A NOTE FROM RPI PROMOTIONS
As we close out our bull sale season with this April/May issue of the Cattlemen’s Invite, a great big thank you goes out to all of our advertisers and readers. This first year of the Cattlemen’s Invite has proved to be exactly what our vision was from the first issue in November of 2015. Our goal was to produce an easy to read, direct mail piece that shows great color. This unique style has had a very interesting draw to our readers. A cattlemen’s time is very important and if they are presented with an “attention getting” printed product, the chances of them making time to look through it is very high. As you look through this issue you will find an excellent offering of seed stock from some very outstanding programs. We invite you to give them a call and discuss your future needs for breeding stock. There are also a number of firms promoting proven AI sires, in both calving ease and powerful performance packages. We urge everyone to get their older herd bulls semen tested. That way, if you unexpectedly need to pull in some new bulls this year, you will still have a good selection of sales to attend that can meet your standards of quality. The next issue of the Cattlemen’s Invite will be coming out November 1, 2016. During the summer and early fall months we will be out and about looking at cattle and working on a few female sales that we will be managing this fall. If you would like to do some off season promotion of your program, give us a call and we can help. We do have the capabilities to completely produce your printed product, from taking pictures, layout and design, and printing/mailing right from our commercial printing plant in Philip, SD. We have been doing it for over 50 years! Like we have stated before. . . we are cattlemen helping cattlemen!
