Last Wednesday, we moved in to the Ohio Beef Expo. There were many moments that we wondered if the show would go on...but it did. And it was a great success!  The Covid plan modified the schedule from past years, but we are actually really big fans of the new format.
See...sometimes good things come from adversity. We moved in on Wednesday (a day earlier than usual), but it was a really relaxed day...and it was gorgeous weather.

It's been two years since we have been at the Ohio Beef Expo and we can't wait to be back on the grounds to show our cattle. We have just passed the one year mark since Ohio was shut down for COVID-19. A year ago, we were grappling with the frustration and disappointment of having one of our favorite shows cancelled the week before the event. Since that time, cancellations and waiting for cancellations have become a way of life.  The future is looking brighter and the Ohio Cattlemen's Association is working hard to make the Ohio Beef Expo as normal as possible.
Which means... We get to show this week! I have been thinking a lot about all the attention cows have been getting in the media lately. Unfortunately, it hasn't been much positive attention. From cow farts causing global warming to printing 3-D steaks, it feels like cows and those that raise cows are getting a lot of negative attention. It is also painfully obvious that what is front and center in the news is not always the most accurate information. There is always more to the story.  I think that one of the big issues is people don't know where to get the other side of the story. From overhearing some of my kids remote learning classes this year, I am all too aware that the top Google search is the information that is presented and believed by many.
As someone who raises cattle, I am obviously slanted toward the side that cows are good for the environment and our health. It is also my responsibility to help others understand the other side of the story. |
