The WHA board of directors convened the first of May to discuss
upcoming events this year,
rule changes, and sponsorships. High lights of the meeting are
as follows:
The 2011 State Sale was discussed. The board is in the process
of reviewing how the saleis paid out, possible rule changes for
2012, the number of bulls in the sale, a presale
parade, and the screening process. An open forum meeting will be
held Sunday, August
14th, at Wisconsin State Fair Park to get members input on how
to improve and enhance
the sale.
Appointed to represent the WHA on the Wisconsin Cattlemens board
were SondraBrancel and Kermit Rhiner.
Plans for the 2011 Ultimate Calf Sale were laid out. The sale
was moved to Sunday,October 23rd, to avoid a conflict with the AHA
Annual Meeting and the American Royal
in Kansas City the last weekend in October. Entry fees for steer
calves was raised from
$25 to $50. There was one rule change. For the 2011 sale and
2012 show, only calves
that are sold through the sale ring that day will be eligible
for the Ultimate Steer Class at
Jefferson.
