Branding the fall calves

Here’s some pictures. Lots of wind, but I sure seen worse days in November, so I ain’t gonna complain. But my elbow is sore from trying to swing a loop in the wind!

Cool fall weather

About 35 degrees when I finally decided it had warmed up enough to go to work this morning. But the south wind is picking up. Horses were close so I opened the gate and shook a bucket and captured Mijo and Pilgrim. I saddled Mijo and then let him stand to warm his back whileContinue reading “Cool fall weather”

Town run

Cindy and I hauled a critter up to Newell to the butcher, for Chances crew, yesterday. We then headed to Sturgis, dropped the trailer off and did some odds and ends shopping. Cindy needed some work clothes and shoes and I needed to get my one hearing aid adjusted. We had to run back toContinue reading “Town run”

The great hunt

Had fun. Did not shoot one bird. I decided I needed heavier loads and better aim. But still had a lot of fun. Met quite a few new people and really enjoyed my traveling partner. I met him at Enning and we visited all the way down and back. We both tend towards ADHD soContinue reading “The great hunt”

Fall

I worked on the kennel/doghouse/old chicken house today. Made a couple of pens for dogs. Bob and Shadow want to whip up on Buck so he has been staying in the horse trailer. At times, that is a bit inconvenient. So I made a couple pens and left a large area so I could penContinue reading “Fall”

Hmmmmm….

Haven’t posed for a couple days. Not a lot going on. I did haul the last heifer up to the owner -the one we missed when we shipped them all home- yesterday and also took my 3 little yearling steers to Belle to the sale. I didn’t stay real long at the sale, but theyContinue reading “Hmmmmm….”

Shippin’

‘Tis the season for the reason! Or in other words,  the reason we all do what we do. For this day. When you “harvest” the crop. That crop being calves, mostly, in this country, tho’ some raise yearlings, but by and large, most raise cows who have calves, who get sold in the fall, barringContinue reading “Shippin’”

What we been doing

Yesterday the urchins insisted we drive the team so we went down south and picked up the empty lick and mineral barrels and some posts. Then this morning we went over to Bud’s and worked Buck on some sheep. He liked them! 😉 When we got home I hung a gate I had patched up,Continue reading “What we been doing”

This the good stuff!

Just got this in an email from a friend, evidently in response to my posts of the grandkids AKA: the miniature terrorists! I am trying to get him to start a blog and post more of this kind of stuff. He writes remarkable stuff, but has no idea how good it is. Please, if youContinue reading “This the good stuff!”

6:55 am update

46 degrees out at 6 this morning. Terrorists are still sleeping.   Question, can you stop someones ability to reproduce, retroactively?     😉
