Richard and I attended an NCBA Stockmanship and Stewardship program at Joplin Regional Stockyards tonight. We were happy to meet the speakers we had been reading about for some time. They put on a program for the Stockyard employees in the afternoon and then another for the Stockyard customers (which we attended) in the evening.
