Also, never crowd an animal or surround it and always allow an animal an easy escape route. Always control pets while walking them and make sure there are no wildlife around before letting animals out of the house and to view and...

Here in Wyoming, we are merely observers. Or are we? I was recently in Nevada, one of the battleground states, and got to follow some of the national candidates and make some observations on the national scene. On the Democratic side, I always assumed Hillary Clinton would be our next president. She is not my choice but with all the...

Last year, one man killed over 500 at one place and the snakes...

We have also incorporated a dynamic crop rotation of winter wheat followed by a diverse forage crop, dry edible beans, corn and field peas.
