He was a hard worker and loved his cows and horses. He could tell you what calf came from what cow clear back to her great-grandma and what bull it was out of. He raised work and riding horses all his life. He worked horses for years to feed the cows and hay with. He bought his first Simmental bull in 1967 from Leroy Sutton.
