Today’s current climate lends one to read, look at, view and\/or listen to a variety of different forms of media. \u00a0I don’t want to watch nor read any given “news” source. \u00a0This is not a new deal with me. \u00a0I started this practice in 2008. \u00a0If you need\/want to know why–call me. \u00a0This was the point that I realized that there was very little “news” reporting happening and mostly just “copying and pasting”. \u00a0If the first one didn’t have the facts right, the rest of them are wrong. \u00a0It was like cheating in high school. \u00a0You better get your info from the right source.<\/p>\n
In today’s society, it has only gotten worse. \u00a0These ass-clowns have put the 1st amendment to a high-tensile strength test. They stretch, twist and use the protection of the 1st amendment. \u00a0All in the name of ratings, views, shares and comments.<\/p>\n
Tonight, I sat and watched Todd Kennedy and Tommy Milligan do their show-rite book face live video. \u00a0It was really good! \u00a0No promotions\u2026just honest answers about marketing goats. \u00a0Way Good!! \u00a0Yes it was sponsored by Show Rite but they weren’t pushing products. \u00a0They were answering questions and keeping it real. Thanks dudes!<\/p>\n
I am extremely proud to read the current writings of Chancey Hanson. \u00a0If you aren’t following her on book face, well\u2026you need to be. \u00a0Check out redgatecattleco.com. \u00a0She grew up in the industry, works for the Oklahoma Cattleman’s Association, is raising a family in the industry and well, she gets it. \u00a0All of it. \u00a0Today, in her writings, she ties building fence to the current meat demand\/shortage, whatever. \u00a0Well, well written.<\/p>\n
Wait, what? \u00a0This chick is a cattle producer, working for the OCA and writing about the beef market\u2026true? \u00a0How does this tie to a goat page. \u00a0One, it all ties together. \u00a0Two, she is a former student of mine. \u00a0And THREE\u2026.her sister is Dana Church. \u00a0Yeah, like those Church kids that have shown a pile of bad ass doe kids over the years. \u00a0Like the Church kids that won the 1st EVER doe fitting contest at OYE. \u00a0Way good family!<\/p>\n
We do a fair amount of business with Gary at the Gage Locker. \u00a0This is a small packing plant. \u00a0One person–Gary and he is the owner\/manager\/butcher\/custodian\/accountant\/office manager–whatever. \u00a0Dad takes several head of butcher calves to the Gage Locker each year. \u00a0I take calves, a goat, an occasional lamb and a pig when it fits into the schedule. \u00a0He does a great job butchering, cutting and wrapping. \u00a0He doesn’t have a big enough space to let a beef hang for several weeks. \u00a0But, he hangs them as long as he can for us. \u00a0Personally, I love the white butcher paper wrapped steaks. \u00a0I’m not anti-vac pack. \u00a0But there is something cool about unrolling a pack of ribeye steaks from a steer from JQ Kelln and seeing the vibrant red color, meat texture and the marbling popping against the background of that white butcher paper. \u00a0Hell, this makes me want to cook a steak right now.<\/p>\n
Local butcher shops are booked well into the end of the year. \u00a0I love this. \u00a0The covid caused it and I hope that this is a trend that stays around. \u00a0I’m \u00a0not against a store-bought steak. \u00a0But, we ALL love a fresh steak from a locally sourced producer. \u00a0There is something to be said about eating meat\/veggies\/eggs when you know where they originated. \u00a0This is one thing from the rona that needs to continue. \u00a0Fresh meat, fresh veggies and more knowledge of where your food source originated.<\/p>\n
Have a good one and a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n
