Vol. 23 • Issue 2 • Mar/Apr 2015
By: Bev Summerbell
Now that we are home from
the National Western Stock Show
in Denver, it is fun to sit back and
reflect on the events of the week.
There were a few “firsts” this year
and I would like to share them
with you.
The week started off with the
induction ceremony for Herman
Symens into the NALF “Hall of
Fame”. It was fun to be part of
the committee and be in on the
“planning stages” of such an important event. I remember the look
of surprise on Herman and Judy’s
face when they were given the
news back in May – thinking they
were there for a birthday party for
Tom Vaughn.
Monday brought the opening of
the Hospitality Tent in the Yards.
NALF sponsored the tent and
Heartland had the volunteers to
staff the tent during the week. We
made the coffee, which was a must
on the cold days and also brought
the Heartland popcorn popper.
Making the popcorn proved
more of a challenge than we
thought. The boxes of popcorn
and oil were in the back of our
truck. We unloaded it Monday
morning and thought we were
“good to go”. Unfortunately, the
oil froze in the packages. I thought
if I put the frozen chunks in the hot
popper, it would melt and be just
fine. No such luck! I got a batch
of smelly, burned popcorn.
Brooks Jeral Marthaler was born on
January 20, 2015. Parents are Jake
and Rachel Marthaler of Hastings,
MN. Grandparents are Jerry and
Linda Wulf of Morris, mn and Steve
and Jeanne Marthaler of Hastings.
Brooks was welcomed home by his
brother, Levi and sister, Emery.
Our next idea was to melt the
oil by holding a package on the hot
coffee pot and another one in front
of the propane heater. This took
time, but eventually the oil did
melt and we had delicious popcorn.
It was a long, slow process to melt
each package, but we made it work
the first day.
We took the boxes into our hotel
room, thinking that the oil would
melt overnight. When we took
out the first package, it was still
frozen solid. We had another day
of trying to melt the oil as best as
we could. We knew that we had
to not only take the packages out
of the boxes at night, but we also
needed to put them on the heater
Reno Darrell Vig was born February
3, 2015 at 1:33 P.M. He weighed 7
lbs 6 oz and was 20 1/2 in long. Very
blessed parents are JT and Kelsey
Vig of Opal, SD and he joins big sister
Brixie Rain Vig.
in the hotel room.
Another first for me was to
cover all the shows on the Hill by
myself. Dean’s knee was really
bothering him. He tried walking
up the incline to get to the barn on
the Hill on Monday, but he ended
up in so much pain that he decided
it would be his last trip. As a result,
I took the camera, watched the
shows and took the photos.
Dean and I ended our week
having one of the most delicious
meals we have ever eaten at Del
Frisco’s. The steak was so tender
that it melted in your mouth. I can
see why it is such a popular place
to dine. We also had a great meal
at The Keg in downtown Denver
when we first arrived in Denver.
We started and ended our week
with wonderful steak dinners!
Limousin
enthusiasts enjoy
the Hospitality tent
in the Yards.
Dean Summerbell and Norma Effertz have two different methods for thawing
the oil.
Emily and Jeff Wynn were married
on December 6, 2014 in Des Moines,
IA. Emily is the daughter of Dan
and Linda Brewer, Brewer Farms
Limousin, Dallas Center, IA. The newest addition to Eggbar
Limousin is Chloe Rahnea Martin born
January 29, 2015. She weighed 8 lbs.
2 oz. Parents are Rebecca Garcia
and T.J. Martin from Brookings, SD.

Herman Symens Inducted Into NALF “Hall of Fame”
Herman Symens of Symens
Hills Limousin and Limi Gene was
inducted into the North American
Limousin Foundation “Hall of
Fame” Sunday evening, January
11, 2015 at the Double Tree Hotel
in Denver, Colorado. The ceremony took place in conjunction with
the National Western Stock Show.
A standing room only crowd
was on hand to congratulate Herman and his wife, Judy of Sisseton,
South Dakota on this prestigious
award. The Limousin breed acknowledges the accomplishments
of their long-time supporters and
breeders through the “Hall of
Fame”.
The program began with a
review of the Symens accomplishments and praise for their
commitment to the Limousin breed
highlighted by speeches from six
presenters. Tom Vaughn, former
NALF board member of Cavalier,
North Dakota, nominated Herman
for the award. He gave a review
of the process that was involved
in nominating a candidate for this
award and the unique way that
Herman was told of the award.
Dean Summerbell, Executive
Secretary of the Heartland Limousin Association, gave an overview
of Herman’s career highlights and
his dedication to the cattle industry
as well as stories about his involvement with the youth. He also
commented on the knowledge and
advice he has gotten from Herman
over the years.
Bob Yackley of Onida, South
Dakota, long-time Limousin
breeder and former NALF president, commented on Herman and
Judy’s continued support of the
South Dakota Limousin Association. He also talked about the
7
ments and memories with
our friends, competitors
and business partners in the
Limousin breed.”
The evening concluded
with remarks from Jerry
Effertz, friend and fellow
Limousin breeder from
Velva, North Dakota. His
comments summed up the
evening and focused on
“friends”, a word that captures the spirit of Herman
and Judy.

Peterson Limousin Beef
This Blu Ox Burger, served at
FireLake Grill House & Cocktail
Bar in downtown Minneapolis,
MN, received some great “press”
from the Food Network. Chef
Jim Kyndberg uses the Craftsman
blend of ground beef supplied by
Peterson Limousin Beef of Osceola, WI in his famous burger.
This burger was recently named
one of the nation’s best burgers.
According to the menu, “You have
to use both hands when eating this
burger, one to hold it and the other
to wipe the juices that flow down
your chin when you bite into it.”
A HISTORY
OF PERFORMANCE
Since 1973, Bruner Limousin has raised
Limousin cattle representative of
what the breed was founded on. Our
goal has been to keep the integrity of
the breed while continuing to improve
on the genetics we raise. Our genetics
have enough eye appeal to compete at
all levels, however their true value is
realized in the pasture and on the rail.
Through the generations, we have seen
the fads come and go. However, we have
held to our convictions of raising calvingease cattle that pack on the pounds.
“Master BRUN” genetics are synonymous
with reliable Limousin that perform
under the toughest conditions Mother
Nature dishes out. We raise both RED and
BLACK Limousin with 98% being polled.
CURVE-BENDING GENETICS—combining
calving-ease, fertility and docility with
the performance-oriented cattle for the
profit-minded cattlemen.
That’s Bruner Limousin.

New NALF Multi-Breed EPDs
NALF has joined a multi-breed
genetic evaluation through International Genetic Solutions (IGS).
This shift has many benefits for
Limousin breeders and their commercial customers.
First, growth and carcass EPDs
for Limousin, Lim-Flex, Gelbvieh,
Balancer, Simmental, SimAngus,
and Red Angus are now directly
comparable, simplifying breeding
decisions.
Second, NALF EPDs have
greater predictability from the
largest multi-breed data set in the
world.
For more information on the
shift, fall and spring 2015 EPD
comparisons, across breed comparisons, and spring 2015 breed
averages, download the “Understanding the New Limousin EPDs”
guide from the NALF website.
