Hello Everyone:
Our bull and bred heifer sale will be in 3 days, Lord willing, at 11 am here at our headquarters. We are 5 miles north of hwy 136 at 1900 and Road M, or, from hwy 78, 3 miles west on Road N then south one mile to M. Google will take you down Road M off of hwy 78 and west to our place, this will NOT work! If you have questions about directions, or anything, please email, text or give us a call to get things cleared up.
Food: You are welcome to enjoy a free, all you can eat hamburger meal on us at any time before, during or after the sale. We will also have beef dogs (custom made at our butcher shop NOT hot dogs) and a large selection of pop. My mom will be making potato salad and beans for sides. I’ve heard rumor that mom will also be making cinnamon rolls for breakfast before the sale. Dad will be on coffee. I don’t know how to make any of that!
The snow has been moved…now I would prefer it stays that way until sale day…and that no more falls. Do you want to feel better about how much snow you’ve had? Lake Tahoe has had over 400” of snow this season…no, didn’t make me feel any better either.
Our headquarters has 3 “U” shaped driveways which you will be able to park on. Every driveway, for the most part, has had the snow moved in such a way that there should be room for a vehicle/pickup/trailer and a free lane beside it. You will have to park off to the side of the driveway in order for this to be the case. There should be plenty of parking but we can help you find something if you don’t see any.
Corrections: To those of you who have helped us see our mistakes…thank you. If you notice others please bring them to our attention and we will aim to make the necessary corrections. The lead-off Hereford bull, lot #1, had the incorrect registration number and name and lots 2, 3, 4 and 5 had incorrect names. The website is now updated with the corrections. Anyone with a catalog will still have the mistakes. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this.
Time…always tells the tale. I can’t get a handle on what to expect with the bulls. It seems there has been the most interest in the Herefords followed by the Red Angus then the Composites. As is typical, there is significant interest in the heifers. I’m still at the point where I’d rather have to sell 1000 heifers than 50 bulls. Our reputation is starting to grow and for that I am thankful, which means for our past and current customers I am thankful. Without you there is no reputation to grow.
God’s grace to all of you.
