"Love this steer coming out he has a bright future ahead of him. He has a lot of rib and shape throughout, he's just greener and his better days are down the road and the gal showing him does a great job."
Ring A, Cody Green

"This steer is good in his lines and angles....he just needs more groceries and he's going to be a winner down the road."
Ring B, Jim Bloomberg

THE SHOWMAN'S CHOICE SALE...CHANGES FOR 2017

First of all we would like to say "Thank You" to Rieck and Lents Show Cattle
for their 8 year participation in The Showman's Choice Sale.
Dave, Wayne and Chad have been a big reason for The Showman's Choice success.
However, as they foresee upcoming changes in their operation, they have decided to market
their cattle differently as they proceed in the future.
Therefore Mittag Show Cattle would like to wish our friends continued success and best of luck.

With that said, we are currently making plans for the 2017 Showman's Choice Sale and look forward
to the changes that this opportunity has given us.
Watch our Blog, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Ads for details on our 2017 Sale!

"CHANGES ALLOW OPPORTUNITIES.......
OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDE CHANGE....
THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE BRINGS ADDED SUCCESS"
