Things are pretty hectic, in the aftermath of recent flooding and area tornados.  My house burned down recently as well, so I am busy working on that instead of the website.

 

On this site you'll see photos and information of our mammoth jackstock, past and present. They are our private stock which has been kept out of the public eye. The big sorrel jennets we currently have are all related, all home-raised.  Some are daughters of the infamous Texas Red, and the others are daughters of them, sired by sons or grandsons of Texas Red.  These are true mammoths, ranging in size up to 16 hands and 1400#. They have been a consistent size for 30 years, not bred-up burros or cropouts. They produce offspring of consistent size and color.  Please follow the links above to see more.

 


 

The Cookbook page has some of my favorites (apple cake, apple crisp, canned meat, macaroni salad, etc.), and I hope to get some cool recipes from you guys too and put on there.
 

The Photo Album will eventually have pictures I've taken over the past 35 years of having jackstock and mules. Some are classics, such as rare photos I took of Jen Jack, Bully Boy, Texas Red, etc.

 

Those of you who have visited the area know what a great town Osage is.  We're going to see a lot of changes soon, with the addition of The Cedar River Recreation & Fine Arts Center which should be finished late 2008. Combine that with a 100-mile bike trail that connects Lanesboro, Minnesota to nearby Harmony, Cresco, Calmar and Decorah, Iowa, and you've got a great area to live, work, and have fun.

 

There's a lot of renewable energy entities coming to the area - ethanol plants, wind farms, recycling, etc.

So you stumbled onto our work in progress!  This is just a personal workspace, where I work on elements for other website clients, and for friends to visit, but feel free to look around.
