Today's riddle: What did the Buffalo say when his son left? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Circle C Off-Leash Area Project (austintexas.gov) — Southwest Austin dog owners can look forward to a new permanent off-leash area at Circle C Metropolitan Park, now under construction with City Council District 8 funding and expected to finish Phase 1 in fall 2026. The project follows a successful pilot and will replace the temporary dog off-leash area, expanding options for nearby neighborhoods that have relied on the park for decades.
• Early goals produce draw between Austin FC, Union (statenews.net) — Austin FC battled Philadelphia to a 1–1 draw at home Saturday night after extreme heat in Austin delayed kickoff and left players struggling to finish chances. An early header from Brendan Hines-Ike answered Philadelphia's opener, earning the Verde a point and extending their small unbeaten run as the summer conditions continue to test fans and players alike.
• 'Disappointed': Ranchers and Republicans React to Trump's Beef Import (notus.org) — An Austin-area rancher who sells beef at Battle Creek and Sunset Valley farmers markets in Austin says business is already strained and now feels blindsided by President Trump's plan to import 300,000 metric tons of tariff-free beef. Ranchers and Republican leaders nationwide argue the move undercuts American producers, raises quality concerns, and is becoming a flashpoint in key elections.
