Thank You x 2
☆ July 26, 2016
Thank you to everyone who shared and supported my Kickstarter…. this is what I got!
A Little Red Reefer!
All thanks to YOU.
Barn doors instead of a roll up door!
She is perfect.
And she needs a name……….
Thank you, also, to Taylor, Sharon, Brian, Heligal Anne, Flying Coyote, Kate, Jane, Dennis, Jan, Rue, Jessica, Lindsey, Meghan, Mary, Ellen, Susan, Abi, Kelley, Sophie, Kathleen, Broken Wagon Farm, Rocko & Daisy, Bree, Pat, Julie, Marya, Maureen, Joyce, Pam, Nicole, Karie, Torre, Katie, Corinne, Sheri, Laima, Lissa, Linda, CeeBee, Sally, Liza, Susan, Leslie, Sara, Melissa, Sandy, Maggie, Bud, Joy, Jay, The Fourteen Anonymoi, Blithe, Moonyean, Keli, Karl, Marian, FOSS, John, Elizabeth, Theresa, Kevin, Rowan, and Jacquelyn for donating to my fundraiser to Help Fight Hunger.
We’re a third of the way to my goal (which I am matching to $10K)! I’m going to let it run till the beginning of November, then take a truckload of beef to The Food Bank of the Rockies in time for the holidays. You can join us and donate HERE – just $5 makes an impact.
Quickie Farmily news ~ Tinkerbell might be pregnant! Can you believe it? She looks so good, so strong and healthy, you’d never guess her tragic calfhood by looking at her. You’d never know Sid was an orphan, either. He is downright fat and he and Roxy are joined at the hip. I want to make them a draft team. I’ve been wanting to train an ox for years – since Frisco was born – and I always run out of time, so we’ll see if they ever pull a cart together…. but I do have them both halter trained. They are the cutest little pair. When Frisco died, I didn’t know if I’d ever fall in love with another calf like I did with him, and with Roxy and Sid, I have, times two.

Frisco Express. I assume you have Triple A?
Just because.
July 26th, 2016 @ 8:16 am
Your cute reefer calls to me “Rosie” and I don’t know why, it just does. I can hardly wait to see you and your red reefer next week!
July 26th, 2016 @ 8:40 am

All the best to you, Shreve.
How about “Red Rover”.

Congrats! She’s a beauty!
July 26th, 2016 @ 10:33 am
My first 3 thoughts:
That is a beautiful truck.
I am in love with a truck.
I am green with envy. (Or red in this case)
So happy for you Shreve; with the truck, the Kickstarter, your wonderful food donation program and all the babies whose lives have been graced by you!

Ruby came to mind first…
BUT, ‘Rhody’ (red rhododendron) has two meanings, right?
July 26th, 2016 @ 10:57 am
wow! just perfect. congratulations! and i’m so glad to know that roxy and sid are filling the void left by frisco.
July 26th, 2016 @ 11:46 am

She’s beautiful! I do hope that having your own adorable little red reefer means that in future years, you’ll be able to deliver to my neck of the woods, too. My husband and I would dearly love to try your wonderful beef!
July 26th, 2016 @ 5:59 pm
I love your little red wagon! She’s beautiful and looks strong and sturdy. She also looks happy in her new home and proud of her new job. Happy trails to you both!
July 26th, 2016 @ 9:19 pm
Little red perfection!!!! ~~yay~~
July 26th, 2016 @ 9:42 pm
I agree with the other nominations for “Rosie”
July 27th, 2016 @ 12:28 am
Wow. That looks sharp. Like its got a lot backing it up. That’s pretty damn impressive for 8 years work in Wyoming.
July 27th, 2016 @ 6:27 am
She is phenom and looks like fun to drive. Jo Jo is my name and I have no reason for this, it just popped into my head.

reefer madness
July 27th, 2016 @ 11:42 am
Yay, so exciting!! I’m so thrilled you were able to get your reefer truck :) Plus, it’s just so cute!
I also love “Rosie” for the name!
Congrats Shreve!!
July 27th, 2016 @ 11:52 am
I thought of another one…. “Red Ryder”

Congratulations! The truck looks super. Wow. And I re-read your touching story about Tinkerbell. The name Poppy just came to mind for the truck.

Clifford the big red truck
July 27th, 2016 @ 4:49 pm
Ruby Reefer?
July 27th, 2016 @ 5:47 pm
Your red reefer is so frickin’ cool! I love it! Thanks for doing all you do, Shreve. From sharing your life, to giving us insight to life with Charlie, for giving your cattle a good life, to living true to you. All of it helps to make the world a better place and inspires many to be true to themselves (ourselves!) too.
July 27th, 2016 @ 7:29 pm
I know it is corny…. but it fits..
Meatloaf Express
(as in the porkchop express (big trouble in little china))
and congrats, great choice!!!
July 28th, 2016 @ 9:58 am
Way to go S!!! As I’ve said in the past… I adore and admire you! How about The Red Dreamen Demon or the Dreamen Demon for short. Best of Luck for your future endeavors and stay safe.

As usual, your photographs are stunning. It looks like your truck modeled for you.
Rhodochrosite, shortened to Rhodie.
Looking forward to seeing the truck – thinking about The Little Engine that Could.
Always enjoy hearing about the farmily and their antics. Happy to hear that Roxy and Sid have dug themselves so deeply into your heart. Love rules.
July 28th, 2016 @ 2:43 pm
You’ve been calling it Little Red Reefer for so long, that is how I think of it.
In my watercolors, that color is Quin Red.
Also Cad Red and Permanent Red Deep, but those aren’t as lyrical.
I still like Little Red Reefer. Sorta like the Little Red Hen, only with vehicles.
July 28th, 2016 @ 3:51 pm
I also like the name Ruby for this beautiful truck. And here’s a tune to go with her.
July 29th, 2016 @ 9:34 am
The name of your company is Star Brand Beef ~ I would name the truck (if it were mine) B.B. Star ~
Stay cool over there ~
August 1st, 2016 @ 8:17 am
Now that’s one Sexy Beast! LUV, luv the red!
August 1st, 2016 @ 8:43 am
Upon reflection, It probably won’t matter what you name her, her nickname will end up being Red.
Or Green. As in reference to your holistic or ‘green’ approach to life.

Dion & the Belmonts Ruby Baby
I love a girl and Ruby is her name…
August 5th, 2016 @ 10:43 am
Maybe “Reefer”
August 5th, 2016 @ 3:16 pm
I vote for “Endeavor”.

Little Red Riding Reefer.
After the song Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs, because that symbolises your fight against the big bad feedlotters (which is a complete insult to wolves everywhere and I apologise – it’s metaphorical, alright?!)
And because I’m a little insane, I relyric’d it a little…
Owoooooooo!
Who’s that I see driven’ down these roads?
Why, it’s Little Red Riding Reefer.
Hey there Little Red Riding Reefer,
You sure are looking good.
You’re everything a big bad feedlotter could want.
Listen to me.
Little Red Riding Reefer
I don’t think little big girls should
Go working in the spooky old cattle trade alone.
Owoooooooo!
