Michigan Cattleman’s Association was pleased to announce that beef from a well- known Michigan cattleman was fed in the “White House” during the last 4th of July celebration in our nation’s capital.
Don Nevill began his Angus herd with the family dairy farm when he was 14 years old (he won’t tell us how many years ago that was). After he started Nevill Fence Supply, their dairy was closed down and the beef cow herd began ramping up.
Don is a past board member of Michigan Cattleman’s Association, which many of us feel is the most effective farm producer support organization in the state. We decided to join MCA after our second year as an exhibitor at Spring Beef Expo and meeting their dynamic manager, George Quackenbush, who explained to us ways that MCA coordinates with efforts of the national beef checkoff run by USDA.
We were also influenced by Earl Souva of Great Lakes Sire Service (Bronson MI), which is one of the leading custom semen collection and bull housing facilities in the Midwest. Earl is a recent past president of MCA who originally invited us to participate in Spring Beef Expo. His business is qualified to ship semen around the world, which is a potential support benefit to Michigan purebred breeders.
