DG with friends on the high desert
About
me: I am Donna Grace; I descend from a gritty old homesteader
family. I raised 2 daughters that are the salt of the earth, who
I love with all my heart - they are my greatest acheivement.
I have been in agriculture all my life. I have been an AI tech since
I was a kid; and have raised registered cattle and horses off and
on my whole life. In my hayday I ranched over 6500 acres on the
Crow Indian Reservation, running a working guest cattle ranch with
grain & hay farming, commercial and registered beef cattle herds,
working stock dogs and a 100+ range horse breeding operation. There
we raised our own ranch horses, which included fancy roan Hancock
Quarter Horses, and Curly ranch horses that were hypoallergenic
stockhorses (that traced mostly to old foundation Quarter Horse
bloodlines). These days things are much quieter; I am a vet tech
at Lockwood Veterinary Service. I live in a secluded
little cabin near Shepherd, Montana. I own one mare, Lynx Warrior
Wind (below), the best left from all my best, bred to one of my
favorite stallions (closely related to our best Hancock stallion
we lost to cougars in Oregon). And soon I will own another lovely
loyal registered merle Border Collie that will have that rare discernment:
The perfectly
balanced (Abingdon BC bred) biddable capability to work stylish
& soft enough for sheep, but with the confidence, power &
bite needed for cattle. She will be my 4th Ruby, and cousin to BBC
Ruby (pictured above) - who I still miss dearly. My passion for
fine working Border Collies has long been surpassed by my sister,
Paula & hubby Steven, of Shady
Acres Farm, Duck River, Tennessee.
I
hope at least one of my websites brings you some enjoyment, entertainment
or enlightenment - and in some small way helps you do the right
things for the right reasons. That is what life is all about to
me. Be honest, be ethical, do your best, and in all the ways that
matter, you will prosper. |
