That one paycheck

That one paycheck TOWNER, N.D. — The past year had its ups and downs, but luckily for the family, one of the ups has been the cattle market. Having just sold last year’s calves and having close to 20 years of cattle markets to compare it to since I came back to the ranch after college, I can say I much prefer selling into an up market than a down market.

Historical weather

Historical weather TOWNER, N.D. — After a few years of having winters we’d like to forget, this year, we’ve gotten a winter we want to remember . . . so far. On Jan. 10, I did chores wearing a vest instead of a jacket and there wasn’t a speck of snow on the ground. It was so nice, I even had my earflaps tucked up inside of my cap, and that doesn’t often happen in January in North Dakota.

Unwanted horses would suffer if not for buyers

RECLUSE, Wyo. — I recently was interviewed on a radio show that included the Humane Society of the United States’ Wayne Pacelle, who made remarks such as, “horse slaughter is a predatory business where killer buyers outbid people who just want to save horses,” “horse slaughter is inhumane,” “Americans don’t eat horsemeat and we shouldn’t be supplying people who do” and “all horse meat is contaminated and unfit for human consumption.”
