Once again, I find myself in the unenviable position of having my life being a warning to others. I slipped on some ice on December 1st and broke my ankle. After surgery and under x-ray, my ankle resembles the hardware section of the Do It Best Center. I’m hoping to be back on my feet in a couple of weeks with a great scar to help my street cred and a dull story to tell if anyone asks how I got it.

Planning ahead is one of the best ways to protect both herd performance and your bottom line. Spring is right around the corner, bringing calving, pasture turnout, and fly season—all of which place increased demands on your cattle. Booking your mineral now allows you to lock in the best prices of the season while ensuring your herd is ready when it matters most.
