Is that the Krogman's that raise those good quarter horses, I think around Winner, SD? I've heard about those Krogman horses for years!

Calves look good, Soap, really stretchy! Congratulations on another good sale!

Old West Days is held in Valentine annually, usually the first week-end in October. There have been 23 of these events, and I have attended each one. It is always a good time.

I don't know if Kenny and Bonnie raise horses or not, but they are ranchers and both are great entertainers. There are several Krogman families in the White River area. Here are a couple links to their horse programs.

[Big Muddy rancher]

Pretty sure when my daughter Britt was little she used to recite an Elisabeth Ebert limerick.
When riding far out on the prairie,
The facilities tend to be airy
You can be sure that the spot,
You've chosen to squat,
Your profile will show,
So don't tarry.
