Lynda and I have officially entered the “running to grandkids ball game” era. It is fun and exciting to watch them play and reminds us both of when Steve was in sports and Michelle cheerleading. Lynda is retired, yet continues to volunteer helping seniors understand Medicare and health insurance through the Senior Health Insurance Information Program. With all of the current excitement in the cattle business it has certainly increased the level of interest in our cattle business. I really enjoy all of the genetic and management discussions! Michelle and Todd seem to stay busy with work and running kids around— gymnastics, baseball, football and now basketball. Todd is coaching basketball and you can tell he loves spending time with the boys doing something they all like. Michelle continues with her vet practice and Todd with Acrisure insurance. It appears to be a good fit for both of them. Eli continues to love sports and is extremely good at all of them. He is very quiet, very caring and a great older brother. He and Paisley learned to run the side-by-side this year. I’m sure that thing circled the cattle lots 1000 times this summer. Like grandpa, I can envision horses in his future. He is old enough to run his mare a bit and he loves that. W elcome to our Sale of Value Based Genetics!!

Noah amazes me with the knowledge he comes up with. He is constantly studying history or world events, and is not afraid to correct grandpa when he’s wrong. He found his voice this year and certainly likes to practice it a lot! Our bottle calf show together was one of the summer highlights. Eve, aka “scooter” according to grandpa, almost likes being held upside down more than being right side up. She’s still loving “nastics” and always lets you know exactly where she stands on everything. I’m quite sure there will be more than a few sleepless nights while she is growing up with her imagination and smarts. Steve and Bri love living in Prior Lake and very much enjoy the amenities and all of their friends. They also have hit the sports era with Paisley and Porter. They spent a lot of time fishing and hunting together and all seem to love the out of doors. Steve continues as property lead for Target and Bri is a director with Be the Match, the national marrow donor program. Paisley really enjoyed softball this year and was the home run hitter for the team. She learned to run barrels and poles with her mare, Lena, this summer and enjoyed it almost as much as grandpa. She is a sweetheart and loves to sing me songs and laughs at all of the really dumb things I come up with. Porter is really into farming. I glanced at a video he was watching and thought I saw a sprayer so I asked. He told me they were side dressing 20 units of nitrogen on the corn. Pretty amazing for a 5 year old. He enjoys tractor rides and especially feeding round bales, but realistically, anything related to farming or hunting.
