Extras

In my "magazine sorting project"

I have discovered numerous issues

that we have duplicates of.

They are mainly Show Circuits (2001-2008)

and a few others too.

If anyone is interested in these magazines,

"FREE"

just text or call me at 641-344-5800

Sorting Magazines

We have nearly every issue of

The National Livestock Exhibitor Magazine dating back to the mid 80s,

Every issue of The Show Circuit, ShowTimes & Livestock Plus.

We also have most issues of the ACA magazine,

the Maine Voice dating back to the early 90s,

many sale catalogs, a variety of Angus Journals

and Shorthorn County Magazines,

The Showbox Magazine

, Purple Circle Magazine and

semen Directories as old as 1990.

And believe it or not more of other various cattle publications.

We are not getting rid of these magazines (and never will)

just sorting them to put on shelves.

Good Luck to the ISU Cyclones in the Pinstripe Bowl

Good Luck Cyclones!

Thanks

Thanks to the Tucker Family for the cool Christmas gift!

Since the National Western Stock Show is coming soon and we all look forward to seeing the new promotional bulls, we thought as a lead up to Denver it would be fun to look back at some of the popular promotional bulls of the past as part of our "Blast From The Past." It's only fitting to start with a bull that is the basis of many of today's popular bulls...and he is still siring champions today himself.

This is the first in eight ‘year in review’ type posts to finish out the next two weeks.
Our visitor count this year was up 62.4% over 2010, thanks primarily to a bump of 70% in our Google referrals. For some unknown stupid reason, I take a bit of pride in the amount of traffic we send out to other sites and like to brag about it.
Not counting the ‘daily web summary’ posts or the Lautner Farms ads that are on a large portion of the site….
Since January 1st, we have sent 226,573 visitors to 2,288 different web sites/pages. The top ten…

Matt Lautner Cattle – 56,836
Brad Hook B.S. – 23,248
Diamond G Cattle – 15,012
Rodgers Cattle – 13,800

Lautner Farms – 12,017 (+ the ad)
