show. Instead of focusing on the hundreds of things that
went right during the week I dwell on the 10 things that
went wrong. Why do we do this to ourselves? Instead
of being thankful for the sunny days we complain about
the rainy day. We use our bad days to ruin our good
ones. I think we as a dairy community can work on this.
I find myself jumping to the negatives instead starting
with the positives. I’m not saying to not learn from our
mistakes and missteps but why do we stay there and
dwell on them instead of celebrating our successes even
more?
    After a long winter the sunshine and warmer weather
can make any day a good day. We are anxiously waiting
to get out into the fields this spring, in western New
York it’s still a little too wet to do anything. As we are
making plans for the spring the phrase “it’ll depend on
the weather” starts getting used more and more at my
house. I am looking forward to a few more exciting
sales in the month of May! I’ve said it before and I’ll say
it again, there is really no better time to invest in great
Holstein cow families that are being made available.
Finding a show calf for the year, buying into a famous
cow family, purchasing a young cow prospect, no matter
what your goal is there are endless opportunities these
next couple of weeks. Don’t think that a sale won’t
have anything for you, those that are patient usually end
up with a great one for less!
    Juniors, please remember to have all your junior
ownership and junior lease paperwork done BEFORE
