Song
Windy today. But up in the 50’s, so not that big of a deal. While working on my Lenten guitar lessons this morning, I came across a new chord progression and got to thinking of a poem Ken Cook sent me some time back. At the time I told him it would make a greatContinue reading “Song”
Sunday, March 21/11
Another nice day, tho’ the wind has blown pretty hard the past few days. Went to Mass at 10 and we had a crowd. Nice to see a full church. Especially them young folks with the little kids. Harnessed up the horses and waited for Cindy, then went and fed the cows. Afterwards I droppedContinue reading “Sunday, March 21/11”
More Public Lands Rancing
Here are some pictures from a wild cow catching crew in Arizona. Hmm, wonder why there are wild cattle to be caught in that country? With all that good cheap feed looks like they would all be real tame, don’t it?
Working Wren
I putted around and worked on a saddle this morning and cut out some new quarter strap to fix the harness we broke yesterday. Then this afternoon, I went out and harnessed up and fed. Dean came about the time I was ready to go, so he hopped on and went along for the ride.Continue reading “Working Wren”

Well here are some pictures of a friend who’s family ranches in Utah. They were gathering the cattle off their allotment they shareContinue reading “Public Land Ranching”

The little Halfie got another work out today. After I got done feeding cows this afternoon, I caught up Patches, theContinue reading “Rill”
Safety
Still nice weather. 50’s today with some wind. Drying the mud out. I took the extra harness back to the neighbor. The hames were too big for my collars. Then I ran over to Punkin Center and got some lick barrels for these older cows. See if that will help put some flesh on them.Continue reading “Safety”
Why
Here is a short post by an intelligent young lady who was raised in the Ag lifestyle, married a buckaroo after college and has a daughter and still enjoys this lifestyle. I thought it was pretty spot on for most of us in the business of animal husbandry. Thanks Missy. A couple of weeks ago,Continue reading “Why”
“The ol’ brown hills are just about bare……”
As Ian Tyson sings in his song “Springtime”. Yup, lots of snow went off today. Water is running all over. First time can remember feeding with my team and being in running water pretty much all the time. My little shorty overshoes got my boots wet! Went over to a neighbors this morning and borrowedContinue reading ““The ol’ brown hills are just about bare……””
