Guard your RFID credit cards

RFID technology is very familiar to cattle breeders, and it could become popular with electronic thieves with nasty intentions as well. Watch this video and then check your credit cards to be in the know and on guard. Part One can be viewed HERE. Be sure to watch Part 2 HERE (where it says 2 RFID credit cards can cancel out each other's signal). Thanks to Val for passing this on.

MVF Dispersal is now history

501 lots, 600 head and 8.5 hours later and the MVF Complete Dispersal is now history. The Virden Auction Mart was SRO (standing room only) from the beginning of the sale and almost to the end. Buyers from across Canada, the US and overseas. Complete details will follow.

Off to the MVF Dispersal

A dispersal with the depth of quality and quantity found in the Mountain View Farms herd doesn't happen very often. So I will soon be off to beautiful downtown Virden, Manitoba (leaving the cows at home in very capable hands) to join the many others who make the trek to watch Canadian Angus history in the making. 77 years in the Angus business is quite an achievement and deserves a proper celebration!
Hope to see many of you there and that the weather cooperates. If by chance you are driving a trailer from Alberta to Virden, there's a wee miniature donkey in need of a ride at Cooke Livestock. See the classifieds at EverythingAngus.com for details if you can help out.
