Up at 3 am to catch and saddle Peaches, load in the trailer and head to one neighbor, pick him and his horse up and head out to be at another neighbors to trail cows at 4:30. We were a little early. Cows moved good for awhile, but about a mile and a half toContinue reading “Movin’ cows”

Moved heifers
Started of well and then went to hell. If I’d of had a gun there would have been two dead dogs before I got done and I was ready to take the sorry bosal off I was riding with and cut it into pieces. But on the bright side I got some great sunset photos.Continue reading “Moved heifers”

Supposed to get up to 80 today and then in the 70’s for the next week with just a slight chance of rain shower. you can almost see the grass growing!

Windy Tuesday
It’s really howling. Gusts to almost 50 mph. Sure drying out the mud! But up to almost 60 degrees. Cindy and I ran into town yesterday. Got some flowers and put them on the folks graves. On the way home we stopped over at Red Owl and put a flag on Great Grampa’s grave. HeContinue reading “Windy Tuesday”
Tared!
As they say down south, meaning, tired. Helped Lyle and Cindy trail pairs to summer pasture yesterday. Went well. Good crew, good weather. We did pick up one little feller who was moving slow and he rode in the back of Danny W’s rig that Danny and Jesse were driving, opening and shutting gates. SawContinue reading “Tared!”

At the time he was thinking tripping them was real cool so was practicing it at every chance he got. He found a heifer whoContinue reading “Boats and cowboys”
Long day

Really good day, tho’ when we started dragging calves the gumbo in the pen was so muddy after about 3 calves your rope wasContinue reading “Long day”
Rain and more rain
On Sunday I and a couple neighbors drove over to another neighbors to brand. It drizzled on us all day while we sorted off the calves and worked the cows then we decided to run the calves thru’ and give them over eating shots, just in case. We put the calves in a shed andContinue reading “Rain and more rain”

Went to Ricks and branded yesterday. Nice and cool but not too cold. Went well. After Cindy got home I rode Beav up the creek to doctor a heifer with a sore foot. Got that done and noticed I had a few yearlings in on Darrel. While I was looking for the hole in theContinue reading “Spring work”
