Simmental Focus Publisher Lois Gould announced her retirement in June after 24 years in business.

“I feel the timing is right, it’s time for me to move on to other things, and to pass the torch on to the next generation,” says Lois.

Joanne and John Best took over publishing duties on July 1, 2014. They are excited to start this new chapter in their lives and look forward to what the future holds for the Simmental breed.

“We are not planning any major changes”, says Joanne, “and we are committed to maintaining the same level of customer service and quality that has made the Focus such a success.”

Joanne will serve as Publisher, handling the day to day operation of the Focus, as well as graphic design.

Look for Joanne at upcoming sales & shows.

John will assist in marketing and sales, and will continue to offer his photography services. John will be in attendance at various events throughout the year.

We would like to introduce Cheryl Lehmann as our Administrative Assistant. Cheryl comes to us with extensive experience in accounting, making her a valuable asset to our team.

Manitoba Hosts Successful Canadian Simmental Weekend

The Manitoba Simmental Association was proud to host the Canadian Simmental Association AGM in conjunction with the National YCS Show held at Elkhorn Resort July 25-27th.

The weekend started off with a golf tournament on Friday afternoon, followed by a tour of the Buffalo Compound. The evening consisted of an informative Genomics presentation by Dr. Dorian Garrick and ended with a gorgeous river boat cruise aboard the Martese.

Saturday entailed some farm tours for some, with the CSA AGM being the focus of the afternoon. YCS participants were kept busy with their AGM and several competition classes. Following the meeting everyone gathered for a spectacular banquet, which included entertainment from a great group of Ukranian dancers, followed by the most successful Friends of Canadian Simmental Association Foundation auction to date. Afterwards everyone was invited to the MSA cabin for some hospitality and networking. Sunday afternoon the National YCS Show was held.

The show was a great way to end the weekend and gave producers a final opportunity to network and watch the future of our breed in action.

CSA President Kelly Ashworth noted, “ This was one of the best attended and most successful CSA Annual Meetings ever held. Thank you to the Manitoba Simmental Association for hosting this great event and to everyone who came from near and far to make the weekend such an incredible success. The commitment of our members, directors, and staff are why the Simmental breed and the CSA has enjoyed such tremendous accomplishments in recent years and the positive momentum of the Simmental breed will continue in years to come.�

Saskatchewan Simmental Association News

2014 Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup A Success

Along with hosting the Canadian Junior Shorthorn Weekend, the 7th Annual Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup was an unbelievable learning educational weekend.

Sixty five Juniors from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta’s enthusiastic Junior Cattle Producers attended the 7th annual Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup August 1, 2 and 3rd in Neepawa Manitoba. Excitement in the cattle industry brought out a top notch group of interested cattle producers and 115 head of cattle.

Where else can you attend an event with 65 Junior members all working together as teams and individual competitions, to learn the skills needed in the Livestock Industry. This is not just a cattle show it is an all around event to promote youth to continue on in the livestock industry.

The weekend started off with the Ag Challenge, a timed competition with some hands on knowledge of the Livestock industry.

The Juniors enjoyed the challenges and tasks they were given like halter making and tattooing an animal. The winning team was Braden Calvert, Brad Height, Clayton Sprung, Brooklyn Hedley & Ty Nykoliation.

Saturday- Members exhibited items in the competitions listed below along with the cattle show and educational competitions both individual and Team.

One of the highlights of Saturday is the Cook off, where up to 6 Members on a team prepare a steak and create a theme. Judges Melinda German (President of Manitoba Beef Producers) and Enns Brothers our platinum sponsor rep- Darrell Gerrard evaluated this competition and was impressed with the taste of the steaks, presentation , themes and costumes.

Winning Team was Kolton McIntosh, Keegan Blehm, Cora Baker, Tristin Bjarnarson, Wyatt Inglis and Sarah Height. Best Costumes
