SIMMENTAL FOCUS-7
Ho, ho, ho....holy moly, can you believe we are almost at the end of 2020!?! Thankfully this dreaded year is coming to an end!! It all started when Don Cherry got fired...it was all downhill after that!! Some of us have enjoyed spending more time with our families, which was maybe long overdue- less time driving around the countryside from one thing to another, rushing to get things done and always behind the eight ball. Others have worked tirelessly on the front lines of this horrible virus and have yet to spend valuable time with loved ones. However Covid-19 has impacted your life, we hope that you are staying safe & healthy through it all and hope that we can all be together again soon. As we write this we can’t help but miss the camaraderie shared between our fellow cattleman at the shows, sales and events that have been cancelled this fall. As we look back at the Facebook memories from Ag Ex, Agribition and the fall sale run we wish all of our friends and colleages the best of luck as we try to navigate through this “new normal” and wish we could be there to share in your excitement and cheer you on in person. Thankfully, we have such great technology available to us to be able to watch online and still be a part of the action. Hats off to the tech crews, videograhpers and sale staff that have been working extra hard to get these events online, your hard work and dedication is appreciated more than you could ever know! On a sad note, would like to express our dearest sympathies to the Browarny family on the passing of their son Corbin. Our condolences also go out to the Groeneveld family on the passing of Charles (Chuck). Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. As we embark on the holiday season, we would like to thank you all for your support over the past year. We wish all of our Simmental friends and family a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2021! Cheers! John & Joanne
