BLACKSBURG BEEF OPERATION HONORED

A farm here has received two awards of excellence from the American Simmental Association.

McDonald Farms received the awards recognizing outstanding Simmental and Simbrah females.

The awards are based on data gathered through the association's performance testing program.

To qualify for the award, a cow must produce outstanding calves at regular intervals.

The farm has been a member of the association since 1986.
