OYE WEEK
Boy, have we been busy! OYE kicks off this week, and it’s hard to believe it’s already here. It’s been a busy spring, and things aren’t slowing down anytime soon.
Monday Motivation
“Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.” — Henry David Thoreau
This time of year is busy for everyone in the livestock industry. Miles on the road, early mornings, late nights, and plenty of work in between. Keep your head down, keep working, and good things will come from it.

It’s been a hectic month with miles and miles on the road. There have been a lot of sales and shows happening this time of year, and it feels like we’ve been going nonstop. Now it’s time to roll into OYE week, and we’re ready for the big show!
Back home the weather has been about as good as it gets. We were lucky enough to catch some rain, and now the sun is shining. It’s hard to beat this time of year when everything starts greening up and spring is right around the corner.
Looking forward to a great week ahead—see you at the show!

2026 World Baseball Classic
The 2026 World Baseball Classic has already delivered a strong start as international baseball takes center stage across multiple host cities, including Tokyo, Miami, Houston, and San Juan. With 20 nations competing in pool play, the early games have showcased the growing global depth of the sport. Defending champion Japan has once again looked dominant, continuing the momentum from its 2023 title run, while traditional powers like the United States and Mexico are battling for control of their pool in what has quickly become one of the most competitive groups in the tournament. Several games have already produced dramatic finishes, including late-inning rallies and walk-off hits, highlighting how evenly matched many of the participating countries have become. As pool play continues and the field begins to narrow, the early stages of the 2026 Classic suggest another thrilling chapter for international baseball, with the knockout rounds expected to feature some of the sport’s biggest stars competing for a world championship.

Headed to Oklahoma City today to get the booth set up. Hard to believe it’s already OYE week—time is flying by in 2026.
Excited to see everyone this week at the Oklahoma Youth Expo. There’s a lot to get done to make sure everything is ready for the livestream and everything else we have going on.
With that being said, we’re also releasing something this week that I think is next level. It’s something we’ve been working on for about two months now, and it’s finally coming together and ready to roll out. Stay tuned!
