Philosateleian Post to issue stamp picturing Western cattle

On January 30, 2023, Philosateleian Post will participate in World Local Post Day by issuing a stamp picturing Western cattle not in a storm.

The 1-stamp stamp pictures a herd of cattle in the San Antonio, Texas, area, with the caption—“Western Cattle Not in Storm”—being a nod to the famous $1 “Western Cattle in Storm” United States stamp issued in 1898.

“My family and I can often see cattle from our own home,” says Philosateleian Post’s proprietor, Kevin Blackston. “Cattle are closely associated with the state of Texas, and I could think of no more appropriate animal to feature on Philosateleian Post’s stamp for World Local Post Day 2023.”

The Local Post Collectors Society celebrates World Local Post Day on the final Monday in January each year. Local wildlife was chosen as the official WLPD topic for 2023.
