“Pay attention to what it is you are looking at” is a line I’ve been pounding into my daughter’s head since she was 4 years old. Last week she showed me she learned the lesson. Not everyone has learned this. There is a group trying to create some hype about prices paid for cattle in Nebraska this week. We have been mentally conditioned by predecessors to be obsessed with market topping cattle.

VECTORBOMB-THINKSTOCKPHOTOSThere were a couple days this week I received more messages than I ever have. A message every three minutes for a few hours is a bit overwhelming. There was a wide range of topics on people’s minds. For a while now I have been getting a kick out of the expression on people’s faces when they get their check after selling cattle.
