South Dakota Stockgrowers to Hold Area Meetings

All cattle industry participants invited

Rapid City/The South Dakota Stockgrowers Association (SDSGA) encourages everyone involved in the cattle industry to make plans to attend upcoming Area Meetings across the state for a free dinner and discussion about current cattle industry issues.

Kicking off the weekend, ranchers in the Meadow, S.D., area should plan to meet at Smokey’s Bar and Grill on Friday, March 2, 2007, at 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time. SDSGA District 8 Director Bill Kluck, Mud Butte, S.D., will discuss animal identification and SDSGA Vice President Larry Nelson, Buffalo, S.D., will address other cattle industry issues including property rights, the “Over 30 Month Rule” and the Beef Checkoff.

Next, the Stockgrowers hope local ranchers will head to the Vivian Restaurant and Lounge on Saturday, March 3, 2007, at 6:00 p.m. Central Time, to hear from SDSGA President Rick Fox, Hermosa, S.D., and Vice President Nelson. Topics will include the Open Fields Doctrine, Beef Checkoff and the “Over 30 Month Rule.”

Finally, the Stockgrowers invite producers in and around the Lake Preston area to head to town on Sunday evening, March 4, 2007 at 5:30 pm Central Time, for the last meeting of the weekend. Meeting location is yet to be determined. Fox and Nelson will both speak, covering industry issues similar to the previous meetings.

A meal will be served at each meeting, compliments of the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association.
