Got the calves all sold yesterday. Well, the ones we hauled down. I kept the paints and a couple small ones and a couple heifers for Tate and Kass. Calves weighed less than last year and brought more per pound so penciled out better. My clutch went out after we got there and got theContinue reading “Sunday Oct 17, 10”

Chance and Hope and boys got here yesterday evening. It is fun to have little kids in the house in the morning. Noisy, but fun! 🙂 We will go move some cows around today so they will be closer to gather and sort the calves off to go to the sale. Sounds like it’s goingContinue reading “Friday Oct 15, 10”

I haven’t been doing anything to exciting. Picked up Cindy on the way down to Custer to see the kids and do a little fishing, on Sunday, with no luck. Moved some cattle around on Monday. Helped a neighbor ship their calves yesterday. Then Tyler came out and we looked for a turkey for himContinue reading “Boring”

Shipping yearlings home today. I rode out yesterday and moved them a little closer to the buildings. Rained last night and supposed to rain a little more this morning. About .40 hundreds according to the weather on the interweb. Wind will blow, of course. Ahh, shipping time!

Got the pasture calves shipped. I messed up. We had decided to do them on Sunday but I got it mixed up. When we had them in and sorted I called the guy and asked if that was the right day and he said, no it wasn’t, but it would actually work better. So theyContinue reading “Oct 7, 10”

Chance and Hope and boys were home this weekend. We shipped some steers on Saturday and just rode a little on Sunday. Cindy and I went to a party for the people she works with, on Saturday afternoon and evening. First time I ever ate Walleye. Not bad. Still tastes like fish tho’, but notContinue reading “Oct 4, 10”

Rode down in the grazing association today and helped gather and sort cattle. Here’s some pictures. Remember to click on them to embigintate! 🙂 Jeffro, when you drop down into the Cheyenne at Bridger, you are just down stream from these pictures, a couple miles.

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”
