That would be today. Many will celebrate by going to a rodeo or roping, to either watch or participate. Many who do the work of the cowboy will be at work, a horse back or maybe on a machine making hay to feed the cattle and horses. What are you going to do to celabrate?Continue reading “National Day of the Cowboy”

Go. Read. Laff!
Then think about it as it is all true! http://adaptivecurmudgeon.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/things-you-need-to-know-before-you-buy-the-farm/
Some stuff
Had an insurance adjuster come this morning to look at the roof and see if they would help any with the leaking problem. Looks like I am going to have to build a small slanted roof on top of this one, where it is flat. Why in the hell they ever built them flat topsContinue reading “Some stuff”
More fun
I knew I needed to get back up the creek and doctor the bull that me and Woody had lessons with, so I thought of my friend Rick, who’s birthday is today and is always telling me to let him know when I’ve got any roping to do as he is like me and enjoysContinue reading “More fun”
Lessons learned
I am posting this for my future reference, or perhaps my children, grand children or anyone else who gets into these situations. I saddled up Woody, my older, cow eating, raging bay, wild man of a war horse. We’ve went to lots of battles and always won, but we have gotten a few scars whileContinue reading “Lessons learned”
Warmish
Not real hot but real muggy. Rode Mijo up to the heifers and chased and roped a single(finally, the grass is so tall it’s hard to pick up feet on a running critter. Hell it’s hard for me to catch them when they are standing still, in good conditions! 😉 ) and doctored her forContinue reading “Warmish”
Water trouble
Seems everybody is having it in one way or another. When I took the team and low boy wagon up to Harry’s old place to haul mineral to the girls up there, I saw the tank was overflowing so I just shut the power off. I ran back up there a few minutes ago andContinue reading “Water trouble”
Lets see…….
What did I get done so far today? I caught Mijo and rode north and moved a few heifers. Took the dogs along and did a lot of hollering at Bob. Came back and the wind was not right to move the rest north so decided to wait until later. Drove over to Punkin CenterContinue reading “Lets see…….”
Excitement
Saddled up Mijo and rode south to move some cattle. As I got near the old house I heard some splashing sounds from,here. So I rode closer to investigate. Hmm, the old dry well. Wonder what’s in there splashing around?? Uh oh! I loped home and got the tractor and loader and went to digging. Continue reading “Excitement”
Hither and yon
Had Chad come down the other day to look at the well at the old house. Looks like it needs a new pressure tank. I tried to doctor a couple little bulls with foot rot with the crossbow and med-i-darts but the darts wouldn’t hold air to push the vaccine out. so Rick and CadenContinue reading “Hither and yon”
