The calf was bawling as it slid backwards through the now dusty branding area. “Get ready,” I told my daughter. The excitement and apprehension were written on her face.

Cattlemen and farmers have a knack for speaking the truth in straight-forward terms.

In a community best known for the world's oldest Dr Pepper bottling plant and the last one to use pure cane sugar, the Lightning C Ranch is a faded memory.

Wind, you may spend half your time thanking the good Lord for it and the other half of your time cussing it. Without the Windmill, it is a question of if the West ever would have been won. Water is the one thing that needed to be harnessed in order for the people, stock and crops to survive.

Working on a ranch gives a person an opportunity to wear more then one hat. You most likely wake up thinking about the immediate needs of the stock your running and while your doing the normal chores, your brain is running a hundred miles an hour on what you family needs are. If they are not awake and running beside you, they will be when you hit the house.
