Had one new calf when I looked this morning. Rode Mijo and rode him just with the reins and never had to touch the bosal until we got in a minor configulation with some pairs I was moving. He stuck his left hind foot thru’ the wires of a barbed wire gate I opened offContinue reading “Another good day”

Fred’s Adventure
I’ve taken to calling the bucket calf, Fred. I don’t know why. Just seems to fit. When I go out with his bottle and go into the back of the shed where he’s been being kept, I holler at him, “Come on Fred.” And he see’s me and here he comes to devour the bottleContinue reading “Fred’s Adventure”
Another nice day
Got up in the 50’s and we had a little wind, but real nice. Went and rebuilt one of the creek crossings then moved the cows across the road into the 80 this afternoon. I’d rode Mijo around the fence in the morning and checked fences and shut gates. Not too bad of fence forContinue reading “Another nice day”
Alleluia!
Alleluia! He has risen! Happy and blessed Easter tidings to all!
Ahhh, springtime

He feels and listens for the clues as toContinue reading “Ahhh, springtime”
Christel and Beaver
Finally got a nice enough day to get Christel ahorseback. She done good.
Cold
I caught one. From Christel. She probably got it on the plane over here. They tell me that they recycle the air in the planes for the whole flight. Oh well, this too shall pass. Snowing this morning. Muddy. That’s cool. Mud doesn’t last nearly as long as dust, around here. Been getting a coupleContinue reading “Cold”
Cousin’s
Had a great visit with Kevin and Ruth yesterday evening. In the course of the conversation, Kevin told this story on himself. Seems he was toodling along in his VW pickup and was coming to an intersection with a red light, so he kicked it out of gear and was slowing down for it. JustContinue reading “Cousin’s”
Oh, man!
Just got in and checked my emails. This is one sent by an old friend I grew up with. Thanks Mike. Really made me laugh! Around age 10 my dad got me one of those little compound bow beginner kits. Of course, the first month I went around our land sticking arrows in anything that couldContinue reading “Oh, man!”
Another good day
I tried to sort off all the pairs this morning, but the non calved cows decided different and went where I was putting the pairs. seeing as I was supposed to take off and go to Chance and Hopes, I left them all together. I hope to get them all sorted tomorrow. No new calves.Continue reading “Another good day”
