At the beginning of 2024, I set out to accomplish some pretty ambitious plans.. and for the most part, we were successful. But, the biggest winner of this year was Mazikeen, who finished in the Owner Handled Top 10, took several OH Group placements, and achieved way more than I set out to do…
Our cattle herding goals were kind of waylaid when the farm we usually trial at sold their cattle because of the record high beef prices in the spring.
