I am extremely fortunate to have the support of all of our young people helping to get this all done. Maddie Fitzgerald, now Hrdlicka, is now with the Decorah Vet Clinic. Extremely nice to have 2 vets in the family! She and Austin are into training and breeding hunting dogs. Weekends are full with training dogs though Maddie still finds time to stop in and sample Lynda’s pie occasionally. Wouldn’t want them to go to waste she says. Erin Ryan showed for us at the Iowa State Fair and did a wonderful job. She and Wes Searcy became engaged and are currently planning a wed- ding. She graduates from ISU this spring with an agronomy degree and we are extremely proud of her. Kamryn Langreck is in her 5th year helping and really a great young lady. I am extremely fond of picking on her as she takes it very well with great comebacks. She’s currently working near Iowa City in Extension yet spending a lot of weekends here. Autumn Feine has graduated from ISU and was in the packing industry for a time. She now does videos and pictures and editing of livestock and helps a lot again here. She is very meticulous and organized. Hopefully some of that will rub off on me. Kimmi Vrieze contacted me this fall and is back helping with cattle chores and everything sale related. She has really gotten into cattle dog training and breeding. She is also planning a wedding next fall to Christian Cooper. We are very fortunate to have her back. She’s a really great worker. Cale Knight gets the award for most improved. He was a town kid and I’m not sure knew which end of a cow the poop came out of. He is a darn good tractor and skid loader jockey now. He works cattle quietly and has turned into a really good clipper. I’m glad he joined our team as he’s a really great young man! Mike Wilson continues to help whenever needed. You never replace a friend or cattleperson like Mike. He knows the cattle and how to make things run smoothly. He ended up on picture crew this year and you would almost think he is an old steer jock now. We all had a lot of fun work- ing together to get through a really interesting job. Jacob and Bailey Kach's heifer had her first calf this year. According to Paisley, who is 3, they are hers, and she is showing them at the state fair Jacob, Bailey, Paisley & Colt Kach
this year. Jake is a really great young man and has developed the con- fidence and ability to go far in the cattle business. He has turned into a fantastic herdsman. We are blessed to have him. I have enjoyed watch- ing him grow as a person. Bailey is expecting late February so hopefully you will see them at the sale. However, as long as everyone is safe and healthy that is all that matters. I’m really blessed with great help!! I couldn’t do this without you guys. Thanks much. Our production partners have the same goals and commitment to producing superior seed-stock that we do. Please take the time to get to know each of them. I would like to extend my thanks for all their hard work and dedication toward producing some of the best seed-stock available in the industry today. As always, all of the cattle selling are guaranteed to perform as expected or we’ll fix it to your satisfaction. We encourage everyone to take advan- tage of our hospitality and join us Friday or Saturday for a showing of the bulls or tour of the cowherd. Please remember our servicemen in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to protect our rights and liberties. We look forward to seeing you February 1st.
