What did I get done so far today? I caught Mijo and rode north and moved a few heifers. Took the dogs along and did a lot of hollering at Bob. Came back and the wind was not right to move the rest north so decided to wait until later. Drove over to Punkin CenterContinue reading “Lets see…….”

Excitement
Saddled up Mijo and rode south to move some cattle. As I got near the old house I heard some splashing sounds from,here. So I rode closer to investigate. Hmm, the old dry well. Wonder what’s in there splashing around?? Uh oh! I loped home and got the tractor and loader and went to digging. Continue reading “Excitement”
Watergaps

Watergaps When the rains come fallin’ down It just wipes away my frown My whole life is plumb wonderful again ItContinue reading “Watergaps”
Hither and yon
Had Chad come down the other day to look at the well at the old house. Looks like it needs a new pressure tank. I tried to doctor a couple little bulls with foot rot with the crossbow and med-i-darts but the darts wouldn’t hold air to push the vaccine out. so Rick and CadenContinue reading “Hither and yon”

It made me think of all the flooding going on up here and the drought in the south. Dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a Moses said to the people: “Remember how forContinue reading “The Lord works in mysterious ways”

Norm Harris out in Idaho got the bit for me and Larry Fuegen down in Arizona made the sliding bit hangers for me. Larry was raised in SD, down by Reliance. Good feller and makes some greatContinue reading “Yeeeeehawwwwww”
Fathers day
So far I spent it going to Mass and with Gus as he came home with me last night from the branding. Gramma will be home later and seeing as she is the one who made me a Dad, I guess we will spend Fathers Day together. Might go drown a worm later or something.Continue reading “Fathers day”
A good branding
Good crew and good hands and I sure enjoy it. they brand for 3 days and I wish I could go for every day but other commitments keep me from it. We pen the cattle, sort a few cows off and go to roping. head and heel the calves which most would think would beContinue reading “A good branding”
