Had one new calf when I looked this morning. Rode Mijo and rode him just with the reins and never had to touch the bosal until we got in a minor configulation with some pairs I was moving. He stuck his left hind foot thru’ the wires of a barbed wire gate I opened offContinue reading “Another good 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”
Ahhh, springtime
Meadowlarks and robins serenading me along with the baritone and bass notes of the frogs and Canadian geese on the nearby pond, chiming in. A nodding, bobbing headed, two rein colt cautiously clicks the chirping cricket in the silver mounted spade bit he’s learning to carry. He feels and listens for the clues as toContinue reading “Ahhh, springtime”
Christel and Beaver
Finally got a nice enough day to get Christel ahorseback. She done good.
Another good day
I tried to sort off all the pairs this morning, but the non calved cows decided different and went where I was putting the pairs. seeing as I was supposed to take off and go to Chance and Hopes, I left them all together. I hope to get them all sorted tomorrow. No new calves.Continue reading “Another good day”

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”

4/4/11
Still windy, but not quite as hard. Chilly last night but got up to 50 this noon or so. I loaded up Lena, the filly and took her up to Brad for another 30 days of riding. Then came home, unhooked the trailer and loaded Gramma up and we went to Punkin Center and gotContinue reading “4/4/11”
Melting…
the snow is melting! Took the team out and fed today, early, so I could meet up with Ken this afternoon and work on the songs. After me and Gabe and Lige got done feeding hay we hooked on to the wagon to haul some bean out with the calf sled hooked on the backContinue reading “Melting…”
Sunshine
sure is nice when you ain’t had any for a spell. The boys went out with me this morning to build us a snowman, but the snow wasn’t just right, so I saddled up Beaver and pulled them on the calf sled. You may remember that Beav is not to crazy about pulling the calfContinue reading “Sunshine”
