                                                               Our 4 kids have kept us very busy this past year with 4-H, baseball,
                                                               softball, dance, basketball, multiple camps, and various other activities.
                                                               Graysen will be 11 in January, Leightyn is 9, Tristyn is 7, and Traysen just
                                                               turned 4 in December. Graysen and Dave got to do a lot of snowmobiling
                                                               last winter with all the snow we had, Graysen is missing that this year so
                                                               far. We remind him that there is a lot of winter left.  The girls are enjoying
                                                               their 2nd year of dance and get to participate in competitions this year, so
                                                               they are excited. Traysen is enjoying farm life, riding in anything that is
                                                               driven by Papa or just being with Papa in general.

                                                               We are down a little bit on numbers this year due to a couple of dry years
                                                               and culling hard to make sure we can offer the top end. This group of
                                                               bulls is a high-quality set and deep as they have been. We sell in catalog
                                                               order and as we made the sale order and then started doing footnotes,
                                                               we aren’t sure why we put some bulls down as far as they are but they
                                                               can’t all be first! We have some full ET brothers that are going to give
                                                               consistent calves. Grassy Meadow Ranch’s objective has been to provide
                                                               Red Angus bulls with power, performance, and frame without giving up
                                                               the maternal qualities. Our powerful females have been proving to us that

                                                               heifers but don’t give up the length and muscling. We have some new
