Wednesday has been here and is on the way out.  Another dark night.  But that is to be expected.  Yesterday was a quick trip to Alva for the NWOSU FFA Interscholastics.  We only took a crew of 8th graders that wanted to compete in the Entomology contest.  These “buggers” did well for their first time as they picked up a 2nd place piece of hardware.  Then back to school.  For those of you that think life slows down as soon as stock shows are over, well, you would be wrong.  

       I appreciate all of the phone calls and texts regarding the upcoming online sale.  There are several that have requested video.  I don’t have any, but it has been duly noted that I need to think about it for next year.  Video, pictures, whatever, I still would rather trust somebody that knows the beasts.  

       One thing that I have noticed about myself this week.  I try to describe each animal in detail–positives and negatives.  But, I have realized that I get really in depth when it is a younger/up&coming breeder that I am talking to.  I’m not sure if it is the dad part, ag teacher part or just the fact that I want to see younger people do well and get the best that they can for their $s.  

Here’s to the next day and hopefully another after that.  The wind laid down for a few hours today, but it’s back.
