Latest / CattleUSA Daily / 258: Volatility, Heifer Retention, and a Nervous Cattle Market with Dan and Samantha
Transcript
- 0:00Welcome back to another episode of the Cattle USA Daily podcast.
- 0:03Today we are bringing on Dan Gearholt and Samantha Koza,
- 0:06right, to cover our commodities markets and what we are seeing
- 0:10on the board. They also bring it back to what
- 0:11we're currently kind of seeing and some of our live cattle
- 0:14markets as well. They are discussing everything
- 0:17that is playing into these factors today.
- 0:19We even touch on heifer retention a little bit and some
- 0:22rumors that we've been hearing with that.
- 0:23Some of our thoughts are candid opinions on just the volatility
- 0:27that we are seeing in this market right now and how all
- 0:30quickly the drop of the ball can come with this market and with
- 0:34these highs and these lows that we are currently seeing and have
- 0:37seen over the past 30 days as we have been into this New year.

- 0:57Welcome to the Cattle USA Daily podcast, your go to source for
- 1:00the latest livestock markets, industry insights and the
- 1:03updates shaping agriculture today.
- 1:05I'm your host, Lauren Moylan, a passionate advocate for
- 1:08agriculture here to keep you informed and connected.
- 1:11Now let's dive into today's episode.
- 1:20Dan, Samantha, welcome back. I hear, I feel, I have a feeling
- 1:24today's episode is going to be a little pot stirring or Dan just
- 1:29has something special in store for us.
- 1:30I, I know it and Samantha and I are just going to get to sit
- 1:32back and enjoy the enjoy the show.
- 1:34But how are you guys? No, you guys just want to stir
- 1:39the pot and get me all wound up. I mean, I did mention you on my
- 1:45podcast earlier with John that will come out the day after this
- 1:48episode for all of our audience members.
- 1:51And I, I said that Dan probably just wants the government to
- 1:54shut back down again because of the report that came out this
- 1:56last week. But you know, they, they voted
- 1:58to open it back up. So here we are.
- 2:00It was closed for a whole whopping 12 hours.
- 2:03Yep, Yep. I don't even think most people
- 2:05knew it was closed. So all good now.
- 2:09Shoot, just just another day in the markets.
- 2:12Volatile as heck. It is, it is Samantha.
- 2:16How are how are you doing? You guys holding up?
- 2:19Yeah, doing good this, I mean, today in the markets kind of
- 2:24came out of left field, wasn't expecting this.
- 2:26Yesterday I was bullish and today he'd throw some bears in
- 2:28the market. So.
- 2:30Wild got a lava headlines and some different things going on
- 2:36out there. John does say that you know, it
- 2:39may be tanking right now, but come back come Monday.
- 2:42He's he's got some got some words on his opinions on how
- 2:46it's going to go because of Super Bowl Sunday.
- 2:48But I'd love to hear your guys's thoughts and your opinions on
- 2:51what the hell is going on with the market right now and what
- 2:55are your thoughts on it? It's the good old cattle con
- 2:58crash. Just, I mean, come on, pull up
- 3:04the charts. That's what they're forced to
- 3:06look back in history. And I mean, anytime they have an
- 3:09NCBA convention, not every time, but sometimes the market likes
- 3:16to have a rough go that week. So Yep, Yep, just having having
- 3:22fun wrecking our markets down there I guess.
- 3:24Lauren asked me the other day if we were going to send someone to
- 3:27Cattlecon next year. I'm going to take that as a hard
- 3:30no. I would like it to be known that
- 3:34we are probably all going to be put on a no entry list.
- 3:37So Dan is going to get me kicked out.
- 3:40Dan's not even here this year and he's going to get me kicked
- 3:42out. Winning.
- 3:44Winning. Luckily, this episode is
- 3:47probably going to go up too late in the day.
- 3:48Today's the last day. It's going to go up too late in
- 3:50the day for them to know, but they will know for next year
- 3:53that my little my little name tag is going to be flagged.
- 3:57Hey, no biggie. It's just a.
- 3:59It's just a, I guess, laughing point more than anything.
- 4:03If there's there's one on the Iowa Port Congress, too.
- 4:06I think when the port Congress ends, you're supposed to sell
- 4:08hogs or or something like that, you know, call it a seasonal
- 4:11whatever, but yeah, it's just kind of funny.
- 4:14All the markets always take a bath the week that the NCBA gets
- 4:17together and rub shoulders. No call, man.
- 4:25No, said. Are we calling it quits there
- 4:27for the day or? Calling it quits there had some
- 4:30good news to the makes. You know, let's let's start with
- 4:32the good one with the pad Monday there was big gains on the
- 4:36future sports, so that was good. I had a pretty bullish cattle
- 4:40inventory report, gave cash an extra boost.
- 4:42So that carried us through the first part of the week anyway,
- 4:46you know, phenomenal prices all around, even despite some winter
- 4:49storms spotted throughout the country.
- 4:51Everyone being pretty aggressively, just knowing that
- 4:54receipts are probably going to start.
- 4:55We're tanking off more in the future as we get into tighter
- 4:57supplies. So great demand throughout all
- 5:00weight classes, though heavyweight feeders especially
- 5:02do that $5 jump on fats last week.
- 5:06Lot of risk associated with these prices.
- 5:08So it's always good to see the producer get the extra pump
- 5:11where they need it, whether it be the cow calf guy or the feed
- 5:13lot guy. But yeah, unfortunately today I
- 5:16wanted to come on with all bullish news, but futures took a
- 5:19pretty big hit. So that is affected buying quite
- 5:23a bit in the sale barns from the sales I've caught today anyway,
- 5:25people are a little more hesitant to be the first to
- 5:27throw their hands in the air, a lot less people in the stands
- 5:31haven't really seen any confirmed cash fats, straight
- 5:34hands yet this week out of five area.
- 5:36Again, unfortunately with futures dropping off, we
- 5:39probably don't see the Packer offer any significantly higher
- 5:42bids by any means. So that's the feed a lot guy in
- 5:45a crappy position when they're holding out for these higher
- 5:47bids like this week. And here comes the crash.
- 5:50So some whispers of 238 bids, nothing confirms water's been
- 5:54trickling back. We also seen some high volume
- 5:57trade between, you know, the feed lot and the pack of the
- 6:00last two weeks. And it's been bought on two to
- 6:02four week delivery. So before today's news, I
- 6:05probably would have told you that getting cattle backed up
- 6:07wasn't maybe a huge concern with that delivery time frame.
- 6:11But now there's a strike at the JVS plant in Greeley, Co, and
- 6:15that's the largest fed beef plant in the US.
- 6:17So that's hugely influential to the beef supply chain.
- 6:23You factor that in with these dairy cows and the beef on dairy
- 6:25calves hit the market too, and then suddenly you've got
- 6:28everyone fighting for that same slaughter space and yard space.
- 6:31So I mean, that Catalan inventory report had dairy cows
- 6:35up to 220,000 head from last January.
- 6:38So you got coal cows hit in the chain.
- 6:41Beef on dairy cows are hitting the market at roughly $1500 a
- 6:44head. The domestic dairy herds
- 6:46expanding at insane rates. I mean from a technical
- 6:49standpoint, the dairy herd has reached its highest level since
- 6:52the 90s and expanded at the quickest rate since the 50s.
- 6:56So you figure that plus dairy cow kill for the 1st 2 full
- 7:00weeks of this year pegged at 60,000 head per week.
- 7:03And historically 2 things in specific typically aren't good
- 7:06for the cattle market and that's government intervention and
- 7:09dairy cattle flooding the market.
- 7:11So now you've got to strike out a major beef plant to add to it,
- 7:15and that just adds fuel to the fire.
- 7:20Spot on. It's pretty easy to get get
- 7:22bullish at the top and there were plenty of reasons to be
- 7:25bullish. But it's amazing sometimes how
- 7:27these charts will or the markets will tell us something is coming
- 7:31or they will tank before it happens.
- 7:34I mean, you look at yesterday's action on the board like March
- 7:38feeder cattle rallied into that highest gap that we left back in
- 7:42in October that we thought was unachievable.
- 7:44Again, we rallied into it but did not finish filling it.
- 7:47And then all the sudden we get rejected, pull back, look at
- 7:51today, you know, bloodbath. It'll be interesting.
- 7:55We did gap lower in fat cattle today.
- 7:57So we have that highest gap above us from October in fats,
- 8:00and now we have a gap above us from today.
- 8:02So how we perform over the next three days, three weeks, you
- 8:06know, so on and so forth, is it's going to decide if we're
- 8:10going to go finish filling gaps or where we go from here.
- 8:12I hope John is right and some big news coming Monday, whatever
- 8:15that is. But yeah, now we need something
- 8:19fundamental to step in here because you spooked, spooked a
- 8:21few traders. It also didn't help Equities are
- 8:23down today. He took out the low from a
- 8:27couple weeks ago, got everybody on edge over that, gave a nice
- 8:31little push in the grain markets, you know, on China's
- 8:34news. But you know, is that going to
- 8:36be a buy the rumor, sell the fact type deal on that stuff
- 8:39like it used to always be with working with China and and Trump
- 8:44together. So that'll be interesting.
- 8:47Probably going to start looking at making some new crop sales,
- 8:50you know, the corn and bean market as we go through this
- 8:53week, if we can get that market to push touch higher.
- 8:58Full disclosure, I think did we talk about it, Lauren, last week
- 9:01that I was going to try buying some cattle this week.
- 9:06I bought, I bought some yesterday.
- 9:08It's not a no big surprise, not not a special deal.
- 9:11I bought cattle, but seems like every time I buy cattle, the
- 9:13market tanks 5 or 6 bucks. So I'll try and send a bulletin
- 9:18out next time I get aggressive and just go, you know, Willy
- 9:21nilly buying all the high figures.
- 9:23So yeah, quality's out there though.
- 9:27I this is my favorite time of year to buy Yearlinks.
- 9:30You know, you get a lot of this, this old calf, 2020 fives calf
- 9:34crop that are finally reaching that yearling age.
- 9:36It gets pretty fun. So yeah, it's the deferred
- 9:41contracts are not giving us much of an option or much of an
- 9:44opportunity I should say to hedge off these cattle where
- 9:47where we're buying them at. I'm in 2:30 in the August board
- 9:51with a 378 weight steer and those numbers don't pencil.
- 9:56I'm in. That's, that's pretty extreme.
- 9:59I remember back in the day when the old feeder, fat feeder
- 10:03cattle, the fat cattle spread on the board used to be 30 to 40,
- 10:06maybe 60 bucks. Now we're screaming more than
- 10:09$100 higher in that spread. It's pretty wild time.
- 10:13So a lot of bullish sentiment out there in the country when
- 10:16you sit, sit down and watch sales at the barn.
- 10:19So, and rightfully so, there was definitely reasons to be
- 10:24optimistic. We do need to be paying
- 10:26attention here because a rally, a rally back this far to come up
- 10:31short of filling that gap, to come up short of touching the
- 10:34old high, that's very concerning if we're just looking at the
- 10:38technicals, you know, what are your speculators thinking?
- 10:41They're a little bit nervous now.
- 10:43So we'll see if the fundamentals can can outweigh all that and
- 10:47push yourself into new highs the next week or two.
- 10:52Yeah, We're definitely dealing with a very volatile market
- 10:54right now. Samantha, you said it perfectly.
- 10:56There's a lot of things going into factors in the market right
- 11:00now and what is factoring into the highs and the lows and
- 11:04everything else in between has been all over the board
- 11:07recently. And I think that there is a lot
- 11:09of different things and that JBS plant is a concern.
- 11:14It is a big concern. If they do end up actually
- 11:17activating on that strike, they voted on it and so it is in the
- 11:22works. They haven't set a strike date
- 11:24yet. But I think that it is
- 11:26definitely something that we need to keep our eye on because
- 11:28as we've said before, the industry headlines and the
- 11:31things that are hitting the news cycles and things like that are
- 11:34really playing a big role in the volatility of this market.
- 11:39And so it's important that we continue to keep our eye on
- 11:41those things and because it will have a trickle down effect into
- 11:45what we are seeing in the cattle market.
- 11:49Yeah, Like I mentioned, sorry, but I just noticed as you
- 11:53mentioned, that's a big driver in this, the volatility.
- 11:58If you look back just in the last 30 days of trading, we've
- 12:01had four or five days of extreme sell offs like this just out of
- 12:06nowhere. That should put everybody on
- 12:09edge because it proves how uneasy this market is up at
- 12:12these levels. So if if it was a good strong
- 12:16stable market at this price, you wouldn't see that much, you
- 12:19know, that happened that often. So a little bit concerning
- 12:22there. Yeah, for sure.
- 12:25I think just watching politicians and keeping an eye
- 12:28on those things happening in the news too, because you never
- 12:31really know what's in a trader's mind.
- 12:33I guess I'm seeing all these different headlines.
- 12:35Maybe not every one of them's talked about, but people are
- 12:38seeing them. You've got Sid Miller and his
- 12:41plan, all this. You got primaries coming up.
- 12:43He's cloud chasing. I saw a on the news the other
- 12:45day with him incentivizing tax credits for heifer retention and
- 12:49talking about lowering beef prices and it's like my God, you
- 12:53guys just keep the government intervention at Bay and then I
- 12:57would be more bullish this cattle market.
- 13:00Someone find a roll of really good duct tape for me, because
- 13:04I've got some thoughts on that. And Mr. Miller needs to stay
- 13:09home and stop talking. That's all I'm going to say.
- 13:12I agree, BS for sure. If you guys aren't watching on
- 13:20YouTube, Dan had a very good reaction to Samantha's comments
- 13:23there and obviously has quite a few opinions that I feel like
- 13:26he's biting his tongue on. Oh, we're, we're popping the
- 13:29knuckles now. All right, buckle up, boys and
- 13:33girls. Yeah, moving on.
- 13:38Yeah, for sure. Well, what else are we seeing in
- 13:43the markets, guys? Anything else that we need to
- 13:44hit on? Any other highs, lows?
- 13:46Dan, you want to touch on grains a little bit?
- 13:48I know not a whole lot has happened in them over the past
- 13:50week. We've seen a little bit of
- 13:52positivity there, but you want to hit on those for us real
- 13:54quick. And then anything else, Samantha
- 13:56or Dan that we need to hit on in the markets or headlines?
- 13:59You know, grains got that lift yesterday, Trump came out.
- 14:01China's talking about up in their their plans on how many
- 14:05soybeans are going to import. Once again, I always come back
- 14:10in, in a little bit skeptical when dealing with China because
- 14:13they like to over promise and under deliver.
- 14:17So we're going to find out in the coming weeks if this is just
- 14:20a little bump, if if they're going to stick with those
- 14:23commitments they're talking about, you know, corn finally
- 14:28got a little lift today on the back of soybeans.
- 14:31We finally got that lift today as well.
- 14:35Other than that, it's kind of in limbo.
- 14:37I still think with our carry outs that that we're holding
- 14:40right now, we should be actively looking at new crop sales out
- 14:43into the future. I'm happy this is happening
- 14:46because it's in our crop insurance pricing period.
- 14:48So it's a good time of the year to have have a nice little
- 14:51seasonal rally manage money is on the back of it.
- 14:54You know, they're they're buying futures right now, buying
- 14:57options. So love to see that that that
- 15:00helps support a market rally lasting longer than and maybe
- 15:05this would have. So another thing I I'm starting
- 15:09to pick up on is, is beef is getting a little bit more
- 15:12reasonable. You know, you start looking at
- 15:14burger at $4.00 a pound in the store, you start looking at
- 15:17steaks pulling back to that 15. You know, we talked about
- 15:20towards the end of last year that the retailers had the ball
- 15:24in their court and they were going to improve their margins
- 15:27and they did. And all of a sudden, our volume
- 15:29that we started moving really slowed down for our volume we
- 15:32were moving. That really pulled back.
- 15:34It was because those high prices, right, $20 steaks, $6
- 15:38burger. Now all of a sudden, we still
- 15:40haven't seen the volume tick up in a big way, but we're at least
- 15:43seeing the prices come down, $4.00 burger, $15 steaks.
- 15:46Yeah, it's not the time of year we're going to move a lot.
- 15:48But at the same time, if we can drop that price now going into
- 15:52that hot grilling season coming up here in a month or two, you
- 15:55know, that's it. This is all optimistic things
- 15:58that that help support a more stable market, maybe maybe take
- 16:03those extreme lows or sell offs out of the equation if we can
- 16:06get that domestic demand ramp back up.
- 16:08So really optimistic about that hog market, You know, been on a
- 16:13tear managed money's been all about it.
- 16:17Haven't really can't really put a lot in the hog cut out the
- 16:20last couple days. Bellies are doing a bunch of
- 16:22funky things. So we'll see probably over the
- 16:25next 5 to 10 days how hogs act. I guess a seasonal hair, you
- 16:30know, you get towards the end of February, 1st of March,
- 16:33typically your proteins pull back in price, pretty standard
- 16:36stuff. So yeah, we'll just see how it
- 16:39all Nets out over the next 5-6 weeks.
- 16:44Samantha, do you have any other closing thoughts or any other
- 16:47topics we need to talk about? Not really.
- 16:50I mean, just looking at that cattle inventory report for a
- 16:53minute, nothing super explosive about it, but just kind of to
- 16:57talk about it here for for just a second.
- 16:59I mean, obviously it was, it's pretty bullish on the market.
- 17:02Cattle and Cavs analysis predictions were a little
- 17:04questionable. I mean that they had beef cows
- 17:07estimates at .4% above last year.
- 17:10That threw everybody for a loop, but it actually helped make that
- 17:13report look more bullish compared to the official numbers
- 17:15that came out being 1% below last year.
- 17:19So same with the calf crop, it was nearly down 1.6%.
- 17:23The official numbers really just gave clarity to most of what all
- 17:26of us were expecting. Looking at those beef
- 17:29replacement efforts, again, I mean, they came in nearly a
- 17:31percent over last year, but they were a percent underestimates.
- 17:34So again, heifer attention is happening, nothing super
- 17:38substantial. I will say there's a lot of
- 17:40bread heifers coming through the sale barns, a lot of heifers
- 17:43coming through that are being marketed and bought as
- 17:45replacements. So if these these guys aren't
- 17:48holding them back, at least somebody is.
- 17:50I mean, heifers as a percentage of the feed yard doesn't yet
- 17:53reflect that. So some mixed signals there.
- 17:56But it's possible we could see a shift in the upcoming catalog
- 17:59feed reports. I mean, but regardless, you got
- 18:01to figure another year and a half before that cap hits the
- 18:04feed yard and another six months on top of that before it's a
- 18:08beef supply chain. So it's not an instant relief by
- 18:12any means. That of itself is pretty
- 18:14bullish. But just looking at that also
- 18:16whether or not producers are actively rebuilding their herd,
- 18:19it really depends on how bad they need the revenue from that
- 18:22cap. I mean, some people just can't
- 18:24afford it or maybe don't have the grass to do it.
- 18:27I think everyone can agree the ranchers always the first to
- 18:30take a hit for whatever is best for the industry.
- 18:33I mean, but some people needed the bump to pay off that update
- 18:36equipment, you know what have you.
- 18:38But also referring back to whether they have the grass to
- 18:40do it for a minute, I mean, let's take a look at land prices
- 18:44over the last 15 to 20 years. Where I'm at in Northwest
- 18:47Kansas, you could buy a quarter of grass for $300.00 an acre. 15
- 18:51years ago now that same piece of grasses were upwards of twelve,
- 18:55$1300.00 an acre in today's market.
- 18:57So and then you move over to eastern Colorado in that area
- 19:01and a high investment area and it's more like $10,000 an acre.
- 19:04So it's tough. I mean, how do you compete with
- 19:07that? So it's just it goes a lot
- 19:10deeper than what the numbers are telling you.
- 19:13Yeah, it definitely does. Heifer.
- 19:15Retention has kind of been a hot topic conversation piece this
- 19:19week, especially because a lot of people that I'm here with
- 19:22just know that I talked to a lot of people within the industry
- 19:24through the podcast, through other things.
- 19:26And I my biggest thing that I've been telling them is, yeah, the
- 19:30early indicators are there, but I don't think that we can
- 19:33confidently still say that it's happening at a big enough rate.
- 19:38And on Mr. Miller's comments on what he thinks, things that we
- 19:42should do, I think that he can shove those somewhere because
- 19:47yeah, yeah, we do not need tax credits for heifer retention.
- 19:52I think that that is outlandish and we need less government
- 19:55intervention. We not more as far as that is
- 19:58concerned and it's it's putting a Band-Aid on a bullet hole.
- 20:02It's not actually solving any problems.
- 20:04At the end of the day. I think that this is going to be
- 20:08an ebb and flow that we have seen throughout the industry
- 20:10historically and we need to let it play out how it's going to
- 20:14naturally play out because there are so many other factors that
- 20:17go into it. Samantha, you hit the nail on
- 20:19the head there of what does grass look like right now?
- 20:22Do we have the ability and the space to put these cattle?
- 20:26If it's not grass, then is it? Actual ability and income and
- 20:30infrastructure and all of these other things that go into that
- 20:32retention and understanding the fact as well that we're not
- 20:35going to see the return on this for at least a year and a half
- 20:39on a lot of these ranches. And sometimes it is expensive to
- 20:42keep that heifer and not have her in production for a while.
- 20:45So, I mean, although we want to see it and we want to see our
- 20:48cow herd numbers go up here in the United States, it's also the
- 20:51reality that we have to sit back and see where these ranchers are
- 20:54really lying and what different facets and things that they're
- 20:57dealing with in their everyday lives.
- 20:59Exactly. I mean, it's one thing for these
- 21:01guys to say this is what we need to be doing step by step.
- 21:04It's another for you to actually be in the position to make that
- 21:07decision based off your financial situation, drought and
- 21:11all those things that play into it.
- 21:16Dan, any comments? Any thoughts?
- 21:19No, I agree. It's all great points.
- 21:22I mean that. Just look, look back this fall,
- 21:25you know, beef went crazy high. You had 416 choice boxes, steaks
- 21:29went to 2025 bucks a pound at the retail.
- 21:33The price curbed the demand to meet the supply. 2015 we
- 21:38retained a way more heifers than we ever did in 13 or 14 and the
- 21:42market still fell out of bed. So you know, everybody's just
- 21:46looking at that retention and, and only that price still
- 21:50matters. I come back and I and I asked
- 21:53the question how would a bread heifer get to the point it's
- 21:57worth 4500 bucks or 5000 or so? I saw some at 57 + 100 dollars a
- 22:03head for a bread heifer. If there was no demand,
- 22:07retention is happening because we're seeing it in the price.
- 22:10So at the end of the day, we don't need 30 million beef cows
- 22:15in this country anymore because we're obviously making bigger
- 22:18carcasses and blah, blah, blah. We could go on for hours and
- 22:20hours and hours, but it it's happening, it's not going to
- 22:25wreck our markets tomorrow. It's going to be down the road.
- 22:29You guys are both 100% right. I want to get back to 2829
- 22:33million with really, really strong domestic demand and and
- 22:38weights in check. But I, I also want to have a
- 22:42lake house and a yacht and all this.
- 22:45And I don't get that either. No, I don't want any of that
- 22:47crap. But no, it's, yeah, it's the
- 22:51market is doing what the market is designed to do.
- 22:54Price decides on where supply and demand should be.
- 22:58And when one of those is out of whack, the price fluctuates.
- 23:01So price matters. I always say it price matters.
- 23:05And then we found that out today a little bit.
- 23:09Yeah, we absolutely did. I think that this is one of
- 23:12those situations that it's something we're going to
- 23:14continue to watch and we're going to continue to work
- 23:16towards as an industry. But it doesn't happen overnight.
- 23:20It doesn't. We want it.
- 23:22It would be awesome if we could get back to those numbers and
- 23:24get back to that domestic supply, especially when we're
- 23:27talking about a national security standpoint.
- 23:30We do need to have the beef supply here in the United
- 23:32States. And I would love it, love it if
- 23:34we could really start relying on that again.
- 23:37I mean, there's so many other side effects and things that we
- 23:39could talk about all day, like you said, Dan.
- 23:41But at the same time, it's, it's understanding that this isn't
- 23:44going to happen overnight, that this is going to take time.
- 23:46It's going to take every single person being in the right
- 23:49financial mindset and right financial place to be able to be
- 23:52a part of that growth and that retention and that change.
- 23:56So it's something that we'll continue to track because it
- 23:58will affect the market as it continues to happen.
- 24:01But yeah, those are my thoughts on it.
- 24:03Any other closing thoughts? Any other things that we need to
- 24:05talk about or chat about guys? Lauren is at NCBA convention.
- 24:10If you if you want her to stand up and say anything in front of
- 24:15anybody, jump into those comments, type them up.
- 24:19I think she'd be happy to, to speak for the producers.
- 24:24Let's just hope she talks. You know, respectfully, I had a
- 24:27four or 5:00 when she goes down the street and she's on the
- 24:30strip eating Bologna sandwiches and and all the all the little
- 24:34fruity drinks. Oh, what a close.
- 24:40I think we're just going to leave it at that.
- 24:45If you have anything that you would like me to share up on a
- 24:48stage. Actually, Dan, unfortunately for
- 24:51all of our listeners, all of my mainstage speaking engagements
- 24:54are done for the day. But I'm not afraid.
- 24:57There's a little in the middle of the trade show.
- 25:00They have a bar shaped like a guitar.
- 25:02Maybe I just need to go jump up on that with a mic real quick.
- 25:05And there you go. Share Share some thoughts also.
