Mountain Top Angus

Been a very busy week around here at Mountain Top Angus.  Been very cold and very much like winter all around.  Temperatures reached the single digits a couple times here this week and made for any snow thaw to be practically impossible.  The road into the farm has become a solid sheet of ice and dangerous for any travel above regular traffic.  Took a mid week trip to Uhrichsville, Ohio to visit and make a few business contacts.  With the first of the year here and gone and a few bills due we decided to sort a few of the lesser quality feeders on Thursday and took them to the local sale barn on Friday; the steers topped the sale at $1.85 and the heifers outsold many of the steers there.    If you recall I said the road was a solid sheet of ice so we had to chain all 6 tires on the farm truck to get the cattle out to the main road where we backed up trailers and transferred them over to be taken to the Stockyards.  With the sale results I think it speaks volume about our program and reputation we are building in the cattle business. I just want to thank all our customers and fans out there because without you all we don't have a business., you all are what makes us successful.  On Saturday we made a trip South to Tennessee to deliver eight bulls to repeat customer, Zac Knowles and ZK Ranches of Springfield, TN to round out the week, special thanks to them for their continued and repeat business.  As I conclude this weeks entry I want to say THANK YOU to my crew at the farm Ervin, Wendell, and Larry Wagler for their hard work this week and helping bring everything together and make it all happen as planned, not to mention all the work and dedication they put in day in and day out...THANK YOU!!!
