    Shearing day marks a season of tradition for the Smith family

    After nearly 23 years of raising alpacas, Greg and Sandy Smith say the happiest day of the year is shearing day. They normally shear at the end of May, near Memorial Day. “The animals don’t necessarily enjoy the process of being sheared, but are happy, and cooler, when it’s done,” says Greg.

    Service and sacrifice

    On Memorial Day, people across South Dakota and the nation will gather for parades, backyard barbeques, and the unofficial start of summer. American flags will wave proudly in our communities, cemeteries will be decorated with flowers, and families will plan for long weekends spent together.

    The Missouri River is probably the longest navigable river in the United States, the distance from its mouth, twenty-five miles above St. Louis, Missouri, to Fort Benton, Montana, the practical head of navigation, is 3,185 miles.
