Heifer to be Given Away At Second Annual Marquess Production Sale in April 2007
Attendees to the upcoming Second Annual Marquess Production Sale on April 21, 2007, will have the chance to win M Arrow Surprise, a very special heifer with proven 70-plus-horn growth in her pedigree.
TLBAA Members Ron and Barabara Marquess, Ben Wheeler, TX, have set aside this heifer and have posted the following on their Sale Web site:
At the conclusion of our Production Sale we will have a drawing for the heifer pictured below. This is not just any heifer, she is, to our knowledge, the only heifer to date with this particular breeding. Her sire is JM Sue 72+" T2T and her dam is Watson 476 one of the first DH Red Ranger 73 1/2" T2T daughters.
After turning down a $10,000.00 offer for this heifer we decided to promote our Production Sale by giving her to some lucky individual.
Here is the only terms to winning this magnificent little lady: At the conclusion of the Production Sale on April 21, 2007, all the Lot numbers will be put in the drawing. The more lots purchased the more chances to win. There are only 122 lots so the odds start at one in 122 and get smaller with the lots purchased. The purchaser of that lucky lot number will take this beautiful heifer home with them.
Pictured below are her Dam and Granddam both fantastic cows bred by our good friends Wes and Wesley Watson. Both DH Red Ranger and JM Sue are among the elite bulls of today.

Weekly Hay Report from the Texas Department of Agriculture
Compared to last week: Prices remain steady. Demand and trade moderate, although it has slowed down a little and the market has been quiet. Supply is tight, especially on small square bales of alfalfa. Some interest has been noted on new crop and bids have been weaker thus far. The competition on hay remains strong because of the increasing prices in corn, as well as fertilizer and fuel. Most areas have experienced some moisture in the last week, and more rain is expected this weekend. Land preparation continues in all areas. Supplemental feeding continues. In the Panhandle, North Central and Eastern areas sprigging coastal and other Bermuda grass hybrids are taking place. In the West the burn bans have been lifted for the time being because of the recent moisture received. Hay fields are being prepared for planting as well, and some have experienced problems with weevils. In the South, the moisture has caused a little flooding in some areas. They have also been experiencing some winds, which leads to concern about damage to crops from the sand. Soil moisture has been reported as very short to adequate around the state. Wheat is in fair to good condition. Pasture and rangeland conditions remain fair to good. The State of Texas Department of Agriculture has the Hay and Grazing Hotline set up for buyers and sellers. The number is 1-877-429-1998. The Web site for TDA is www.agr.state.tx.us. For a hay report from a state other than Texas please click here.
