Shirley and Family I dearly loved visiting Edmund on his ranch. No one, rightfully so, could have been more proud and in love with his Angus cattle than Edmund. I consider it a honor and privilege to have had the opportunity to purchase a good many bulls from him. I will forever miss the welcome and wisdom shared whenever we crossed paths.
