Note on back: "Several University areas were represented at the luncheon to honor Frieda and Reinhold Termuende, a sister and brother from Lanigan in recognition of the substantial gift of their 1900 acre farm some 75 miles east of Saskatoon. Frieda Termuende is fifth from the front on the right side. Reinhold Termuende, sporting a white carnation, is two places farther down on the same side".

Bio/Historical Note: The Johann and Johanne Sophie Termunde family established a farm near Lanigan in 1909, and it was the home for many years of the Four Square Herefords. When the last two siblings of the Termuende family remaining in Canada, Reinhold (1899-1963) and Frieda (b. 1895), retired from farming in 1964, the family farm was entrusted to the University of Saskatchewan for agricultural research. with stipulations that the wildlife habitat on the farm would be respected, and that the Termundes would remain in their home. The university managed the Termunde Research Farm until 1998 when the WBDC was established as a partnership between the university, province, and beef and forage producers to continue the research program at the farm. Since 2005 it has operated as a division of the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute. This year’s summer field day at the Western Beef Development Centre (WBDC) marked the end of an era at Termuende Research Ranch, but the Termuende family legacy that underpinned the development of a dedicated forage-beef research and outreach program will live on when the WBDC program moves to the new Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence (LFCE) southeast of Saskatoon on 1 April 2018.

Bio/historical note: Frieda and Reinhold Termuende, a sister and brother from Lanigan, donated their 1900 acre farm some 75 miles of Saskatoon in 1975.
