Raising cattle is a long game. You plan years ahead, you build a herd one generation at a time, and you count on being here to see it through. We get to make those plans because others were willing to leave their own homes, families and plans behind to protect ours.

To our veterans, and to the families who kept things running while they were gone: thank you. We don’t forget it.

Fly your flag today, and thank a veteran when you see one.
