Started out kind of cool and some wind but it slowly went down all day. By this evening when I rope up north to move some heifers it was almost calm. Real loverly evening. I took the spade and cut burdock off at the roots around the shed and corrals this morning. Made me sweat!Continue reading “Nice day”

A whole bunch of females to deal with….
Been going to branding the last 3 days. Almost to the point of not being fun…. Nahh! It’s still fun! Got the last of the yearlings in yesterday. Mostly heifers.I took Bob and Buck and moved them up in to Harry’s tonight. Here’s pics. Click to make them grander… 😉 Sure was a nice day.
Another branding
First branding
Nice day, good crew, god calves.
‘Nuther nice one….
I kept the horses out behind the house last night so this morning I lured them in with some grain, caught up Beaver and rode out around the shrinking drop bunch. No new ones. Rode up to see if the pairs I kicked up the lane had made it out. Yup. This afternoon I tookContinue reading “‘Nuther nice one….”
Another pretty day
Not too hot, not too much wind. Bart came this morning and got the butcher steer so fresh beef in a couple weeks. I had a stupid dream this morning that woke me about 4 am so I have been sleepy all day. After dinner (fresh liver and onions and HORSE RADISH!!!) I had aContinue reading “Another pretty day”
Hot!
Got up to 80 or there about, I guess. Not much wind, just a soft breeze. Cindy and I fed the cows, and hauled an old water tank in for her to plant stuff in. Then off to Punkin Center to get her lawn mower checked out for the season. Ate some lunch and thenContinue reading “Hot!”
What a gorgeous day!
About 60 and just a soft wind/breeze out of the south east. Brad brought the filly back this morning and he was on his way to an auction so brought a video he made of what he was doing with her. Cindy rode Beaver tonight and I rode the filly and we went up westContinue reading “What a gorgeous day!”
Nice day
I scurried around this morning and got my chores done then loaded up a few yearlings and hauled them to St Onge to the sale. Of course, they were some of the last ones to sell, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. I sat and wrote down quite a few butcher cows weights.Continue reading “Nice day”
More rain
Got a little this morning. Not a lot, but it all helps. Cindy said it was drizzling and foggy when she left at 4:30. I kept Woody in so I gathered the horses from north of the barn and then rode around the cows. No new calve in the night. Fed some hay to theContinue reading “More rain”
