It has been brought to my attention that because GONEWEST is placing my advertising that something looks suspicious.

For everyone that wants to know why, GONEWEST does all my ads for me, designs and maintains my website, designs my fliers, stall cards, farm sign, logo, etc.  He is excellent at this; he understands the business and I feel covers my prospective buyers well; the designs are attractive, colorful, tasteful;  I would recommend his expertise to anyone that is in the cattle business planning a sale or just wants to get their name out to the public. When you send a print-ready ad to a publication, you save money on that ad, so that will help pay for having him do this for you.  I have been nothing but pleased with his work.

I am busy with this sale and also we are calving fall cows now; my husband is still rolling up hay, then there is corn and milo harvest; we have 3 grown kids who are raised (and gainfully employed!) and 4 adopted kids here at home that we are still raising so this all leaves me very little time to attend to details of print design and advertising.  The kids and I do most all the work with the cattle; from CIDERS to AIing to shots, worming, halter breaking, fitting, showing, calving; you name it.  We have no hired help.

We welcome anyone with questions to ask; if you thought this looked suspicious or anytime in the past you wondered why GONEWEST posted things for me, for heaven's sake, PERSONAL MESSAGE me, I have no problem telling you what is going on.
