A NOTE FROM RPI PROMOTIONS

A green tint has begun showing in the pastures here in our country the last few days. A little spring rain hit our area and has given us a chance for grass to start. We will still have a chance for the colder side of spring to pop up but this is a start. Bring on the rain!

With the April and May spring bull sales still yet to happen, a couple of things could make them some of the best. The testing of bulls is the first thing that comes to mind. This past winter has had many days of freezing windy days and chances are good that we might have more than average damage to the bulls. This is your chance to get your bulls tested and attend some very powerful sales that are still on the schedule.

Along with the moisture we need to keep the grass growing, a strong weigh-up market could also help keep the breeding bull sales positive.

Trading the old bulls for fresh new genetics and powerful bulls to get the cows bred is great. If you have the chance to exchange and enhance the ability of your bulls into a higher class and quality of bulls, it is time. Now is not the time to try and stretch your bull battery. Right now there are still a good number of bull sales left to make purchases.

When you find yourself short, in the middle of the breeding season, there could be a dwindling supply of bulls to choose from.

Calving is winding down for some and just getting started for others.

It’s a great time of the year, when you see all your efforts of raising livestock, pay off with clean, healthy calves running around in the spring. The professionals say we are in an area that will have above average moisture this spring. Good luck to all as we finish up the spring calving season.

We invite you to look through the sales we have in this issue and if we can be of any help at those sales don’t hesitate to call.

Thank you for your business this past year and we look forward to working throughout the spring and summer with all of our long time and new customers and friends. Give us a call if we can help you promote your program.

Thanks again for your support, trust and friendship.
