    Just a picture of Will riding Fred, for a test.

    We used to run Charolais bulls, and the offspring sold very well. It was hard to get replacement heifers though, from that program.

    COULD HAVE BEEN A WHEELY BAD DEAL By Steve Moreland – July 17, 2021 The railroad went through northern Nebraska in 1885. Even though equipment was primitive, and the work was done with man-powered shovels and genuine hide-covered horse-powered fresnos, it seemed to go fast. All the towns...

    Moving day

    Darrell, your story reminds me of a visit I had with a lady in Valentine today. In her conversation, Kay mentioned that she had recently been at a Walmart. A man and a woman were ahead of her in an aisle, and they were arguing quite loudly. My friend wasn't quite sure why she did it, but she...

    Early Risers?

    Good story, Webfoot. Reminds me of a dad whose two sons had partied hearty into the wee hours the night before. The dad hollered at them extra early the next morning, as he needed help with a job that needed doing. One of the boys let out a howl from upstairs, and the dad shouted back, "What...

    Cowboy Hat Or Baseball Cap?

    During Army National Guard basic training in 1972, at Fort Ord, California, my ears got sunburned very badly wearing the army-issued baseball-type caps. That is the only time in my life I've ever worn a cap that didn't have ear flaps, but it was a requirement at the time. The sunburned ears hurt...

    Cowboy Hat Or Baseball Cap?

    AN OLD COWBOY’S LAMENT By Steve Moreland, July 19, 2019 A few months ago I was sitting at the sale barn with an old friend, who has been a cowboy and rancher all his life. In our conversation he lamented that he needed a new hat, but hesitated in buying one because they were so expensive. I...

    The amazing Joe Biden!

    And here is the story the fake media has chosen not to share with the public. The SCOTUS did not rule on the merits of the election fraud that still exists. Now that I have listened to the testimony of poll workers and countless witnesses to fraud it is now obvious the media have been lying to...

    What's the weather like at your place?

    It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Mr. Rogers wouldn't even need to wear a sweater. Pretty luxurious for early December in Nebraska.
