YOU’RE DOIN’ FINE OKLAHOMA!
Oklahoma’s Drummond family started running cattle in Osage county in
the late 1880’s. The latest generation has worked hard to build up the outfit
to the point where it can handle 6,500 cows and 12,000 stockers. Still,
their motto is “leave it better than you found it”…By Corinne Patterson

On The Cover: Snow never stopped the cowboys from
making a circle and moving some cows around. Master photographer
David Stoecklein doesn’t let a cold winter’s day stop
him either, evident as he snapped this great shot of Wade
Planner coming up out of the Snake River Basin behind a bunch
of good-looking cattle. (photo by David Stoecklein Photography).
