Not Enough Bull In Your Life?

The New American Digest Posted on May 18, 2026 by DTMay 17, 2026

Someplace out along US34 near Haigler, Nebraska - just east of Colorado; just north of Kansas - sits this ... "billboard".

40.0166, -101.9030

Well now - what is the Windmill Angus Ranch?

A place to get your own bull ... generate your own custom-made bull extract. It's election year after all ...

Our 52nd Anniversary Production Sale is coming up and you don't want to miss it! Join us Saturday, April 18, 2026!

Sorry - this year's sale was in mid-April ... but wait!

The Windmill Angus Ranch sells semen from sire Mead Mercury:

You can grow your own bull from scratch. Just like IKEA, the ranch has all the parts for your project. Get your heifer here to match your semen. Get your GreatOPlus All Natural Cattle Feed ("Backed by Science") here for nutrition.

Our Secret . . .
BUILD BETTER WITH OMEGA-3
We designed our feed on increasing your pork, poultry and beef production in almost any situation.
Having a flaxseed and our own nanno algae for base ingredients, we load and balance your livestock with Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (Omega-3) so you can reap the benefits across any program.  
Great O is a value added fat supplement that is low use that provides multiple benefits to your program.

All you need to provide is the land and water; 9 months later, you'll be able to answer the age-old question: "What part of the cow does the Angus come from?"

The rear I suspect ...

Gerard's Last Post
(posthumous): Feb 4, 2023
"So Long. See You All a Little Further Down the Road"

When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings

Avett Brothers - No Hard Feelings

The Feral Irishman

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm goin' to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning,
I'll come followin' you

Take me for a trip upon
your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere,
I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it


Men who saw night coming down about them could somehow act as if they stood at the edge of dawn.


From Gerard's site. The picture always caught my eye.
