Kessel family — Jen and Joey Kessel, with son Cord and baby Coy, said they know they can't save anyone's ranch with their donation of five bred heifers but they hope they can lighten the load. They're donating to and locally coordinating the Heifers for South Dakota program to help after the October snow and wind storm.
