Fall Focus 2023 Highlights

Fall Focus 2023 took us to the Centennial State. Simmental enthusiasts, representing 28 states and 3 provinces, attended the successful gathering that was held in Denver, Colorado on August 25–29. The event featured a “Ranch Gathering,” live cattle demonstrations, a day-long educational symposium, a celebration of the Lifetime Promoter and Golden Book recipients, interactive committee meetings, and a productive board meeting. The Colorado Simmental Association (CSA) co-hosted the event and did a phenomenal job showcasing topics that not only provided a snapshot of issues important to Colorado’s beef industry, but that were arguably just as important to everyone else in attendance. A huge thank you to everyone with the CSA for their help organizing and hosting.

Ranch Gathering co-hosted by Colorado Simmental Association and Colorado Cattlemen's Association. Demonstrations were performed for pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) testing by Dr. Tim Holt and feet and leg scoring by Lane Giess.
