Chance and Hubba, from Hubba’s House fame, and I went out to Newcastle yesterday to try and raise some money for a buddy who is fighting cancer. They had a silent auction, a regular auction and a supper. Had a great time and made some music and got home about 1 this morning. Got up about 6 so I could go to church. Then some people showed up and we gathered our little bunch of cows after dinner and we roped and held the calves for their fall shots and wormer/bug control. I think the calves had less stress than if we had took them away from their mothers and shoved and shouted and fought them down a chute. Chutes are made so people can do things faster, not better, in my opinion.
Went great other than the wind came up and got to blowing about 35 mph and took a lot of the fun out of it. Had a couple of young adults here from Germany who work for the lady who came to help. Nice kids and we sure enjoyed them and sure appreciated Brandy coming over to help. Here’s some shots.
By the way, Eric is the neighbor who starts most of my colts and the other guy in the pictures roping with Chance. Good hand. Wish he’d get to riding some more of my colts! LOL
Hope gave th shots and Dennis ( the young German feller with a great first name 😉 ) squirted the wormer /insecticide on. Never got a shot of the young lady. She watched us work/play and kept an eye on Brandy’s little boy, Emmet.
Afterwards we came in the house, ate, drank and played and sang songs. Great day, all in all.

Looks like it was a fantastic and fun day! Maybe a little work mixed in there!:)
Sounds like a fun day! Mylar is that stiff plastic.
Looks like it was a blast! I miss doing that from when my dad had our ranch.
