Seems there is no use
in trying to improve the situation in DC by sending new people in at election time. Check this out over at The Travis McGee Reader (which is on my blog roll of course) http://love-a-luddite.blogspot.com/2011/06/litte-vvsop-at-tea-party.html#links Until, and not until then, we have the power locally as was designed in the Constitution, sending anyone, no matter howContinue reading “Seems there is no use”
Photo’s of the branding
I didn’t get to take many while I was dragging calves. I roped off Mijo and drug calves, straight up in the bridle for the first time. He handled it well. Got pretty warm, but we had a stiff breeze to cool us off. Cows penned the best they ever have and the sorting wentContinue reading “Photo’s of the branding”
Another good branding
Tired but here’s some photos from trailing cattle yesterday. Branding photo’s tomorrow.
Movin’ cows
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”

Kass and the kids came out yesterday to get their beef and the boys rode Beaver around in the corral. I think it’s gonnaContinue reading “Lots warmer”

My brother was in just at the end of Viet Nam. My son served in Iraq. I have relatives serving now. Active and inactive. IContinue reading “Memorial Day”
Medora
All the way up and back it was green, green, green! I don’t know as you people in the eastern part of the country know how good that feels, to see that, for us here in the high desert plains states. Oh sure, there is mumbling and grumbling about work not getting done, but itContinue reading “Medora”
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!”
Windy
Sure is drying the wet out, but not to worry, we got a little more yesterday evening. I caught up Peaches and rode south to move some yearlings around and shut and open gates, checked on the tank I had turned on, drug a couple lick barrels of mineral into a fresh pasture for theContinue reading “Windy”
