Combine trucking with sheep raising near Olena
Barbara Kramer and her husband Melvin pair trucking with a 217 acre Olena farming operation and a 54 acre Hartland Center Road property. Once trucking full time since 1953, Kramer notes bleaker sheep days after a dog attack cut stock from about 50 to 22.
