Good Clean Dirt

I was flipping through an issue of Beef magazine the other day and saw this advertisement for Alltech feeds. I was sitting next to my friend from Chicagoland (she calls it that, not me) and I showed it to her, thinking that this little dude in his Wranglers and his tiny Carhartt was pretty stinking cute.
Her response was to laugh, “Wow. Do they really start them that young?”

Wildfire

Today was my first day of work on the Barta Brother’s research ranch, and when Ben and I came home from town where we were picking up equipment, there was a giant plume of smoke off to the north.

Prairie "Pooch" Poop

Everything poops. I recently read a book entitled "What Shat That? - A pocket guide to matching feces with their species." and was quite entertained by all of the "interesting shit" and peculiar uses of what we usually consider a waste product.

Drive

I've found that music is extremely inspirational for me - it's one of those things that can get me through a long day or a tough time, and often expresses my feelings about almost everything. However, unlike my brother, I'm not musically gifted, so I'm just an avid listener. So bear with me once again as I share with you a song that I heard on the radio the other day that has always been one of my favorites. Daddy, this one is for you.
