2009: Away we go!!!!!

Where has the year gone? I can't believe that it's time for another sale already. It just seems like yesterday we were pushing snow and cleaning calving pens! Club Calf Paradise is gearing up at full speed to get things ready for the sale. There are lots of changes in the front pasture this year. The Bunk House got a bit of a remodel and is more like home now. We are working hard to finish the new "wash bay" for the calves.

Many of our consigned calves are arriving this weekend to get ready for the sale. The rest will arrive around the 19th of August. I would say that by the 23rd of August we will be ready for visitors. We have an exceptional set of consignors this year and we are excited for everyone to see the dynamite set of calves we will have to offer. ALL of the calves will be videotaped and online after the 23rd of August. You will be able to see a still photo but also a short video clip so you can see them on the move. Soundness is priority at CCP along with attitude so you can buy with confidence!

I am especially looking forward to keeping up with the blogs and sharing fun stories that are unfolding here during the process. I guess we wouldn't do this if we couldn't have a little fun and I want to be able to share that with everyone.

We are still in the process of updating all of the information on the website. There are some simple changes in the bidding process so be sure to read all of the information. Also, we will be offering some great payment methods and incentives so stay tuned for those as well.

I look forward to seeing everyone again. There have been some great success stories since last year's sale and I am sure that we will be hearing more as the summer progresses. One of the calves purchased at CCP was Grand Champion at the 2008 Arkansas State Fair. Another one of our new consignors, Hanson Club Calves, had the 2008 Grand Champion steer at Louisville!

Darby the cow-dog is looking forward to seeing all of his friends again. We are looking forward to seeing you too!

Best of luck to everyone this summer and stay tuned!
