3/18/2015 UPDATE: A Big Thank You to everyone who took the time to submit all these great photos for our contest. We have some tough ranchers in this area who know how to get the job done, even when the weather makes it hard.
The winner of the March's Life Out West Photo Contest was #16, Bitter Cold for Babies submitted by Rene Brown. Be sure to keep an eye for next month's photo contest!
March's Life Out West Photo Contest: “No Snow Days. No Excuses.”
WIN a Calving Sled and Supplies from Western Ranch!!!
Northern Ag Network and Western Ranch Supply know that when it comes to feeding your cows, lambing your ewes, and some days just keeping your kids busy and out of trouble on your farm or ranch, there are NO Snow days, and NO Excuses for getting the job done.
In our first, Life Out West Contest, we want to see YOUR photos of getting it done no matter the circumstances. Although the snow hasn't been our fiercest obstacle this winter, we are looking for those pictures of days when even though the tractor is stuck in four feet of mud, you still have a job to do.
Western Ranch Supply will be giving away a Calving Supply Kit including a Calving Sled and an assortment of calving supplies such as colustrom, calf start, electrolytes etc. Winner will be the photo with the most “likes”, “shares” and “comments”. To see photos of Western Ranch's calving equipment go to Western Ranch's Facebook Page. Don't forget to “Like” their page while you are there!
The winner will be announced on National Ag Day, March 18.
To ENTER, please submit photos to Northern Ag Network via EMAIL and “Like” Western Ranch's Facebook Page!
