HLCC's People
HLCC would not be what it is now without the benefit of its fine roster of employees. Over the years, many
have helped the HLCC operation, some as full-time employees, others as part-time (day-help) workers. We at HLCC
thought this would be a fitting place to recognize some of our past and present help, as well as the operation's ownership
and management.

When not helping HLCC,
David is an artist and creator of Western Fine Art. David was born on part of what is now the HLCC ranch, as his family
used to lease that portion. Many of David's paintings are inspired by his work on this ranch. Visit David Graham
Art, to learn about David's western art.

There is an interesting side-note, perhaps best mentioned here. Pat was raised on part of the ranch that now makes up HLCC.
His parents, and eventually him, leased that portion for nearly 30 years, when the ranch was still owned by the Bradshaw Family.
Drought and depressed markets in the 1980's forced the Grahams to give up the lease. But the land has a way of bringing people
together, as was the case in 2000. After serving stints in several other fields, namely MSU Extension and banking, Pat accepted
the offer to manage HLCC. So the Harding family's desire to grow and improve their operation and Pat's desire
to get back to a ranching way of life has come together to form a joint effort now entering its 7th year.
