Superior Auction ~ Flynn's Dollar

You may have heard of Superior Auction Services... especially if you have RFDTV. They run a lot of bull sales, cattle sales, and even horse sales, played live on TV. It's an interesting marketing tool, and after Roy and Abi watched the spring horse sale at the neighbors, they reccommended we ought to give it a try with one or two.
 
  Turns out the girls had three ranch geldings they wanted to offer, so three Double K Horses will be on TV November 9th! This is a first for us, so we're all going to go over to the neighbors and have a party in their living room.

   One of these is Flynn.

Horse of the Past ~ Cowboy

 Since there isn't always a lot worth reporting going on around here, I thought we could run a little something highlighting horses that have moved on long ago. They make their mark, they touch our lives, and each one is a memory worth having.

We'll start with Cowboy, one of the first horses we sold at Billings way back in '06. Can you believe it? That was over seven years ago!

Why Nebraska?

Some folks wonder "Why Nebraska?"
  Well, that's a long story, but to cut it short, opportunity knocked and sent us to a ranch in south western Nebraska. We had little idea at the time what a fortuitous thing this was going to turn out to be!
  Now when people ask, "Where would you like to live, if you could live anywhere in the world?"
   (Believe it or not, I sometimes get asked this. ;-) )
   ...I answer, "Nebraska."
    
   They generally look at me with puzzled looks. (Unless they're Nebraskans themselves.)
    
     First: the people. I have lived a lot of places, in a lot of states, and have never met a population so thoroughly good-natured as we have been privileged to encounter here. It really is a friendly state, and more than that, it's an "ag-first" state, so that means that farm/ranch folk are made to feel welcome and right at home anywhere they go.
  In some of my travels, it seems that anyone making a living "from the land" is somehow looked upon as "less than".
  Less than a doctor, lawyer, IT tech, software inventor.... Or something.

  But here, it's respectable to have dirt under your nails, or even have a cow from time to time.

Double K Ranch, on the Golden Plains above McCook, Nebraska

Folks often want to know what we've been up to, and frankly we're too busy to really remember!
  So we hope this blog somewhat showcase a random selection of aspects of life here at Double K Ranch,  Where Horses are More Than a Ride.
