This stock has appeared at nu merous rodeos in California, Ore gon, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Tex as, Colorado and New Mexico. It is quartered in winter months on the ranch at Tres Pinos. 35 miles east of Salinas, while other ranch property at Merced provides ad ditional summer range for the stock. ft 6 iY .Ik... .'i.- 1127 NE Stephens St. Phone OR 3-7541 WE'RE OPEN 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. 7 Doyi A Week Colorful Terminology Is Like most major sports, rodeo, over the years, has developed a language all its own.
