Got some 3x3x8 bales in the other day so I have been devising a way to feed them. I stood them on end, leaned against some other bales, all lined up. Then I back my low boy wagon up to them and push one on from the back end. I put a piece of StrongbarnContinue reading “Monday 12/20/10”

Here’s another winter poem. Plumb true happening from years back with my Dad. Feedin’ with Gramps It was gettin’ down right nippy Headin’ ‘tords Christmas day Snow had been pilin’ up pretty high I was feedin’ lots of hay Gramps went along one day When I harnessed up to feed He’d driven lots of teamsContinue reading “12/18/10”

After I got done with the chores this morning, I ran down south of Enning and looked at some hay. Some 3x4x8 bales. I think I will get a few and see if I can feed them handily with my team. If so, I will get a load or two. Price is right. This afternoonContinue reading “Wed 12/15/10”

Don’t suppose I will get to write that header again in my life! Just a wee bit brisk this morning! Had a regular blizzard last night. I even let the dogs stay in the house, but it didn’t help my sleeping any. Bob just ain’t figured out how to go lie down and sleep allContinue reading “Saturday 12/11/10”

Grampa had a helper today to do chores. Hope brought Sam and Gus out yesterday and stayed over for a spell. So I found some old chaps of one of Gus’s uncles or his dad’s to help keep his legs warm and we went chorin’. He was a real big help!

Pearl Harbor day. Good time to remember we are never completely safe. And take actions to be prepared. Kind of like the Advent song we have been singing, “Prepare Ye the Way”. Such a gorgeous day out there that even Gramma went with me to feed and chore this morning. She claim’s I only marriedContinue reading “December 7, 10”

Another beautiful day, tho’ pretty darn crispy this morning! Got the cattle fed and then went up to the neighbor to the west and loaded and hauled calves to Philip, for tomorrows sale. He took a trailer load also and then he will take a truck load tomorrow. After we dropped off the calves andContinue reading “Monday 12/6/10”

Boy is it a beautiful day out there! Sun is shining, making the snow all sparkly. About 27 above as I write this. Not hardly a breeze. Makes me want to hook to a sleigh with the team and give somebody a ride! Maybe when Cindy gets home, or tomorrow. Fed the calves, old cowsContinue reading “Sunday Dec 5, 10”

Went out this afternoon and saddled up Pilgrim and brought the cows in and sorted off a few who are older and/or thinner. None are in bad shape yet, but it’s easier to keep them in good shape than to try and get them in good shape. Especially them ol’ gummer cows. Also I sortedContinue reading “12/3/10 Afternoon”

Nice day out there. Harnessed and hooked up the team and fed calves. Saddle horses was standing there at the corral so I caught Pilgrim and rode up west and changed some gates so the horses can go north and I can turn the calves east if I want to. Checked the bean for theContinue reading “12-1-10”
