As most of you may be aware of by now , NALF is losing a valuable asset and great young man . Joe Epperly is leaving NALF for a wonderful opportunity to manage the cow operation of the storied Wagonhammer Ranch in Albion , Nebraska . Joe has been a dedicated and hardworking employee the past seven years and we will miss him tremendously . Through his guidance and knowledge , he has been instrumental in the upgrade of services now offered by NALF . That list includes the incorporation of genomicenhanced EPDs , implementation of a new registry system , conversion to SNP parentage , and he was instrumental in NALF ’ s move to IGS for our international multi-breed cattle evaluation , just to name a few . Much of this change would not have been possible without him . Luckily , we have been able to retain some of Joe ’ s services on a contractual basis as we move to BOLT over the next year and continue to upgrade services available for Limousin breeders . I can ’ t say thank you enough and wish you nothing but success in the future , Mr . Epperly . I
