Sheeptales Gathering to Feature Hank Vogler in 2014
On Friday, October 10, 2014, outspoken Nevada sheep rancher, Hank Vogler, will share his deep love for ranching through stories sprinkled with humor. He is known for his quick wit, liberty with words and common sense. He is a regular host on Rural Radio, a radio show with a mission of bridging rural and urban America.
Henry Volger the Fourth (Hank) spent every possible moment on his grandparent’s ranch as a boy. He thought he’d never leave the Island Ranch; that he would spend his life here. But, at age 15, his world basically ended. “There was nothing left and no reason to even exist because the Island Ranch was gone.”
He married his high school sweetheart, earned his B.A. in Agriculture, worked hard and started his own ranch, “The Need More Sheep Company.” Today, Hank and a large coalition of ranchers and environmentalists are fighting a plan by the Southern Nevada Water Authority to divert water from ranches all over the state to Las Vegas via massive pipelines. The SNWA is purchasing ranches for millions of dollars over appraised value, just for the water rights. No real rancher can compete.
We will also invite a small panel of old-time ranchers to join him and share their stories. There is no one that we know that is so beloved by generations of sheep ranchers as Hank Vogler. He makes people comfortable. He makes people laugh. Don’t miss the stories and irreplaceable snapshots of life in the west.
I think it is really funny that he married his high school sweet heart, but no comments are mention of how that ended up and that his second marriage ended ,no mention of his first family and his second family and how that ended up no mention of his children from first marriage no mention of his children in his second marriage . Only of what a wonderful family man he is. cmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
I am very sorry to hear that there was a second family, since the first one was probably irreplaceable. Oh, the mistakes we make as we travel thru our time on this planet.
How is Nevada doing for water these days?
But the fact is he did replace them , and the mistakes we make as we travel thru time , are suppose to teach us something!!! Old sheepherders have many secrets.
Now the great sheep rancher is investing in a whore house in Nevada and the whore he was sleeping with while he was still married is living in his house with him . Who gives a sheep about water when he that sleeps with whores only needs one thing !!!!
