Plus, we are watching all-time dominance from Oklahoma softball

Happy Monday Corn Nation. I hop you are enjoying your summer so far. Here on the ranch, we are watching all the new calves growing and gaining confidence day by day. They run everywhere, making their concerned mothers interrupt grazing in order to chase down their wayward children.

Watching calves play is my favorite part of ranch life.
