Dear Friends, It is hard to imagine that it is bull sale season already. Last year really flew by! But since it is, we want to invite everyone to our annual bull sale, Carstens’ Bull Bash, on February 19, 2014 at Creston Livestock, Creston, Iowa at 1:00 p.m. CST. We always enjoy seeing old friends and neighbors, and meeting new ones. Even if you don’t need a bull this year, we welcome your evaluation of this year’s bulls. We are saddened by the loss of our friend, Everett Shepherd, and by the tragedy of the Frey family. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those families. I want to applaud everyone who has “weathered the storm” and still have cows. The last couple of years of high-feed costs have been tough on the cow-calf producers. I am especially proud of the younger cattle producers who have hung in there.Your perseverance is being rewarded with high feeder prices and lower feed costs. It’s not the easy path, but hopefully it will be a profitable adventure with the crop prices tumbling. My dad always thought that farming was the best profession and tried to help as many young people get started as he could. We at Carstens Farms have also tried to help several young people get started in the purebred cattle business. Those cows have done an amazing job for all of them, and we are proud of that fact. Again this year, we think that we have a strong set of bulls for your appraisal, but please come and you be the judge. We encourage your evaluation at the farm or at the sale. We are a small operation that loves to use and sell great bulls. If we can be of assistance to you in anyway, please let us know. Dean Carstens
