★It’s getting busy for the show folks down here in Somerset, so y’all come! We’re getting into a lot of cosmetics and cleanup items necessary for a good-looking finish: shampoos, cleaners, sheeners and tough Little Giant fence feeders in cowboy red and black.

★We’re also proud to mention that we’ve had some of our neighbors head over as far as Houston to show a hog and a steer! We were happy to get them all squared away for the big trip with lots of great show items to give them the competitive edge they’re counting on from shopping with us, and we know they’re going to do awesome.

★Time for trail riding too, so come by for extra halters, tack, hay and hay nets. We’ve got the regular and a slow feeder so there’s less waste and a better mealtime.

★It doesn’t seem to matter about the weather this time of year, the clover is starting to come up, and cattle sheep and goats just can’t resist, even though bloat is likely to follow. We’re sure that all you livestock folks know that sweet licks bloat guard blocks really do the trick in dealing with this. We’ve got plenty waiting for you, because we know you’ll be headed this way soon.

★And of course it’s getting towards time to put in some grazer seed, and we recommend Galen Ward Sorghum Super Sugar in the 50 pound sack. We’ve got plenty of fertilizers to support this and your other basic demands on property. We’ve got 19-4-4 and 18-10-5, the best suited for this part of the country. And to put the finishing touch on your crop development and lawn care, don’t forget to pick up plenty of pre-emergent weed control in the form of Balan and 24D-Amine.

★The middle of this month end toward the end of February we’ll also have another round of baby chicks for you. We take egg production seriously just like you do, and so we have everything you’ll need for a big or small operation. Feeding and comfort are top priorities, and we keep all the supplies you’ll ever need: feeders, waterers, shavings, and Jupe Mills own medicated Chicks Starter to give everybody a good diet.

★You’ll also find that we have a wide variety of first class garden seeds: crookneck and zucchini squash, carrot seeds, and Jubilee and black diamond watermelon seeds. Heck we’ll even give you the benefit of our expertise in trying your hand at growing some of those Poteet strawberries that always seem to sell out way before the festival!
