Rain and thunder
We got some yesterday evening. Afterwords it showed about a half an inch in the bucket on the step. Then last night about bed time it set in again.

Kids
and grandkids. Tate and Kass came out last night, so me and Gabe and Lige went and fed Fred. Fred just wants to suck on peoples legs and arms, anywhere he thinks there might be some milk. Greedy, hungry little sucker! He doesn’t even buck when children set on his back! Just keeps backing up,Continue reading “Kids”
Got them done
Started on a new set of spur straps fro myself. Finally got them done. Wish I had left a bit more border, other than that, I think I will like them.

Photo’s of the branding
I didn’t get to take many while I was dragging calves. I roped off Mijo and drug calves, straight up in the bridle for the first time. He handled it well. Got pretty warm, but we had a stiff breeze to cool us off. Cows penned the best they ever have and the sorting wentContinue reading “Photo’s of the branding”
