Season’s greetings
First I would like to thank Myrna Crystal Blade and Shirley at West Wind Blondes for giving us the opportunity to purchase their quality females. I would also like to thank Paul Fee at Fee Haven Farms for the wonderful care he provided for Blade until we got him home and taking the time to take him to more shows. Blade was Reserve Grand Champion and the top selling bull at the Lindsay National show and sale.
All the best in the new year to all our breeds and buyers. Shellie Wolfe and Dave Rounds 2507828565 Email [email protected] Web www.dustyacreblondes.com
