4 Carstens Farms - A Program Backed By Proven Performance Dear Friends, Dean Carstens (H) (C) carstensfarms@wildblue.net I want to personally invite everyone to our Bull Sale and Customer Appreciation Day at the farm on Monday, Feb. 16, We will start serving lunch at 11:30 a.m. with the sale beginning at 1:00 p.m. The bulls will be penned for viewing that morning or you are welcome to view them at any time before that. Instead of the bulls going through a sale ring, a video of each bull will be used with the cattle being penned close to the sale area. It is nice to see the cattleman finally being rewarded with good prices, especially after the high feed prices of 2012 and It is a great time to be in the cattle business! Even if you don t need a bull this year, please join us on the 16 th. It is our way of showing our appreciation to you for your past and future purchases. If we can assist you in any way, please let us know. Dean Carstens Welcome to the 28 th Annual Carstens Farms, LTD Performance-Tested Angus and Charolais Bull Sale.
