★Everybody here hopes that yall have been enjoying the heck out of your summer and that those of you that are starting up with your Ag projects will be off to a good start soon. Lambs, goats, cattle, rabbits, poultry, it’s all about to really get under way, and of course 4H horse classes and competitions, and all those high school rodeos the kids and everybody have been looking forward to. We want to wish everybody the best of luck making the rounds of the jackpot shows, and we’ve got everything you need to see to it that you’ll have the best chance of doing the absolute best.

Of course yall remember from last year that we’re your headquarters for show feeds, grooming supplies, and pretty much anything else you need to start your project and get it going in the right direction. We’ve got everything from Weaver, and yes that means the pig whips, brushes, shampoos, conditioners, antifungal’s and all the rest. Heck right at first we were having trouble keeping some items in stock, so we doubled up, even tripled up on some of our orders to see to it that you get exactly what you need when you need it.

★Extra rain, if it comes in August, along with the sultry, damp nights that are so good for keeping your lawn and garden good shape and growing like crazy sure would be a pleasant surprise, but with growing comes mowing, and a lot of it! As you go, and as you need to mow, you’re going to need extra fuel and tune up & replacement parts and all kinds of things for your trimmers and mowers, remember us first.

★The ANDIS ZR II Trimmer
And we have a special item that we’d like to alert you to that will help to give you a competitive edge in Show grooming, it’s the Andis Pulse ZR II. The precision of this incredible trimmer has to be seen to be believed. You can trim close in around tender parts with great accuracy and low risk of causing any of those minor nicks and cuts that have to be nursed to try to get back into good shape before Show time.

The Andis Pulse ZR II has a five-speed, rotary motor that adjusts from 2500 to 4500 cutting strokes per minute, a quick release, detachable blade for multiple cut lengths, and a handsome hard case that can take plenty of punishment as it keeps your trimmer kit in like new condition from your place, to the truck, to the parking lot, and to the Show barn. Drop by and have a look, you’re dollar is well spent on this trimmer kit, and will get you a little closer a little quicker to that blue ribbon finish.

★We already know the kinds of mowers and trimmers that everybody uses in this part of the world, and stock everything to keep them going in good shape, every day, so no need to hit the big box stores all the way in town with the long checkout lines and sorting through all the items on the shelf just to find what you need. We remember what you bought last year around this time, and we’ve got it in stock right now.

We’ve also got all the deer lease items, from feeders to deer protein to deer lease prep, not to mention hunting licenses. A lot of us here at the store are also hunters ourselves, and do a good bit of our own shopping right here, so we’re good for advice going back a lot of years. We’ve got specialty feeds as well to fit nearly every spec, and when it comes time here pretty soon to feed corn, we’ll have it in abundance, you can be sure of that!

★Making your way through the back roads, you can see plenty of hay drying out in the field and a lot of baling going on, and you maybe doing some bailing of your own, this is due you to be a good year. But don’t forget your livestock that maybe doing a little bit of drying out themselves and may need extra electrolytes to give them a little bit more incentive toward hydration. And I don’t guess we need to remind you that flies have been quite a bumper crop themselves this summer, chasing everybody and everything around, but we have a truly impressive arsenal on hand to help you deal with these pests whether on your porch, out in the barn, in the field, and of course, inside the house. And while you’re inside the house and you have the flies under control, you might want to turn the temperature down a little bit on the AC, and take care of some indoor projects you’d like to get done ahead of the fine fall weather that’s about to get going. We can supply you for this too, so make your list!
