Razzi bulls outweighed and out-scanned all other bulls we raised this year.

Great set of bulls - Blacks and Herefords - super crowd - record selling pace. You folks have done a great job in promoting your Angus and Hereford cattle. Keep up the good work. Thanks for inviting me and look forward to working with you next year. Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality you give us. It shows the true friendship we have between us.

You had a good set of bulls, the sale order was very well organized. All in all I thought it went very smoothly.

Enclosed is a check for the bull, $5,000. I waited until the heifers were supposed to start calving (283 days) 3/7/04 and I have had 17 calves as of 3/8/04. No problems. They have calved themselves in a 40 acre pasture. Bulls were number 61 (Vision) and 51 (Beefmaker) in the 2003 sale. First Razzi calf on 3/6/04 on the calvers - twin bull calves!!! Figured I had better pay my bull supplier.

A belated thank you for your catalogue and AI brochure - the catalogue arrived about 18 Feb. Very interesting. Your comments and photos are great. I planned to email you good wishes for your sale but was away in Auckland without your address when it should have been sent. How did it go? We had some friends from Tasmania, Australia, visit recently, and one of them has a brother who is interested in breeding sounder cattle, so we have given him your website and email address. The catalogue is going to the beef specialist at Ambreed.

We enjoyed your visit Sunday and trust you had a safe trip home. The bull is doing great, adjusting well, and eats his feed in about three minutes! The purchase of Dominator 667 is exciting and we are confident he will make a positive influence in our herd. He is an awesome individual that will contribute to our success. I thank you again for your guidance and friendship. We appreciate all you have done.

I really liked the picture you gave me for Christmas. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my gift to you. I’m pretty tired. Sheep can just wear you down and the bulls love to destroy the corral. I guess I’m one more day closer to victory. Then I can do it again. Enjoy your gift!

I hope everything is going okay for you guys this summer. We have finally started to catch a few rains. Well, better go for now. Thank you for all your help and let us know how the heifer turns out.

The AI-ing seemed to have went very well. The biggest day was 8 in the morning and 9 at night. The 16th of June is when we give the cows their shot. Thank you.

Hope you are settling in and everything is going good.

Dear Nick and family,
I was browsing through your sale catalog and thought I should write a quick note to thank you for keeping me on your mailing list the past 5+ years. I had the chance to meet up with you when you had cattle in the yards in Denver. Your newsletters are quite informative - we photocopy them and pass them around to our cattle friends to look over. Keep up the great work and have a successful and healthy year.

You would be very proud of 667. He looks and handles very well and is a good-doing bull. I have had Angus and club-calf people wanting to use him. He continues to get better, has never had a “bad” day. The bulls at the World Beef Expo did not come close. The last thing I want to pass along. The heifer that was reserve champion at World Beef Expo had been on pasture (no grain or hay) since August 15th. I pulled her into the barn 10 days before the show to get her ready. She only received hay and some oat-based feed while getting her fit. I will forward a photograph later. The judge greatly appreciated her movement, natural thickness and structure. Thank you again for your support, guidance and enthusiasm. I look forward to a successful and productive future for all of us.

Nick and Elaine,
Hope all is going well in your new place there in Nebraska. We too have relocated to Wisconsin and would like to give your our new address so we can continue to get your newsletters and stay abreast of what is happening with you folks. We are in NW WI and are finding it lovely here. We have our 60 Hereford cows and also a 45 cow dairy, Reg. Brown Swiss, as in SD. We have been here since February. We were at the World Beef Expo and met James and Alisa Nelson from Indiana who said they bought the base for their herd from you and spoke highly of both of you. Take care and God bless you in you new home. Sincerely yours,
-Wisconsin Friends

Hi Nick and Elaine, I just wanted to say Hi and tell you we just worked cows and weaned the calves. All the cows are between 105 and 120 days pregnant. We also have successfully synchronized the heifers because they are all at 130 days. We had a vet come with an ultrasound unit for preg checking. I have not put the calf weights in but I think they will be great adjusted 205 day weights. The bull from 1711 was 189 days old today and he was right at 600 lbs. (a nice little bull). 1711 weighed in at 1,300 lbs and the largest cow was 1,375 lbs. I hope to have 10 calves in the spring and I will let you know how that goes. I have included a picture of 1711 and her bull calf mentioned above. P.S. I will most likely be coming to your sale to buy another bull this February.
