Restarting a legacy
Visiting the J-D Claypool Ranch in southern Oklahoma, near Ringling, I saw such history. The original Dillard Ranch was established in the late 1800s, before Oklahoma was granted statehood.
Nice to Meat Ya: Kenny Montgomery
Kenny Montgomery is a cowboy. The definition fits him well, too. He’s tough, unassuming, he’s resilient – the kind of guy you could ride around with in the pick up, the one you want on your side.
