One of my favorite events of the year is coming up and I can’t wait to see friends and co-workers from across the country as we all converge in Nashville for some great BBQ and live music. Of course, there will be some great educational meetings and speakers there as well. The 2017 Cattle Industry […]
When family members requested my Christmas Wish List this past month, I had a very difficult time coming up with items. I’ve spent much of 2016 decluttering – scanning and shredding old paperwork, cleaning out the closets and donating unused items, and reducing the general amount of clutter around me. I also dedicated much of […]
Earlier this year, I checked three more off the list thanks to a long weekend over the Labor Day holiday and a few travel points burning a hole in my pocket. In a previous column, I touched on the role Open Lands have for Western ranchers, but they make for great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors […]
Even though I grew up in Eastern Arkansas, I had never made a trip to New Orleans, or even Louisiana for that matter. This month that changed with an opportunity to visit the Big Easy for the AgVocacy Forum hosted by Bayer. The city is big, loud and has an active nightlife with unique personality…. […]
There are certainly worse ways to spend a week on the road. After all, I love new travel adventures Last week, I packed the bags for 6 days of travel, meetings and wrapped up with hosting a golf tournament at Big Sky Resort. The event was a fundraiser for the Stockgrowers Foundation and included a […]
In my last blog post, I started a conversation about this month’s trip to San Antonio, but got side tracked with other issues surrounding life now and clouding my vision. So today, we look at the fun about the travel. Despite having lived in the Lone Star state, I had never made the trip to […]
I’m an aspiring runner. There was one day in high school where I ran a mile in 6:30 and that’s likely as fast as I’ll ever be. I don’t run marathons, and a 10k is a comfortable distance for me right now. In all reality, I hate running and push myself out of bed each […]
Last week, I had a great opportunity to make my first trip overseas and (with the exception of occasional wi-fi) unplug from the world of communication and social media. I took an entire week of vacation (completely new concept to me) for a trip to France to attend the 2014 Alltech Global Beef and Dairy […]
Because my life is a never-ending playlist… Now I’m on a greyhound bus, rolling hard and fast I’m lookin at the world through the bottom of my glass Said it’s a good thing I got this photographic mind ‘Cause I’m just your ramblin kind Bleh, in the last 4 weeks, I’ve managed to leave the […]
The trusty boot/duffle bag that follows me everywhere! Taking off for a week long trip to Colorado Springs in the morning. An 8:00 flight out of Little Rock, an hour-long stop in Phoenix, a two-hour shuttle ride from Denver to Colorado Springs, a 30 minute drive, and I should find myself on a ranch in […]
