Episode 1
David Wolf, Director of the Legacy of the Plains Museum, speaks with Gary Warrner. Gary’s family moved to the area in the early 1880’s and settled in south-central Scotts Bluff County. Gary’s chronicles both sides of his grandparent’s journey to the area and talks about his personal journey which has taken him to the oil fields in Texas and back to the area where he opened his own business. After he retired, the call of ranching was too much, and he started a herd of his own.
Gary also talks about the history of longhorns and the early cattle breeds in the area. Gary cares for the Legacy of the Plains longhorn herd and talks a little bit about the Museum’s cattle operation.
