A last, minute change now
pits the Beach Firemen against
the Beach Merchants, according
to word received at the News
office this morning. Farmers and
ranchers are so busy at this time
of the year that not enough were
available to make up a team.
Hello,
A little late with my article
this morning. We held our annu-
al colt production sale yester-
day. Want t:o take a minute and
thank everyone that attended.
Some came tbr colts. Some came
to visit. Some came for beer and
brats. And we darn sure appreci-
ated every one of you. So, being
I'm a little late this morning, I
had to rummage through some
old articles and find one on horse
sales. Here goes from a few
years back.
I thought I'd do a little adver-
tising this week. We, Shirley
is selling some colts this week.
Really. I know. I "know. I didn't
think she ever would. And l
think they are the finest colts
in the land. Oh, we don't really
have the numbers u> have a
sale, so we're part of the Black
Hills Select Sale in Spearfish on
Frida?:
St u'ted out we had ten colts
to sell. Then one got a cold.
Nine. Then one got a bump on
the knee. Eight. Then one got
a little wire. Seven. Then the
sire of three of them died :in
an accident. And you know we
couldn't sell the poor orphans.
Four. But I'll guarantee the ones
that made the cut are good. See
you there. Oh, yeah, and before I
forget we've got wine and cheese
before the sale. Old cheese and
young wine.
I think I told you this story
before, but it should be repeated
once in a while just to keep
everyone honest. It's a horse sale
story.
Now people m'e always leery
of buying a horse at a regular
auction sale. 'Cause one time a
bad horse got sold at auction. I
don't think it was on purpose.
But everyone goes to the sale.
They are as much a social event
as they are business. People take
time off from work. People drive
hundreds of miles. People pack
their kids and a box of puppies
to give away in an old yellow
pickup. They crowd in the cafes
and in the aisles. A good horse
sale is standing room only.
And people go for one reason.
To see if they can buy a really
good horse cheap. One that Dad
can rope a cow on, Mom can get
the milk cows in on, Billy can
take to the team roping, Bobbi
can win the barrel racing on,
and the nieces and nephews can
learn to ride on.
It helps if the horse is good
looking, sound, bred really well,
walks fast, trots easy, lopes
smooth, runs fast, stops hard,
and has good feet. If he is easy
to catch, never kicks, guaranteed
not to buck, and can cut cattle
he's a keeper. But you have to
buy him for about six hundred
dollars cause that's what your
old killer horse brought when
you sold him.
And once in a while you get
a good one. Carmen's horse,
CC, came from an auction i,q
Dickinson. Cost six hundred
dollars and I cried when Carrn
turned down twenty thousand
for him. She's blonde you know.
But, then I guess C earned i
place in our hearts and homes.
But back to my story. Involves
a horse trader from Minnesota
We'll just call him Joe.
was at a horse sale at Billings
some years ago. And a rancher
brought in an old horse he had
retired. Old Buck was 22 years
old. Horse's mane was long, feet
were bad, and he was full of mud
and cocldeburs. The old rancho
felt pretty bad about having t,
sell him. Joe felt sorry fbr the
guy and bought the horse.
Then Joe took the horse out t',
his trailer. Trimmed his mane
Pulled his tail. Brushed the muu
and the burdock out. Trimmed
his feet. Put a little oil in hi's
mane to make it shine. Saddled
him up and resold him two hours
later.
This old rancher gets home
and hollers at Ma to come look
at his new saddle horse. Best
deal he ever got. Sold Old Buck
for $600 and got this horse that
looked just like old Buck di(
fifteen years ago tbr $2500. Ant
he's only nine years old!
Gotta go halter break colts.

It seems to be a heaw mast
year in the Turtle Mountains. In
some places the ground (or hik-
ing and biking trail) is virtually
covered with acorns.
Of course I'm not the only one
noticing all those acorns. I've
heard several people mention it.
Some are telling me that a heavy
acorn crop predicts a tough win-
Let. I don't buy into those kinds of
winter predictions, but I will pre-
dict that those animals that pre-
fer acorns are thinking they've
died and gone to Heaven.
No doubt many animals such
as squirrels, grouse, deer, deer
mice, and many others will take
advantage of this veritable feast.
Many will enter winter in better condition because
of it. Some populations may actually increase (e.g.
deer mice .
The heavy acorn crop may affect us in another
rather unexpected way. Spikes in the incidence of
Lyme disease often occur two years after a heavy
acorn crop. Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria
carried by deer ticks. Common carriers of the tick
are deer nfice and deer. Researchers have tbund
that heavy acorn crops can result it', higher con-
centrations of the mouse and deep population in
the area. As a result, the tick population increases.
The tick tile cycle is such that after two years,
humans are more apt to contract the disease.
Heavy acorn crops tend to occm" rather spo-
radically. As with other plants, environmental fac-
tors at pollination influence fruit
development and seed set. Many
&you have noticed this in apples
and juneberries.
There are also some internal
mechanisms involved. These
factors aren't well understood,
but abundant data support the
hypothesis that plants have
internal mechanisms to assess
how much energy can be allocat-
ed to seed and fruit development.
Jack-in-the-pulpit, for example,
will produce no flowers, male
flowers, or female flowers (and
subsequent fruits and seeds)
in correlation with increased
:;:" : energy reserves. If you give it
some thought, it makes sense.
Reproduction is the ultimate objective of the spe-
cies, so there are strong mechanisms in place to
ensure it occurs.
With all those acorns around, I've had a real
urge to try making acorn pancakes, bread, or just
roast a few. The stuff might taste good, but the
preparation normally involves extensive boiling
to remove the bitter tannins. It's a real ordeal.
There's a reason most people don't make the stufP.
I sure hope this urge passes soon. My wife does
toot Maybe I'll have to settle for watching the other
animals compete for all those acorns.
"Get Out and Enjoy!"
