LT PRIDE AND JOY


Danny Reinhold is shown bringing in a couple of stragglers on the good big horse, "Rooster" this morning. The forecast calls for 12"-24" of snow with strong winds. We have the livestock pretty much where we want them, but we realize that this is shaping up to be a dangerous storm. We are pleased to receive the moisture. Snow brings nitrogen into the soil. We sure can use the runoff...however on days such as this, one's memory bank is certainly tapped. I recall another Mother's Day Blizzard in, I believe, 1967. There was significant livestock loss. I do remember riding with Dad after the storm accounting for loss and as well the living. As Dad and I rode then, near where Danny is in this photo, we came across a pretty Hereford heifer calf. Dad smiled big and said, "Well you rascal...you made it." This heifer was out of the 67 cow and when it came time to register this little heifer, Dad named her "LT (Lonetree) Pride and Joy. A good memory indeed!
