Montanans have long held to tradition and maintained a firm grip on the old way of doing things. That hasn’t stopped the spread of new ideas in the state – and that’s okay, too – but in Big Sky Country and central Montana in particular, we appreciate our small businesses and do our part to support them. No one understands this better than the folks at R&G Quality Feeds in Malta, Montana, where owners George & Stella Lamb, their son, Rick, and daughter-in-law, Cori, proudly serve their community and the surrounding area. R&G Quality Feeds, Inc. at 515 1st Street East provides virtually anything to has to do with livestock feed. The company stocks pet food, manufactures feed, offers custom application of fertilizer, sells chemicals, hauls grain, and also sells other items like supplements, salts, and protein tubs. Their primary customers are farmers and ranchers, though plenty of Malta residents take advantage of R&G’s stock of pet food, water softener salts, and wood stove pellets. Though stockholders in the Malta area originally owned the then-corporation, George and Rick purchased R&G Quality Feeds in 1985, departing from their management position at the Saco Dehy. Since the shift nearly three decades ago, R&G has developed into fertilizer sales, spreader applications, delivery trucks, and grain hauling. The company’s ability to provide various services to a broad range of clientele reflects the owners’ mission to continue supporting smaller operations. “We try to make sure that we meet the needs of the larger customers as well as those with smaller ranches and farms,” says Rick. Big companies tend to take care of big companies, but R&G makes sure everyone gets a fair shake. “Small ranches and farms have a more difficult time having their products or services delivered,” he says, “but everybody’s place is equally important to us.” The company prides itself on quality, both of its products and its customer service. R&G typically has from seven to nine employees who are dedicated to getting the job done, and done right. “Anybody can sell a product,” says Rick, “but we make sure that good service is provided with that product.” The small staff at R&G Quality Feeds are friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to work with their customers to ensure satisfaction from start to finish. R&G Quality Feeds isn’t just about excellent service and fair prices when it comes to supporting their community – they are also devoted to purchasing their raw materials locally as often as possible. “If the farmers raise it here, we’ll buy it here,” says Rick. On top of that, the company is active among multiple organizations in the Malta area, including 4-H, livestock sales, Boy Scouts, youth groups, and more. They support various student events and activities, and readily donate to fundraisers for organizations and family tragedies. Owners George, Stella, Rick, and Cori have built their company with service in mind. In the past few decades, they managed to expand their products and services while keeping their core values intact. Small businesses and larger operations alike have come to expect fair prices and excellent service from R&G Quality Feeds, and the company has remained steadfast in their mission. Their roots run deep throughout Malta and the surrounding area—and while R&G will continue to expand, none of their clientele will fall through the cracks. Quality and fairness, says Rick, is what his company prides itself upon. Luckily for Malta, that service will likely be around for years to come.
Small Businesses...Keeping Montana Strong!Just like “It takes a community to raise a child”, it takes small businesses to strengthen a community. Without loyal community-minded businesses, many Montana towns would be nothing more than a happy memory. These dedicated companies consistently provide jobs, industry, donations and volunteer services to the patrons who support them. They know that without a healthy economy in their town, their own companies will suffer, so they give back faithfully....When you see them be sure to say, “Thanks!”

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor
by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58
We hope you enjoy reading this feature in Tricia’s Trader. you
may agree, you may disagree With dr. Kerns’ ramblings, but you Will alWays have something
to discuss over dinner.
In spite of growing public opposition, Obamacare is nearing full implementation. The noose of nationalized healthcare was designed to not be fully tightened around the public’s neck until it was futile to struggle. Various cells of opposition were granted temporary exemptions to lull them into submission and it has worked perfectly. If Congress fully funds Obamacare it will be as if the trap door on the gallows has been tripped putting America in a free-fall until the inevitable sudden jerk ends 236 years of liberty. Because Democrats have fully embraced the big government principles of Marx and half the Republicans have fully embraced the principles of compromise, I expect Obamacare will be funded. In Montana’s most recent legislative session, we had two opportunities to hinder Obamacare implementation. We failed to block the first, HB87, an “Act giving the insurance commissioner rate-review authority”. We only stopped the second bill, HB623, “Medicaid expansion,” because we adjourned before the self-described “responsible Republicans” could garner 12 more Republicans to join the Democrats and pass this Obamacare plank. Bless their little hearts. Once the federal government, particularly the Internal Revenue Service, controls your healthcare they will control every aspect of your life. Let me show you. There is no doubt America is facing an obesity epidemic and each week new surveys pop up revealing which city, state or county has the largest citizens. Because the correlation between obesity and the consumption of healthcare dollars is so direct, does it not follow the entity granting you free healthcare has the right to dictate what you eat and how
much you exercise? Of course it does. The left knows this and this should terrify rational thinking Americans. The First Lady’s war on childhood obesity is an exploratory salvo probing exactly how much government intrusion the public will tolerate. Certainly, there has been resistance, but it is mild and the left knows the populace can be indoctrinated to accept any position. If you see nothing wrong with surrendering such decisions to government, imagine if this conservative cow doctor were hired by the IRS as the national body-mass-index czar. Here is life in the Kerns house and it would likely take the full force of government down the barrel of gun to encourage you to join us. The alarm and the coffee pot trip at 3:50 every morning. Over coffee, the trophy wife and I read the Bible for 20 minutes; a pace which gets us cover to cover every year. The next 40 minutes are dedicated to strength training with free-weights and this puts us out the door for our regular seven mile run by 5:25 am. We are home and showered by 7:00 and because we have eliminated sugar and flour, our breakfast is mostly meat, fruit and vegetables; not a popular position for a politician from a state marketing wheat and sugar beets. (Obviously, I am not a politician.) This is our normal, but those of us on the liberty end of the political spectrum know it is each individual’s right and responsibility to balance their personal calories-in and calories-out equation. This is not a decision to surrender to government, yet voters have done just such. Funding Obamacare will mean it is too late for America to back down the steps of the gallows.

DEar DavE, When is it okay to purchase a house without making a 20 percent down payment? ~Hannah
Dear Hannah, When you’re willing to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI). And that’s not something you want to do. PMI costs about $75 a month per $100,000 borrowed. So, if you borrow $200,000 on a home, and you don’t put down at least 20 percent on the transaction, you’ll have to pay out an extra $150 a month as part of your mortgage payment. Private mortgage insurance does nothing for you except pay your mortgage company in the event they have to foreclose on you and they lose money. PMI is foreclosure insurance that protects the lender, and you get to pay for it if you don’t make a 20 percent down payment. In the scenario I mentioned before, that would be an additional $1,800 a year on a $200,000 loan. In a sense, that’s an extra 0.9 percent on your interest rate. That’s what it feels like. So you can see that PMI is not a positive thing. Often, a first-time homebuyer will purchase a house with 10 percent down then pay the other 10 percent as quickly as possible in order to get rid of the PMI. Stay away from it, Hannah. It’s nasty stuff! ~DaveDEar DavE, I have a close friend whose 17-year-old daughter is going to college to become a high-school band director. Her daughter wants to take out student loans to attend an expensive private school, and tuition alone over four years will cost $100,000. I feel this is a really bad idea, but I don’t know how to talk to her about this. ~Natalie
Dear Natalie, I’m sure your friend and her family are nice people. But what we’ve got here is a little teenage girl who has her heart set on something, and no one has told her no in a while. You’re getting ready to help introduce a new word into her vocabulary, because what you’ve described to me is stupid. Listen, I love high school band directors. It just doesn’t make sense to spend over $100,000 on a degree to become one. Most of them make about $30,000 a year, so the return on investment for this kind of thing is terrible. It doesn’t matter if you’re a band director, English teacher or a doughnut shop owner, you need to figure out what you’re going to make versus what you spend to get there. Make sure you talk to your friend directly, not her daughter. If you do that, you’ll end up branded as mom’s mean friend. Use your relationship and history together to help her see this is a train wreck waiting to happen. My suggestion would be for her daughter to live at home, work, and attend a community college for a couple of years. Then, when she transfers to a four-year school, make sure it’s a state institution and she keeps working. The trick is to kindly and gently maintain enough influence to guide these two weak people away from a horrible decision. At the same time, you’ve got to be strong enough to call mom out for not stepping up and providing proper guidance. Mommies who don’t try to stop their babies from doing things this dumb are known as bad mommies. People who spend $100,000 to $150,000 to make the kind of money that’s waiting on her daughter are either young and inexperienced, or they’re what are known as fools. I’m sure you’ll find a nice way to say it, but basically your friend needs to grow a backbone and tell her daughter no. ~Dave

Bill’sFood Corner
Dig right in to our newest regular guest column! Bill Hake invites you to test his recipes and his theories and tell us what
you think. And he takes “requests”! A while back I was asked what my favorite food would be, and as I tried to answer I realized I’d never given it any thought. My first answer was: there are so many great flavors that I can’t pick just one. As the conversation about food wore on, however, it came to mind that if I could never have another well seasoned and properly cooked rare beef steak, that would be a very hard pill to swallow. With all of the dishonest propaganda about beef coming from the so-called health gurus, vegans, PETA, and environmentalists, beef is still the most popular food product on the market. I have neither the space nor desire to enter into a discussion (argument) with biased ideologues about meat consumption. So, I’ll simply state my beliefs and end it there. Sugar, beyond a few teaspoons a day, is an addictive poison. (I know because I’m addicted.) Excessive sugar causes insulin resistance, insulin resistance is a precursor to diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cardiovascular disease. We all will pay a heavy price for excessive sugar consumption. Animal protein and animal fat are loaded with valuable nutrients that our body needs to stay healthy. The problem most of us have is that we consume more than we burn. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, herbs and spices fill out the diet. The best advice I can give is variety—the greater the variety of complex carbohydrates in the diet the greater the chance the body will have all the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. Weight and energy levels are the two best gauges to tell you if you are eating a healthy diet. If you are overweight by more than 20 pounds and/or are tired all the time, you need to overhaul your diet and increase your energy output. Good health is achieved through an active lifestyle, not with a nutrient deficient diet. Beef in our diet is a subject too expansive to cover in one article, so we will do a series of several articles on the different facets of beef preparation. The tougher cuts of beef yield the most flavor and tenderize nicely with long slow cooking, so let’s do a classic Beef Stroganoff in the crock pot.
Next issue we’ll cook a tender juicy steak. And to all you cow gals out there, I need your help. Send your good beef recipes to Bill’s Food Corner, PO Box 81, Turner, MT 59542. or [email protected]
Beef Stroganoff
Add butter to frying pan over medium-high heat and brown meat. You don’t have to cook the meat clear through, you are just browning it on the outside to add flavor. (The meat will brown better in small batches). Then, add onion and cook until onion starts to brown. Add all to crock pot. Return pan to heat and add beef broth and mushrooms to frying pan. Stir to release bits found on bottom of pan from frying the meat. Remove pan from heat and blend corn starch, mustard, Worcestershire and garlic into beef broth, then add to crock pot and stir all together to blend. Cover pot, set to low heat and cook until meat tests tender, 4 to 6 hours depending on crock pot. It will hold for several hours on warm if it finishes early. Before adding sour cream adjust gravy if necessary; add a little water if it’s too thick, if it’s too thin blend 1 Tbs. corn starch in 1/4 cup water, add and cook until gravy thickens or remove lid for last hour of cooking. Five minutes before serving stir in sour cream and cream cheese until well blended. Do not boil sour cream or it will break down. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve over country style noodles or mashed potatoes.
Tips: If your meat is warm and dry before frying it will brown better. For a different flavor you can omit the mustard and add 1 Tbs. paprika.
2 lb. Beef shoulder roast or round steak cut into bite size pieces. Do not trim away all of the fat. There should be about 15% fat with the meat. If you are worried about calories eat a smaller portion.4 oz. butter1 large onion cut to medium chunks1 can beef broth (10.5 oz.)
