Kevin Hinkebein raises elk and cattle

on his MO Natural Ranch.  Why elk? 

They provide not only elk meat, but their

antler velvet is used in alternative

medicines.  Plus, as you can see, they

look great just standing around in the field!

Genevieve, St. Francois, Perry, Cape Girardeau, and Scott).
