The cattle industry in the USA is changing as quickly as the economy or the weather. I hate to use the weather, because it is so overused, but I can't think of anything else that changes that quickly, (except maybe my wife's mind!). Anyhow, my wife thought I should do a blog because I like to write, and she thought I had useful things to say. So here I am typing what seems to be frivolous thoughts for anyone to read as a means to 1) relieve stress, 2) vent about my job, 3) get a life, and 4) at least recognize that I have an opinion. I think I will approach this as if no one else will ever read it, but write it so that anyone could.

My wife thinks that people will find my day/work to be interesting. I don't know how much popular appeal there is to farming, although I can say that I personally find it very interesting. Check back often to read about the trials and tribulations associated with operating a farm/feedyard where the management is close to its help, and the help likes to goof off a lot.
