Hi there. I would have liked to have met you but the bus was ready to leave and I had to go too but I did meet your dad and daughter though. I was born in 1951 so I don't know for sure if I ever lived on the ranch...I don't think I did as I only remember the farm a half mile south of Big...
Regarding the KC brand and it's origins...my older brother Lyle told me dad took the last letter of his first name (Jack) and the first letter of his last name (Canute) to make his brand.
