Photo taken at Kenner Simmental Ranch, Leeds, ND. SD SimmenTeller & ND Simmental Scene | 1 Editor’s Message Bull sale season is in full swing and so is calving for many! Both happen to be my favorite times of the year. Bull sales are a lot of work, but they are also social events where producers are able to share stories and compare failures and successes! Calving is also a lot of work, but it is fun to see the new genetics hit the ground and honestly, baby anythings are quite cute! Erika Kenner Editor As I’ve watched all the ads come in for these last two issues, I’ve noticed a smorgasbord of quality livestock for sale this year! No matter what your needs are in your operation, you can find it in this area of the country!
