Today: September 15, I finally got the last few loads out of the old place. Officially, the old store is more gone than todays bison. And I have a grand new plan. Bob and I are creating a "List"; we will add to it every day and deduct things on the list that have "gone away". It is intended to be all the remaining crazy sale items ... but we will add things as we dig them out from the move. I Expect that the "List" will be an ongoing project well towards the end of this year ... I have that much "stuff" to get gone. The list is being called "Out with the Old" You have to request the list; we won't bother the rest of you who don't care about the wild price reductions on things like bison leather vests, low inventory gloves, jewelry, special knives, art prints, books and so much more. I will have a separate email address up here very shortly. You email and ask for "The Out with the Old list". You can ask for it just once; or weekly or monthly (not doing daily just yet). See something on the "list" you want, write me at my regular email (not the new special list request email, please). We will work out the details. The New Goodnight "Distribution Center" is receiving visitors already. If you want to come by, call me -817-992-8220 as far in advance as you can! The freezers are well stocked with bison steaks, bison brats and hot dogs, some burgers still left, some of our "buffalo cocaine" .... well, that's what a bunch of the bison jerky "addicts" call Gehl's Kippered Bison jerky. Still a little bison corned brisket, as well. Isaac promises the "new" website look is really close to done! STAY TUNED!
The New Goodnight "Distribution Center" is open. If you want to come by, call me -817-992-8220 a far in advance as you can! STAY TUNED!

BOOKS - A History of the JA Ranch (Reprint)

by Buffalo Gold/Herd Wear Retail Store
$24.50
Style

By Harley True Burton

This is a reprint from the original 1934 article published in the Texas Historical Quarterly ... and just fascinating.  Ledgers with income, animal count, workers ... the whole of the ranch Goodnight founded for and with John Adair; at one time 361 square miles of contiguous canyon, creeks, grazing ... and historical territory.

We have just recently had the newer spiral bound re-printed .. and got a much better price for the same material (actually easier to read and flip pages!!)

As Good A Read as Herdwear is a Store

Couldn't put this book down until the last page was read. Really enjoyed reading more about Mr. Charles Goodnight, but was especially impressed with his wife's spunk and spirit. Didn't know that she is really the one we have to thank for bottle feeding that young group of bison calves from which the Herd ultimately sprang.
The detailed account of the round up routine was excellent

I loved this book, and the fabulous history surrounding it

I have enjoyed a deeper dive into the JA Ranch and Charles Goodnight. I think Herd Wear an amazing source for our amazing Panhandle history especially in our Ranching heritage and all the culture around Palo Duro Canyon.

A Treasured Glimpse

Thank you so much or reprinting this little book.

It is a treasured glimpse into a formative time into the history of an epic chapter of the story of our people and this land.
