Good morning! I hope everyone is well, staying at home, and practicing social distancing during this Covid 19 pandemic. The world has slowed down and many businesses have closed, but farmers are always working so this pandemic has not changed our schedule. For many it has just given farm families "all hands on deck" so that the work can be shared, or everyone can focus more on their portion of the daily tasks. I am not pulling the "Thank a Farmer" card or trying to promote that farmers are working harder than anyone during this pandemic. We should all recognize what our healthcare workers are facing and how each and every one is on the frontline of battle against this virus. Continued prayers for each one and their families. We appreciate your dedication and hard work and the sacrifices of you and your families.
This morning I am sharing the sale catalog of neighbors and friends, Buckner & Jeffries Angus, located in Canmer, Kentucky. 31st Annual Sale. That says it all. This family has been in the Angus business for decades. If you are looking to buy Angus, take a look at their catalog. They are also a Kentucky Proud member. The sale includes cattle from the following Kentucky guest consignors: Fouts & Fouts Farm, Bill & Marla Gardner, Kostbade Kattle, Popplewell Angus, R&K Angus, REQ Angus, Shaw Family Angus.

The following is the statement posted on Facebook by Tim Jeffries. Please read carefully as they have included the sale protocol during the pandemic.
"This should be a link to the catalog for the 31st Annual Angus Opportunity, April 4, 2020. Let any of us know if we can help in any way.
We will be following the CDC's recommendations of social distancing by using tents outside the sale barn, allowing everyone to have more room and still view the sale. As much as we always love to see everyone sale day, this year we ask that you refrain from bringing extra people and young children to the sale. We will have a few small changes in how lunch will be served and will communicate those onsite. Registration for buyer numbers and check out will also be changed somewhat to accommodate social distancing recommendations.
All sale cattle will be on site tomorrow Thursday, April 2. If possible, we are encouraging everyone to come and preview the cattle before the sale on Saturday. Bids can be given to me, any consignor or sale staff. We are happy to help in any way possible."
