MHA Report - Steven Manns

The air is crisp with fall again and the leaves are starting to turn. This signals the time of year for sales! I feel that every year there are many challenges that we face but I am not sure what word I can use to describe this unprecedented time. Hopefully everyone has been staying healthy and safe and finding ways to keep their “normal” alive while embracing social isolation during fluctuating pandemic numbers. On a positive note, it has seemed that the feed and forage situation for winter feeding has been less stressful for the majority of people I have spoken with.

It was with heavy hearts that we had to cancel our field day for 2020 but we know that the right decision was made to ensure our Hereford producers were kept safe. We thank Keith and Cheryl Troop for all of their hard work and their on going communication up until the final decision was made.

I want to wish everyone good luck with their fall sales. I look forward to seeing you all at 6 feet over the next few months. What we wouldn’t give for some precedented time.
