As we look back on another wonderful spring and summer of shows and our first ever Field Day, we want to thank everyone who joined us. More than anything, these activities are reunions, and have always been about our farm family—seeing one another, sharing stories, learning, laughing together and keeping connections alive.
Our "reunions" have changed over the past couple of years. While some members step away from farming responsibilities and physically pass on the tradition to their children, others are starting fresh. Some who have held annual in-person sales have shifted to online. Others believe their days of grooming young heifers for the showring is behind them. Life happens. Change occurs. As cattle ranchers, it's a concept we recognize all too well.
We very much would like to see our traditions expanded upon. So, as spring of 2027 approaches and we look toward the future, we would love your thoughts.
What would you like to see for our association? Are there activities, educational opportunities, social gatherings, or new traditions you would enjoy being part of? Perhaps there is something you've thought about for years but never had the opportunity to pursue. Maybe you have an idea that would bring a new generation of families into the fold, or a simple way to help longtime members stay connected.
An association is only as strong as the people who make it one, and the future of our farm family is something we can build together. You don't have to serve on a board or take on a major responsibility to make a difference. Sometimes, all it takes is sharing an idea, lending a hand, or being willing to help bring people together.
