The Kosmo Kid was on hand for the festivities.

Headquarters of the Rex Adamson family Broken Box Ranch

Feed outfit on the Broken Box

Close-up view. The stackmover hauls a full load of big round bales. The hydra-fork arm is stout enough to push a bale off the mover. Then the tractor backs up to get lined up to push the bale with the dozer blade. The roller device on top of the dozer blade is designed to drop down and spin the bale to unroll it. The system looks pretty slick, and sure did a nice job of scattering the bale out for a long ways. No hay will get wasted with this impressive feed outfit.

191 plates were used at the dinner stop, and there were 67 vehicles on the tour.

Remnants of the ranch where Peach Blossom grew up. This place is now owned by the Adamson family, and was on our way home.

My dad and his new wife. It was my dad's suggestion many years ago that the Sandhills Cattle Association have a ranch tour. Director's of the organization were skeptical of having this event in January. My dad assured them that it would work. They haven't had to cancel one yet on account of the weather, and Dad has been on all eighteen of the tours, which are held in different areas each year.

We are back home again, and are having company for supper.
