About TLC
Web Developer, Joan L. Thorne
Most people are surprised that I am a webmaster. The first thing they ask is how did you get into creating websites? I created my first website design in 1998 for our cattle ranch, A. W. Thorne Land and Cattle, Inc. Our success in the search engines and high ratings has kept us in the cattle business. I was asked by family and friends to create their websites over the years and today we have a great group. I enjoy assisting them to achieve their marketing goals. Keeping it simple and affordable.
Today we celebrate twenty years of website design. We would like to thank our great customers who have become treasured friends. Agricultural Related, Farm and Ranch, Equine and Cowboy Related, Small Businesses, Non-Profit Organizations and Event Websites. Every business today requires internet and social accounts to keep exposed to changing times. That is how people shop today! It’s a fact and mobile shopping is taking 85 to 95% of the stage.
I grew up on Herrington Ranch in the Sandhills of North Central Nebraska a Commercial Hereford operation, with my parents, Ray and Wanda and two brothers, Tom and Bill. We drove 32 miles one way to high school and were part of the ranch crew. We helped feed, hay, and work cattle. Swinging a rope was required on this ranch so I spent many countless hours horseback. In 1969 I graduated from high school with my major love of literature and business courses. Little did I know that I would use all those skills that I learned back then. I married my high school sweetheart and we raised four great girls that were in everything from; School Activities, 4-H Club, Roping Club and Sports. We were married for twenty eight years. I was Office Manager for a major livestock auction while my four daughters were growing up and when the last one went off to College. I made a life changing decision and moved to Lincoln, NE, where I went to work for a Cattle Association. That is where I met my husband, Albert (Abbie) Thorne. We have been happily married for over twenty years. We raise Simmental and Maine-Anjou Cattle. We love what we do and offer; Breeding Bulls, Open Heifers, Semen and Embryos from our private inventory. Still one of my most favorite times is calving. I also enjoy clipping and halter breaking cattle that we offer to our grandchildren and other families to show.
My love for the Cattle Industry and Cattle People is self evident in the number of cattle sites I manage for several breeds. I enjoy assisting them market their cattle for production sales, private treaty sales and internet sales. If we can assist you in developing a website that reflects your operation we would love the opportunity to work with you. “Designs for Cattle People by Cattle People”
