WE KNOW CATTLE. WE KNOW PRINTING. As spring approaches, it’s time to settle in and start preparing for your upcoming sale. There are cold months and bright [picture] days ahead. Every year, I help my family market their upcoming sale. I’m reminded, if we want to be competitive, we have to be gritty. We have to be willing to reinvent ourselves. At LivestockDirect, we’re doing just that. This spring we’re launching a new service called MailScopeTM. It changes the game by allowing you to track catalog deliveries in real-time. In short, you’ll be able to see where and when catalogs are being delivered - down to the individual customer. If you’re interested in learning more about MailScope, give us a call.

Good luck with your upcoming sale,
