Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Southwest Nebraska! We wish you safe travels this holiday season, hope you all get to enjoy quality time with your family, and lastly, want to remind you to DVR National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation in advance, for everyone’s viewing pleasure! (You can’t have Christmas without the Griswolds!) As I close in on my sixth year working with Mike, Heidi and the Livestock Plus, Inc. staff, it has been a true pleasure, as always. I’ve had a lot of fun designing ads, logos, sale catalogs and websites for our clients this past year and look forward to what 2017 will bring for the publication, our clients and our readers! Wishing you health and happiness this holiday season and that the crop and cattle markets be in our favor in the year to come!
