Hello from the Glacial Ridge! We hope this letter finds you and your family well. As we look back at this past year and forward to a new one,
we must realize we are truly blessed. It is also a good time to reflect and calibrate each aspect of our operation; what is working and what needs improvement.

EXAMPLE OF CONTINUOUS HERD IMPROVEMENT

For example, a few years ago we still felt the need to put out creep feeders a couple of weeks before weaning to help them transition onto feed, but we were getting some toe ulcers in the bulls about a month later. Since we quit that practice, I am happy to say that it is no longer an issue. I strongly believe in seldom using the phrase “That’s how we have always done it”.

Make plans to attend the Bred For Balance Sale by Clear Springs Cattle Company in Starbuck, Minnesota, scheduled for February 14, 2025.

We hope you can join us! Travis Wulf Family & Crew
