Another day shot to hell! 😉 As to the picture, we had some close guesses, but not exactly right on the button. When you are in the back and driving a herd of cows and calves, you expect a few extra calves in the back, as most cows are smart enough to take their babiesContinue reading “Whew!”

Bovines
Helped DRIVE some yesterday. Then we went up to Brad and Bec’s for a 1 year birthday party for Coy. Me and Justin allowed Dean and Del to kick our butts at horse shoes. Man, Dean really got dialed in and they smacked us. 21-11 final score. It was fun, but I think I oughtContinue reading “Bovines”
Yeeeeehawwwwww
Got my new bit and hangers in today and a day ago. They came from two different places. Norm Harris out in Idaho got the bit for me and Larry Fuegen down in Arizona made the sliding bit hangers for me. Larry was raised in SD, down by Reliance. Good feller and makes some greatContinue reading “Yeeeeehawwwwww”
Fathers day
So far I spent it going to Mass and with Gus as he came home with me last night from the branding. Gramma will be home later and seeing as she is the one who made me a Dad, I guess we will spend Fathers Day together. Might go drown a worm later or something.Continue reading “Fathers day”

This morning there is 2 and a half inches in the bucket, by the ruler. Wish we could share this with them folks in the southContinue reading “Rain and thunder”
Kids
and grandkids. Tate and Kass came out last night, so me and Gabe and Lige went and fed Fred. Fred just wants to suck on peoples legs and arms, anywhere he thinks there might be some milk. Greedy, hungry little sucker! He doesn’t even buck when children set on his back! Just keeps backing up,Continue reading “Kids”
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”
