Multi-tasking. That seems to be the word of the day (or the month) around MCF. May and June always seem to be one of the busiest times of year around the farm as we wrap up calving and spring planting. Now it's on to hay making, show season and the Football Frenzy sale preparation.
Travis Pierce and I were able to sneak away over Memorial Day weekend for a 3 day cattle tour in Indiana. What a blast! Going from farm to farm looking at cows and calves probably isn't the most desirable vacation for the average person, but for cattle junkies nothing is better. We had the pleasure of viewing cattle at 8 different operations and saw a lot of quality cattle. Thanks to Albin Farms, Lorenzen Farms, Beck-Powell Herefords, Kottkamp Herefords, Ramsey Herefords, Showtime Cattle Company, Miller Herefords and Able Acres.
The summer show season kicks off in the next week as we head to the Illinois Junior Preview in Salem, IL. Good luck to all of our customers showing there. The following weekend we will be in Monroe, WI for the Regional Junior Preview and then Junior Nationals in Kansas City.
It's hard to believe that our 2nd annual fall sale is only 4 months away! We're going to have a nice set of heifers and steers for everyone to evaluate and select from. The plan is to get some pictures up on the blog and website as the month progresses. Thanks to all the visitors that have already stopped by. There's nothing better than walking the pastures and showing off our herd.
Last, but not least, thanks to everyone that participated in our "contest" on the last blog post. We had a great response with people signing up to follow the blog. Hats are going out to Cole Baker, Cassie Bacon and BJ Jones for being the fist few to sign up.
