For awhile anyway. Boys head home tomorrow so this evening we went out and they rode around and around in the corral. They swapped horses, Gabe rode Squirt and Lige rode Beaver. Both got along fine and Gabe even managed a sidepass, with a little help from Grampa. We took the tractor up north andContinue reading “Last ride”

Cowpokes
NOWÂ know why they call them that! At least when Lige is riding Squirt cuz’ he’s always poking along! We went out and moved the pairs into another pasture and shut some gates. Pretty good cowpokes if you can get them to understand where you want to go!

Bridgette came out and rode along forContinue reading “Foggy out”
Another thunderstorm
as I type. Sure is a wet ol’ country this year. Me and the grandsons went out this morning and built a removable back end on the little flat bed wagon so we can pitch hay on, but take the back off if we need to haul little square bales. My yearling heifer guy andContinue reading “Another thunderstorm”
