    Xenforo is GREAT forum software!

    I used "insert image." For some reason the picture didn't come up on the post, as Silver's picture did. If you click on the link, the picture appears.

    MANY OF OUR PASTURES are named after the old homesteaders that first settled this country. On our ranch, our better land with more gently rolling hills and sub-irrigated hay meadows is on the Nebraska side of the border. Our South Dakota land is rough hills, sandy pastures, and not nearly as...

    FROM OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES, by Steve Moreland, February 20, 2020

    Actually "Uncle Billy" is full time ranching with us now. He sold his shop in town, and moved all of his equipment out to a shop on the ranch. This even included his 100-ton press, which was quite an undertaking in and of itself. He seems to like being around cattle again, and it is easier on...

    BOOTS - by Steve Moreland - January 1, 2020

    Nice that your dad got to be buried in his boots. It's every cowboy's desire to "die with their boots on," and your dad took it one "step" further. Good for him, and for all of you who honored his request. A few months ago I was sitting at the sale barn with an old friend, who has been a...

    Hey, Soap!

    Thanks, loomixguy. That does seem like a measly paltry sum for putting up with a wind turbine. There are a multitude of reasons why not to put up with those things, but hardly any reason to want one. Maybe I'm just getting grouchy in my old age. Cherry County seems to be a day late and a...

    GOOSE—HE WAS A GOOD ONE By Steve Moreland, November 22, 2019

    GOOSE—HE WAS A GOOD ONE By Steve Moreland, November 22, 2019 Back in the year 2001, we had our brandings on the last two Saturdays of April like usual. No one else seemed to brand in April in those days, preferring to wait until May, so this plan worked out well for many years. On April 28th...

    Where is Sandhusker?

    He takes that stuff so seriously. :cboy: He is still hard at it, busily engaged in purveying prime pricey petroleum products. Much as I hate donating hard-earned money to his cause, we couldn't get along without him.

    IT’S HARD TO BE A HERO By Steve Moreland, October 10, 2019

    IT’S HARD TO BE A HERO By Steve Moreland, October 10, 2019 Back in 1988, calving time was sneaking up rapidly. Carol and I had two small children, Will (five years old) and Tiffany (not quite two), and we had only lived on our “new” ranch for less than two years. Looking back through our old...
