Boyd is 81 years old and currently lives in Lima, MT. His family ran 4,200 head of mother cows and they put up their hay using a team and a beaver slide. When he was 9 years old, he would drive the team of horses while his dad would feed the cows in -20 degree weather. He said, "The only way to handle cattle is horseback." Every year, they would brand around 3,200 head of their own calves and then continue on and help the neighbors brand their calves. He said, "Im retired now. I'm just a full-time grandpa. And I enjoy helping people around town here. If there's something to do, I like to pitch in and give them a hand." Boyd is one of the salt-of-the-earth people and I know you'll enjoy listening to his story.
