Cattle Mineral Meeting  


Wind & Rain MineralSave the date for our Cattle Mineral Meeting on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 from noon to 1:30pm.   

 

Cattle with mineral shortages or imbalances do poorly in reproduction, lactation, weight gains, body condition, etc. - all the factors that affect your profitability. But most mineral deficiencies don't show obvious symptoms until it's too late, and without good records it's hard to identify a gradual decline in cattle performance.     

 

Come learn the latest in cattle mineral nutrition!  Register online or call Candice or Austin at the store to RSVP, 972-937-8860.  Lunch will be provided.

Candice's Corner:  Tips from the Master Gardener

blueberry muffinsDon't wait for the groundhog to tell you spring is on the way, it's time to get out into the garden! Many of the tasks this month will give you a running start when temperatures warm and the plants begin to emerge.  

 

Here are a couple of great ideas and you will find more on our website.

  • If you love blueberry muffins, plant blueberry bushes now.
  • Keep those Valentine cut flower arrangements fresh longer with a simple solution of 50-50 lemon lime soda and water and a dash of bleach. Also, before you put your flowers in your vase remove all of the lower leaves.
