Leadership is an area that I think we can all learn and continue improving in. In this issue, Dr. Nels Lindberg tackles the dreaded difficult conversations that we have all faced, outlining methods to make these difficult conversations successful.

Ted Howard will share some pointers on horsemanship. I now am the proud owner of a beautiful 18-year-old mare that Patsy Houghton gave to me to ride and help retire.
Chad Engle from the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Clay Center, Nebraska, will discuss early weaning nutrition and pasture management. You may have noticed or heard, in some parts of Nebraska, we have been drier this year than the last two years.
