2 Dear Friends: I want to again personally invite everyone to our Bull & Female Sale and Appreciation Day at the farm on Saturday February 11, A lunch will be served starting at 11:30 with the sale to follow at 1:00. Again this year, instead of the cattle going through a sale ring, a video of each lot will be shown. The cattle will be penned close to the sale area for your viewing sale day, or you are welcome to come take a look any time before the sale. We like having the sale on the farm because we think that it is less stressful on the cattle and that it is a homier environment for the sale. This year we are selling some heifer calves, five bred heifers, and five bred cows. The bred heifers are from our keeping pen and were selected solely on their projected calving date. The heifer calves are also from the keeping pen. They are some really nice heifers included, but we can t keep them all. After having inquiries about selling some heifers, we thought that the only fair way for everyone was to include them on the auction. It has been quite a year with the volatile weather and markets. As you all know, even the politics this year were very volatile. I hope and pray that we Americans can come together since the election is over. We still live in the best country in the world. One of our constants, besides our faith and family, is our desire to provide our customers with the best product available for their continued success. We really enjoy our friendships and relationships with you, our customers. This is the best part of this business. Even if you don t need a bull or female this year, please join us on the 11 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. This is truly a family operation with our children and grandchildren owning some of the cattle and everyone gets to enjoy the experience of a little mud on their boots. Dean Carstens Carstens Farms, Ltd. Dean and Melodee Carstens (641) carstensfarms2@gmail.com PROVEN PERFORMANCE GENETICS THAT WILL ADD POUNDS OF RED MEAT! Welcome to the 30 th Anniversary of the Carstens Farms Angus and Charolais Performance-Tested Bull and Angus Female Sale. This outstanding set of cattle are backed by people and a program committed to raising and producing superior high performance cattle that are functional and fault free. These bulls are developed to maximize their performance while maintaining sound structure and overall function ability. Dean has always selected Angus and Charolais genetics to utilize in his program that offer proven performance without sacrificing strong maternal values. The cow herd behind both the Angus and the Charolais bulls selling in this sale is outstanding. I have had the opportunity to go through this cow herd and am always impressed with their sound structure, their added rib and body shape, and the strong maternal and fertility traits they possess. When you select a bull from the Carstens program you will find a bull to take home that will increase weaning weights and his daughters will make some of the very best replacements available. Highlighting this year s event will be the opportunity to select from a group of spring bred heifers and spring bred cows in addition to the yearling replacement heifers. As you study the pedigrees on these bred heifers and cows you will find genetics that are backed by the breed s most trusted AI sires and they are from cow families that have performed well in the Carstens program. As always, the spring yearling replacement heifers will be uniform in their kind and much like the bulls selling, they have the exact same pedigrees that will go out and add performance to any program and will no doubt make excellent brood cows on down the road. It will be a great day in Adair, IA for this 30 th Anniversary. Join us as Dean and Melodee Carstens offer one of their very best sets of cattle in the history of this program. If I can help or be of assistance in any way please don t hesitate to give me a call at (918) Sincerely, Rance Long
