I caught Beaver this morning and me and him and Bob and Shadow got all the bovines in the corral. About that time, Delbert showed up, so we put most in the back alley and started putting about 5 or 6 head into the alley leading into the working chute. I’d spray them down withContinue reading “Busy”

4/4/11
Still windy, but not quite as hard. Chilly last night but got up to 50 this noon or so. I loaded up Lena, the filly and took her up to Brad for another 30 days of riding. Then came home, unhooked the trailer and loaded Gramma up and we went to Punkin Center and gotContinue reading “4/4/11”
Melting…
the snow is melting! Took the team out and fed today, early, so I could meet up with Ken this afternoon and work on the songs. After me and Gabe and Lige got done feeding hay we hooked on to the wagon to haul some bean out with the calf sled hooked on the backContinue reading “Melting…”
Poor man’s fertilizer

And I know there are those calving in it who are calling it ano5ther word for fertilizer that starts with a B and has an s in there too! Must be 6 inches anyway.

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?
