It is Snickerdoodle season! Actually, this classic never goes out of season.

Looks like more than American cattle producers have beef with USDA’s recent announcement to open our borders and market to Paraguay beef. Now, Congress has stepped in.

It is official, we have just confirmed our 12th reporting barn for the big fall run. We now blanket the great Northern beef belt from Motely, Minnesota to Torrington, Wyoming.

But this time of year, it is time for me to revert back to one of our old favorites, the Snickerdoodle! And let’s be honest, there is nothing more cozy that a soft, buttery cookie hugged in warm cinnamon and sugar this time of year.

Last week’s cattle on feed report had the future’s market scared and seeing spirits apparently. What was once intended to be a risk management tool has tried to hijack the cash market and create cattle market chaos.

And don’t worry, if you don’t have a lot of time or passion to spend in the kitchen, I’m sure there is a local baker in your area that would appreciate your support.
