David Gibson

David Gibson was a quiet man with the bluest of eyes, a heart of gold, and a gentle soul. The Crazy Mountains were his cathedrals, and early morning was his favorite time. Always ready to help, he shared his vast knowledge in all aspects of agriculture with anyone eager to learn – and even with those not so eager to learn but who needed to be taught the cowboy ways. He was an inventor, a mechanical genius, and a fixer of all things who held a patent on the Gibson Round Bale Feeder.
