It seems that the PR Dept at the Capitol in Pierre, South Dakota would have you believe that our lives revolve around shooting pheasants, chasing buffalo or riding Harleys.

Not necessarily...

While many were hunting ringneck... we were working cows that we have down at the Hacken's Ranch on Elk Creek. Our good and longtime friend, Laramie Strand, ultrasound the cows to see if they are pregnant. We love working cows as a team... quiet and deliberate. Julia and Kiersten were both given the opportunity by Laramie to ultrasound a few cows. Pretty cool.

Halfway through, Julia who was recording tag numbers and data, commented on how much Laramie and Dean were alike. Yes they are quite entertaining to work with. It was a good day.

I have included quite a few pics that Robin took. I thought many of you would enjoy seeing pics of a portion of South Dakota's leading industry... Agriculture. And yes much of it is done "Family style".
