Good morning

One clear day then back to solid rain all day-seems sacrilegious to fuss about rain but a few clear days could be nice for the critters and the farmers around here

Good morning

Went to Charleston, Mo to pick up a show calf for the youngest son(the dainty little one you met). She’s a little dandy-his last one before he has to retire the show stick or move on to the open division. The Ozark Empire Fair not terribly far from you will probably be his last hurrah as a junior. He’s trying to decide now whether he wants to continue with the registered stuff or go strictly commercial. The last sale barn check is making him lean towards commercial.

It has been good for him-
It is an expensive pursuit, but I think it has been worth it for the kids I’ve known that were involved. A lot of work, for sure.

Good morning

I'm heading out to feed and check on cattle.

JOTD
A man playing on a new golf course got confused as to what hole he was on.

He saw a lady playing ahead of him. He walked up to her and asked if she knew what hole he was playing.
She replied, “I’m on the 7th hole, and you’re a hole behind me, so you must be on the 6th hole.”
He thanked her and went back to his golf.
On the back nine, the same thing happened, and he approached the lady again with the same request.
She said, “I’m on the 14th, you are a hole behind me, so you must be on the 13th.”
Once again he thanked her.
He finished his round and went into the club house and saw the lady sitting at the end of the bar.
He went up to her and said, “Let me buy you a drink to show my appreciation for your help.”
He started a conversation and asked her what kind of work she did.
She said she was in sales, and he said he was in sales also. He asked what she sold.
She replied, “If I told you, you would only laugh.”
“No, I wouldn’t,” he said.
She said, “I sell tampons.”
With that he fell on the floor laughing so hard.
She said, “See, I knew you would laugh.”
“That’s not what I’m laughing at,” he replied. “I’m a toilet paper salesman, so I’m STILL one hole behind you!”

Are the trees changing colors if so I bet it's beautiful.

Not a lot of color change here on the plains in Oklahoma.
