Wasn’t the Lexington plant the old New Holland plant and IBP converted it?

Big sister moved up to head cowboy on the pen rider crew, she makes sure mom doesn’t miss a down ear calf. Little sisters still in feed truck driver training. #NebraskaBeef

Kudos to the Kansas and Texas cash cattle traders this week, little disappointed in Nebraska trading 10 lower on a Monday morning, basis was too good to pass up I guess, maybe we can do better next week. #cashcattle

If you think he is full of it on this because you know something about how this actually works, consider the possibility that he is full of it on many of the other things you know very little about.

If anybody is tired of scooping bunks or needs a second one, I’m selling this SW Bunk blower on Big Iron next week, DM me if you have any questions.

Typical scenario for me, finished a vet call but need to go on an 80 mile parts run, no billfold and I’ve rounded up $8.47 in the vet truck, wish me luck! @LizForker you around if I don’t make it?

I’ve got a new feed truck driver in training this morning, she sleeps on the job a lot.

It’s not very often I get to push calves to the chute, kinda nice and quiet back here.

My 3 year old helper told me I knew you would need these zip ties so I got them ready for you.

Bunker walls are 12’ and we are 6’ above that with one more day of high moisture corn to go, I think my son in law has taken it as a challenge to see if he can fit it all somewhere.

Some on X get bent out of shape because dad won’t get out of the combine,my dad is 88 and has done 95% of this years crop and I’m ticked pink I get to work with him.He remembers harrowing oats behind horses as a kid, think of the changes he’s seen, it’s not his first day at this.

Was that 2008 or 2009 when the corn never did dry down? Might be another year like it, I’ve got 111 day corn planted April 21 at 34 moisture, glad I’ve got a high moisture corn pit for sure.

Rinse, repeat, packers are going to lurk in the shadows until futures break 5 bucks Tuesday or Wednesday and then come out with steady/lower bids, seems like one could lift hedges but still negotiate higher bids and improve basis. #cashcattle

Preg checked some cows today with the nursing home processing crew, I’ve got to give a lot of credit to the baby boomer generation, they went after it and got it done, just like they have been doing for the last 50 years, pretty good crew! #boomers

It’s kind of a strange morning, we don’t get many rainbows in the west around here. #eatbeef

We’re at the point in the cattle cycle where I’m more concerned with return of my money than on my money.
Anyone else ready to admit they have absolutely no clue what this cattle market is doing and where it is going? I'm all about the guys talking up the market with rainbows and sunshine but admittedly I'm mostly trying to figure out how to get my chips off the table.
