I regret I will not be able to attend Art's funeral to personally express my condolences. I always enjoyed working with Art. He was a great cow man. He could tell alot from the look in a cows eye, and had a great ability to remember a cow by sight, and know her calving date, repro status, how well she milked and how many times she had mastitis without a computer!. I learned alot from Art. He cared about his animals and his farm. One of his best talents was that he was smart enough to know what his limitations were. He did not try to do things that he knew would not work for him, even when others were adopting them. He realized what worked for him, and stuck to his plan. Not what others thought he should do, and he obviously had much sucess doing things his way.
I will miss him, his gentle smile and pleasant laugh. Rest in peace Art, you deserve it.
