B&R Cattle is Bad News

He might be Rick's sonI never knew Harold.. just Rick & Brain & Justin.. Harold was still alive the 1st few times I pulled for them .. but I never talked to him
BTW .. Thanks for finding time to drop by SWD.. I was able to restock yesterday after I got home ..from the looks of those cans .. Iam gona have to buy you some load locks

 

Almost forgot either Rick or Brian got into the racing business in the early 80s and there was family uproar over that too.
Drugs were pretty prevalent back then with the drivers there ...the old man left a filing cabinet unlocked once and I opened it discovering pharmacy....which kind of explained why when he got home he slept about 24 hours before I saw him again .

 

Find anything good in there ?
Asking for a friend

 

Dunno I was about 14 at the time , most of what I know about Stewart's l learned later in life from my mother .

 

I learned more about them from you than I knew...never really worried much about em as long as they paid and didn't screw me ..

 

I think that was more of an issue in the 70s and 80s when Harold was running the show .
When I was in my early 20s I called my mother and told her I was thinking about going to work for a cow outfit in west fargo ...it was at that point she made it clear she didn't want me anywhere near the cow biz and filled me in on all the things that went on in south st Paul....along with the shady things that went on at Stewart's.
She went to her grave hating Nancy Stewart.

 

Blue thunder is called Bob.
Battery operated boyfriend

 

That's totally understandable
My so called mother asked me what what I had in mind to do with my life when I started my Sophomore year.. Told her I figured I would farm... she completely lost her ..S...t right there in the kitchen .. she informed me of what my Dad's family had done to him.. and why he was the way he was...to this day she still despises that family...
Ha I fooled her..I left home 3 days after graduation and became a cow hauler ... never looked back either

 

Here in the great state of Iowa where all the corn fed girls live ...BOB has a completely different meaning is stands for ...Big Old B#!@h

 

We all take our own paths but I think my mother's advice was good advice and what I said is all I know other than the buckboard bar on concord Ave across from the south st Paul stockyards back in the day was a haven for loose women , road dope and ruined families.
My grandmother lived in South st Paul near the yards and on visits I was forbidden from Going to the yards ...did anyway lol.
That's all I have and it's all gone along with most of its history but Stewart, Armstrong, lenertz , beguilin were a big part of the order buyer scheme now mostly gone with the demise of stockyards.
At one point south Saint Paul rivaled omaha and Chicago.
Long gone .
