Text: 1. The foal crop Elizabeth claims a one-half interest of the foal crop. The magistrate concluded the foals were community property and awarded them to Reed. Elizabeth has not shown how this award was unfair or in error, especially since the community property was not equally divided, but was divided in her favor. 2. Hunting and fishing equipment and yard tools Elizabeth also claims an interest in Reed's hunting and fishing equipment and yard tools. The magistrate found that Reed acquired both the hunting and fishing equipment and yard tools prior to the February 23, 1997, ceremonial marriage, and therefore, these items were his separate property. Since the February 23, 1997, date is the proper marriage date for purposes of property characterization and division the magistrate's finding in this regard is affirmed.
