COWBOY POETRY BY H. FRED LIESE Fred Liese makes his home at the edge of Black Coulee near Turner, Montana. Raised on the Big Flat, he finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and Fred’s brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.

Kuzunts and Other Relative Definitions Webster does not have these terms Google search can’t find them Yet these words, they do exist Their books have not defined them.

There is no lack of clarity His brother “gets around” Dive into definitions, Here the word is found.

A kuzunt is a person The spectrum, it is wide It could be a person’s cousin More broadly, it’s implied.

The answer is definitive It deletes the flaw His brother has a sweetie, That’s his mistress in-law.

It’s extended family coverage You may find it hard to sort It can lengthen family trees If you find they’re rather short.

Genealogy is difficult It’s no cut and dried illusion Catalog these definitions Void the traces of confusion.

One kuzunt has an ex The relationship is carried Years ago, they split the sheets She has been remarried.

There is a kuzunt’s kuzunt He’s wild and unruly He calls her from the bar “Where are you darling, Julie?

He gives her due respect On the family tree, he’ll draw The spouse that she has wed, That’s his husband in-law.

He glanced up at the clock His partner, she was tardy He’d made preparations; It’s a “do not leave me” party.

Her parents prize a different term Her siblings, they do too Posting their relationship They’re un-laws, it is true.

If they failed to reconcile If that’s the final straw Removing all attachments, She’ll be his uncommon-law.

Money Talks

By guest contributor Greg Dugdale of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. Havre, Montana

TRUSTEE ME People of all shapes and sizes are establishing trusts. Credit shelter trusts, marital trusts, generation skipping trusts, life insurance trusts, charitable remainder trusts and living trusts, are just a few examples of the types of trusts that are in use today. All of these trusts have at least one thing in common--you need a trustee for all of them. The trustee plays an absolutely critical role in whether the trust will be successful. The question is, who should be the trustee? Before answering this question, let’s take a quick look at trusts. A trust is a written agreement between the grantor (sometimes called a settlor or trustor) and the trustee. Under a trust agreement, the grantor transfers cash and/or assets to the trustee and gives the trustee instructions regarding the distribution of the income and principal of the trust to the beneficiaries. The trustee is a fiduciary who must follow the instructions of the grantor with respect to the investment of trust assets and all distributions. There are three types of trustees; professional, semi-professional, and amateur. Professional trustees are usually corporations who are engaged in the business of acting as a trustee for hire. Bank trust departments and independent trust companies are the most common examples of professional trustees. Semi-professional trustees are typically professional advisers like attorneys and accountants. These individuals have some, but perhaps not all, of the technical knowledge of a full-time professional trustee. However, they may have a long-standing relationship with the grantor and his/her family. Amateur trustees include any individual who acts as a trustee on a part-time, infrequent basis. Appointing yourself, your spouse, your child, your brother-in-law the doctor or most other family and non-family members typically means that you have appointed an amateur trustee. No one type of trustee is always right for every situation. Like any other aspect of financial planning, choosing a trustee involves weighing relative advantages and disadvantages and it should be done with the help of a lawyer. Professional trustees do offer expertise in trust law, income taxes, investments and a variety of other topics that relate to trusts. Professional trustees also have staffs that can provide grantors and beneficiaries with various reporting services. There is very little risk of fraud when dealing with a corporate trustee and a corporate trustee won’t die or become incapacitated. Professional trustees can also be expensive. In addition, the quality of service varies widely from institution to institution and even among branches of the same institution.

FOR SALE:

9 ft. Truck Utility Box.

Lots of compartments, totally enclosed center section. Fits 1.5 ton to 2 ton truck. Call 406-357-2817

Semi-professional and amateur trustees share many of the same advantages and disadvantages, although perhaps to a different degree. On the plus side, they may be more “in tune” with the grantor’s wishes and the personal needs of beneficiaries. They may waive some or all of the fee to which they are entitled. There are, of course, negatives as well. Semi-professionals and amateurs are part-time trustees. They may lack the skills necessary in complex situations. They are also subject to the human frailties of injury, sickness, death and dishonesty. There is no one right answer for all situations. It pays to review your options carefully. Of course, this brief article is no substitute for a careful consideration of all of the advantages and disadvantages of this matter in light of your unique personal circumstances. Before implementing any significant tax or financial planning strategy, contact your financial planner, attorney or tax advisor as appropriate. This material was prepared by Raymond James for use by Greg Dugdale, Branch Manager of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC.

Cattle Deworming

Spring is a good time to pour your cows and calves before going out to grass. Injectable products are less convenient, but are effective on internal parasites and sucking lice for about the same cost as pour-on per head. Pour-on is good for biting and sucking lice and internal parasites. Both products have an immediate result with ticks but are not residual. Unfortunately, winter does not kill parasites that are in our pastures or already in our cattle. The worms remain dormant over the winter, but with new grass and warmth they become active and travel to the top of the plants, therefore being ingested by livestock. Deworming during the springtime helps break the cycle of pasture contamination and cattle infection. Parasites can suppress immune systems and suppress appetites which limits intake and absorption of nutrients. Ultimately, good nutrition for the cow means more milk for her calf and better reproductive performance. For stockers, the advantage is weight gain. There are research trials proving a 15 lb. weight

gain advantage over untreated stockers over a 143 day grazing period. Currently, some pharmaceutical companies are encouraging deworming through various promotions. Pfizer is offering a 4% rebate for a Dectomax and vaccine combo purchase this spring. Merial is offering the Ivomec Challenge, which is an excellent opportunity--the way it works is that if ranchers treat all of their cows and calves with any Ivomec brand product this spring (Feb 1 – June 30, 2010) and if the improved average weaning weight this year vs. 2009 does not cover the purchase price of the Ivomec used, then Merial will provide an equal amount of any Ivomec brand product for the fall of 2010. Pour or inject your cows and calves before turn-out this spring. See us for further information on the programs offered.
