Bull sale season is in full swing and so is calving for many! Both happen to be my favorite times of the year. Bull sales are a lot of work, but they are also social events where producers are able to share stories and compare failures and successes! Calving is also a lot of work, but it is fun to see the new genetics hit the ground and honestly, baby anythings are quite cute!

As I’ve watched all the ads come in for these last two issues, I’ve noticed a smorgasbord of quality livestock for sale this year! No matter what your needs are in your operation, you can find it in this area of the country! The January issue was full

of early sales, but make sure to pay attention to the March and April sales in this issue as well.

This will be the last issue again until November. We always keep trying to make our mailing list better. If you are receiving too many copies, please let me know. Also, if you know of a neighbor, friend, or customer who isn’t receiving it and want them added, send me their information.

Good luck in the 2015 year and I wish everyone a successful sale & calving season!

Sincerely,Erika
