Kinda neat, we had a set of triplet calves a couple days ago. Would have been good sized calves if they were singles, let alone three of them.

Why sell cash corn when you can feed it to $1800 calves at 9% interest to fight frozen water all winter? #mentaldisorder

Son used his 4H steer money to buy the @LEGO_Group Titanic set. 9000+ pieces. About 4'6" long. About 20 hours actual build time for him. Good work, Cy! 👍

Could sell $6 maybe $7 corn, but you put it in a pile and buy $2+ feeders because you have an addiction to feed. #BEEF

Baffled by the money deer hunters have. Buy a way overpriced rough farm, kick the cattle off (cause cattle and deer don't coexist all of a sudden, even though they bought b/c of all the deer they saw) to maybe shoot 1 deer. Makes 1 expensive deer in my mind.

It is one of the nicest facilities. When I was a little kid, the owner, Tommy, would call me over and give me a dollar or two to go get a candy bar and pop. Seemed like every week he would slide me that $1 bill. Crystal clear memory.

Hey, @HyVee , you want to clear up this decision on pulling @HertzogMeatCo off your meat shelf yet? Sure feels like the big 4 Packers helped your decision. Would think a Midwest chain would love having a local born, raised, processed product on the shelf.

Roads have ice. Truck did some doughnuts going down the hill, feedwagon went about 30 yards backward trying to go forward on fairly flat ground. Only logical thing to do is sit at a sale and try to buy more. Cattle is a mental disease.
