Finally after a full week of hard work and hot days, we have the Market Sales on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Please come and support the kids at the sale. We work really hard to make the best meat for your freezer. We feed them good quality food, exercise them every day and pay close attention to their health. Each of us are saving this money for things like college, a jet boat, a car and cows. Then we all walk away knowing how to put meat in the freezer!
