Mavis runs the swather all haying season and can live on a piece of bologna and an ice tea if that's all you give her. The only thing she doesn't care for is tuna fish sandwiches; although she has been known to have few of them in the hayfield she never complained. Mavis has continued working as Steve’s secretary for the ranch and the cutting horse business as well as doing odds and end jobs around the ranch doing whatever needed to be done. As her two kids grew up and attended college she started working at Obo’s Food and Market. As many of you know, Mavis loves to cook so she really enjoyed that job, especially working the mornings and cooking breakfast for the community. She met several people and has gained many friendships because of that job.

We have gleaned that there are over 3,000 miles of fence in Sublette County. That’s a lot of fences! Of those, we estimate 690 miles have been addressed for wildlife passage to date. That’s a pretty good feat, yet we need to decide the best path forward to accomplish fence-conversion projects in the most appropriate locations. Thus, the partnership and the projects selected are continuing to evolve.

“As farmers and ranchers, we share the goal of protecting the nation’s water,” said Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation (WyFB) President Todd Fornstrom. “Reverting to a rule that was unreasonable and unworkable is a threat to the nation’s water.
