We're entrepreneurial.

I figured that out the hard way through there.

We're more entrepreneurs than we probably are.

We love people in the cattle business, but we love the people probably more than we love the cattle.

And so we started blending feed and selling in between feedings.

So our first tractor was a 4020 that was already 30 years old.

And we put it to work in the morning and then we blended feed in the middle of the day and then fed again at night and ran that out of a 300 bushel bulk bin.

Wow.

And we built a brand of New Balance Commodities.

And that started out as just dry blended feed.

And we sold the thunder out of that.

We actually somehow made a brand of Comex.

Now, everybody in the region knows what Comix is, and every feed store around the region has Comix, but we didn't even, we just, that was the first thing we wrote down on a piece of paper.

So what is in Comix?

Yeah, it was soy hole pellets, gluten pellets.

Back then, I think it was some oat hole pellets and some supplement and some DDG and different oil.

And we just kept blending and blending.

Just commingled everything.

Commingled everything.

Into Comix.
