CERTIFIED ANGUS

AG Inc. will donate to the milk promotion group of your choice on every order of Immu-Pro by US dairy farmers. Call now.

There are 10 quality standards to pass for a carcass to be Certified Angus Beef. Packers in our area prefer pure Angus over Angus x dairy cross steers, as they’re more likely to meet those standards. The premium for dairymen’s black calves is not a given. Just something to keep in mind.

Your success is our commitment.

VICKY NOMINATED!

STONE-FRONT MAVERICK VICKY EX-91

Nominated All-American Jersey 4 Yr Old

Sarah Damrow

Owned by David Koss, Kaylee Koss, Jason Steinlage and Eric Lang

Our show campaign included three state fairs, two national shows, and four other shows in Wisconsin, Iowa and Ohio. We were pleased to have two State Fair Grand Champions, two State Fair Reserve Grand Champions, and Jr. Champion Holstein at Cattle Congress, as well as several first place finishes within the cow classes this past spring and summer.

We’re looking forward to freshening out a JR 2 YR OLD RED JORDY, owned with KCCK, as well as a couple Brown Swiss and a Holstein that seem promising at this point. We’re eager to show two short-aged ADDISON*RC daughters that we believe will stand significant competition. We also have interest in an exceptional Ayrshire Spring Yearling that we hope to see out this spring. It was high privilege to attend the record-setting Cutting Edge Dispersal in September, as well as the Brown Swiss and Milking Shorthorn Conventions this summer. It was good to be in the box at the Pioneer Dairy Classic in October, and see our consignment go on to be HM Sr Champion Red & White at the North American for RK Genetics.

Amazing Angie

Beautifully written years ago by the late dairy legend, Dr. Dave Dickson:

A Christmas Wish In this world perplexed by wrong and right, let’s hope for just one Silent Night; and once again for Peace on Earth as we recall the Saviour’s birth. Let men of yellow, black and white live with Love... forget their spite. Let’s hope that Friends, both far and near, renew acquaintences this year; that Children ‘round the world receive the gifts they’ve asked St Nick to leave. And may these things that we request bring Peace and Joy and Happiness.

Hoping your Christmas brought you all your wishes... Sending Happy New Year wishes from the Brey Family at Cycle Farm, home of 2X R&W Jr Premier Sire Jordy, former #1 proven type sire Jacoby, and soon-to-be released Journey-Red. Journey-Red will debut in early 2020 as the new #1 R&W Conformation sire at +17 and +4.14 PTAT.

...Best of luck on your Journey in 2020! Bill & Clarice • Tony & Moriah, Evan & Alexa • Jacob & Lauren cyclefarm@gmail.com • facebook.com/cyclefarm 2139 County Road O • Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235 920.495.2555 Tony • 920.495.9012 Jacob
