from Dale and Karen Green, Castalia IA
Thank Matt Herr for fixing our flat tire! He made a definite hassle into an enjoyable visit for us. Thank You!

from Charlie Rowlett, Martin TN - University of Tennessee
Dave & Ross, Thanks for showing the students and myself Nichols Farms. I was very impressed with your operation and appreciate the encouraging talk that you gave the students letting them know how important agriculture is to America.

from Connie Quinn, Chadron NE
Dave— Very much enjoyed your last column, as I do most all of them. But, I read this one to my “men”. Thanks for your continuing contribution to our business.

from Wes Tiemann— Regional Manager American Angus Association
I enjoyed your last newsletter; I think you have more tour groups to your farm than the Grand Canyon.

from Tommy J. Mize, Pulaski TN
I run a full time commercial Sim/Angus cow-calf operation. I’ve been sending a load of steers to Tri County Feeder, Brian Bently, for seven years.

The high point of the five trips I’ve made to Iowa and the Great Plains area were my stops at Nichols Farms. I have been receiving the Nichols Newsletter since the 1980s and absolutely love Dave’s, “A Few Thoughts.” Please keep sending it.

from Wade Shafer Ph.D— Director of Simmental Performance Programs
Dave, Lillian, and Nichols Crew, I’m just prepping the data to run our disposition evaluation and see that you added lots of data to the mix. Thought I needed to tell you how much I appreciate your efforts.

from Josh White, Executive Vice President, Georgia Cattlemens Association
Ross, thank you for spending so much time sharing Nichols’ program with our Georgia group. Viewing your just weaned bulls and herd sires was the highlight for our producers. I appreciate your service to the beef industry by providing solid leadership as President of the Iowa Cattlemens Association
