Times Are Changing . . . The recent NCAA rankings show the long-time powerhouse teams of Michigan State, North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky & Louisville are not even on the Top 25 list. Perhaps the one-and-done NBA training program of Duke’s Coach K is finally done forever! The days are getting longer and opening day at Yankee Stadium is just over 2 months away!

UDDER EVOLUTION
Those of us over a certain age remember those carrot-teated cows that weren’t so fun to milk. But selective breeding developed higher, tighter udders with smaller, closely placed rear teats. Now, robots require a little longer, wider-spaced teats. And breeders will continue to meet the needs of the future.
