\u00a0 Fishing. \u00a0Why? \u00a0You don&#8217;t know what is down there until you see it. \u00a0HUGE added bonus&#8211;You can release a fish back and not have a mess to clean up. \u00a0Hunting&#8211;once you shoot it, you got a job to clean it. \u00a0It&#8217;s all good and I love the hunt more than the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Kind of reminds me of showing livestock. \u00a0I love the hunt of looking for good stock. \u00a0I love trying to read genetics. \u00a0Trying to see\/feel what is there. \u00a0I love the work of trying to get them right, managing feed, etc. \u00a0But I do not enjoy the mess that some people can create at stock show time. \u00a0I really just want to find em, work em, look at em and turn them back out and say &#8220;Yeah, that one looks good.&#8221; \u00a0Or, &#8220;That deal didn&#8217;t feed out so well.&#8221; \u00a0I just enjoy looking at good stock&#8211;regardless of species. \u00a0I don&#8217;t enjoy all the extra-curricular activities that can cloud the real reason we do this. \u00a0Which, in case you forgot&#8211;is to improve livestock and more importantly use livestock to raise our kids.<\/p>\n<p>Huge CONGRATS to Addie Schneberger with her res. grand wether at the SW district show today. \u00a0No, I didn&#8217;t raise the goat. \u00a0 I&#8217;ve never ever seen the goat. \u00a0I hope the goat is good. \u00a0But the Kelln Klan are really big fans of Addie Schneberger. \u00a0This kid is way cool, works hard and is going to be really successful. \u00a0She is like her mom. \u00a0Thank GOD! \u00a0I consider her dad a friend and enjoy talking the business with him. \u00a0But, I really like the whole family unit. \u00a0Good people.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the song JukeBox Hero by Foreigner just came on. \u00a0Dude! \u00a0I like that song. \u00a0I like it a lot! \u00a0Ask Tyke. \u00a0He&#8217;s had to listen to that song at ear-splitting level numerous times. \u00a0I remember it being a big dang deal to plug a quarter in the jukebox and pick some songs. \u00a0Dang, you had to study the song list in order to make sure that you picked all great ones. \u00a0That last selection was of paramount importance as you did not want to pick a sub-par song.<\/p>\n<p>Hunh?! \u00a0 Kind of like dealing with livestock.<\/p>\n<p>This is the end of these very random ramblings from this dude that is remembering why he likes to kid in the months of May, June and July.<\/p>\n<p>I ate spaghetti for supper.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m done.<\/p>\n<p>Have<\/p>\n<p>a<\/p>\n<p>good<\/p>\n<p>one<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>a<\/p>\n<p>better<\/p>\n<p>tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just overheard Duke tell his mother that our family just missed a national holiday. \u00a0She said, &#8220;Kelln males don&#8217;t care about Valentine&#8217;s Day.&#8221; \u00a0He replied, &#8220;Not that holiday. \u00a0Today was the last day of quail season and Dad and I were too busy to go.&#8221; \u00a0 \u00a0I guess both [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1426"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1426"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1430,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1426\/revisions\/1430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
