I took the four-wheeler out to the pastures this past weekend and smiled as I saw a whirlwind of baby calves race across the grassy hilltops. As the sun started to slowly descend and cast a rainbow of colors across the dusk sky, I thought about how these new baby calves were the symbolism of new beginnings in agriculture. With spring comes the promise that the upcoming year will be filled with true success and happiness.
Although ranchers face many obstacles and overcome even more trials to maintain a cattle operation; each year, cattlemen start over with a fresh optimism and a renewed passion for what they are doing. I realized that even though we face challenges in agriculture, the reward of raising quality livestock and serving the land is the best journey in life. As spring fades to summer, I would like to remind everyone to breathe in the fresh air of nature and be proud that we can enjoy the best career anyone could ask for--continuing the great American tradition of providing wholesome and healthy food for the world.
