February

Posted @ 5:59 pm by Evan

January was very busy and rewarding at the Evan Slack Network, wrapping up the month in Phoenix at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the American National Cattle Women and the Cattlemen’s Beef Board convention in the Arizona capitol. The mood pretty well fit under the banner of guarded optimism. We got a lot of good interviews from ranchers and feeders alike from across this great land.

And President Andy Groseta recognized us before a large livestock leaders and media reception for continuous coverage of NCBA over the last 50 years. Thanks Andy.

While in Phoenix I attended a media breakfast put on by Pfizer Animal Health and my good friend, Chuck Zimmerman, snapped a picture of me interviewing Dale Groteleuschen, DVM.

To Greeley for the Colorado Farm Show of which we have reported on since it’s inception 45 years ago. Lots of so called big iron, the latest from the various machinery manufactures including GPS steering and calibrating along with 250 other exhibits of interest to farmers and ranchers. This sandwiched in between PHOENIX and 16 days covering the world’s largest livestock show, the National Western. And here we were honored for our coverage over the last 50 years, missing only 2-days and that to Orlando for the AFBF Annual Meeting.

And as the 103 annual National Western Stock Show was starting, we attended the Rocky Mountain Bean Dealers Convention, followed by the Rocky Mountain Agri-business Convention (chemical & fertilizer dealers and reps).

The International Beef Conference afforded us the opportunity of several good interviews with industry leaders.
