As I’ve said before, I feed a family of big breakfast eaters! Some mornings, serving breakfast around here resembles opening a barn darn and the animals fleeing the barn to run to their grain troughs.

Christmas on the Jones Ranch was uneventful and perfect. We have too many cows relying on simple life sustaining measures like having their ice chopped to drink and being fed that keeps us home, even on holidays.

Twas the Friday before Christmas and all through the ranch not a creature was stirring because they are all frozen!

There are a lot of things I could talk about today. Like what made into policy in 2022, what didn’t make it into law. Where we made some headway in the industry and where we lost ground. But, honestly, on a day like today, at the end of a week like we have all had, that doesn’t need to be our focus.

When I was a ten- or twelve-year-old boy, my mom, dad and 2 sisters would join my mother’s sister and her family. We exchanged gifts and had a delicious dinner. My father opened the event by thanking God that we could all be together on the farm after a safe harvest.

I was going to continue on with more thoughts that run through a rancher’s head on days like today but honestly it is exhausting.

For those of you who are not livestock owners, I wanted to give you a look into what we are thinking on days like today!

If I’m being honest, I think that most of us involved in raising livestock really do not have our eye on any big holiday event coming up. We are literally in a fight mode expending every ounce of energy and every minute of daylight to take care of livestock right now.

I know, we are now under one week until Christmas. Blood pressure is rising across the land. The weather is not exactly cooperating. A perfect holiday experience hangs in the balance....or does it.

In light of the winter storm that has blown in and blanketed much of the Midwest, I think we better have a friendly chat.

It was me, I said I would take the fall for it. Last Friday on the Hot Barn Report radio program I told Santa that all I wanted for Christmas was moisture. Well, now we know that Mother Nature had her radio dial on the HBR and viola, she delivered a winter storm wall-up to the Midwest. See folks, that is the power of radio!

I am an out of the box thinker when it comes to gifts. I only give gifts that truly speak to me. I put a lot of thought and intention into what I am giving. It is probably why I am horrible at shopping at big box stores. I just cannot “connect” to the aisles and aisles of objects in there if you know what I mean.
