When%20my%20dad%20bought%20a%20registered%20herd%20of%20Herefords%20in%201972%20this%20gentleman%20bought%20300%20cows%20from%20Dad_zpsfk8yixqy.jpg

When my dad bought a herd of registered Hereford cows from Lorentz Raben back in 1972, this gentleman purchased 300 commercial Hereford cows from my dad. The three-way trade was done for tax purposes. Tom had a very distinguished military career, and was injured in an explosion. Since then he has been hard of hearing. When he was recovering in the hospital, encumbered with a full body cast, he had someone teach him how to read lips. He says he gets by real well by doing this, unless the speaker is chewing tobacco or has a large mustache. :-)

I kinda like these old Sandhills, just as they are. We don't need no stinking wind turbines or high voltage transmission lines.
