As we set the sun on the 2026 South Dakota State fair, we want to say thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth. We had some great conversations with producers and a lot of people put in orders for the coming winter. We thank everyone who stopped by! One alarming thing I did hear is some opposing sales pitches that draw concern to me. As we go through the coming months we look to address these with factual information and real time differences so one can make a more educated decision vs trying to be sold too on something that really isn’t there. Today, I was told more times than I care to hear, ‘I bought company XYZ and I feel like I was lied too, it’s just not working like they said. I’ve watched you (c&w) enough that I like how you show and explain why you do what you do and try to educate vs sell, I’ll order….” From day 1, my goal has been to better the herd and that will be that way until I hang up the gloves, it’s why we are ‘Built by Cattlemen, For Cattlemen.’
Also, thank you to all the staff and volunteers who make the state fair such a memorable experience, everyone at C&W greatly appreciates it!
