Steve, How can I thank you. I tried to find your number to call earlier but failed. It is 1 AM and I finally had a moment to get to the computer and I found your letter to the association. I know the two of you know the terrible feeling so deep inside that you think you will die but you don't and you can't because they were so special and they live through you. My son is an attorney and lives here. Duane's daughter, husband and our four grandchildren live near Charlotte, NC. They are here. My sister comes tomorrow. We spent most of yesterday with the funeral home and pastor. What you can help me with is this. Duane has about 40 in our herd. I can't keep them but would like to make them available to association members. I really don't even know what they are worth. I know cattle prices are down. My goal is to find good homes for them if possible. My son has helped me find someone to help move hay etc for now, but I know I will need to either sell or take them to market before too long. How can I intelligently handle this. Duane loved his cows so and was so very proud. The next few days will be full. If you could email your phone number, I will call. Thank you for the loving tribute by your email. Becky
