A boy, his bicycle and a paper route

LeRoy Baldwin was six years old when he began delivering newspapers. The little boy was determined to have a cow herd of his own. The young entrepreneur upgraded his bicycle to a pony that carried him from house to house. Before long, young Leroy had saved enough to buy his first Angus cattle. Read the full story in the book.

Five Star Land & Livestock

Five Star Land and Livestock

His, hers and theirs, together

If the barn at Five Star Land & Livestock had a tagline, “his, hers and theirs” might be it. Mark and Abbie Nelson were married in 1984, a union that blended two families including kids, cattle and dreams. Mark tells his side of the story with an ironic smirk: his bride had better cattle, so he sold his and they kept hers. For more, order the book.
