Message from the APA President:
I have to admit that it is difficult to think about this column while enjoying 80+ degree weather in Hawaii. I know many of you have been suffering through -0 temperatures, snow and wind.
We will have a Board meeting in early March and one of the items that will be on the agenda will be the realignment of some of the regions. This has been talked about before and I know it is a sensitive topic! We have a request from a couple of regions to explore this again and we will do so. According to our bylaws, if your region would like to be considered, you must contact the Board in writing.
The 503C trust is nearly finished thanks to Pam Shay-Bryant. This will allow tax deductable contributions for youth scholarships.
Beef prices remain low and feed prices high here in the Northwest. I'm sure it's the same in your region. We keep hoping things will change. I trust that calving is going well for you.
Was nice to see several new advertisers in the last issue of our magazine. Thank you to all who advertise as that's how we will continue to publish The Journal. Please continue to send photos and articles to our magazine for publication!
As always, if you have concerns, questions or suggestions please feel free to contackt me and continue to register those good calves.
Until next time, may your calves be above average, your expenses below average and your days sunny and bright.

Message from the APA Treasurer
The past two months have been stronger for the Association with a good amount of registrations and transfers. This is the half way point in our fiscal year. Registrations are up 33% and transfers up 38%. Keep registering your cattle as much of our income comes from registrations and transfers.
The APA Board of Directors is continuing to work to collect the past due accounts. So if you are past due on your account, please make an effort to get your account current. The APA office willnot process work for past due accounts. The APA office will take credit cards.
Annual dues were due in December. If you haven't paid them, please do so soon. One advantage to being a member is the member rates to register and transfer cattle.
