Stockgrowers honored at Black Hills show
South Dakota The South Dakota Stockgrowers Association applauds Jim Reed, Belle Fourche and Delores Knuppe, New Underwood, two of the honorees recognized at the Black Hills Stock Show Stockmen's Banquet and Ball on Jan. 31 in Rapid City. SDSGA President Rick Fox, Hermosa, says that both individuals have been active members of the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association for several years, participating in different ways. "Both Jim and Delores have been an asset to our organization. Jim as our head brand inspector and Delores as an involved member who attends local meetings and asks the right questions." Reed, who was chosen as the BHSS Agribusiness Person of the Year, has been employed by the SDSGA as their Chief Brand Inspector for about 15 years. In addition to the pair of ostrich skin boots he received from the BHSS, Reed was also recognized by his fellow brand inspectors, and honored with a belt buckle inscribed with his name, position and the year. The SDSGA also gifted Reed with an iron cut-out of the SDSGA 'horse and rider' logo. Knuppe joined the Stockgrowers when they became affiliated with R-CALF USA. She was presented with the BHSS Hall of Fame Silver Spur award for her dedication and contributions of time and resources to the BHSS throughout the years. She received a pair of handmade silver spurs from the BHSS. Fox said that he was not surprised to learn that two SDSGA members had been selected for the prestigious BHSS honors. "Our members are active, informed producers who truly want to make a difference in our industry. Jim and Delores are perfect examples of this. We are proud to call them members of the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association and we tip our hats to their accomplishments!" B 18 2/26/07 6 Star Midwest Ag Date: 2/21/07
