Another day shot to hell! 😉 As to the picture, we had some close guesses, but not exactly right on the button. When you are in the back and driving a herd of cows and calves, you expect a few extra calves in the back, as most cows are smart enough to take their babiesContinue reading “Whew!”

Yeeeeehawwwwww
Got my new bit and hangers in today and a day ago. They came from two different places. Norm Harris out in Idaho got the bit for me and Larry Fuegen down in Arizona made the sliding bit hangers for me. Larry was raised in SD, down by Reliance. Good feller and makes some greatContinue reading “Yeeeeehawwwwww”
Kids
and grandkids. Tate and Kass came out last night, so me and Gabe and Lige went and fed Fred. Fred just wants to suck on peoples legs and arms, anywhere he thinks there might be some milk. Greedy, hungry little sucker! He doesn’t even buck when children set on his back! Just keeps backing up,Continue reading “Kids”
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”
Moved heifers
Started of well and then went to hell. If I’d of had a gun there would have been two dead dogs before I got done and I was ready to take the sorry bosal off I was riding with and cut it into pieces. But on the bright side I got some great sunset photos.Continue reading “Moved heifers”

On the way home we stopped over at Red Owl and put a flag on Great Grampa’s grave. HeContinue reading “Windy Tuesday”
Boats and cowboys
Setting here gathering energy lost from a long day yesterday and decided to tell this story. When Chance was about 17 or so, he went to doctor a yearling heifer. At the time he was thinking tripping them was real cool so was practicing it at every chance he got. He found a heifer whoContinue reading “Boats and cowboys”
Rain and more rain
On Sunday I and a couple neighbors drove over to another neighbors to brand. It drizzled on us all day while we sorted off the calves and worked the cows then we decided to run the calves thru’ and give them over eating shots, just in case. We put the calves in a shed andContinue reading “Rain and more rain”
Rain update:
It rained some more after my last post. there is a 5 gallon bucket setting out in the yard away from any trees. I brought it over to the step where it is level and measured with a wooden yard stick. Just a touch over 3 inches since this started. Sun is shining now andContinue reading “Rain update:”
