Bayfield residents join Angus association

James and Sharon Glassmaker of Bayfield are new members of the American Angus Association.

The association is the largest beef breed association in the world. Its computerized records include detailed information about nearly 19 million registered Angus. The association records ancestral information, keeps production records on individual animals and develops industry-leading selection tools for its members. These programs and services help members select and mate the best animals in their herds to produce quality genetics for the beef cattle industry and quality beef for consumers.

Positions filled on wild horse board

The Bureau of Land Management announced that it has made selections for three positions on the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board.

The BLM has chosen Callie Hendrickson of Grand Junction as a new appointee for the category of General Public; June C. Sewing of Cedar City, Utah, as a new appointee for the category of Wild Horse and Burro Advocacy; and veterinarian Dr. Boyd M. Spratling of Deeth, Nev., as a reappointee to the category of Veterinary Medicine. They will serve three-year terms as members of the Advisory Board.

The nine-member board advises the BLM, an agency of the Interior Department, and the U.S. Forest Service, part of the Agriculture Department, on the management, protection and control of wild, free-roaming horses and burros on public lands and national forests administered by those agencies, as mandated by the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.

Members of the board, who represent various categories of interests, must have a demonstrated ability to analyze information, evaluate programs, identify problems, work collaboratively and develop corrective actions.
