Happy Thursday Y’all !

We’ve got a busy day and a lot going on here at the end of school. Just 8 days away from high school graduation for our son. Seems like we got something every night. Tonight we’ll be at the Ropes Ag Banquet, so no Daily Broadcast.

We’re also skipping right ahead to the Hot-Links.

Don’t worry, we’ll have plenty to talk about Friday and this weekend with Texas Tech Baseball at OSU. Expect a few large Diamond Talk Shows presented by Thacker Jewelry.

A man harrowing in the Texas Panhandle, 1937. Can you imagine approaching that vast field in the morning, knowing that you're going to break up all the clods etc … by hand, with a harrow? I think I'd cry. Sheesh!

Captivated by the rhythmic symphony of the farrier's hammer meeting the anvil, echoing through the corrals. There's something enchanting about the timeless craft of shaping horseshoes, a melody that speaks of tradition and dedication. 🐴🔨 #FarrierLife #RanchLife #XITRanch pic.twitter.com/Ggf1XmXCFa
