If we were all a little nicer, I think we’d all be a little happier. That seems like a good thing. Let’s give it a try.

@gavin_spoor I’ve never thought about that story in that context. Thanks for sharing the insight. Something to mull in my business and to a topic to pose to my customers.

@DeadwoodSD Beautiful weather, fantastic time!

@A_Sober_Drunk @3YearLetterman Twitter gets the full deduction if they pay it to a person, just like how salaries are deducted.

@PrezWisdom @FMRedHawks!

@SwanyND @Swany8 This was fantastic.

@sf28430 This is just one of several reasons why I’m not a farmer.

@amhistoryguy @PrezWisdom Favorite fictional president needs to be a poll/major topic of discussion here.

[Kevin Teigen @KevinTeigen]

@PrezWisdom Oddly, I’m more confident in spotting the son Robert Lincoln (seated second from left) than president. Center seat looks like Arthur, far right seat looks like Cleveland.

[Kevin Teigen @KevinTeigen]

@CavenderKeith @PrezWisdom I didn’t even see that. I was too distracted by bushes that appear to be pruned into the shape of giant duckies.

@PrezWisdom @GarfieldNPS Honorable mention to Lincoln assisted his future Secretary of War in a patent dispute case.

I don’t know if this is a GOOD idea, but it’s certainly a BIG idea.

I love thinking about big ideas. Little ideas, too, but that’s a topic for a different day.

What if there was a way to:
• Mitigate climate change
• Create more life
• Grow the economy
• And make money along the way?

Let's call it *Seaflooding*

@PrezWisdom I’m kind of surprised that the fans in the stands didn’t applaud when they left.

[Kevin Teigen @KevinTeigen]

@karlarosehanson I applaud the candor with which he admits his glaring weakness and think this is a gigantic missed opportunity for him to improve his skills.

And if I’m not trying to be polite, it’s total crap. It’s elitist and disenfranchises a majority of constituents.

@NDSUcattle @NDSU_eX_Steward It sounds like the factors are numerous enough that “rule of thumb” accuracy is about all one could hope for on this, and even then the market uncertainty is still going to throw a wrench in even the best laid plans.

[Kevin Teigen @KevinTeigen]

Ranchers,
Do you ever look at the extended forecast and feed price and decide whether to sell calves a month earlier or later than normal? Or do you set a plan and stick with it? Is there research on “cattle gain x pounds on y amount of feed at z temperature? Genuinely curious.

[Kevin Teigen @KevinTeigen]

@NDSUcattle @NDSU_eX_Steward The angle I was shooting for is if there is a rule of thumb to help my ranch clients decide on the hold/sell decision, particularly during the winter months where feed is expensive and weight gains slow. With interest rates higher, than in the past, “hold” costs more per day.

[Kevin Teigen @KevinTeigen]

@NDSU_eX_Steward @NDSUcattle So it’s almost like managing a herd is a complex job…

[Kevin Teigen @KevinTeigen]

@NDSU_eX_Steward So the weight gain factor of feed is a moving target? That makes sense.
Are there reliable ratios to say “my herd gained at this rate in November at an average temp of ___, so average temp of __ in Dec means I can’t expect a gain of ___”?
