BRIGHAM CITY — It started out as a 1948 Allis-Chalmers W Speed Patrol tractor, on the job maintaining and grading roads in rural Idaho.

After being rotated out of the county’s fleet, an Idaho farmer used it to grade his roads and do other miscellaneous jobs before consigning it.

That’s when a Utahn bought it off a used-equipment lot near Preston, Idaho. It could have ended with a rat’s nest in the front, gooey oil and water in the rear, and a body of rust.

But it didn’t.

ANDERSON, S.C. -- Caroline Davis, 17, toyed with the idea of being a nurse or a teacher when she was younger.

But now she's settled on working with cattle since she's enrolled in agriculture classes in high school. She said she plans to study veterinary medicine and embryology in college, and eventually wants, along with her brother, to take over her grandfather's farm.
