AA Scorpio, Featured Bull
Born in the Fall 2006, this polled bull is spectacular! At 3 years old, he is in his prime. Handles easily, holds his weight well, herds his group around, and gives us great offspring.

Sign of the Times
This is our 8th year to send a semiannual ranch update and our 7th year for a reader board on the entry sign. Looking back is like seeing a slice in time. Weather, politics and family are all reflected.
Take for example, the "cash for clunkers" deal offered by our Federal Government this fall.

Holiday Brings Study in Contrast

Meet Lucky! |
Renaming him, Lucky!
AA U-bolt is the first one and the fastest one were-ever he goes. Last week, as a coming 2 year old, he got his first group .
Early Tuesday morning as the truck topped the rise to feed the first bale, the men noticed something bobbing in the pond, like a turtle, The object was visible, then clear under, then up again. It was U-bolt!
He had walked to the middle of a thawing pond and fell in. Chris endangered his own life getting the rope on him and Bill pulled him to safety with the tractor.
Any other bull would have drowned but U-bolt's energy kept him alive until help arrived. |
