Bulls and Family

My Dad enjoyed good Hereford cattle and good horses. He loved his family dearly and he was a man of God. Perhaps that explains why we have enjoyed fellowship with the Feddes Family of Manhattan, Montana so much. My Dad, Marvin (Tige) and Marvin Feddes were of kindred spirit. We bought bulls from the Feddes family for years. Marv and Nell would stop in from time to time and Dad enjoyed his trips to their ranch in western Montana. Sweet fellowship ...

Today on the Lonetree Ranch an event of life happened. "Death". Yes one of old herd bulls died. But this wasn't just any old bull. This was the last bull that my dad had a part in making the decision to purchase from the Feddes family. Sort of an end to a chapter... but not really. You see Tige and Marv trusted Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Because of that decision, They are enjoying eternity in the presence of Jesus. Some may think they are there talking of cattle and days on the ranch. I don't think so much. Heaven is too grand and they left the ranching business in the capable hands of the next generation. There is no doubt in my mind that decisions they made and the life they lived have left an amazing legacy.
