Thank you to all that attended the Cattle Mineral Meeting last month. We had just over 70 attendees enjoying an awesome steak dinner made by David Meyer of Crawford. Many thanks to David and speakers Jeff Conner from Purina, Dillon DeMuth with Dow Chemical, Tracy Moss from Walter Moss Seed and Randy Knight with Altosid. We had lots of mineral and sudan seed bookings following the meeting, so it sounds like everyone paid attention to our speakers!
