Clipped several heifers this past week that came off our 2008 sale. The exhibitors have done a great job with them and I wish them luck at the shows they will be attending the next few weeks.

I headed to Denver with my wife Becky on Friday. The weather in Denver was awesome, and the crowds of people attending were as well. I was helping Sullivan Farms from Iowa while visiting Denver, and it was a very successful trip. These cattle are all fed on the Grand 4-T-Fyer product, and the results have been excellent. In Denver, Sullivans had the Champion Shorthorn Heifer, Champion Shorthorn Plus Heifer, Champion Pen of 3 Bulls and Champion Pen of 5 Bulls. I will be headed to Fort Worth for the Junior Heifer Show this next week.

The week of January 5th was busy at Bar A, as we finished vaccinating, castrating and dehorning this year’s fall calf crop. These calves will be sold at our sale March 28th. The calves look excellent and the weather was ideal.

This week we finished up trimming feet for several customers with steers and heifers going to Fort Worth and San Antonio. Power Fuel was a big topic with many customers. We have had great luck with it increasing fat cover, and we have found that it has been beneficial to the hair as well. Several of the steers and heifers needed to be farther along, and Power Fuel is the answer.

We have trimmed feet on about 60 head since Christmas. This week I will be clipping my son Tyler’s heifer for Forth Worth and several customers’ as well. I’m excited to get to Denver later this week where I will be helping Sullivan Farms with their Shorthorns.

Have a great week!
