Kickin' Off Fall Photo Friday!

It's officially the fall season! There have been a few sales and events which indicate so, whether the actual weather makes it feel that way or not.

This past Friday we kicked off "Fall Photo Friday" on the American Shorthorn Association Facebook page and did we have quite the entry to start it off with!

Anthony Bradshaw tagged us in a photo on Instagram, which he then shared on the Facebook fan page. If this doesn't say festive, fall and Shorthorns, we don't know what does! Thanks to Anthony for sharing a little bit of fall with us from Michigan!

To get your photo featured, share it on the ASA or AJSA Facebook pages, tag us on Twitter!

Field Representative Jake Alden is on the move again, this time to Ohio for the Farm Science Review where the Ohio Shorthorn Breeder's Association has put on an exceptional display to promote Shorthorns. 

Check out some of these snapshots from their promotional booth! 

 

 

 

Have you ever been to the Farm Science Review and what did you think? Did you see their booth?

ASA Fall Board Meeting Review

Between rounding out a few PACE shows and starting up sale season, the ASA staff has been busy with some planning meetings with committees and the ASA Board of Directors. Standing committees met via conference call in the weeks leading up to the board meeting this last weekend in preparation for any recommendations they might have.  

Montie Soules, ASA Executive Secretary/CEO provided a few key notes from the three-day board meeting held in the Omaha office:

• I would like to personally thank the ASA BOD for their time and commitment that made our most recent meeting a success; we covered many issues and topics in depth.

• I also want to thank the entire ASA staff for their dedication and involvement providing detailed information and presentations to the board for their consideration and discussion. It was a tremendous team effort from the staff.

• I would also like to recognize the breed committees who met through conference calls to provide additional detailed information giving the board direction.

"The board/staff/committee cooperation has become a Big Team Effort, leading to more involvement from membership and giving membership a bigger say in the actions of our association."

Please read Montie’s full overview of the meeting in the “Association Outlook” column in the October issue of Shorthorn Country.
