The meat packers don't have jack shite to do with the herd size. I agree the packers issue needs to be fixed but that is a completely separate issue from the herd size.

I currently have a Samsonite, only complaint with it is the smallish size, limited space.

I see you haven't been to Sugar land or Katy.

If you aren't already in that line of work I would recommend trying to find someone who already is with a good track record and networking base.

A little bit of a personal rant and a story for all those who are scared to make the jump.

For years I begged dad to branch out and start his own thing. I was going to quit my job and go work with him, offered to take all the financial liability. He had experience running a company and has an insane networking base along with most of the market in his industry cornered and has for over a decade. I knew it would be successful, if there is a ideal candidate to start your own thing he is it. I would come up with different business plans, scenarios, etc and he would never jump. In his defense he has PTSD from seeing/handling the demise of a large family business when he was younger that was no fault of his own.

Anyway, he reaches retirement age and retires from the company he worked for over 20yrs and teams up to "consult/sale" with a small family business he had worked with for a long time.

End of this year makes year number 4. When my dad started with him the company was averaging $2-3M in revenue a year. The later half of this year has been slow and they will close with around $20M in Rev, they did $25M last year.

He has no ownership, straight 1099 with a split on all work he brings in. Owner is looking to sell. He has made good money with the deal, 2x3 of his old job. The owner will retire and set his family up.

Beef demand is still very high. You don't like the price buy white meat. Drought and high input cost is how we got here and inky time is going to fix the supply side. However demand staying high will keep supply lower for longer.

What am I missing? Been on a tear all week.

You want a small investor to go in with you? I am probably good for a quarter share. Will brush all the blinds, put out decoys, all of it! :lol:

End up getting a limit, caught probably 40+ fish total.

I haven't kept up with this so trying to understand LK leaving when OM is playing so well.

Can OM not match or beat our offer? Not as much NIL money?

Or is $ not an issue and simply thinks LSU is the better shot to win a title with?

English please, wyat does this mean?
