Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on the past year. At Mappin Simmentals, we have so much to be thankful for; everyone is healthy, the agriculture industry is very strong in Alberta in both the grain and cattle sector, and the future continues to look bright.  Some days, it is so easy to get caught up in our own problems, whether it be challenging weather conditions, equipment break-downs, sick calves, issues affecting the markets; but at the end of the day we are so fortunate to live where we live and be doing what we love.
We are also thankful for our very loyal customers who, year after year, put their trust in us and our bull program. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about how very fortunate we are to know so many fantastic people in the catte business, and not only be able to call many great cattle men and women customers, but also call them friends.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
