Looking For A Home For 300 Cows

Not a small feat, in fact, if you want to count, it is over 1200 feet we have to find a home for. I took this first week in the new year to check out some places. One potential place is down in Mankota - yes, close the the Dakotas. Won't see much but snow, but hopefully will get a feel on how a cattle rancher will work things out there. If we pick this place, we will be neighbors to the famous Stormy Winters. There is also a place near Big Beaver I would like to see - not sure if there is any big beavers there, but the population is 15 (at least in 2006). Mankota boasts 238 people - party town. Hanley (pop 510) - which is south of Saskatoon, will also be given a once over. This place is in the populated area of Saskatchewan, but one has to remember, there is just over 1 million in all of the province, and Calgary has over 1 million people - so populated is a very relative term. I will try to take some pictures and post them when I get home. Perhaps I will let the masses decide where we should go, since the decision is causing more grey hair to pop, and more hair that is lost.

  2. Don't worry - might be a year or two, but our trial will go again. We are just spreading this sport out that is all!
