The 13th Annual Brant Farms Production Sale was held on Saturday, April 8th at the farm near Hinckley, MN. With temps in the 70 degree range, both humans and bovines were enjoying the day Mother Nature gave us along with the first class hospitality from the Brant crew. A new project for the Brant firm is a blueberry farm so we started the sale with 5 blueberry pies selling with the proceeds going to the MN Juior Simmental Association which raised $520 for the up coming Junior National. A tradition at the Brant Sale is to have a drawing of 3 calf feeders to the buyers. This year the lucky winners were Linda Dotzler, Ryan Lee and Greg Zimpel (pictured right). Thank you to everyone that continues to allow us to be your seedstock provider. We will continue to work hard to provide the finest in genetics to propel your breeding programs. Sincerely, Ron, John and Julie
