The next version of LiveAuctions.tv will allow you to upload your Print Ad, your Sale Book, a video and a picture of each lot.

But that is not all, this summer we will implement video streaming from your iPhone and iPad so anyone can walk up to a show ring or a sale ring and instantly stream a live video feed through our website to yours. No matter where you are at, you will instantly be able to stream a live video back to your friends and family at home. Allowing you to focus on what matters (to you) not just what our cameras are focused on. If you like something that is selling somewhere, simply stream the video to someone that you think is interested using your own phone. 3G internet service has changed everything. If “Sale Expense Matters” let us help you “Increase Your Profits”. I’m excited about the future.

Why Salers? Why Angus? Why Not? The philosophy at Ward Ranches is like that of a supermarket. We strive to produce a quality product for you, the shopper. The Salers breed is known as the “Balanced Breed,” and the Angus breed is recognized as being the “Business Breed.” Research has shown that both breeds demonstrate the traits for calving ease, maternal ability, weight gain, feedlot performance and carcass merit. These two breeds, Angus and Salers, complement each other well. On Sunday, February 17th, the 7th Annual Ward Ranches Production Sale will offer purebred Angus, purebred Salers and Angus/Salers composites—whichever fits your individual program or preference.…

Profitable Opportunity. There is no substitute for the value of heterosis in today’s cow-calf operation. Commercial producers as well as feeders recognize more pounds at weaning and a documented 127 pound advantage in the feedyard* dramatically increases the potential for profit. Factor in a registered Charolais bull and producers have even more opportunity with access to a powerful genetic database. Think Charolais. Do What Works!

Moderate Birth and Optimum Growth Moderate Stature ■ More Red Meat Yield Consistent Breed Identity ■ Hybrid Vigor * Charolais Advantage Evident in CSU Research Study, Colorado State University, Eastern Colorado Research Center (ECRC), Akron, CO

I downloaded some free software and it just might be what you are looking for if you are thinking about having an auction. Are you interested in having a video sale? Or are you thinking about playing videos alongside of the cattle that are selling in the ring? How about just playing videos on your computer at a trade show? I have seen videos displayed about every way possible and why not save a little money and spice up your ringside atmosphere by downloading VLC Media Player? This free software program allows you to create a playlist (“Sale Order”) and slide from one lot to another with ease. Simply make an individual video clip for each lot you are selling and save all the videos to a specific folder on your computer. Next create the playlist and tell the software to loop the video clip during the sale or move on to the next video for a nice pre-sale preview. You could accomplish a video sale many different ways but I’m all about the quickest one and the one that will lower your sale expense.

LIFE IS SIMPLE

L O T O N E

LIFE IS SIMPLE Copyright 2012, Jerry Crownover Through the many years of writing this little column, I’ve received hundreds of letters, emails, and telephone calls from readers. Most want to express their like (or in some cases—dislike) of a particular story I have relayed through the pages of one of the magazines or newspapers for which I write. I appreciate every letter, but the one I received today had a profound effect upon this simple, old storyteller. A few weeks ago, one of my editors forwarded a handwritten letter they had received from an 87 year-old woman, wanting to know my mailing address so that she might send me something because she, “sure does get a kick out of that Life is Simple article.” I found the letter quite charming and very sincere, so I sent her a copy of one of my books as a way of thanking her for her comments while providing her with my address. Today, as I sorted through the many bills, junk mail, and other letters, I recognized the handwriting on one particular piece. The envelope was a blue, window-type envelope that was obviously recycled from some junk mail she had received at some time, intended to be returned with a payment for no-telling-what. She had meticulously taped a white piece of paper with my name and address inside the window

and had saved the dime or quarter that a legal-sized envelope would have cost her. I thought of my late mother having done that very same thing so many times. Inside were five pages (written on both sides) telling me the story of her life, beginning with how there is nothing in the world any better than, “living and raising children on a farm.” She proceeded to tell me how her parents had brought her to this part of the world in a covered wagon all the way from Oklahoma, in 1924, and how well she remembers the drought of the 1930’s when she and her sisters would, “ride the work horses while driving the cows over to the neighbor’s farm every day, because that was the only place around that had water.” She relayed how poor they were during the depression and that sewing centers had been set up by President Roosevelt so that women could make clothes out of flour sacks in order for the kids to have garments to wear to school where she, “went all eight years.” Then her handwriting seemed to pep up when she described meeting “a good, Christian man” while she was working at a bakery, “so, I married him!” She added that upon marriage, “his “ButCh” dad gave us two cows C.D. Booker and mine gave us a 41452 SR 195 Colfax, WA 99111 big hog,” and their (509) 397-6102 farming career began. (509) 989-2855 email: She made sure to

cartha@colfax.com

interject, several times throughout her letter, that life really is simple. Her letter glowed as she talked about the kids they raised, the grand-kids that came along, and even the great and great-great grandchildren that followed. I read her incredible epic tale of tragic deaths and unfortunate happenings as well. She told of her time in a wheelchair following two leg surgeries and how her husband is suffering from heart problems and cancer at the current time and how, last year, they finally had to sell the last of their cows and, “a lot of tears were shed that day.” I thought of my own father when he was ailing from cancer and cried when we loaded his last cow—the only time I ever saw him cry. Even though this elderly lady had seen much suffering, she was no complainer. When her husband had heart surgery, she was thankful that she was healthy so she could continue the farm while he recuperated. She was in her seventies then. She ended the letter by informing me that she had just passed her driving test once again and closed by telling me, “don’t get too scared at Halloween, have a happy Thanksgiving, and merry Christmas.” There it was—the lives of Floy and Albert—on five pages of wide-ruled paper from a Big Chief tablet (front and back). I’m honored and humbled that she considered me worthy of such a gratifying peek into what has obviously been a life of extreme significance; a life we should all be lucky enough to emulate.
