By JD Chism, Treasurer and District 3 Director G reetings from the hospitality state. I am JD Chism, your second-term District 3 Director. It has been a dry summer, and it looks like it will

extend through our Mississippi fall. We are praying for rain across the South, hoping not to have to start an early hay season. Show season has been in full swing since the National Junior Santa Gertru-

REGISTRATIONS, STAR 5 RECORDINGS AND TRANSFERS BY DISTRICT We are lucky to be having the first Southern Harvest Sale in the southern part of our state next year.

It’s been fun and hot, and we have been marketing and exhibiting our red cattle across several states the past couple of months. Our junior program is a thriving and suc- cessful one, which makes it a great marketing tool. Junior shows and junior projects attract attention from all aspects and age ranges in communities and states. Visibility of our breed prompts questions that we as breeders can answer with our cattle’s profitability and marketability.
