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.
