SIMMENTAL FOCUS-7
Howdy folks, did ya get all yer grain in the bin? A tough fall on the prairies with a lot of moisture falling during harvest instead of during the summer. And the hay crop, let’s not even go there. Here’s hoping for a better year next year, there’d better be a lot of rain dancin’ goin’ on next spring I think... A few new faces to introduce this time, and some cute ones I might add! Remember folks, we can’t put them in if we don’t have them! Send us your wedding and baby announcements to ensure our readers are up to date!! Our condolences go out to the Hickson family on the loss of Ernie Hickson. Ernie was a foundingmember of the Keystone Simmental Association and a pioneer in the Simmental breed, may he rest in peace. Happy 25th Anniversary to Vern & Denise Lafrentz, Wheatland Cattle Co., Bienfait, SK, we hope you got off the ranch for a few hours to celebrate! Get well wishes going out to Gerry Bertholet who is nursing an injured wing, word is he’s on the mend after surgery and should be back on track in no time! Congratulations to all who ehxibited cattle at the National Simmental Show at Ag Ex in Brandon, what a great set of cattle that were showcased from across the prairies. Be sure to attend the MSA Annual General Meeting Saturday, December 8 @ 7pm at the Keystone Center in Brandon. What better chance to have a voice in this great breed, and maybe have a little fun while yer at it! That’s it for this time folks, safe travels if you’re hitting the show and sale trail, see you at Agribition! John
