As we predicted last month... The Iowa Hawkeyes were the NCAA’s most overrated football team. They have already lost to an FCS team! After QB Aaron Rodgers’ embarrassing performance in the Packers’ loss to the wounded Minnesota Vikings, we hope he’ll reconsider his new all-vegan diet!! Can you believe that Penn State honored the disgraced Coach JoePa after perhaps the biggest scandal in NCAA history??

Heifers sired by Airlift, Apple Jack, Atwood, Fabie, Plushanski Farsano, Aftershock, Golden Dreams plus other top sires. Herd is on official test, ME 24,000; SCC for last 6 months from DHIA is 94 average. Remember there will be the one special young cow or heifer you’re looking for; plus, for the commercial farm, there will be some for you; both registered & grade at commercial price. Farm Friends: The only reason the herd is being sold is that Paul & Jim are getting to retirement age and they want a little time off to enjoy life and go on to the next chapter. Their dad started farming in 1946; the boys took over in 1978. Dad & the boys bred AI for 70 years. They never bought any animals, raised all their animals and bred them to good AI bulls. They have a nice herd of cows, not all burned out & not pushed to the max. They’ll work in any operation. This is a very clean operation. Like every herd, there will be something for everyone’s budget. Come & take a look and meet two super, honest farmers who will tell it the way it is. Bring your trailer & be ready to buy with confidence. Owners: Paul & Jim Melius 3460 Sherman Rd • Jackson, WI 53037 • Paul 262-707-2118 • Jim 262-707-4012

What can Farmshine do for you? This is what our advertisers have to say... I
recently developed a new marketing strategy and promotional campaign for a client with a product called Calf-Master. Ashley did a terrific job of telling me how advertising Calf-Master in Farmshine would help reach our target audience. I could not have been happier with the service she provided, the advice about advertising and all the benefits of Farmshine. We wanted to reach dairy farmers in PA and NY, and by all counts we did just that. Customer feedback about the ad and the product has been exceptional and we will definitely continue to work with Farmshine in the future. Thanks Ashley and the whole gang at Farmshine! - Eric Schreiber MasterVet, makers of Calf-Master

armshine has been a primary source of getting our message out to dairy farmers to educate them about the significant benefits offered by the CoPulsation Milking System. We routinely have interested dairy farmers and current customers call to state that they look forward to seeing our ads in Farmshine and read our latest message. - Bill Gehm L.R. Gehm, LLC
I
feel ads in Farmshine get attention and get read. They are a good value. Farmshine ads do not get lost. The Farmshine staff listens to my needs. Farmshine is unique because it targets dairy producers. When I place an ad in Farmshine, the phone rings. When I place it with other papers, the phone is less likely to ring. If the phone rings, I have a good chance at making additional sales. - John Clark
I
appreciate how well the Farmshine staff keeps our agency abreast of upcoming issues that we may have a special interest in. I hear many of our clients and prospective clients say they saw our ad in Farmshine! It is an excellent vehicle to reach out to the farming community. - Craig Morrissey, Morrissey Insurance
F
or well over 20 years, The Cattle Exchange has advertised through Farmshine. Farmshine reaches more of our clients on a weekly basis than any other publication in the East. Farmshine contents such as editorials and feature articles are some of the finest you will find concerning the dairy industry and the people behind it. The competent staff has always been easy to work with and has provided us with tremendous assistance over the years. We would never consider conducting an auction in the East without advertising in Farmshine and we would highly recommend that anyone who provides a service to the dairy industry, make Farmshine your first choice for advertising needs. With Farmshine, there is a difference. - Dave Rama

armshine is a super tool to advertise Registered cattle and cattle sales. It is focused in the Northeast, which is where all my sales are located, and it is distributed to all registered herds that are members of their state associations in this area. Also, Farmshine’s advertising rates for colored ads are the least expensive and always look very attractive. If you farm and want to shine, what better source than Farmshine. - Daniel Brandt, pedigrees
T
he Farmshine audience is a perfect match to showcase the All-American Dairy Show and our sponsors. Whether we are promoting show results, programs, contests, award winners or sponsorships, Farmshine gives us maximum exposure for our contestants, exhibitors and sponsors. The All-American Dairy Show appreciates the partnership we have forged with Farmshine regarding distribution of our show premium book.
