Rory Back To Back
Back at it this week. Another busy one ahead as we start looking toward the fall schedule—hard to believe it’s already April.
Monday Motivation
“I’ve always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn’t have a chance to win.” — Tiger Woods
There’s something powerful about that mindset. Not just believing when things are going your way—but believing when they’re not. When you’re behind, when you’re tired, when it feels like everything is stacked against you.
The difference in people who win—whether it’s in golf, business, or life—isn’t that they never face tough situations. It’s that they never count themselves out.
This week, no matter what you’ve got in front of you, show up with that same mentality. Give a full effort. Stay in the fight. Keep pushing forward.
Because the moment you decide you still have a shot… is the moment things can change.
Have a great Monday.

It’s shaping up to be a great week here in Oklahoma. We were glad to catch a little rain in Alva—even if it wasn’t much, we’ll take it.
Looking forward to hitting the road this weekend for The Exclusive and keeping things rolling. Busy times, but that’s the way we like it.

Play-In week
The NBA Play-In Tournament tips off this week, and it’s quickly become one of the most exciting stretches on the basketball calendar. Instead of teams coasting into the playoffs, seeds 7 through 10 in each conference are thrown into a high-pressure, win-or-go-home format where every possession matters. Matchups like the Golden State Warriors vs the Los Angeles Clippers bring star power and urgency, while games like the Philadelphia 76ers vs the Orlando Magic showcase the clash between experience and youth. The beauty of the Play-In is its unpredictability—one bad night can end a season, and one big performance can flip everything. It’s not just about getting into the playoffs anymore; it’s about surviving to get there, and the teams that make it through this week will already be battle-tested before the real postseason even begins.
Between the Sales
Written by ~ Blake Kennedy
What a weekend of golf. From Thursday through the final putt on 18, it was an incredible tournament. Rory McIlroy goes on to join Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as one of the few to ever win The Masters Tournament back-to-back. Hope you had a chance to tune in and enjoy it.
Now it’s time to get back to work. Big week on the road ahead—lots of miles to cover and several pigs to get traded. We’re just a couple weeks away from wrapping up sale season.
In between the travel, we’re starting to work on The Exchange Livestock Event. If you’ve got something in mind to consign or an idea you think would fit, reach out. I’ll be on the road all week and would be glad to talk through it.
Have a great week—and make someone smile.
