In case you haven’t found out already, the new Facebook timeline is a gem for stalking. It pretty much cuts your time in half, if not more. Since my blog post for today turned into more of a 1,000+ word essay, I had to come up with something different. I decided to flip back a year in life and see what was going on. I was on the ranch in South Arkansas, feeding cattle, and preparing for some snow that would be headed our way just when calving season was to begin. I am so thankful for my experiences with different farms, ranches, and operations within the cattle community. Spanning 7 states and several operations, each one offers up a new perspective on the work I’ve known my entire life. It truly has been awesome to work with so many people willing to help me learn something new every day at work. In reality though, you’ll never work a day in your life if you do what you truly love.

These photos are from a post last year describing my passion of ranch life.

And this photo is of cottonseed hulls, which I forwarded on to my friend and cotton enthusiast @JPlovesCotton.
