After I got done with the chores this morning, I ran down south of Enning and looked at some hay. Some 3x4x8 bales. I think I will get a few and see if I can feed them handily with my team. If so, I will get a load or two. Price is right. This afternoonContinue reading “Wed 12/15/10”

Don’t suppose I will get to write that header again in my life! Just a wee bit brisk this morning! Had a regular blizzard last night. I even let the dogs stay in the house, but it didn’t help my sleeping any. Bob just ain’t figured out how to go lie down and sleep allContinue reading “Saturday 12/11/10”

Grampa had a helper today to do chores. Hope brought Sam and Gus out yesterday and stayed over for a spell. So I found some old chaps of one of Gus’s uncles or his dad’s to help keep his legs warm and we went chorin’. He was a real big help!

Pearl Harbor day. Good time to remember we are never completely safe. And take actions to be prepared. Kind of like the Advent song we have been singing, “Prepare Ye the Way”. Such a gorgeous day out there that even Gramma went with me to feed and chore this morning. She claim’s I only marriedContinue reading “December 7, 10”

Went out this afternoon and saddled up Pilgrim and brought the cows in and sorted off a few who are older and/or thinner. None are in bad shape yet, but it’s easier to keep them in good shape than to try and get them in good shape. Especially them ol’ gummer cows. Also I sortedContinue reading “12/3/10 Afternoon”

Nice day out there. Harnessed and hooked up the team and fed calves. Saddle horses was standing there at the corral so I caught Pilgrim and rode up west and changed some gates so the horses can go north and I can turn the calves east if I want to. Checked the bean for theContinue reading “12-1-10”

Got some small drifts out there but not too hard.Sun is shining bright and last I looked it was about 20 out there. Called in the team and harnessed them up after trimming their bridleContinue reading “Tuesday Nov 30, 10”

I hooked up to the trailer and hauled on of the heifers I had summered here, who missed the bus for the return trip home. Both guys who I summered cattle for sold those cattle yesterday. The cows sold for over $1200 and I didn’t see the heifers sell. Heard heifers were going for $1100Continue reading “11/28/10”
Black Friday
Why do they call it that? Because everyone gets black and blue from pushing and shoving to screw themselves on so called “deals”? Went out this morning and sorted off the horses from the cows and let the cows go west and the horses east. Let the calves and colts out in the big corralContinue reading “Black Friday”

I left the tractor plugged in last night and it was a good thing as I’d let the team go with the other horses yesterday when I was done feeding and they all went the hell and gone up the creek. Didn’t even strand around this morning begging for hay. guess they like that greenContinue reading “Wednesday Nov 24, 2010”
