To: mattlautner@hotmail.com
Hi Matt
This is a Monopoly steer produced from semen you dropped by the farm last year. I had some people from Ohio stop by this week to look at the calves and they thought he was the best one the had seen all year. Hope you can make it to the farm over Labor Day to see him sale.
Thanks Jason Graves

May Traffic Report: Attitude Determines Altitude
Our blog is receiving twice the traffic as the website, so if you multiply our rating by 2 we actually would make the top ten for cattle internet traffic and Charlie thinks that is awesome!
Keep in mind that commercial cattle websites are included in cattle.com stats...
