When feed and water are unavailable, cattle shrink about 1% per hour for the first 3 to 4 hours and then roughly 0.25% per hour for the next 8 to 10 hours. Weight loss can increase dramatically when transport stress is added.

We've spent the past few days in Nashville celebrating the Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame!

Honoring Bob Foote with so many friends and family made this celebration especially meaningful. Thanks for joining us, sharing memories, and helping us celebrate Bob's legacy.

My son texted me the letter "X" at 11 PM.
That is our agreement.
It means: "Things are getting weird. Get me out. But make it look like you are the bad guy."
I called him immediately. I used my "angry dad" voice.
"I told you to clean the garage before you left! Get home right now or you're grounded for a month!"
He hung up, rolled his eyes at his friends, and said, "My dad is such a psycho. I gotta go."
He got in the car. He was safe. He didn't have to be a "snitch" or "uncool."
He just had to be the kid with the annoying dad.
I will wear that badge every single day if it keeps him safe.

When Rachael, 39, was told she was expecting twins with Down syndrome, the doctors’ first reaction wasn’t surprise. It was fear.

Not theirs. Hers—expected, anticipated, almost demanded.

They told her six times.

Six times they offered her an abortion.

And even before her daughters were born, someone went so far as to offer condolences.

But Rachael didn’t cry.

She didn’t shake.

She didn’t want to run away.

Beside her, her husband Cody—a young student pilot—chose to stay with her.

Despite the fears.

Despite their daughters’ hearts showing serious defects.

Despite everyone’s eyes on those extra chromosomes as if they were a verdict.

Charlotte and Annette were born in 2018.

Identical, small, powerful.

A one-in-a-million case.

Two lives that should have been frightening, yet brought hope instead.

Charlotte underwent heart surgery at six months.

Annette, against all odds, was born without heart defects.

The birth? Natural. No emergencies.

Just immense gratitude.

Around them, silences full of dark expectations.

As if everyone was ready to see them suffer.

But Rachael makes it clear:

“There was no pain in our hearts. Only love. For those living little bodies, for those smiles full of life, for those extra chromosomes that don’t change the essential.”

Today, Charlotte and Annette explore the world with eyes full of wonder.

Small, yes. With unsteady steps and laughter that fills the house.

They play with their siblings, cuddle the dog Max.

They live every day with a joy that can’t be measured by medical charts.

Rachael has no doubts:

“If I could go back, I would choose them again. Exactly as they are.”

Because true love isn’t afraid of difference.

And courage isn’t in fighting the diagnosis,

but in looking it in the eye and saying:

“I welcome you.”

Look at that lineup of Iowa farmers who showed up (during their busiest time of the year) to help a friend that was tossed by a 1200 lb. steer and has 7 fractures.

Since he can't harvest, his friends did it. They brought 8 combines and 10 semis - plus wagons and tractors. The local restaurant provided lunch and in a few hours, His harvest was complete so he can concentrate on healing. I LOVE these stories of community so much more than all the other junk going on in the world. Great job, There are still great people around us!
