Not as warm but little to no wind and just real purty. I ran into Sturgis and got my drivers license…finally! I tell you, I don’t see how there can be any illegals in this country as much trouble as it is for a citizen to get a license! Had to take almost every pieceContinue reading “Another nice day…”

‘Nuther nice one
Warm enough and no wind to speak of. Chance and Hope went to town with sick kids. they were in there yesterday and Chance had strep so they got a bunch of antibiotics but none for Sam or Addy Bear…hope they get it all fixed up. Sounds like it’s some nasty stuff and the DoctorContinue reading “‘Nuther nice one”
Pictures from the last few days…
Beautiful weather
Warm, up in the 60’s anyway…. Chance and Hope took Addy Bear and Gus and dropped Gus off at the bus stop and then went in to town to do some business and left Sam here with me. So we went and caught up the team, harnessed them and got a bale and fed partContinue reading “Beautiful weather”

We sat until we could see and then started gathering. got them penned sorted the calves off, sexedContinue reading “More shipping”
Well….
We lost an old friend around here. Squirt, a little half horse. Chance found him dead in the corral this morning…. He wasn’t real pretty, or of great conformation, but he sure made a lot of little cowboys and cowgirls happy over the years…. He was born on this ranch, out of a little ShetlandContinue reading “Well….”
