If it ain’t one thing….
it’s another. While we were putting salt out last evening, we got a leak in the pickup tire. So we hurried home and then this morning after we went and fixed some fence and set gates so we could move the heifers to fresh grass, we took the pickup tire off and hauled it overContinue reading “If it ain’t one thing….”
Puttin’ up hay the old way, with helpers
That’s what we been doin’. My helpers are pretty good at stompin’ the hay if you don’t work them too long. Mostly, they want to RIDE, since I have gotten ’em horseback. Dang cowboys!
Foggy out
this morning. Pretty cool. Good sleeping weather, with the windows open. ‘Course a grasshopper might come in and eat everything in the house if you do! 😉 There is a clinic going on up at Brad’s, so me and the boys went up for awhile the other morning. Bridgette came out and rode along forContinue reading “Foggy out”

Me and the grandsons went out this morning and built a removable back end on the little flat bed wagon so we can pitch hay on, but take the back off if we need to haul little square bales. My yearling heifer guy andContinue reading “Another thunderstorm”
Another day in the sunshine

Went and picked up some old oak poles Dusty gave me years ago. they are in surprisingly good shape, for as long as they have lain around. HopeContinue reading “Whew!”
Odds and ends
Me and the boys ran down to Punkin Center the other day and ate lunch and picked up some rail road ties for posts. Also some more calf feed. We dug holes for the posts yesterday and took off a gate and set a new post for it. Gramma got home about then, so sheContinue reading “Odds and ends”
I’ll be darned
Found my little black bull. He was with the rest of the bulls! (insert emoticon of guy slapping forehead!) Evidently I miscounted when I sorted them. Not unusual, but usually the other way. After Gramma got home we drove to look and checked the bulls and found him so then drove over to the pairsContinue reading “I’ll be darned”
Hmmmm
Rode Beaver up the creek after Cindy got home to watch the boys. Found and doctored the bad eyed heifer but did not find the little black bull. Hmmm….
