We have dates set for our Annual Meeting and plans are in the works. Our host for 2024 is Raymond Boykin from Mont gomery, Ala. Raymond has been raising Barzonas for decades, and typically sells bulls, heifers and even bred heif ers. We have some topics to cover this year including the fol low-up on our feed efficiency test and setting up for a second year of that. There will be a conference call number set up and available for those unable to travel to the meeting. I can also make a Zoom link if anyone prefers being able to see the room. Please shoot me a message of some sort letting me know if you want to participate, and I’ll make sure you get whatever invita tion you need! Participation is key for the association to keep moving and developing fresh ideas. On another note, we are looking for purebred and commer cial Barzona breeders to interview for content on our Facebook page! If you are willing to contribute, please give me a shout at barzonabreeders@gmail.com and we can set up an in-person or phone interview to answer a few general questions. BB Ad Index
