2006 Sale Crowd
Dear Fellow Cattlemen:

My family and I want to welcome you to our annual bull and female sale to be held at Madison County Auction on Saturday, February 24, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. The years seem to fly by, and it seems like these sales come up faster each year.

We are grateful for all the blessings bestowed upon us during 2006, but we are especially thankful for the birth of another grand-daughter, Katie Carstens Steward, as well as the news of another grandchild on the way in 2007. Zach, Madie, and Katie sure are fun!

Even with this age of technology, everyone seems to be extremely busy, including us. We do everything possible to provide the information you need to make an informed decision by weighing, ultra sounding, vaccinating, and collecting data but the bottom line is that our cows must work like everyone else’s. They are not pampered. We feel like this is the only way to determine the genetic ability not feeding ability. We spend much time and energy trying to provide you with the best seed stock available, and we do stand behind our product. We appreciate you as a friend and a valued customer. If we can be of assistance to you, please don’t hesitate to ask.

The bulls are being developed at the Menefee feed yard northwest of Guthrie Center, Iowa. They are being fed a roughage diet in a large open lot. They will be ultra sounded and semen checked, and will have had their shots. If you want Dennis to keep them until spring, he will do that for you for $1.50 a day.

Please feel free to visit the feed yard or call if you have any questions about the cattle. If you are unable to attend the sale, but are interested in either the bulls or heifers, please let us discuss your needs with you. Every year we handle order bids and almost always get the animals bought for less than the bid left with us.

Come join our family on February 24th for a sandwich and a chance to talk cattle. And remember that at Carstens Farms, Ltd. the CEO, secretary, sales manager, and herdsmen are all the same people who breed, feed, weigh, and sort the cattle. This is a small family operation in which all family members get to enjoy manure on their boots. Our goal is to simply provide you with the best seedstock possible.

Sincerely,
Dean Carstens
