Got done branding at Dean’s and made a hurried rush of getting Fred fed and changing clothes and turning my horse loose. Branding went well and it sure was a nice day. I rushed into town and visited with my sister in Switzerland on Skype and visited with others who were at the house. HadContinue reading “Family, part 2”

Another branding
Cold and windy, but we got them done. Big crew. With 5 ropers there was always someone waiting to take a calf off the rope when you came out. Good dinner afterwards off course. Brad rode my Some More Lena filly and drug a few calves on here. He sure looks to have done aContinue reading “Another branding”
Family
A sister who I wasn’t raised with came up to visit. She lives in Arizona. She was raised in Rapid City, but we didn’t find each other until we were grown up. She wanted to meet Christel while she was here visiting, so flew in to Sioux Falls and a friend from Chicago meet herContinue reading “Family”
Mothers Day

He’s had bloody diarrhea the past couple days so Cindy called an emergency vet in Rapid and they said to bring him in . They think he might have irritable bowel syndrome. They are putting some fluids inContinue reading “Mothers Day”

Another nice day
Got up in the 50’s and we had a little wind, but real nice. Went and rebuilt one of the creek crossings then moved the cows across the road into the 80 this afternoon. I’d rode Mijo around the fence in the morning and checked fences and shut gates. Not too bad of fence forContinue reading “Another nice day”
Alleluia!
Alleluia! He has risen! Happy and blessed Easter tidings to all!
Christel and Beaver
Finally got a nice enough day to get Christel ahorseback. She done good.
Cold
I caught one. From Christel. She probably got it on the plane over here. They tell me that they recycle the air in the planes for the whole flight. Oh well, this too shall pass. Snowing this morning. Muddy. That’s cool. Mud doesn’t last nearly as long as dust, around here. Been getting a coupleContinue reading “Cold”
