History

Carrie's grandpa, Arthur Ferguson, and her dad, Gordon "Ferg" Ferguson, at Flying W Ranch in 1957.  Grandpa Art was 50 and dad was 17.    

Shared with us by Randy Thompson.  Dad (Gordon Ferguson) looks sharp in his black felt hat, showing Blue Sky Pioneer T.  He worked for Blue Sky Angus Farm in Kearney, MO, in the 1960s and early 1970s. 

My grandpa, Arthur Ferguson.  He was in both AGR and Farmhouse at Iowa State.  It was late in his college career when the Great Depression hit and he had to go back home to Minnesota to help his parents on the farm.  He worked for several Angus farms around the country.  He told of riding train cars taking cattle to the International in Chicago.  I remember my dad saying he was one of the last true cowboys.
