Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association (SSGA) held its 109th Annual General Meeting & Convention June 5-7, 2022 at Prince of Wales Centre in Assiniboia, SK―the organization’s first in-person meeting since June 2019
“We honoured our event theme ‘The Power of Perseverance’ by announcing Gerald and Patti Anhorn of Windy Ridge Ranch in Elrose, SK, with The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA); focusing on drought preparedness; and releasing the recent findings of a meat processing study SSGA co-funded with Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture to review the opportunities and challenges for growing the province’s livestock processing sector,” SSGA’s newly-elected President Garner Deobald said.
“The severe drought has greatly-impacted herd sizes and cash flow for many cattle operations, so we have resolved to lobby all levels of government to setup a program for long-term, low interest loans to help livestock producers rebuild their breeding herds“
