    Native calf...just a picture of whats new

    No we have not. The storms with a lot of snow have been to the east and north of us. That photo of Rosabell was from last week when we got a couple of inches but it was all gone within a day. We are as dry as I ever remember it. Mostly cool windy weather.

Social media has evolved but Facebook, Instagram etc. seem to have become sites where information is very brief or flashes and disapears. I...

    r.n.reed passing

    I was very sorry to see the passing of Steer Planet member r.n.reed, Gary Kaper. I met Gary years ago and always admired his breeding program and appreciated his freindship. He had the Wolf Ridge Shorthorn herd in Illinois and bred bulls such as Kaper 4508 and Wolf Ridge Double Brute...
