Letter from the editor
Hello NTFR readers and welcome to the June issue of NTFR. This month the magazine is popping with great content and beautiful colors from all the wildflowers.
This month Rayford Pullen discusses choices producers have when marketing cattle. After, read about the Cooke County Beef Cattle Improvement Association. The association is dedicated to supporting and promoting the beef cattle industry and introducing it to the youth through education.
Our resident veterinarian, Dr. Bellefeuille has a column this month for horse owners about the importance of immunization. Following that read along with a touching article about a horse for every hero. SpiritHorse helps veterans coming back in to civilian life a little easier through kind, caring horses.
This months profile is on the interesting Jerry Craft of Jacksboro. The rancher, writer and ex semi-pro baseball pitcher has lived a lifetime of experiences that only is seen in the movies.
After, read about Norris Dalton bucking bulls. The bull producer is a parapalegic that against all his hardships manages a successful business.
This month there are numerous events happening in North Texas. On in particular is the Jim Bowie Days Rodeo, parade and festival. The jam-packed event has something to offer the entire family. Check the NTFR monthly calendar for other events happening throughout the month.
NTFR has numerous articles to sooth your history tooth. First, an outlaw cemetery in Wise county tells a story of the lost community of Gourley, and second, the fascinating story of the Last Comanche Chief, Quanah Parker’s trip to Clay County.
We end this months issue with a good laugh from country humor columnist, David Gregory with a article entitled, Happy Cows. As always, if you have a article, picture or event you would like to see in NTFR send it our way at [email protected]. Also, make sure to keep up with NTFR on social media!

This is a prestigious award, voted on by the members of the associations. To be named Horse of the Year by fellow competitors is a high honor only a few achieve.
