53rd Anniversary Customer Appreciation Day

Erstellt am: von Longhorn

DCC Ranch e-News #224 - 10-01-20

by Darol Dickinson

Celebrating the 53nd Annual year of raising Texas  Longhorn cattle at Dickinson Cattle Co was a joyous event with the annual Customer Appreciation Day, near Barnesville, Ohio. The goal is great friends, a beautiful time of year at the ranch, demonstrations of procedures used at DCC, wonderful and sometimes wild and crazy great food, the Satellite Horn Showcase measuring, photos of everything, celebrity Longhorn lovers from all over, pasture bus tours, kids roping, and the star of the event is the great Texas Longhorn breed.

Now it is sad that you went to a half-price-off flee market, or a raw sushi eating contest, or a training session for unbattered husbands, a Biden fund raiser seminar, or just forgot. It was your loss. To help you feel really depressed for missing out, here are some photos of the day.
