Our southeast Kansas ranch was founded in 1867.  We care for the land and more than 200 cow-calf pairs every day of the year.  During the summer we custom graze yearlings and put up a lot of hay.  We started this site to counter the lies being told about agriculture.  With roots going as deep as ours, we feel compelled to speak out in order to preserve our way of life.

 This gun-toting, red-meat eating, Sunday school teaching, history geek is a bank marketing
 manager by day, cowgirl on the weekends and blogger/web desiger/writer any time she can
 squeeze it in.  She grew up on a ranch spending her summers on a horse checking cattle
 being told she had a way with animals.

 This cowboy is happiest when he's out talking to his girls--the cows that call our place 
 home.  He is rabid about ensuring proper conservation and range management
 practices happen on his place.  In his spare time, this even bigger history geek can be
 found doing living history showing people what really happened during Bleeding
 Kansas and the Civil War.
