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”

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”

Some more stuff from today
I wondered if I had ever posted this picture on here. I got to thinking that some of you may find it interesting. Chance and Beaver have this critter captured and are doctoring it all by themselves with ease. You get your critter roped by the hind foot or feet and then get it layingContinue reading “Some more stuff from today”
