Montana Silversmith's
Steve Miller Signature Collection Statue
December Feature Statue – The Highest Price For Beef
 |
"The Highest Price
for Beef"
MSRP $262.00
19.75" Long x 8.75" Wide x 11.25" Tall
When a cowboy signed up for a cattle drive north, it was for half a year at
a time. They got paid when they got the herd to the end of the trail. They
got a bonus if they made good time, and if they lost a minimum amount of
cows. “Shrink” was not acceptable to the owners or the cow boss who hired
the men to tend them.
But it was more than money that called these men to the trail, it was
adventure and cowboy pride. Pride in doing the job he was being paid to do,
pride in his horsemanship, and his ability to handle anything the trail or
the weather could throw at him. They were honor bound, they gave their word,
and any good cowboy would die for their honor or their word if it came down
to it.
Life was slow and boring most times, it moved at the pace of a tired,
thirsty cow. It could be hot and dusty, so dusty it would dry your throat
and mud your eyes. It might be cold and rainy, a rain that would chill a man
to the bone in minutes, all in the same day. It was lonely. Most cowboys
worked out of hearing distance and sometimes even sight of each other riding
point, herd, or drag. And town, well that was at the end of the trail.
But on those rare occasions when things went sideways, it could get exciting
real fast. When thunder or lightning, a grizzly or just plain "cow ghosts"
spooked a herd of 2,000 half wild cattle the prairie would literally shake
with the pounding, and the entire ground as far as you could see would begin
to move faster and faster, the whole herd feeding on the frenzy of itself
until they could run no more, or until they plunged into a wash or gully or
river. That could cost hundreds of lives and bankrupt the whole endeavor.
Any young cowboy worth his salt, put spur to hide, with no thought of the
danger, to try to ride down and turn the herd. If he can get the leaders to
slowly turn, the rest will follow and they can be run in a huge circle over
safe ground until they wind themselves and are forced to stop.
In an instant, quick as the lightening itself, a scared calf trying to quit
the herd puts both in a deadly situation.
In terms of dollars, cowboys sold their time cheap, but for duty and honor
some young boys paid "The Highest Price for Beef."

AG am in Kansas– Channel 13 WIBW – 4:30 am – New Show
Watch for us “Cowgirls” on the new AG am in Kansas TV show on WIBW Channel
13 airing in January at 4:30 am (or set your recorder and watch it later or
watch the various segments on the internet). The web site
www.agaminkansas.com is under construction and will be completed in January.
We met Heather Newell and Brian Hollman this fall and they introduced us
to their new TV show. Heather was a great sport and accepted my invitation
to come to the Fall Cowgirl Camp to learn to ride a horse and be a cowgirl.
We outfitted her from head to toe and she did great. She rode Dewayne's
horse Everett (Smokes Boston Beamer) across the beautiful Flint Hills of the
Bar U Ranch. A little white knuckled at first and then Heather settled right
in like someone who had ridden all her life. She made a comment that she
might be a little sore the next day (this was after about 2 hours of riding)
and I told her I promised her she would be sore! What fun for everyone!
Heather also got to visit the Flying W Ranch and Jim Bell and Sons while in
the area. Watch for this segment!
Heather also did a segment on "Western Warm" starring Marilyn Domer, our
famous store designer. Rumor has it, the segment turned out really good and
it will be run in January as well. Also watch for Ernie Rodina and Dawn
Dawson’s Better Horses segment.
For a preview of the show go to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDy5TMcGQ90&NR=1
and listen to Diane Gillenwater's beautiful fiddle music and see a glimpse
of Jo and Kramer riding at the Bar U Ranch in the Flint Hills and Dawn &
Ernie’s “Horsing Around” .
Western Warm
Keep your feet western warm this winter with insulated and water proof boots
from Ariat and Muck Boot Companies. These boots are comfortable, dry and
light weight. While you are at Roy Frey’s get a pair of Heatrac gloves for
only $14.99 – what the feedlot cowboys wear to keep their hands warm!
Protect your neck and face with a colorful wild rag. Roy Frey Western has
winter vests and jackets for dress or chores.
 |
Muck boots are lightweight, flexible, buoyant and waterproof top to
bottom. The lining provides superior comfort and breathability by wicking
away humidity and perspiration. Getting the boots on and off is hands free –
easy! CR-foam stretches so the boots are easy to get into and the 10mn kick
rim or pull tab makes them easy to take off. There is added support and
slipper-soft molded comfort in the foot-bed. The rubber shell and nylon
upper clean up with a spray of water or gentle scrubbing. Vulcanization
binds the rubber pieces together to form a lightweight durable shell.
Nothing compares to the comfort and fit of the Original Muck Boot CompanyTM
brand waterproof footwear. But don’t take our word for it – come try one on!
Clinton Anderson is Coming to KC in January
January 16-17, 2010 - Clinton Anderson’s Wahl Walkabout Tour is coming to

Weather Lore for December
• Thunder in December presages fine weather
• A green Christmas, a white Easter
• As the days lengthen so the cold strengthens
• If it rains much during the twelve days after Christmas, it will be a wet
year.
The December full moon is the "Full Cold Moon". December is the month
when the winter cold fastens its grip and the night become long and dark.
This full Moon is also called the Long Nights Moon by some Native American
tribes.
-- from The Old Farmer's Almanac (http://www.almanac.com)
Quote for December
"It’s kind
of fun to do the impossible."
--Walt Disney
Liz’s Trail Corner – December Trail Tip
Trail Riders' Gift List
Great gloves in supple leather by Justin sized for ladies and men as well
as kids. These are a great item that every rider should have. Great for
feeling the reins in your hands and keeping your hands warm in moderate
temperatures.
For the warmest gloves in cold weather we recommend the Heatrac glove
used by feedlot cowboys. Give surprising dexterity, warmth and durability at
a great price - $14.99 per pair. Available in sizes to fit everyone from
kids to adults.
Helmets are for every rider. We stock sizes for all riders in fashion
colors as well as more conservative hues. Troxel helmets meet the industry's
standard for protection and durability. Roy Frey Western is now carrying
helmet cases in brown and black.
Saddle packs make great gifts for the trail rider. Stowaway packs are
great for those who want a cantle pack complete with water bottles. Cashel
makes a great horn bag style for those who prefer their gear on the front.
Stowaways are available in a wide selection of colors. Cashel colors include
black, tan and camo.
Every trail rider can use a new saddle pad and Christmas is a great time
to treat your horse and yourself to a new pad. Thinline's great felt
combination pad is available for the square and round skirted saddle. Once
you try one you won't be without it.
Hought Trail Tack in beta biothane is without compare for ease of use and
practicality. Ease of care--just dunk it in a bucket to clean it, lots of
color choices and sizing that fits. Quality speaks for itself. Made in the
U.S.A.
Trail riders can always use another bucket--why not pick a favorite color
and stock it full of useful items such as grooming equipment (brushes, hoof
pick, curry comb), grooming products (detanglers, conditioners, shampoo),
neat knick knacks (treat pockets, tie one on, ankle safe, etc.), horse
treats, a colorful wild rag, and if you happen to have a picture of that
special horse and rider why not frame it in a wonderful western themed
frame.
Trail Tip for winter riding.
Due to the rainy weather we have been having,
our horses are all in need of special hoof care. All horses regardless of
age who live outside are subject to hoof abscesses in these wet conditions.
Get on a regular schedule with your farrier year round. During extremely wet
weather keep your horses in their stalls with adequate bedding to help their
hooves dry out overnight or for at least a few hours each day. Pick their
hooves regularly before and after riding. At any sign of lameness contact
your veterinarian for evaluation of the situation.

1 can (15 ½ oz) black-eyed peas, rinsed & drained (or use frozen)

KCPD Mounted Patrol Needs 2 Good Geldings
The Kansas City Missouri Mounted Patrol is looking for 2 geldings, 6-18
years of age, at least 15.2 hands, good conformation, good temperament, well
trained and overall sound.
Donated horses are accepted for a 90 day trial period. If the horse
passes the trial period he would then become the property of the Board of
Police Commissioners. Horses that do not pass will be returned to the
donating party. If the decision is made to retire a police horse at any
time, the original owner would then be contacted to accept return of the
horse if they so chose. Visit www.kcmountedpatrol.org for more information
or contact Sgt. Joey Roberts at 816-363-1824.
Donate Old Cowboy Boots to Winding River Girl Scouts
Winding River Camp & Equestrian Center, Dearborn, MO is in need of “well
loved” and in good condition cowboy boots. Many of the 2nd – 8th grade girls
may only get the opportunity to come to Winding River once a year. They
often do not have boots or helmets so Winding River provides them. This has
become quite a challenge as well over a 1,000 young girls come to Winding
River for the Spring and Fall Program. We would welcome all sizes of used
boots. Roy Frey Western in Topeka and Y Bar H in Olathe has offered to serve
as drop off locations. If you would like more information about Winding
River you can go to: www.theranchatloneoak.com or contact Linda Grimmett
