That lady in green is my wife. She wouldn’t want her picture taken. It’s after 9:00 PM and she’s just heading to the house after working a full time job then helping kids with steers/pigs/goat for the 4H fair. Hard working woman and I’m lucky to be married to her.

NCBA Summer Meeting and the San Diego Zoo. Great time working for the beef industry and a short family vacation.

I’ve never witnessed the sky turn pink before tonight. No filter and at first I couldn’t get my phone to pick it up. Finally got it to “natural light” and it captured it. We had just experienced a small rain. The actual colors were amazing.

Well I found the darn hole in the pasture. Thank goodness for cell service because I would’ve been walking. Wouldn’t budge even in 4WD. I was watching cattle and not paying attention. Pretty amazing recovery on the pasture after drought. Tall green grass is a good thing.

K-State fans — you’ve been patiently waiting for this one. The K-State BEEF hats are officially for sale (pre-sale) on the Wildcat NIL website!! Support Kansas BEEF and our offensive line by purchasing these hats! catsnil.com/store/

I have to say this is a pretty cool hat. I’m on the Kansas Beef Council and every hat purchased goes to purchase 1 lbs of ground beef for a local food bank. You can find them at catsnil.com. Go pick up a few.

Hats turned out nice. Now that I’ve got to see the grey ones I may need to order some of those too.

After a decent day of drilling wheat, it is my opinion that bourbon and Mexican Street Corn Cheetos pair nicely.

After an hour of messing around I finally realized the breaker was off at the pole. Still thawed but it is going to get cold tonight. Giving it five minutes to see if it’s warm then heading home.

Bonehead move and I never should have came down this road. Buried the old F350. Thankfully I’m only 1.5 miles from the farm and help is on the way.

This young lady got 3rd place in the FFA Greenhand division of her first meats judging contest today. Proud Dad here.

It’s always a pretty view to have calves lined up with frost on their backs. They were definitely hungry this morning.

Well here we go. Heifers started calving just in time for this cold snap.

This is exactly what I needed after a long day in the cold.

I’m 44. My youngest daughter is 13. She doesn’t think Higher by Creed is very cool. I thought it was pretty awesome to crank it and jam out. She rolled her eyes at me. 🙄 Guess I’m aging.

#ksleg spent much of its time this week taking final action on several bills before the turnaround deadline. This week was the halfway point of the session, where nonexempt bills must pass the chamber where they were introduced. 🧵 #KLAattheCapitol

#ksleg had a busy start to the week wrapping up final committee meetings and bill hearings. They then spent the remainder of the week working bills in the full House and Senate. 🧵 #KLAattheCapitol

Rotating cattle to fresh grass on a cool morning after a good rain last night. Does life get much better?
