Lisa's Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi, my name is Lisa Hammer, I am Allan and Lois's
daughter. Lois has started pursuing some new
interests this summer so I have been learning the
ropes of Grass Root Meats. I am in the process of
learning everything so if I make a mistake bear with
me. I want to apologize for the news letter. That is
part of my learning process. Since the news letter
came out so late it is for October and November so
the next news letter will come out in December. It has
been fun learning new things and meeting new
people through phone calls and emails. I have been
apart of Grass Roots for many years but behind the
scenes and a huge support to my mom and dad. I
have also been apart because grandpa's big helper is
also my son Kyler. Kyler loves to go and help grandpa
ride the horses and check the cattle. He is also big
helper pulling the irrigation hoses and digging the
ditches for the irrigation. Grandpa and Kylers favorite
thing though is just spending time together. To tell
you a little bit more about me I am married to a
wonderful man and have three beautiful children.
They all keep me going in all different directions but
are the joy and happiness in my life. Grass Roots has
been fun and I am really enjoying it very much. Allan
has been very busy with the cattle and he is also
guiding this fall for a good friend and his outfitting
business. Something else Allan loves to do.

Fall Colors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had a great summer. It was a very green, beautiful
and lots of grass for the cattle. Fall is also a great
time for the steers to gain. The cooler temperatures
make the steers more comfortable and so they eat
more. The grass also has a higher percentage in
carbohydrates and sugars so they can gain more.
The colors are changing now and so is the
temperature. It has been frosting over in the early
morning and making it a bit chilly. The colors of the
leaves are changing and absolutely beautiful. The
leaves are turning bright yellows, oranges and some
reds and still some green ones left. The mixture of
colors are gorgeous. Allan went for a beautiful ride in
the mountains the other day and said it was just
stunning. We also got our first snow in the mountains
last weekend. Winter is just around the corner.
Hopefully it will hold off for a little bit longer. I am not
quit ready for the snow and the real cold winter
months. But when the first snow fall does come, it will
be really pretty and peaceful.

cents a pound for delivery. It is originally .80 to .85

In Closing ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I hope every one had a wonderful summer and is
enjoying the fall. The winter months are just around
the corner which also means the holiday seasons. It
is time to start thinking for Christmas. If you are
struggling with a Christmas gift idea we have gift
certificates for that great holiday gift. Thanksgiving is
coming up soon to. I am looking forward to the turkey
dinner and all the fixings. I hope all of you have a
wonderful warm Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving
from all of us at Grass Root Meats. God bless you all,
and thank you again for being such great customers.
Allan, Lois, Lisa and Family.
