Looks like a filly! Dangit! We went down to Hope and Chances for supper last night. Chance put up a swing for the boys. Sam had been playing in the mud. Who couldn’t love a face like this? Got yearling’s in today. The rest come in tomorrow. Another branding to go to. Other than havingContinue reading “Look what I found”

Chance took Jake to his first branding. He did pretty good for a big ol’ colt who ain’t been rode much. I took Mijo. He handled it well. We sorted the calves at the gate and only slipped a few by. More my fault than his, I’m sure. He handled the roping and dragging likeContinue reading “4th branding”

From the branding yesterday.Tice had great gramma’s from both sides there yesterday.

Kind of chilly this morning. We had a little rain and the wind is blowing. Went to my 4th branding yesterday. Mijo did well. Drug some calves out of a small pen and thru’ a pretty tight crowd holding the calves. He watched everything but took it all well. Gramma stopped off at Chance andContinue reading “Wet and windy”

Went well. Wind blew, but hey, this is South Dakota after all! It’s to be expected. Whining about it won’t make it quit or go away. If it did we would never have even a breeze. I am sick and tired of people who are sick and tired of the wind and bitch about it.Continue reading “3rd branding”

Mijo went to his second and I drug one pen of calves with him. The more we did the better he got. Go another one on Wednesday. Another Thursday and another Saturday. I think he’s gonn’a be a pretty broke horse in a week. Chance went along and I got a good picture of himContinue reading “2nd branding”

Went well. Chance rode him and drug some calves. He was pretty tight, Mijo that is, but he did well. He sure has got a fluid drive! Got another branding tomorrow.

Gramma holding Crackerjack Woody and Roz jumped in with the mares and colts so I brought them in to get them re-sorted. I noticed Crackerjacks feet were terribly long, so when Gramma got home she held him as I trimmed him. Then seeing as he was acting snorty, we messed with him and I saddledContinue reading “Crackerjack”
