Farmers and Soldiers
Have a Lot in Common...

They may not be related, they may not even know each other or they may
even speak different languages... :. bit they are both fighting together. The
soldiet fights with His brains and equipment ....
The soldier knows the value of keeping his equipment in first-class condition
....and farmers take their cue from him.

sired the champion club calf
“Frasea Kay’s Good Gift,” which
was outstanding at last year’s

His dam, Frasea Peggy Kay, has
completed a record of 507 pounds

We hope to see more good sires
