The American Simmental Association (ASA) membership recently concluded its election, voting six cattle producers from across the country to their board of trustees. The ASA Board of Trustees is the Association’s governing body, consisting of 16 members from across the United States. Each was formally sworn in during ASA’s Annual Meeting, held the last week of January, 2023.
