offering water for the stock and a haven for the pheasants and whitetail
deer. Located a short distance from the Yellowstone River, waterfowl
frequent the area.

this owned and operated Waldo Farms and greenhouse, providing bedding
plants to local businesses in Dawson and Prairie Counties. This was a
family owned business with a reputation for quality and service.
