Comments
It was a crisp, over-cast day in the hills south of Bertrand, Neb., at Cross Diamond Cattle Company headquarters for the 15th annual sale on Dec. 14, 2020. The feeling of Christmas was in the air with snow on the ground, fresh cut greenery, and an outstanding selection of Red Angus cattle in the pens. Scott and Kim Ford, along with the Cross Diamond crew and consignors welcomed a large crowd of bidders and buyers, with cattle selling to 13 states. A strong offering of Red Angus bulls and females sold in volume from an operation known for strong maternal genetics and elite customer service.

16 December 2020.
The Australasian Telehealth Society (ATHS) has renamed itself the Australian Telehealth Society and has selected a new board, with president Jackie Plunkett standing down after almost six years in the role.
The new president is Kim Ford, an assistant director of nursing with the Tasmanian Health Service, and the vice president is Liam Caffery from the University of Queensland s Centre for Online Health.
Ms Plunkett said in her president s report that the COVID-19 pandemic had allowed telehealth to show its value.
“The ‘sell’ for telehealth is now over, now it is time for embedding it and maturing telehealth further into a more strategic offering,” she said.
