I feel the need to spread a little bit of sunshine on the
blog today because that’s exactly what the weather has been like for
us all week! Finally, a little sunshine and dry weather to bring some
optimism to the farmers and ranchers as they harvest crops and wean
calves. This afternoon, I’m planning to head out to the ranch to start
working on a few bulls for upcoming consignment sales, and I’m really
excited that the weather is going to cooperate, too In the meantime, I
have a new interview with an outstanding individual in the beef cattle
industry that I hope you will enjoy.

Drip . . . drip . . . drip: the fall of dropping water
wears away the stone. So it goes with shaping public attitude and
policy. If you repeat something often enough it must be true (not!),
thus politicians are always coached to stay "on message". The constant
drumbeat creates foundation for impact. It often appears that some
significant precipitous event or incident leads to change. In reality,
transformation is more the result of doggedly sustaining a message over
time and wearing down your opponent.

As of Oct. 5, 2009, El Nino was still present across the
equatorial Pacific Ocean with sea surface temperatures at least 1° C
above average and expected to strengthen, lasting through the winter.
This increases our probability of having a cool, wet winter. Winter El
Nino episodes feature a strong jet stream and storm track across the
southern part of the United States as depicted in the figure.
