By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief The cows were pregnant-checked back in early November and we had very good results. A total of 73 of 77 were pregnant and the neighbor had 21 out of 21. Those numbers were very good for us as the vet told us that he had seen some numbers in the… Read More

The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda We listen to Park Rapids radio in the morning. They pass along to the interested-I’m-sure public what the school kids there are having for lunch.
