This is a shot of my daughter, Mesa, sorting bulls. She has become quite well known as a stock contractor and model. That’s all great but this is the place she spends most of her time. This is D&H Cattle Company’s arena and bull working facility. I think she works way to hard and it is dangerous, but I also think she enjoys this part more than the glamour part and I am real proud of that.

I find this interesting information and hope we in agriculture understand the power of social media and are aware of the real trends in the consumer. I feel we sometimes see things the way we want them and may be missing some important trends that we need to see coming or try to change.

I was driving in Colorado and saw this mix and thought it was worth a picture.
The bunch contained horses, bison, Brahman, longhorns, Angus and a jackass. They were all content and seemed to be tolerating each other nicely. I don’t know if they had been worked with or negotiated with to get along this good or not.
All the nations in the world should take this as an example of different needs getting along. It wouldn’t hurt if whites, blacks, Indians, Latinos, and all other races of people could get along as good as grazing animals. NCBA, R-CALF, and the US Cattlemens should all quit acting like a bunch of young bulls on the fight and try to work together for the herd (we are even for the same species). Even the Jackass was getting along in this bunch.
