Snow is coming in pretty horizontal. Woke up in the night and couldn’t get sleepy for awhile and the snow started here about 1 or 2 am. Hard to say how much we have, maybe 2 or 3 inches. Got some small soft drifts. When I hayed the calves in the small trap yesterday IContinue reading “Monday, Nov 29, 10”

I hooked up to the trailer and hauled on of the heifers I had summered here, who missed the bus for the return trip home. Both guys who I summered cattle for sold those cattle yesterday. The cows sold for over $1200 and I didn’t see the heifers sell. Heard heifers were going for $1100Continue reading “11/28/10”
Black Friday
Why do they call it that? Because everyone gets black and blue from pushing and shoving to screw themselves on so called “deals”? Went out this morning and sorted off the horses from the cows and let the cows go west and the horses east. Let the calves and colts out in the big corralContinue reading “Black Friday”

Snow! 5 to 8 inches depending on who you talk to. Went over to Delbert’s and got the heifer calves Bangs vaccinated, this morning. Both Dean and I just hauled ours over there to save the vet from having to re-set up at our places. We only had 6 head, so it wasn’t much ofContinue reading “Monday Nov 22, 10”

Still chilly with a wind, but not as bad. Tate and I went out and looked for another doe for him. Seen some bucks. Nothin’ worth hangin’ on the wall. He got a doe yesterday morning. Seen lots of deer, but we wasn’t in any hurry so didn’t even shoot. ‘Sides it was a coldContinue reading “Sunday, Nov 21, 10”

Cold wind blowing from the east today. Brrr, ain’t got my blood thinned down or thickened up, whatever it is, so that this don’t feel very good. Muscle memory. My muscles remember them 40’s and 50’s we had a short time back. I guess when it’s November you should expect it. Tate and Kass andContinue reading “Nov 20, 10”

Looks pretty nice out there this morning. Wind blew this weekend and tho’ it wasn’t too cold, it seemed like it. Got a few flurries yesterday, but nothing stuck. Chance and Hope and kids arrived Saturday evening. Hope has some appointments this week. Chance headed back yesterday after we ate lunch. I rode with HopeContinue reading “Monday, Nov 15, 2010”
