Whew
Got up and took off for Rapid this morning. Met up with Tate and looked at the coolers, but decided not to try and load one and haul it. Maybe if I was Superman strong I would have. Heavy? Lets just say, I am glad it wasn’t my brother? It was worth the trip tho’Continue reading “Whew”

Song
Windy today. But up in the 50’s, so not that big of a deal. While working on my Lenten guitar lessons this morning, I came across a new chord progression and got to thinking of a poem Ken Cook sent me some time back. At the time I told him it would make a greatContinue reading “Song”

Here are some pictures from a wild cow catching crew in Arizona. Hmm, wonder why there are wild cattle to be caught in that country? With all that good cheap feed looks like they would all be real tame, don’t it?

The little Halfie got another work out today. After I got done feeding cows this afternoon, I caught up Patches, theContinue reading “Rill”

I thought it was pretty spot on for most of us in the business of animal husbandry. Thanks Missy. A couple of weeks ago,Continue reading “Why”
“The ol’ brown hills are just about bare……”
As Ian Tyson sings in his song “Springtime”. Yup, lots of snow went off today. Water is running all over. First time can remember feeding with my team and being in running water pretty much all the time. My little shorty overshoes got my boots wet!
