Volume 2, Number 2
Here it is February already, before you know it we will have
winter behind us. Those of us that attended the Phoenix EXPO had a nice break
from the cold weather as the daytime temperature was in the 80's! Dealers that
attended the seminars thought they were the best yet. Next February the spring
EXPO is going to be in Palm Springs so if you missed out on the Phoenix EXPO you
will have a chance to get in on nice weather and hot deals next February.
Your stores should be stocked for calving and lambing season. Daylight savings time starts on March 11, just think it is almost spring!!
