Blog Thoughts!

It is hard to believe that it is almost July already,

 but today is supposed to be really hot. 

The weather report last night on the news said

 that we could see the first 100 degree temps since 2006 in Iowa.

 We normally do some weaning of the sale calves

about now, but that is going to have to wait until it cools off a bit.

  We met with Noll Ernst and Ryan Habeger

 the other day and we are going to offer

the online bidding for this year's Showman's Choice sale. 

 I think this will just give our buyers another

chance to view the calves through video

and an opportunity to bid online.

  For anyone still wanting to do their bidding

the way they always have by phone or in person,

 they can still do that too. 

Rieck and Lents will have their calves at

 Mittag Show Cattle by Labor Day weekend

you can start viewing the calves then.

  Tucker has been working on the August magazine ads

and I think the one that our blog viewers chose

 for the Showman's Choice Sale is awesome. 

 The ad really says what we are all about....

"High Quality calves for the Showman!" 

 Since we are part of the Summer Sensation group

this year, it has been great working with them putting

the ads together and getting to know them. 

 We are looking forward to a fun sale season.

  County Fairs are coming soon

 and I have a bunch of them to judge again

this year and I always look forward

 to working with the kids.

 I hope you all have a great summer

 and we look forward to seeing many of you in September.

  Keep watching the blog!
