Rich-Sand Holsteins |
|
We will sell our dairy herd at the Springfield Livestock Dairy sale next Tuesday, November 25th.
Rich-Sand has had a long history in Missouri. We have been milking for 56 years and breeding AI
for 45 years. Over the last 10 years we have down sized our herd as we have gotten older.
The Rich-Sand herd is mostly targeted for late winter and early spring calving. We have
sold many high scoring females over the years that have gone on to produce generations of
high producing, high type females for their new owners. We are proud of the herd that we
have bred over the years. |

November 11th Meeting
While milk price is on your mind, due to the market downward shift, its the perfect time to
learn about how to read reports to protect your farm's profit moving forward. Most milk
contracts are made more then a year out. After learning what reports to stay in touch with,
and the information you need from your farm, you'll be ready to study. By tracking well in
advance and studying trends, you'll be ready to 'pull the trigger' at the right time for
your farm operation. In addition to milk contracting, attendees will also learn about
"unborn calf" insurance options that will protect the awesome pay price we are currently
receiving for week old babies. Knowledgeable partners from Specialty risk management and
Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) Risk Management Team are scheduled to come and enlighten
the group on risk management tools to help hedge the markets | ||
