Well folks, it’s March....already.....I don’t know about you, but I’m waving the white flag and ready to be done with winter!! Holy snow Batman!! And rain in February..... really....??!!!! Someone needs to have a chat with Mother Nature.....time to hit the road pretty soon here, hopefully I don’t need to install skates on my vehicle! On a much happier note, did you watch the women’s Olympic Hockey Team....way to go ladies, gold looks good on you!! Pretty proud to have these ladies represent our national sport!! Hats off to all of our Canadian athletes, their hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed!! We would like to send out happy 70th birthday greetings to Randy Mader, Mader Ranches, Carstairs, AB. We sure hope you took some time to celebrate!! The Manitoba Simmental Association invites you to join us in Portage la Prairie July 21-24 as we host the CSA AGM and National YCS Show. It has been a challenge, having to reschedule a few times, but we guarantee a great time, you don’t want to miss it! Details on page 28 in this issue. More details to come... We look forward to hitting the road shortly and as always we hope to catch up with old friends and make some new ones along the way as well. Best of luck in the sale ring friends, see y’all real soon! ~John and Joanne
