August Summer Wrapup
Check Your List:
Serving Helotes
★Did everybody have a good summer break? Wait, there’s more summer to come? Sure there is, but every year it seems like fall events and preparations of all kinds are starting to happen earlier and earlier in August. The same thing goes for us right here at Jupe Mills Helotes. We are big supporters of O’Connor 4H and FFA, and everybody that is involved with pig, sheep, goat, and steer projects have been coming to see us for everything from drench guns to Sullivan and Weaver products of all kinds, conditioners, shampoos, clippers brushes, everything.
State Fair pigs are little ahead of the game and a lot of the folks that come to see us say that their projects are growing and getting ready for state fair ahead of the younger folks projects which will be coming in in a few months. We’re ahead of the game too, and we’ve done a lot of product research to assemble the finest lineup of show feeds, fly control products, supplements, and health and stress relieving products available to support those projects.
★The real competitive edge comes with probiotics to amp up the absorption of all of that protein goodness from the high-end feeds, and after extensive consideration of the wide array of available products, we’ve settled on a great lineup that will support almost any project. Some products are well established, and other products are new to the market, and offer real enhancement to your efforts and the growth and health of your projects. Probios is probably already familiar to many of you, and we can’t say enough good things about it, and we’re doing everything we can to keep it on the shelf. This product is affordably priced, highly effective, and a great investment to back up your efforts in nutrition and project health. We also carry the full lineup of Stock Show Secrets and Essential Feeds products, Gut Candy, and Fast Track. But we didn’t stop there, we have a number of other supplements and probiotics for you to choose from, and of course, plenty of advice, as our staff and management have done plenty of projects themselves.
★We would like to specifically recommend 2 new products by VitaCharge, supporting digestive health and promotion of feed and water intake, including a heat tolerant probiotic to replenish and stimulate gut bacteria, allowing beef cattle to get their daily dose of VitaCharge without additional handling. This stress tub also comes in a package that works wonders with body temperature, especially useful in August to help prevent heat stress during temperatures of 70 degrees and above.
★But the heat doesn’t just bring stress, add a little bit of rain and humid nights and mornings, and you get plenty of flies, so we’ve got fly control mineral tubs in quantity to deal with this problem too. Combine this with great feed options, supplementation and digestive health, and you’ve got a winning lineup. We’re happy to resupply you with any of these products in quantity, or give you a quick consult to put a package together that is specific to your scope and outcome, whether you are doing Show projects, or just trying to keep your herd healthy and happy.
Did we mention that there are a few extra flies this year? And mosquitoes? Well, this August, and all this summer, for that matter we are likely to see them coming in by the hoards. And hurricane season with extra rain is only going to accelerate the problem. But we’ve got a fly control solution for just about any environment, whether there at the house, out in the barn, and of course, as we mentioned, out in the pasture. The line of Star Bar products really can’t be beat, and we’ve got all of them, from sticky traps to container style traps that are disposable and affordably priced per unit. So there’s no need to keep swatting flies, just put out the welcome mat and watch them disappear while you go on about your business enjoying the last few weeks of summer in peace. And we’ve got youre pastured animals covered too, with ‘field’ tested MVP fly tubs with Clarify, an item we go out of our way to keep in quantity for cattle ranchers.
★Even we’ve had a little extra rain in July, and a few more rain surprises added to it here in August, lawns are still going to begin drying out, and everybody is going to be putting out lots of corn meal, which we keep in good supply. Your spring garden is really more of a memory now, and your fall garden will be something to think about more towards the end of the month, but you’ll still be watering that lawn to keep it healthy and lush.
And the weeds popping up everywhere will get pretty lush too, along with a proliferation of fire ants, so you’ll need to take some measures. There’s no need to go from store to store or to a big box store the the fight the crowds to get the things you need to keep you squared away on into fall. Drop by the store and get your weed sprayers, and Martin’s Surrender & Eraser for a one-two punch. We also want to tell you about tell you about Extinguish, by Central Garden and Pet. Extinguish® Plus fireant bait combines two active ingredients to control fire ant infestations. Approved for use in rangeland and pastures, the IGR sterilizes the queen and prevents rebound, while the adulticide kills problem worker ants upon ingestion. This product is safe to use, hard to beat, and will give the fireants a run for their money!
★We can help you control mosquitoes as well, we’ve had a lot of luck with Cyonara, very effective, and a great way to spend your dollar. Old veterans at lawn care that come into the store know that we carry all of the support products for your trimmers and mowers, as well. If you’re new to the neighborhood or new to the store, let us give you a tour of all we have to offer.
….Yall enjoy the last of summer, cut your lawn, work on your projects, have fun, and give thanks that we still live down here in Texas, where we still live free!
