REPORT FROM DISTRICT RALLY BY MIKE HUDNELL - The District rally is now in the history books. 360 in attendance with the herd making a strong appearance. The herd collectively drew together and had some great decorations. A special thanks to Smitty and Linda for getting Cow Camp there and to evryone else who helped out. We missed everyone that wasn't there. The stories will be many I am sure.
