I'm the Father

I’m Ken McClure. The father of Zach, Ethan and Beth. Our ranch, north of Albuquerque, has been in the family since the 1880’s. My grandfather, father and I have been ranchers. Of course, in this day and age, ranching changed a bit. But neighbors count and we help each other. Best times my kids had was Spring branding and the social that happened afterwards.
My children ran loose on the land, getting into things I don’t want to know about.
I’ll say, Zach’s experiences with losing his leg shook us all, but Sophie didn’t cut that son of mine any slack. That’s what he needed, and I thank the good Lord she brought him up to scratch.
