The Fullblood Simmental Fleckvieh Federation (FSFF)has
as its objectives the development and promotion of
Fullblood Simmental and Fullblood Fleckvieh cattle. The
FSFF will initiate programs to educate beef producers
on the important economic traits of Fullblood Simmental
and Fullblood Fleckvieh cattle, to promote the use of
Fullblood Simmental and Fullblood Fleckvieh beef cattle
genetics, and to preserve and successfully market the
breeds in North America and worldwide to both purebred
and commercial beef producers.
The FSFF
will cooperate with the American Simmental Association,
the Canadian Simmental Association, and other similar
registry associations for Simmental and Fleckvieh cattle
breeds worldwide.

Dear FSFF Members, FSFFjr Members and Friends of the FSFF:
After several months of waiting, we have been granted permission by the North American International Livestock Exposition Commission to establish our first FSFF JUNIOR FULLBLOOD SIMMENTAL SHOW for the 2012 NAILE. This is a huge vote of confidence from the NAILE authorities and allows us to envision being a part of that International venue for some time to come.
So, that being said, as well as having our FSFF Benefit Fundraiser, our 2012 Annual Membership Meeting, our Fullbloods included in the North American Select Simmental Sale again this year, and our FSFF International Fullblood Show - the Pinnacle, we will feature an inaugural FSFF Junior Fullblood Simmental Show on Sunday, November 11th, at 8am in Broadbent Arena.
Much more information regarding this event will be published as soon as it is available. We will be looking for a judge , building a class schedule and fine tuning the rules and regulations. The entry forms will go out at the same time the Pinnacle forms are mailed.
The FSFF hopes you are pleased with this accomplishment. Larry Maxey and FSFF President Anne-Marie Rasch have been working diligently toward this success and deserve a hi-five when next you see them.
Sincerely, Faith Burton
