Busy

I caught Beaver this morning and me and him and Bob and Shadow got all the bovines in the corral. About that time, Delbert showed up, so we put most in the back alley and started putting about 5 or 6 head into the alley leading into the working chute. I’d spray them down withContinue reading “Busy”

Jill

Got word last night that a friend of mine passed away. We had met thru’ my ad for saddle making in the Cowboy magazine. She had a horse who was giving her a hard time and she wondered if the saddle might be the problem. After some phone calls and long conversations, the upshot ofContinue reading “Jill”

You get your critter roped by the hind foot or feet and then get it layingContinue reading “Some more stuff from today”

Biting cold wind out of the northwest this morning. Headed in to town for a funeral of an old rancher. I’ve known his son for quite a number of years and Cindy works with him.
