Worked on  re-building a fence yesterday. Got up in the 80’s so maybe wasn’t the best day. But I got it done. Scott Vance came down and looked at the steers that were summered here. We found a dead one. There was one who just had been a dink all summer and I think itContinue reading “9/29/10”

Today is Tate’s birthday. Don’t seem like it was just 28 years ago today. I do remember that he made us lose some sleep even at that early of an age, as he was born early in the morning. Kelvin flew home on Saturday. I will miss him around here. But he left some stuff,Continue reading “Sept 27, 10”

Rain. About an inch. Kelvin and I and Rick drove over to Sheridan yesterday and then up to Custer’s Last Stand and then home on 212. Kelvin had never seen the monument. We didn’t stay very long but got to check some of it out. Great day and lots of pretty country. Tomorrow we headContinue reading “9/23/10”

Kelvin and I and others, spent the last two days gathering in the breaks and then working the cattle. Got most of them gathered yesterday with not a lot of riders. Went back and gathered the remnants today and got them all worked. Left a lot of horse tracks and had some sore butts. Here’sContinue reading “Sept 21, 10”

Kelvin and I took off this morning, trailer and horses in tow, and went up to the Hills and rode to Harney Peak and back. Took 3 hours up and about 2 and 1/2 back down. Pretty! Pretty rough in some spots. All the hikers wanted our horses. None had enough money to buy them!Continue reading “9/17/10”

Slept in ’til almost 7 this morning. Next two mornings will be early starts. Kelvin and I rode west and north looking for the lost bull. No luck. But I snapped some pictures. Be sure to click to make them bigger, Sally.

More cattle work for me and Kelvin today. We worked the pairs I am summering. Neighbor helped and all went well. Kelvin and Beav made a real cool looking move on a bulls he was sorting. I tell this guy is gettin’ to be a good hand! Then this afternoon we got Cindy to rideContinue reading “Monday 9/13/2010”

9 years ago that they crashed the Towers. Who would have guessed then that the things that are going on today in this country and around the world would be like this? Kelvin and I went to the Hills on Thursday and helped Dustin and his boss work some cattle. Had a great ride andContinue reading “Saturday Sept 11, 2010”

Yes the wind is blowing, but it didn’t get too serious about it until after dinner. Yesterday, Kelvin and I brought the cows in and with the help of Fr Tyler vaccinated the calves with their fall shots and poured them with Ivemec. Then Kelvin and I drove up just south of Buffalo, SD andContinue reading “Windsday Sept 8, 2010”

The gig at Devils Tower was great! Bonnie, Marty and Paul really wowed them. The crowd was even polite enough to clap for me and my sorry pickin’ and poems! Got 1.10 rain last night and this morning! Woohoo! Just what the doctor ordered. Cindy Kass and Cindy’s mom, Karen, canned peaches and plum jellyContinue reading “Labor Day 2010”
