Cool and wet
Getting some rain this morning. Little wind with it. About 50 out. Took Colonel to the vet yesterday and got him gelded then drove down and did some banking at Philip. I need to work on getting all the stuff ready for branding on Sunday. Was invited to a branding up north of Chance andContinue reading “Cool and wet”
Photo’s of the branding
I didn’t get to take many while I was dragging calves. I roped off Mijo and drug calves, straight up in the bridle for the first time. He handled it well. Got pretty warm, but we had a stiff breeze to cool us off. Cows penned the best they ever have and the sorting wentContinue reading “Photo’s of the branding”
Another good branding
Tired but here’s some photos from trailing cattle yesterday. Branding photo’s tomorrow.
Movin’ cows
Up at 3 am to catch and saddle Peaches, load in the trailer and head to one neighbor, pick him and his horse up and head out to be at another neighbors to trail cows at 4:30. We were a little early. Cows moved good for awhile, but about a mile and a half toContinue reading “Movin’ cows”

Kass and the kids came out yesterday to get their beef and the boys rode Beaver around in the corral. I think it’s gonnaContinue reading “Lots warmer”
Windy Tuesday
It’s really howling. Gusts to almost 50 mph. Sure drying out the mud! But up to almost 60 degrees. Cindy and I ran into town yesterday. Got some flowers and put them on the folks graves. On the way home we stopped over at Red Owl and put a flag on Great Grampa’s grave. HeContinue reading “Windy Tuesday”
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!”
Windy
Sure is drying the wet out, but not to worry, we got a little more yesterday evening. I caught up Peaches and rode south to move some yearlings around and shut and open gates, checked on the tank I had turned on, drug a couple lick barrels of mineral into a fresh pasture for theContinue reading “Windy”
