Sale Season has begun!

When some of you think of Spring you probably think of the birds singing and flowers blooming. But, if you're a Texas Longhorn Breeder or an advertising agency serving them you think one thing: SALE SEASON! We've been hard at work here at Mo Co. designing sale catalogs and websites for 2009 Spring Sales including the well known, Texas Longhorn Legacy V Sale. If you're a Longhorn or cattle breeder in need of a sale catalog give us a call. We'd love to help you out. We pride ourselves on making this portion the stressful sale experience as pleasant and organized as possible. Check our website for testimonials from recent clients today! Best of luck to all of our clients holding Spring Sales.

A different look for a unique hotel

We have been working with Designer Inn & Suites in Toledo for a number of years. It's a wonderful, family owned hotel with THE coolest fantasy suites that you have ever seen! The owner takes months to hand craft each Suite. If you are ever in the Tama/Toledo area be sure to stop by and see them or better yet book a trip to Iowa and spend the night with Designer Inn and Suites - I'm sure you won't regret it (just check out their testimonials page)! To date they offer Northern Nights, an igloo themed suite; Crystal Cave, complete with a waterfall shower; Rainforest - this one will really make you think you're in the tropics! Arabian Nights, complete with a floating carpet seating area and sand on the walls; Roman Retreat, Aces Wild and Hearts Delight.

Thank you to Designer Inn and Suites for letting us design their new website and we look forward to setting up their on-line reservation system soon! Check it out at www.designerinnandsuites.com.

Proudly Announcing Hired Hand...

Mo Co. Creative Services is proud to tell you about Hired Hand Animal and Content Management System. If you're a Longhorn Breeder or raise other animals, and understand the importance of having an up-to-date website you'll want to read on...

I have been helping breeders in the Longhorn Industry build strong brands, professional websites, and award-winning marketing campaigns for over 10 years.

Over those 10 years, I realized that there needed to be an easier way for today’s busy cattle breeder to update information on their professionally-designed websites. Many of the breeders used software to track vaccinations, birthing records, and more and then sent those files to me, at which time I entered that data into their website files. In the hopes that I could save my clients time and money, I decided to develop a plan…Hired Hand Software was officially born and breeders across the nation couldn’t be happier. Longhorn breeders now have a centralized system to track information on their herd and, at the click of a mouse, they can publicize it across the Internet through their website.

Hired Hand Software is a complete website package that gives you the ability to showcase your herd AND to easily manage your site's content yourself. Designed from the ground up for Longhorn breeders, our web-based animal and content management system comes with default options and categories geared specifically to the animals you breed. This system is custom-made for you!

To further simplify the job of managing while promoting your cattle, Hired Hand significantly reduces the need for duplicate data entry by giving each system user access to any animal in the system. No need to reenter pedigree information for the same animal twice (or more!). Once an animal is in the system, all users may access its data. How's that for a time saver?!

It gets even better for users of the leading cattle management system. Hired Hand lets you import reports directly into your website. Once again, no need to key in data twice!

Still not convinced that Hired Hand will make your life easier by giving you a hand with your cattle on the internet? Visit www.HiredHandSoftware.com today to learn more - we'll sure you'll love what you see!

Brody's Birthday

Yes, I am so far behind that I neglected to post pictures from my son's 2nd Birthday session. To the Grandma's and Grandpa's - I'm sorry!!! As you can tell my daughter is the one that loves the camera - Brody didn't smile once and just wanted to play. Boys!!

Grand Opening

Those of you that know me or have worked with me in the past know that I do everything I can to help out my clients...So here's one big push for all of you shoppers out there who love to decorate your homes to visit the Basket of Daisies GRAND RE-OPENING. Lori Larsen has purchased Basket of Daisies and moved it to Main Street in Cedar Falls. The store itself is beautiful and the products are amazing.

Senior Photos

"K" was here for her senior photos recently and this girl cannot take a bad picture! K. is a senior at North Tama in Traer and aspires to be a TV Anchorwoman or reporter which will be just perfect for her because she's a natural in front of the camera. K. is also a setter for the NT Volleyball Team - Go Redhawks! Check out more '09 Senior Photos in our updated portfolio...

Getting Ready for the LWC

So, yes, it's been a while since my last post. Things have been just crazy, I have to admit. I wouldn't have it any other way though! Thank you to all of my clients, old and new, who have been having me work on materials for the upcoming LWC in Guthrie. Over the past few weeks we have produced a lot of signs, vehicle magnets, business cards and more. I can't wait to see them all on display at the big event. Here are a few photos of the final product before they shipped out...

To say that things are crazy here at Mo Co. would be an understatement. We're wondering where the summer has gone and barely have time to peek outside and see it's sunny! We're so happy to be busy and especially want to thank all of our new client's that we've met over the past few months. Here are some of the new websites we've been developing - make sure you visit them often as they all have some outstanding Texas Longhorns for sale at all times. Enjoy!

Buz Card Buzz

I know, I know...It's been a while since my last post. Things are beyond crazy busy at Mo Co. these days (and that's a good when you're a business owner like myself). I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of my clients, both new and old, for all of their continued business. I've received so many nice notes and emails from you over these past few weeks and am so appreciative of the referrals and work that you give that has allowed us to grow. I truly love what I do and having great clients makes my job even better! So THANK YOU!

Be sure to give these companies a call if you're in need of their products or services - they're all great! Check back soon for more updates!

Puddle Jumping

I'm sure most of you have heard by now that most of Iowa has been ravaged with floods. In Tama County it's not as bad as some but we still have creeks that have turned into raging rivers, a local golf course and other low-lying areas that seem unrepairable, farmers who are hurting and we have lots, and lots of big, messy PUDDLES! Without making light of a horrible situation we thought we'd let the kids have a little fun in the mud and water. I just wanted to share a few of the photos that resulted...
