The Salt Lake City Convention Center was buzzing with excitement as Registered Holstein breeders, junior members, and friends gathered for the 2024 National Holstein Convention! 🐄✨
Holstein Association USA members from across the country came together to celebrate the iconic black-and-white Holstein cow. Here’s a look at some of the highlights, brought to you by Holstein USA and Zoetis!

The hop harvest and brewers' lot selection has wrapped up in various parts of the world. To celebrate, we've cross-cut a whole cone hop so you can see the internal structure between the layers of leaves.
Can you identify the bracteoles?

Made it to our first market of the season for Oberon's Acres! 🙌🏻
It's fascinating looking at my Q2 Goals and the thought that I was going to sell out of lettuce 🥬 by the first of June, but didn't even make it to market until July! 🫣
Life brings some twists and turns, especially if there's a dependency on external factors like the weather.
I'm not beating myself up about "missing" my goals. I missed all of them in Q2...a post for another day. Instead, I'm using the opportunity to embrace how much I've learned instead. Here's a few learnings from the season ...
✨ Lettuce isn't really my jam, but I may try again next year when the high tunnel is set up.
✨ It's critical to leave empty time in my life/calendar. A handful of unexpected personal hurdles popped up in Q2 and with no empty space in my mind or calendar, I dropped a LOT of spinning plates.
✨ The reminder that for every "yes", there is also a "no" - choose wisely!
I'm not sure where to begin setting my quarterly goals yet, but I'm taking the learnings with me as I think on them.
What's your Q3 looking like? Have you set reasonable goals?

Behind the curtain (TLDR). This was our process for the Richardson Sports video:
- Client briefed us on the idea, Quality in Every Stitch v2
- We concept Hat Valley with the RS team, crafted up a loose storyline and interview questions and started preproduction: gear, locations, lodging, snacks, shot list, snacks, all the things.
- Meanwhile we started putting together a playlist of vibe inspiration for the music creation, discussing with RS team - heaps of vibe alignment. Discussion of guitar tones, and musical eras and favorite artists and why it works. It’s the best.
- Production in Eugene for 2 days: 4 interviews, b roll of many many locations, snacks and about 30 soda waters (just me) and some waffles.
- Back to Portland where we then track the songs. Monday morning at 9 am and you’re tracking music professionally, you have a “this is my job now” moment and get back to work. Four 2 minute songs in 4 hours and then home with Tommy to mix.
- Video editing and art / design prep along with photo selects and color grading are next. Lots of revisions, nothing that sexy in this phase but it’s also everything. F**k this up and you lose.
- Edit rounds galore, client feedback. First one is always scary, because there’s always so much feedback. It’s the moment you realize how different the vision in your head is from the vision in their head - and then the process of aligning those visions or creating a better more singular vision (the goal, and outcome of this video - I think).
- Final color graded video is delivered, along with multiple vertical and horizontal short cut “teaser” videos. We pride ourselves on the borderline obscene amount of content we deliver. We also hand over youtube thumbnail, selects and really whatever else is requested.
- Delivery to the masses, along with the moment of complete exhilaration at finishing a big project. Also, the inevitable crash and panic of now what - until you look at your todo list and realize it will be fine.
