SD Stockgrowers and R-CALF Area Meetings in Morristown and Timber Lake Everyone Welcome Rapid City – Jess Peterson, R-CALF USA lobbyist will address cattle producers in the Morristown, S.D., and Timber Lake, S.D., communities on January 17, 2006. According to South Dakota Stockgrowers Association (SDSGA) District 6 Director Buck Ward, Timber Lake, S.D., local ranchers and other interested folks are invited to stop by the Buzzard’s Roost at 1:00 pm in Morristown, S.D., where a no-host lunch will be available. Ward also invites producers to the Dakota Landmark Café at 6:00 pm in Timber Lake, S.D. for a free supper. Peterson will speak at each meeting, as well as SDSGA Vice President Larry Nelson, Buffalo, S.D. Ward says that the meeting is not just for members – everyone is welcome. Pat Becker, Selfridge, N.D., will speak on behalf of the Independent Beef Producers of North Dakota (I-BAND) at the Morristown meeting. Larry Nelson says that R-CALF and the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association work hand in hand on a number of issues, including trade, marketing and competition. “We encourage local ranchers to mark January 17, 2006 on their calendars, and make a point to attend our meetings,” Nelson said. “Jess Peterson, R-CALF’s lobbyist, does an outstanding job representing ranchers in Washington, D.C., and I sure look forward to hearing about the latest issues he’s working on. He comes from a ranching family and understands well the ins and outs of the business.” For more information contact Carrie Stadheim at 605-342-0429.
