Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Actors Who Can Ride

I wonder if  Mel still owns the cattle ranch in Columbia, MT.  If my
information is correct, he owns, or did own some years ago, the former
Beartooth Ranch in Columbia.  Thirty years ago, we were breeding purebred
Polled Herefords and used to go to the occasional show.  Beartooth was a big
and successful breeder then.
