Freshly Picked

With four growing kids, our family goes through a lot of groceries. Grocery shopping is probably my least favorite task every week (second only to dusting). The retail giants call me a once-a-week big basket shopper. Every week I look at what’s on the schedule and plan out our nightly dinner menu. I throw in everyone’s favorite grab-and-go breakfast and lunch items, snacks and even consider a couple of big weekend breakfast plans as my list builds, and builds and builds.

From time to time, I like to look back and reflect on the many changes that have taken place in the cattle industry over the past 50 years. At times, it seems almost unrecognizable to me, as we’re now confronted with embryo transfer, sexed semen, genomic testing, DNA analysis, and EPDs for every trait imaginable, just to mention a few. Most of the advancements have benefited cattlemen immensely, but….. when I was a youngster, there was not a veterinarian on duty at the livestock auction barn.
