Another branding
First branding
Nice day, good crew, god calves.
‘Nuther nice one….
I kept the horses out behind the house last night so this morning I lured them in with some grain, caught up Beaver and rode out around the shrinking drop bunch. No new ones. Rode up to see if the pairs I kicked up the lane had made it out. Yup. This afternoon I tookContinue reading “‘Nuther nice one….”
Another pretty day
Not too hot, not too much wind. Bart came this morning and got the butcher steer so fresh beef in a couple weeks. I had a stupid dream this morning that woke me about 4 am so I have been sleepy all day. After dinner (fresh liver and onions and HORSE RADISH!!!) I had aContinue reading “Another pretty day”

Also some rain and maybeContinue reading “Weather coming in….”
Calving
Had a new one this morning and two new ones this evening. I putted around this morning, as the wind was blowing so hard I’d decided to wait and feed in the afternoon, as it was supposed to go down, as the afternoon progressed. Ordered some stuff fro leather work and then went to PunkinContinue reading “Calving”
