:donut: and lurkers. Well speaking of BFEE and fodder units-Pickles will be in H-town for a fodder unit photo op at a school here. It is the birthday of that subversive soul, better known as Dr. Seuss-no pet goats here.

And speaking of pet goats and the transfer of wealth (great segway if I do say so myself) the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has it's first full weekend. All but 2 (out of 252) Texas county FFAs participate. This weekend they start the Jr. cattle judging. They give away over 5 million-yes million in scholarships for kids across the state. The brass ring is the Grand Champion Steer Auction-but the other Grand Champion auctions fetch the kids plenty of scholarships. I guess it really is our equivalent of a beauty pageant. I will be going out there this weekend I hope, I love to watch the kids-they get so excited, esp. at the auctions. These are the good kids that work hard before and after school, go to school, participate in activities, and will one day be good workers and leaders in all fields. It's nice to see the good kids win every now and again.


Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.
