    Updated Oct 29, 2020

Twould be so fun if girlfriends came, but they’d have to fight ice! However, they moved out of town; memory of them is nice. We could think back some years ago, when two gals paid a call. Of course, that day, there was no snow, for it was early FALL! Now those two gals, are all alone, but they know how to share, Their hubby’s left, gone on ahead, these gals know how to care. “Play u...

    In response to Walt Anderson’s Letter to the Editor in The Ekalaka Eagle, dated October 23, 2020, I could have proudly co-signed that letter. I believe Walt, Sr. and Morine Anderson, whom I remember fondly, would have been proud of their son today. Joy Neumann Miles City, MT...

  • Champion cow horse makes return to competition after five years

    Updated Oct 29, 2020

    The most exciting fourteen days in reined cow horse competition is when top contenders compete in the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) Snaffle Bit Futurity. In 2020, that took place Oct. 10-24 in Fort Worth, Texas. At the Snaffle Bit Futurity in 2012, it was a Cinderella story when little-known Bettin Yer Smart quietly and confidently won the futurity's Hackamore competition. This red roan stallion with the big moves, stops and personality is owned by Long Pines...

  • Hat Tips

    Dean Meyer|Updated Oct 29, 2020

    Hello, It’s been quite awhile since I’ve let you know how Shirley and I are doing. We are both healthy and hope that you are too. In fact, I’m so healthy it is bordering on obese, but that’s another story. I’ve often told you how Shirley cleans up real well, but most days, especially this time of year, I prefer to see her dressed in a stocking cap, Carhart coveralls, Handy Andy gloves, and mud boots. Because we are feeding cows and calves. Last week we had a deal happen that I just had to let you know about. You see, we are f...

  • Memories

    Loyd Townsend|Updated Oct 29, 2020

    Their daughter Ruth has some memories and descriptions of her mother I would like to share. “Mrs. Quam spoke of the times on the ranch when they didn’t know where their next sack of flour was coming from, but they managed to get by. She often told how she would mend clothes and then re-mend them, as there was no money for new things at the time.” Ruth also comments that Mrs. Quam was essentially a home loving person, a fine character with strong devotion to her family. Another memory of the area: Mr. Quam and some of his n...

  • Cooking in the West

    Susan Metcalf|Updated Oct 29, 2020

    As I sit here tonight looking out at the 20 plus inches of snow coating everything, I have to believe that this might slow the buying frenzy of out of state buyers who have flocked to Montana from highly populated areas. Almost as soon as things began to open up in Montana after the shut down, our state has been inundated by visitors looking to just hang out or buyers snapping up property in our beautiful state. Some of them might be rethinking that decision this week. We have had a couple outbreaks of nasty winter already...
