Our New Bull! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just thought you would like to see pictures of
our future - I mean our new bull. Our primary
picture at the top of this page, the same
picture we use on our website, is of our main
bull. He is a descendent of OCC Emblazon
854E and OCC Headliner 661H. We bought
him back in 2003 and he has exceeded our
expectations. Headliner is the number one
Angus AI
bull in Argentina for grassfed genetics.

Another Angle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our new bull is the son of OCC Emblazon
854E. We will be breeding him to the
daughters of our original bull. While these
names probably do not mean a lot to you,
both of our bulls are direct descendents of
bulls
that have excelled in the grass finished
industry. We are very excited about both the
heifers and the steers that we will get from this
breeding.

Delivery Schedule ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are trying to put together a delivery
schedule for fall to Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
and Colorado. This way we can all plan
ahead so that no one misses out. Any
feedback you can give us about best times for
you would be very helpful. I know fall is a long
way off and we don't want it to come too soon,
but if we start planning now I think everyone
will benefit. Even if you are not particular
about when we come to your area, if you could
let us know that you will want delivery and for
what (or at least an idea of what) it would sure
help us in our planning.
We are possibly planning a trip to the Denver area the end of May, so if you would like to take advantage of delivery then let us know.

Supplies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This time of year our supplies are certainly not
as adequate as in the summer and fall. We
are very low on Ribeyes and Sirloin Steaks,
and
cannot fill too many orders for quarters and
cannot do halves or wholes till June. We have
plenty of Ground Beef and roasts.
We have sold a lot of Chuck Roasts on our sale, but just want to encourage you that this is a great spring/summer cut too. Slow cooked in the crock pot or oven, it makes great shredded beef for BBQ, burritos, and tamales, or just delicious shredded beef sandwiches. You can put them into the crockpot frozen with your favorite spices and 6 to 8 hours later you have ready to eat beef. Doesn't get any easier than this and while it will seem like fast food the nutrition is all there.

Ground Beef Restaurant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At least 40% of every beef
ends up as ground beef and we always end
up with an abundance of it. We would love to
find a restaurant, or some other outlet, for
our ground beef.
If any of you know of a restaurant that might be interested in our ground beef would you please drop us a line and let us know? It has to be a restaurant that is interested in the highest quality as well as the benefits of all natural, grass finished beef. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.

Free Ground Beef ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of Ground Beef, for the month of
May we will give you 5 pounds of Ground Beef
free with any custom package of $150 or
more, 10 pounds free with a custom package
of $250 or more, and 15 pounds free with a
custom package of $350 or more.
Custom packages over $150 qualify for a 10% discount, and the packages can include both lamb and beef. With the 10% off and free Ground Beef you can save at least $38.00 on a $150 order, $71.00 on a $250 order, and $104.00 on a $350 order, so this represents a tremendous savings to you. On a custom package of $350 your savings is 33%. This is our first time to offer this and we hope it works out well for you.

In Closing... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am nearly finished reading "The Omnivore's
Dilemma" and have really enjoyed it.
While I think the author's evolution theories
are a bit strange and I pray that he would
learn the truth, I enjoyed learning about the
corn industry and understand why so many of
you have asked us the questions that you do.
We appreciate your questions so much as
they really make us think about what we are
doing and about our goals. Thank you again
for all of your support, and all of your orders.
We appreciate you all so much.
Lois & Allan
