-H Club Executive. Katryn was very dedicated to her schooling throughout her high school career, as is reflected in her history of being on the honor roll throughout high school. Katryn also held positions on committees in her high school.

Katryn has been attending the University of Manitoba, and will gradutate with her Agriculture Diploma this May. Upon graduation, Katryn will further her studies at the University of Manitoba, obtaining a Degree in Animals Systems upon graduation in 2021. This program will provide an understanding of animal production: including genetics, anatomy/physiology, nutrition, health and reproduction. Once she has her degree, Katryn plans to pursue a career with the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) as an inspector at processing and slaughter plants, ensuring the health of our food supply, and the general compliance of the processor.

Congratulations Katryn!! The MSA is very proud of you and your accomplishments. You represent the Simmental breed well!!
