Friends,

Welcome to the 9th Annual HCC Customer Appreciation Sale. We’re proud to be associated with a dedicated group of breeders and this tremendous consignment. Last years offering has amassed numerous honors and we expect no less of this set.

We’ve seldom experienced so much optimism in the cattle business. With current market conditions there’s never been a better time to get your house in order. In the seedstock and show calf industry quality should always be our ultimate goal and this is not the time to become complacent. With that in mind we have been more stringent than ever in our selection process for this sale.

The cattle out of this sale have, in recent years, had a huge impact on the breed. It gives us great satisfaction to see the success of our customers and as you study the catalog you’ll find some super progeny of animals sold in past sales. You will see more genetic diversity and the greatest set, top to bottom, ever sold in this event.

We particularly want to congratulate the Juniors that have done such a good job with HCC genetics. We’re pleased to see so many qualify for the HCC Junior Bonus Program. Kay and I want to thank our loyal customers, old and new, and wish everyone a Happy Holiday season.

Respectfully,
Mike Hartman
