Why drive 360 miles to sell steers"

On December 19th, Rachel took a trailer load of our steers to Menno, South Dakota to be sold at Menno Livestock Auction. Ken and Lynne Wintersteen, the owners of the auction, have been friends for many years. The daughter, Ellie, attended Rainbow Bible Ranch when she was younger. We have always been impressed by these people and a number of others in the surrounding community. These farmers and cattlemen live in a very productive region of the state. What has impressed us in the kindness and generosity of so many here. Due to the drought conditions that have impacted areas of western South Dakota, a number of people have banded together to help us obtain much needed feed for the livestock of the ranch especially the horses of RBR. We did not have a big load of calves, but it only made sense to throw our support the direction of and area that included many that have stepped up to the plate for those need.
