Hair Care Tip from Bruce & Amy Sterzbach
"In the winter when every day rinsing is not possible,
we believe that SULLIVAN'S RUSS' RAG OIL
is one of your best, yet under-rated products.
We mix 1/4 RAG OIL & 3/4 DOUBLE DIP for what
we call a deep conditioning three-day process.
We apply this mix with a fogger and then comb in over the entire body.
To be left in two to three days to absorb into the skin.
In the summer we spray it on at night and rinse the next morning.
This is one of our all-time favorite products."
Sullivan's "Alert"
On hot, humid National Junior Heifer Show days,
the Champion Mainetainer, Champion Chianina,
Champion Shorthorn, and Champion ShorthornPlus
heifers all relied on "ALERT" for a little extra perk.
A NEW caffeine and ginseng instant energy product
now available in paste form for stubborn, lethargic and
dead headed cattle that act too tame and have no mo-jo.
A product to put a little perk in their metabolism;
much like your morning coffee or energy drink does for you.
Natural ingredients, drug-free.
