We reached a historic milestone here at MCF during the past few days. We now have 1 follower on the blog! LOL! At least I know one person is reading this! Now that one person broke the ice and jumped on board, let's see how many more readers can become followers. To give a small incentive, I will send a new MCF hat to the next two people that become followers of the blog! Shoot me an email after you join and let me know your address. Who says nothing in life is free?
Lot's going on around the farm lately. Just wrapping up calving season, and we have continued our run of heifer calves! To date, we've had 26 out of 40 total calves! Unbelievable...most years I'm griping that we have too many bulls!
The Airline calves continue to impress as they look to have the power and depth of body that he has. Our ET's out of Nitro x Kella and S109 x Giselle look to have the style and balance that we expected. Some of the April and May calves are sired by RRR L18 Surrender 914 ET, a horned L18 son out of River Ridge's donor Molly. The calves are coming out horned and polled and talk about style! We are excited to show these calves off to visitors.
Breeding season continues in full force with another group of ET recips coming up next week. Going to be flushing H GH Adin 9019 ET at the same time. She is an L18 out of Paula and is a full sister to the many-times champion, Belvakay. Expecting big things out of her. This year we are AI'ing to Airline, Bailout, Shock-N-Awe, Authentic and True Grit. Airline and Grit will clean everything up.
We will be on the road this summer to hit a number of shows where we will be helping our customers get cattle ready for the showring. As of right now we are planning to hit the Illinois Junior Preview Show, Wisconsin Jr. Regional, Junior Nat'l, Illinois State Fair and a bunch of county fairs. Looking forward to watching our customers lead MCF cattle into the ring...best of luck!
Plans are underway for our 2nd Annual Football Frenzy Bid-Off Sale, which will again be held on October 1st and 2nd. We will again be selling our top show heifer and steer prospects along with a few other lots. More info in the coming months.
Going to wrap this up...had a lot to write about today! As always, call or email if you want to talk cattle!

I like the hat designs. You need to install Google Analytics to your blog and that way you'll know how many people are reading, and from where. I bet you're surprised by the numbers. If you need help let me know.
