In February, Richland County will be hosting the Eastern Montana Sheep symposium to hopefully bring some much needed educational programming and shed some light o...

Case in point: about a month ago I slipped on a patch of ice in my back yard and fell splat on my back. It has taken those four plus weeks since my crash for the muscles,...
