Tax Exempt Forms

Recently many of our customers have gotten an email or a letter from us asking to complete a Tax Exempt form for us to keep on our files. Here's a little background on that. Trust us, we wish we didn't have to be dealing with this either!

Our accountant recently informed us of some changes in the sales tax code that require even non-tangible service providers to charge tax. Before, we didn't have to charge tax because what we were providing was a service that you really can't touch or pick up or put in a bag and carry out of a store.

However, after speaking with the State Comptroller in Texas...yes, that's right, we went straight to the top, we found out that yes, we are required to charge sales tax for the graphic design and web design services. Some people say, we'll I've never been charged for this by anyone else who's done ad work for me before....well, get ready.

So, here is the good news. The only clients that we are required to charge sales tax to are those residents of Texas. So far all of you non-Texans (I feel so sorry for you...not everyone can live in the Lone Star State), you're fine. You don't have to send in anything.

For all of you Texans....here is what we need. Most all of our clients are in the agricultural industry, so you are well aware that you can file an ag exemption for sales tax. All we need you to do is send in that form so we can have it on file, and then we won't be required to charge you sales tax.

And, for those of our clients who are in Texas and not in ag, well, we have to start charging you the sales tax.

If you need the form, it is right here: http://ranchhousedesigns.com/PDFs/tax%20exempt%20form.pdf

Just fill that out and fax it back to us so we can make sure we have all of our records on the up and up. THANKS!!!!

Harvey Farms

In the registered cattle business for more than 25 years, John and Laura Harvey initially began their herd with the Limousin breed. After much success with Limousin cattle, ten years ago Harvey Farms ventured into the registered Angus business.


They dispersed their herd of Limousins and begun to purchase their foundation herd of Angus cattle. Harvey Farms quietly built their herd of Angus cattle from the top producers at that time - Hyline Angus (Manhattan, MT), Gardiner Angus (Ashland, KS), Sitz Angus Ranch (Harrison, MT), Sherrod Farms (Oneonta, AL), and E E Ranches (Winona, MS).

Over the years, they’ve used proven AI sires to complement individual cows and embryo transfer on some of their very best cattle. The goal at Harvey Farms is to raise cattle that are sound and solid, and produce top-performing Angus.

Visit their web site to see the sires and females they have available. Also, be sure and check out their upcoming events, including the Mississippi Angus Association Field Day in August.

New Office Remodel - Exterior Paint Colors

Wow, if you think choosing the color of a print ad or a web site background is hard, try choosing the color of an office! I'm sure many of our readers can relate to this fear of painting something whether it be your home or show equipment. I can definitely relate to a few bad paint choices in my day.

So this weekend, Brandon and I did lots of office remodel work, including removing the stick on sign letters from the new office. Just a note. If you have ever considered purchasing big giant letters to stick on the side of your building or office, think again. These were a nightmare to remove. But, we got it done, so now we can move on to the next part of the remodel, which is painting the exterior.

Since we're so handy with Photoshop, I did the sample painting in Photoshop. Sort of. I realize this isn't exact, but here are the choices we had.

Original: Yellow

Choice #1: Cardboard Color

Choice #2: Outerbanks Color

Choice #3: Tree Branch Color

So, here are the three options we've narrowed it down to. Of course this is a Photoshop simulation. We're going to give it a few days to sink in, and make our decision. Meanwhile, we'd love to hear your thoughts on what color looks the best....Original, Cardboard, Outerbanks, or Tree Branch.
