The Canadian Simmental Association (CSA) is pleased to announce the induction of a group of very influential Simmental breeders into the Canadian Simmental Hall of Fame. Ron and Carla Nolan, Markdale, ON; Barry LaBatte, Gladmar, SK; Earl Ballard, Saskatoon, SK; and Maxwell Simmentals, Viking, AB are all long time-leaders within the Simmental breed and well-deserving of this honourable award. The prestigious Canadian Simmental Hall of Fame award is given to past or present CSA members who have contributed to the expansion and growth of the Simmental breed, and who are leaders not only within the Association but also within the entire beef industry and their community. Inductees are nominated by their fellow breeders and recognized for their involvement in their provincial association and their contribution to the Canadian Simmental Association. “On behalf of the CSA Board of Directors and all of its members, we would like to welcome these Simmental breeders into the CSA Hall of Fame and thank them for their many years of dedication and commitment to the Simmental breed and the Canadian beef industry,� states CSA General Manager, Bruce Holmquist.
