glenmar ranch: Caddo, Oklahoma: As The Tornado Passed By...
- 04/17/11 06:16 PM
We were celebrating Sue Simpson's 89th birthday at the Caddo Cafe when the tornado siren went off. Sue is the matriarch of GlenMar Ranch in Caddo. The Caddo Cafe has a television in one corner, and we all looked up as the newsman announced that a tornado had touched down west of us in Tishomingo, and was moving to the east.
Tornado Alley Living as they do in "Tornado Alley," Oklahomans take these violent storms seriously. You didn't hear anyone in Oklahoma on the news saying "I couldn't believe that this could happen. It was like a … (35 comments)

glenmar ranch: Spectacular Weather Front At GlenMar Ranch, Caddo, OK
- 04/04/10 04:32 PM
Friday afternoon the Colonel picked me up at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Tucson was cold when I boarded the plane at 6:45 a.m., much colder than it had been only a day ago. It was raining in Dallas when we landed, but as we drove up Interstate 75 and crossed the Red River into Oklahoma, the sky was clearing to the west. To the east, however, that squall line you see above was forming as the sun set in the west. The Colonel, retired USAF, spent a career flying military transports around the globe. Looking out the window to the … (28 comments)
glenmar ranch: Stormy Morning Sunrise, Caddo, Oklahoma
- 04/23/09 04:02 PM
The crescent moon and the morning star were visible in the eastern sky when I started my morning walk at 5:55 a.m. today. There was something unusual in the way the clouds scudded past, pushed by a brisk westerly wind, and the sunrise was spectacular. I'm used to a vivid pallette in my hometown of Tucson, Arizona, especially at sunset. The colors this morning here in Caddo, Oklahoma rival anything I've enjoyed at home. Nothing materialized weatherwise, and by the time I was headed back down Hat Powell Road to GlenMar Ranch, the morning light in one of the pastures … (36 comments)
Taffy is an ususual name for a working ranch bull. That's what happens when you let a five year old name your animals. Kristin named Taffy. Yesterday I tricked him out in his new bright orange fly tags so he could impress the ladies. That red tag in his left ear is his number tag. GlenMar ranch is a cow/calf operation. When the young ladies (heifers) come of age to be bred, you want their first calf to be relatively small. That's where Taffy comes in. His daddy was an … (9 comments)
glenmar ranch: Out of the Active Rain Loop: Working Cattle in Caddo, OK
- 04/19/09 02:55 PM
This was our sunset this evening. The location is GlenMar Ranch in Caddo, OK. My Darlin' and I come out here every April, and have been doing so since 1996. Working cows is so unlike everything I do the rest of the year that it's a vacation to work the spring roundup. It used to take us more than a week of hard work--my friend Dick Carson and I--to get everything done. Now we hope to be done in two or three long days. Shots, medical attention, fly tags, ear tags, banding the bull calves to make little steers out … (25 comments)
glenmar ranch: Part 2 of 5 Ranch Photos from Mike in Tucson
- 04/19/08 01:48 PM
Southeastern Oklahoma is blooming with color by the beginning of the third week of the month. That's when my Darlin' and I visit GlenMar Ranch in the little town of Caddo, OK. My friend the Colonel (pronounce that KerNel if you're not a military type) spends many hours during this period of spring behind the lens of his camera. He's documented many of the wildflowers that color the creek bottoms and pastures. Most of them are unidentified, since one person's wildflower is another person's weed. Most ranchers wouldn't care. The colonel, though, is an artist at heart, in my humble opinion. … (9 comments)
