NOT A BIG RUN YESTERDAY. HOPEFULLY IT WAS DUE TO THE WEATHER CONCERNS. WE AVOIDED SOME OF THE WORST WEATHER AND THAT WAS A BLESSING. THESE COLD, DAMP DAYS WILL TAKE A TOLL ON YOUR LIVESTOCK. HOPEFULLY WE ARE GOING SEE SOME SUNSHINE SOMETIME THIS WEEK. THE OLD SAYING IS THAT “JANUARY WILL SHAKE THEM AND FEBRUARY WILL TAKE THEM”. PROVIDE EXTRA ENERGY TO YOUR CATTLE TO KEEP THEM HEALTHY. COWS NURSING CALVES REQUIRE EXTRA ATTENTION.
ACTUALLY, THE MARKET REPORT SHOWED STEERS AND HEIFERS A LITTLE HIGHER. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE MARKET REPORT DOES NOT SHOW YOUR DAIRY CROSS CALVES OR YOUR SPOTTED CALVES OR ROPING TYPE HORNED CALVES. SLAUGHTER COWS AND BULLS WERE DOWN JUST A TOUCH. SELECTION ON THE PAIRS AND BRED COWS WERE PRETTY SLIM. NOT A LOT OF ACTIVITY ON SOME CLASSES OF BRED COWS. RICO LEE BROUGHT US A NICE SET OF BRED COWS AND VACCINATED CALVES. GROUPS OF SORTED, UNTAGGED STEERS, WEIGHING 483# SOLD FOR $1.44. A NICE GROUP WEIGHING 463# THAT SOLD FOR $1.54. WE APPRECIATE MR. LEE FOR TRUSTING US TO MARKET HIS CALVES.
THANKS TO THE BOARD WE ARE STILL WORKING TO IMPROVE YOUR BARN. WE RECENTLY INSTALLED A WELL THAT WILL ALLOW US TO WATER THE BACK OF THE BARN AT A LOWER COST. FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE INSTALLING AN OVERHEAD SPRINKLER SYSTEM TO REDUCE DUST IN THE ALLEYS. THIS WILL SERVE TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR CATTLE AS WELL AS BETTER THE WORKING CONDITIONS FOR THE EMPLOYEES. WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
ENCLOSED YOU WILL FIND A SUBSCRIPTION FORM TO “GULF COAST CATTLEMAN”. THIS PUBLICATION IS FREE!!!! THEY HAVE GREAT AND EDUCATIONAL ARTICLES AS WELL AS NEWS ON OUR CATTLE INDUSTRY. I ENJOY MY COPY EVERY MONTH AND URGE YOU TO APPLY. THANKS FOR YOUR PATRONAGE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE.
SINCERELY,
MIKE KEENE
