Had fun. Did not shoot one bird. I decided I needed heavier loads and better aim. But still had a lot of fun. Met quite a few new people and really enjoyed my traveling partner. I met him at Enning and we visited all the way down and back. We both tend towards ADHD soContinue reading “The great hunt”

Fall
I worked on the kennel/doghouse/old chicken house today. Made a couple of pens for dogs. Bob and Shadow want to whip up on Buck so he has been staying in the horse trailer. At times, that is a bit inconvenient. So I made a couple pens and left a large area so I could penContinue reading “Fall”
Hmmmmm….
Haven’t posed for a couple days. Not a lot going on. I did haul the last heifer up to the owner -the one we missed when we shipped them all home- yesterday and also took my 3 little yearling steers to Belle to the sale. I didn’t stay real long at the sale, but theyContinue reading “Hmmmmm….”
Shippin’
‘Tis the season for the reason! Or in other words, the reason we all do what we do. For this day. When you “harvest” the crop. That crop being calves, mostly, in this country, tho’ some raise yearlings, but by and large, most raise cows who have calves, who get sold in the fall, barringContinue reading “Shippin’”
More wind
But supposed to go down this evening and not blow quite so hard tomorrow. I just did some odds and ends this morning and then Dean stopped in and had tea on his way to Punkin Center. I didn’t feel like cooking anything so rode along and Kelli was nice enough to buy us lunch!Continue reading “More wind”

I noticed one of my calves with an ear down, so this afternoon I saddled Beaver andContinue reading “Movin’ heifers”
Dang
Woke up about 5 this morning with a real, real dry throat. Must have been snoring and it felt like there was a flap of skin hanging down in there. Set up and read on the computer for awhile then went back to bed. Felt a little better when I woke up later. Still tiredContinue reading “Dang”
Dark thirty
When we took off. I met Lyle at his corner and he and his horse jumped in with me and Buck. We got over to the Association and went with the feller who runs it and his wife and nephew and rode west into a small holding pasture and gathered. Cows weren’t real cooperative, butContinue reading “Dark thirty”
Not as much fun
Went over to Punkin Center and had Norman fix my hub that wouldn’t roll on the trailer that ruined the tire. Brakes in it froze up, so there is no brake assembly in it at the moment, but the hub rolls and that new tire he stuck on there works real well! 😉 Then wentContinue reading “Not as much fun”
