the pro hockey and basketball seasons have ended (except for the uninspiring WNBA) and now we can turn our attention to the extremely exciting baseball & football seasons.
Can you believe... that North America has been selected
to host the World Cup in 2026? There is sure to be weeks and weeks of coverage of a sport that few North Americans care about!! NASCAR will benefit, as it will make even it exciting and worth watching!

CHASIN’ CATTLE
I chase cattle most every day. Dogs are smart, can be trained to do tricks and follow commands; a good dog can herd your cattle. Cows, on the other hand, are irritating; they can’t (or won’t), learn to go left or right when you want them to.

“We love our Registered Holstein herd and seeing them improve. Immu-Pro has given us peace of mind because of its effectiveness and no side effects, and it’s as ‘mistake proof’ as you can get. With better repro health and milk quality, stronger heat cycles and better preg rate, our milk checks look much better now. You can’t force milk prices up, but Immu-Pro can help get you more milk quality premiums. A 300-400 SCC was too high for us. With Immu-Pro in the ration every day, SCC is down 110-120, plus calves are healthier andgrow faster. Immu-Pro helps us profit more.” ~ Jeff Wille, Image Point Dairy LLC • Rice Lake, WI

“...we were able to lower SCC by 100,000.” — Mark Spadgenske
SPADGENSKE DAIRY Mark and Mike Spadgenske and families MENAHGA, MINNESOTA Milking 300 cows, 72 lbs 3.9F 3.2P SCC consistently below 200,000 Mark and Kristine Spadgenske with Kate and Seth at the 2018 Central Plains Dairy Expo. Not pictured are older sons Ryan and Adam. Ryan is home from school and full time on the farm. Not pictured are Mark’s brother Mike and son John.
“With Udder Comfort™ in our fresh cow routine, we were able to lower our SCC by 100,000,” says Mark Spadgenske. He and his brother Mike operate Spadgenske Dairy, milking 300 cows near Menahga, Minnesota. “Our SCC was over 300,000. Then we brought home Udder Comfort samples from Central Plains Dairy Expo a year ago and started spraying all fresh udders, across the board, 2x/day for 3 to 4 days after calving. “Within 2 months, we started seeing counts come down and by 6 months, our counts were down by 100,000. We tried other products before, but this one did the job, and it’s convenient.
“It takes out the swelling and improved our milk quality for premiums we never saw before. Even as quality premiums shrink in this market, we will continue using this because the results pay in the performance of the herd.” Quality Udders Make Quality Milk
Keep the milk in the system 1.888.773.7153 1.613.652.9086 uddercomfort.com Call to locate a distributor near you. For external application to the udder only after milking, as an essential component of udder management. Always wash and dry teats thoroughly before milking.

His early heifer calves are not disappointing, and have found their way to the winner's circle at some of the most respected spring shows in the U.S. and Canada. His calves have a lot of style, extreme angularity, correct rump structure, and impressive rib. It's time to take another look at SLATER. - Kevin Jorgensen, senior Holstein sire analyst
