Trackchair For Justin


 
     This post is a little different from what I normally write about but I feel compelled to share the story of Justin Matthews and what his family is trying to purchase for him. Justin is the son of a dear high school friend and neighbor, he has been confined to a wheelchair his entire life due to a severe form of spina bifida. He has always enjoyed living on a farm, being outdoors, and hunting and fishing. I'm sharing the family's GoFundMe page they have established to raise funds to purchase an Action Trackchair for Justin which will allow him to move about outdoors easier and give him the freedom to go many places his wheelchair cannot.

     Please take the time to read Justin's story and give anything that you can. This is a family I have known most of my life with a true wish that can add to Justin's quality of life. Thanks for taking the time to read!

North American International Livestock Exposition - Louisville, KY

     If you are a livestock producer you probably know about the North American International Livestock Exposition which begins this week in Louisville, KY at the Kentucky Exposition Center. According to the NAILE website http://www.livestockexpo.org/ this is the largest purebred livestock show in the world with over 30,000 entries from 48 states. This show offers everything from Quarter Horses and draft horses, to multiple breeds of beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, goats, and sheep, and even llama and alpaca. It is a great place to find breeding stock for your own operation, meet other producers, attend meetings with breed associations and junior breed associations, talk with agriculture industry representatives, attend the rodeo, and shop for everything from clothes to livestock equipment. The information available is endless and so are the many opportunities for young and old.
     Can you tell that I really like the North American? (As we commonly call it) Louisville is like a huge family reunion for us as we get to see so many friends from across the country that attend this show each year. The time spent visiting at stalls and looking at the livestock is most memorable, and it's always special to get to lead an animal onto the green shavings in Freedom Hall.
