On the way home we stopped over at Red Owl and put a flag on Great Grampa’s grave. HeContinue reading “Windy Tuesday”

My brother was in just at the end of Viet Nam. My son served in Iraq. I have relatives serving now. Active and inactive. IContinue reading “Memorial Day”
Medora
All the way up and back it was green, green, green! I don’t know as you people in the eastern part of the country know how good that feels, to see that, for us here in the high desert plains states. Oh sure, there is mumbling and grumbling about work not getting done, but itContinue reading “Medora”
Tared!
As they say down south, meaning, tired. Helped Lyle and Cindy trail pairs to summer pasture yesterday. Went well. Good crew, good weather. We did pick up one little feller who was moving slow and he rode in the back of Danny W’s rig that Danny and Jesse were driving, opening and shutting gates. SawContinue reading “Tared!”

At the time he was thinking tripping them was real cool so was practicing it at every chance he got. He found a heifer whoContinue reading “Boats and cowboys”
Long day

Really good day, tho’ when we started dragging calves the gumbo in the pen was so muddy after about 3 calves your rope wasContinue reading “Long day”
Rain and more rain
On Sunday I and a couple neighbors drove over to another neighbors to brand. It drizzled on us all day while we sorted off the calves and worked the cows then we decided to run the calves thru’ and give them over eating shots, just in case. We put the calves in a shed andContinue reading “Rain and more rain”
