Heads up @NECattlemen and @SDCattlemen, there is sneaky potential for some heavy wet snow in the far west/northwest Nebraska Panhandle and west/southwest South Dakota on Monday. Ground temperatures are warm and actual temperatures aren't terribly cold, but don't be surprised by it.

Doing feedlot member visits the next 1.5 days for @NECattlemen. Great to see these boys in Chappell. They sold through @SuperiorAuction country page- like the new owner said he could put a 2 x 4 across them❤️❤️. I informed him the sorter was off, as she was 4 pounds light on projections.🤣. He agreed she could do better.🙌
