Hello Everyone,
We have noticed a strange bright spot in the eastern sky this morning. It was 35 degrees but it kind of felt like a warming sensation when you got outside. Who knows what this bright object is. Might be the beginning of global warming.
The weather guessers say more gusty winds today and a good chance of rain again this weekend. We really could use a good soaker as we only got 4 inches of rain this week with the highs in the 40's. Hate to have too much dust blowing around with all the wind we get.
Seems like we keep breaking records around here for weather. Record rain fall for last summer and fall. Record snow fall last winter, now record cold for temps this spring. I would bet we got to be somewhere near a record for the number of days the wind blew above 30 mph. It is getting to the point where 20 and 30 mph is just a light breeze. Oh well, we can't change it.
We have added more semen listings on the Semen page, more embryos have been added and updated prices are under the Embryo page. Check them out on the ACS Classifieds.
Thanks for all the activity we continue to get from all of you who use the ACS Classifieds. We appreciate each and everyone of you very much and thank you for sharing with your friends about us as well. They too are finding out how upfront and honest we are with everyone which kind of takes them back a little as they get to visit with real people when they are discovering how it all works.
May 19th is next week. It is probably going to be getting too late to mail out any more sale catalogs as we are heading to MO to attend the graduation of our son-in-law Josh. That is a good thing as they will be moving back to IA as he does his medical internship at the University of Iowa.
Anyway thank you for the e-mails and calls for requesting sale catalogs. I trust they all got there. We had a few visitors as well and I do appreciate the opportunity to show folks what our poor picture taking does not capture. Thank you also for the kind words and we hope you get the chance to own the genetics you are after.
For those who have not seen the offering it is on-line and you can click on the following link and see the sale. For those of you who do not have high speed Internet, give it a little time as it all loads up at once.
No doubt folks looking at the heifers were wanting to know more about the Rito Legacy x Lucy 422 heifer. Those that came last week got to see how crossing the genetics from the past with the performance of today worked.
We are really proud of the home raised and owned sired calves. They are the type and kind that I want and are really consistent in their make up.
Lance L., thank you for the card and your kind words. I enjoyed your two little 4 year old traveling companions. Glad you brought them with you.
We do have the sale catalog online but you have to give it some time to load up. Nothing fancy, just information. To see it on line got to our Twin Oaks Angus Farm web site and then click on the For Sale link.
Again, for those of you not able to travel or make it to the sale you can view and bid online the day of the sale by going to the Dunlap Livestock Auction web site. I believe you will have to register a day or so before the sale to be able to bid. Like I said last week they use their online bidding quite a bit in their regular sale so you can contact the Dunlap Livestock Auction office with any questions on bidding.
Well that's all for this week.
Stay
safe and have a great weekend. Brian
