SPRING 2022
STATE OF THE COUNTRY— The Russians have invaded a fiercely resistant Ukraine. NATO countries seem united but they are conflicted by Russian oil dependence. The Chinese are monitoring the situation. The US is in the early stages of a recession unless it realizes the. key will be energy independence to replace Russia as an energy source to Europe. Despite the fact that our oil/gas production is much cleaner than the Russians, the current administration has failed to recognize it and has tried to squeeze a 100 year goal of clean energy into 5 years. Uninformed, uneducated and too tied to special interests. The other major issues are inflation, crime and border security. No policy change is currently in sight. Govs. Abbott and DeSantis are bussing immigrants to Delaware and Washington so they can share the experience of increased crime, drug abuse and poverty.. Touche’.
STATE OF THE HERD—-We are continuing our program of changing herd sire genetics every 2 years to maintain heterogeneity. We have sold TKR Royal T, Texas Tuff GLR and Gold Maxim GLR— bulls with a heavy emphasis on Cowboy Tuff Chex and Cowboy Catchit Chex genetics. We are Ai’ing 25 heifers to BR Cracker Jack and HL Higher Ground in May and have purchased 1/2 interest in PCC Cactus Jack ( Dalgood -97” TTT) from Scott and Tytan Pace. We have 12 embryo heifers due in July/August 2022 so it should be an exciting time. We are looking for a 2nd herd sire in the interim.
