Not an old post; Wanda died the day after here birthday this year, January.

Wanda (Hillsdown) passed away yesterday -- day after her birthday. She fought a long fight earning her angel wings.

Never had the privilege of meeting Wanda in person, but had the privilege of being a woman in ag that received good advice and encouragement from her over 10 years or so. And she shared great recipes, too. This is going to be very hard for her husband, and all the people that cared much for...

Where's my head at today . . . nearby, I'm butchering apples to dehdryate. One load done; another on the way. Not far, a fam member will have some major surgery in a week or so and I'll be travelling to be a helper with that for a few days. Far away, Canada, a lady and her fam I have soooo much...

Dave, there's someone up near Troy, ID that may be doing that. Every year the Troy Lions Club sells raffle tickets for a buff hunt at a ranch up there -- $5/ticket. I've been buying them for years; bet I've spent $300 on tickets. No buff yet!

You asking about my personal health issues, or cattle?

Don't think that question has anything to do w/ cattle, and not anyone else's business. Maybe a scam message? And by the way . . . I'm still here, still alive, with only a few beef steers and no production cattle, retired, sold the farm to the son, looking forward to some travel in the...

Coming soon to a theater near us, too!

Not as big as a grizz/brown bear, but still . . . I don't think I'd have kept him or any other bear for 23 years. Just finished reading Alaska Bear Stories for the umpteenth time. ;)

Idaho had big issues w/ the wild sheep a few years ago -- lost a lot of them. Not sure how or if that was ever figured out or resolved.

Just heard about this today. What a great guy -- Dun/Don! He grew up out here in the Pac NW. Think he'd have liked to come back towards the end. Sorry I never got to meet the man.

I do want to do some touring in the South and Southwest -- check out some civil war history spots, find bass and/or catfish holes here and there, meet some of the folks I've "met" here and on other cattle pages or via business with them. Not many of the fam left in MO. Like I said, it's been...

Hi, CTB folks. I do check in to see what you have to say now and then, but w/out cattle, I don't have much to contribute. I do miss the cattle -- hugely -- but they are well-taken care of nearby and I can pretty much have as much interaction as I want to with them. I choose to have little, as...

If any of you want to move on over to Oregon to get cozier to Dave, see the same realtor web site that he posted and look up the 57 and Meadow Grass River ranches. Those belong to my sis and her husband.
