Heck... ranching may even seem easy right now! The grass was great, crops good and the fall has never been better!Optimism in agriculture is contagious right now, no matter what segment you are in.Iron is still to high... it doesn’t divide, it just depreciates. Cows multiply, harvest and never need refuelling or programming. When you think on the right side of a cow... she really works.Our “hard-nosed, dirt on the pants” program geared to “more grass and less diesel” is not the new buzz word here... it is just what we do.

uniform, and all users in the commercial industry. Don’t get us wrong, we love the
good ones, we just want them all like that, and pen lots of them... it works!!

program with 0% interest.Pay us 60% down sale day, leave a
post dated cheque for the 40% due July 1, 2012, O.A.C. plus sign a legal
lending agreement.It’s simple...it’s easy and it helps us all.
Give me a call “Bill the Bull Guy”any time - any day.
One big welcome to everyone in agriculture and to those that are on the outside thinking of joining our ranks. Last year we were talking of significantly better returns, well the returns are getting even better and who knows what level we may reach this time around, and you know, its about “our turn.”
We all know that as our returns rise so will all our
costs. We need to be very diligent to watch cost and
maintain the type of cattle that will be profitable.
Every year we get the privilege to do business with new and interesting people in
the livestock industry. We find it so exciting to exchange ideas and learn from you our customers. We truly do listen to what our bull customers tell us and use that to direct our breeding program. Our genetics has the most enviable record in the industry for profitability, cow size, longevity and customer satisfaction.
The search for genetic improvement never ends at this ranch. We are constantly sampling profit oriented genetics, either from within the herd or through purchases or AI. We measure and record our progress each year, but in our world no one gives us ribbons or pictures for cows that graze all winter, how little diesel burned or how uniform the entire pen of cattle is. Our customers are the winners.
When you’re charting your course... stop and look... become one of our many repeat, satisfied customers, you’ll be darn glad that you did.
We are in it for the long haul, with the next generation ready to step up. As we expand, we never lose sight that these cows need to work harder than we do... or the game is over.
We would personally like to invite you to call, email or use the clip and mail to discuss bulls, cows and our future together in the cattle industry.
