Traders of the Bighorn

  SUMMER IS APPROACHING FAST! Well, our Auction went off with a Bang! We had great weather and a big turn out. We sold over 900 lots and the sale went from 9:00 in the morning until 6:00 that night. Another big success thank goodness. It will be the same time next year the first Saturday after Memorial Weekend. Hopefully, if you did not make this years maybe next year.

  Auction Update Just to let you know we are starting to get in some really neat items for our 5th Annual Western Trade Auction on June 2nd. We have a Covered Wagon, Freight Wagon, old cart these are just a few examples. Also, we will have some great guns this year to. Keep looking at our Auction Page to see new pictures and items listed.

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate with us, we just had 6" to 2 feet of snow yesterday! Typical Colorado weather. Everybody keeps saying we need the moisture, I guess our pastures are finally turning green hopefully, we will have a great hay cutting this summer.

Brochure almost ready for our Deer, Elk and Bear hunting for this September on the 4th generation cattle ranch that has just opened up for hunting. Call us if interested.

  Fur Season coming to an end Here it is almost the end of February, boy where did the winter go. Dan and Ethan have been busy trapping and doing Predator Control trapping Coyotes for our area ranchers and it has been a tough season. He has over 20 ft drifts in alot of the areas and this is how it has been for the past 2 months. We had 5 weeks in a row with snow over the weekends leaving anywhere from 12 to 36" each time. The fur harvest has been pretty good considering the conditions it sure takes Dan alot longer each day. Next year we will be better prepared. We had gotten spoiled with the Colorado weather the last 15 years. The store has been busy and we are already starting to do our shows that we do each year and getting ready for our annual auction. Til next time take care! Dan, Karen & Ethan
