I know Wyoming is a big state and this is a shot in the dark, but, there is a large dispersal sale at Farmers & Ranchers, Salina, Ks today featuring cows from the Spicer Ranch of Wyoming. I was told the owner was killed this spring/summer while gathering a cow. Details were few. Are you dry? Would this be why the cows are being trucked from Wyoming to Kansas for sale? My skeptical side is wide open :!:
 
Dejavu:

Spicer Ranches are actually located in Walden Colorado. They are about a stones throw from Wyoming, though!

The Spicer ranch was/is owned by dear family friends, Dave (deceased) and Kay Meyring. I knew Dave my entire life, and you would have to look far and wide to find a better person than Dave Meyring. He was tragically injured in a horse accident that ultimately took his life.

I have no idea why their cows are being sold in Salina, Kansas. I will say, that it seems Colorado does not want to be an Agricultural state anymore, and Wyoming at times seems to follow in their southern cousin's footsteps. It may be the case of trying to get a better price in a place with more demand for cows.

Dave was an excellent cattleman and horseman, and I would say that they should be a top notch set of stock cows.

This is a link to Dave's obit.

My God continue to bless the Meyring family, and may you rest in peace, Dave.

Cheers...

Thank You. What a sad loss. I'm sorry.

My son bought 26 of Dave's cows. They will have a good home.
 
Thanks for the reply TTB, I just logged on .

DejaVu, it's too bad they were for sale under the circumstances, but hopefully they work well for your son. Let us know how they acclimate :D .
 
I sure will let you know how they do. He's trying to put some cows together and I suggested he look at the older cows instead of the higher priced bred heifers that were being sold today. The older cows are tried and true, in my opinion.
The circumstances surrounding this sale are very sad. Before Dave's cows sold this afternoon, the sale barn manager told the crowd what happened. You lost an wonderful friend, we have a connection through this board, and my son now owns some of Dave's cows.

I should have apologized for not seeing your original post sooner.

Thank you to you and your son for providing a few of Dave's matriarch cows a great home; and for caring on Dave's great legacy.

I have no doubt if you and/or your son had met Dave you would have been friends...that was just how Dave was. He was not brash and cocky; but very friendly and nice, and common. At no time did you ever get the idea he was such a great cattleman and outstanding steward of both livestock and land.

Again, thank your son. I think I can speak for many Colorado ranchers, in this regard, tonight.

Heartfelt cheers from mine to yours,

TTB :wink:
