Attention Hunters and Sportsmen: Just a reminder not to park your vehicles in front of residences, corrals, loading chutes, gates or driveways. This time of year cattle, sheep and horses are being moved and gathered using little used access routes. Also farm machinery and other vehicles may be using these routes. Cattle and sheep are being trailed along the public roads. Use caution and slow speeds when approaching these herds.
Help maintain good relationships with the land owners.
Gem County rancher Drew Blessinger was chosen as one of two pick-up men of the year (2011) at the Idaho Cowboy Rodeo Finals held at the Idaho Equine Center. These two were chosen by their fellow rodeo contestants. Drew runs cows at Sweet and is a member of the Ola "C" Grazing Unit running on West Mountain and he runs the family feedlot and farm at Sand Hollow. He also owns Terra West Construction Co. and Superior Rodeo Co. Drew has two sons, Colton and Wyatt, who help him.
A parade is being held in Emmett on November 5th at 1:00 to honor and welcome the 116th Army units return. If you would like to participate and have a patriotic float or vehicle with lots of flags in the parade, please contact Lou Shelton-447-0496 or Tom Blessinger-602-0124. We want to show our appreciation and give thanks to them. Plan on attending!
Now is the time of fall gathering of livestock. It has been such nice weather that the cattle do not want to come home or drop to lower elevations. Everyone is gathering their cattle for fall and eventually winter feeding. Numbers of lost cattle have not been calculated yet.
