Harlowton Hot Cereal to be Featured on QVC Cream of the West, makers of the iconic ‘cowboy’ hot cereal in Harlowton, Montana, will feature some of their products on QVC on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 3:00 PM Mountain Time. It’s a big step and increased exposure for the nearly 100 year old Montana company. “We almost didn’t make it!” said Alicia Moe, one of the owner/operators. “We were initially slated to be on QVC in November of 2010, but our tractor trailer load of products was caught in a big snowstorm back East and we missed our initial time slot.” It could’ve been disastrous; Cream of the West had produced and shipped 2,000 special packages, designed exclusively for QVC. The company learned of the new March time slot via an email just last week. Cream of the West started making their 100% whole grain cereals in 1914. The company moved to Harlowton in 2002, and has expanded their offerings to include Flapjack Mix, Breading Mix, Snack Mix and a line of 100% organic products in addition to their 100% natural whole grain cereals. Meet some of the team from Cream of the West at the Made in Montana Marketplace at the Great Falls Civic Center on March 25 and 26, 2010, tune in to see their products on QVC at 3:00 PM Mountain time on Wednesday, March 30, 2011, or visit Cream of the West online at www.creamofthewest.com for more information. - End -
Thought you would enjoy this picture of our visitors today. Ten Red Hat Ladies chose Cream of the West for their bimonthly outing. Seven “Castle Mountain Red Hats” travelled 60 miles east from White Sulphur Springs, some ”Moore Red Hats” – two to be exact – drove 45 miles south from Moore, and one lone “Harlo Hatter” came from down the street. Bobby took them on a plant tour, Alicia answered questions about the operation and Liane sold them Flapjack Mix, Seasoned Breading Mix and Crunch. Before they left, Bobby got hugs from every one of them….which he secretly enjoyed. He declares he has a way with the young and old – it’s the middle that causes the problems! The Hatters were delightful…and a good time was had by all!!! …this blog comes to you compliments of Liane & Alicia
What’s it take to return one 2-day old Romping Runaway to his Moo-ing Mama?
Which adds up to… One Happy Ending!

Red Hatters liven up CW’s St. Paddy’s Day!
We had a cow jumping over the moon incident last night that I wished I’d captured on camera. The scene is our corral which has a 10 foot manure mountain in the center of it. The cow started calving outside and Richard and I were trying to get her into the barn. She wasn’t having any of it, racing around the corral rather athletically for a cow in the throes of birth. I went behind the manure mountain to cut her off when she suddenly sailed up and over it. We stood looking up rather in awe. If there’d been a moon out, it would have been perfect. She got her way and calved outside and then we took the calf into the barn. This morning, we took extra help plus a camera, determined to get her into the barn. Luckily, she reenacted the feat before she headed in to take care of her calf. Both cow and calf are now in the barn, out of the snow and cold.
