Ep. 14: Flynn Farms - Eldean and Sandy Flynn

Eldean and Sandy Flynn live near Cartwright, ND on the ranch that Eldean’s grandfather started many years ago. Eldean has been part of many aspects of the ranch from his early days, from breaking horses to helping work cattle to whatever he needed to do. However, not until the Eldean’s dad became sick did he take over the cow herd and had to learn how to manage them for himself. With the help of his wife Sandy they forged ahead and keep the cattle going and made them into an intricate part of their lives. Nevertheless, Eldean and Sandy are strong members of their community and do many things to help as many people as they can, no matter the situation. So, yes these two are cattle ranchers, but even more importantly they are amazingly generous people as well.
