Old Tea Tin Full Of Letters

Just a picture I posted on the Historic Sask. fb site. Mazawattee tea tin full of wartime letters written to Dick Nevard by his brother Bill. I've posted a lot of their history over on the Nevardblog before. Dick was in the Canadian army overseas at the time of this letter and brother Bill back on the farm at Headlands Sask. Bill wrote in great detail of daily life on the farm so its a treasure of family history. I had someone inquire if I would be interested in selling them. No. What happens to it when I'm gone I have no idea but maybe some of it will survive on here at least.

My Last Roundup

Well I am finally out of the cattle business as of Jan 27, 2025. First time in about 120 years that there have been no cattle on the farm. I will miss them but its a relief not to have to chores in the miserable winter we get sometimes. Not to have to worry about them breaking out of the fences into neighbour's crops. Prices are about the best they have been historically so that helps too. https://youtu.be/34W5JLi2dd8 Blogger makes it way too difficult to post the actual youtube video from my channel here but you can see it on the Roosty6 channel under title My Last Roundup.
