First branding
Nice day, good crew, god calves.
Another pretty day
Not too hot, not too much wind. Bart came this morning and got the butcher steer so fresh beef in a couple weeks. I had a stupid dream this morning that woke me about 4 am so I have been sleepy all day. After dinner (fresh liver and onions and HORSE RADISH!!!) I had aContinue reading “Another pretty day”
What a gorgeous day!
About 60 and just a soft wind/breeze out of the south east. Brad brought the filly back this morning and he was on his way to an auction so brought a video he made of what he was doing with her. Cindy rode Beaver tonight and I rode the filly and we went up westContinue reading “What a gorgeous day!”
More rain
Got a little this morning. Not a lot, but it all helps. Cindy said it was drizzling and foggy when she left at 4:30. I kept Woody in so I gathered the horses from north of the barn and then rode around the cows. No new calve in the night. Fed some hay to theContinue reading “More rain”

Had a new one this morning and two new ones this evening. I putted around this morning, as the wind was blowing so hard I’d decided to wait and feed in the afternoon, as it was supposed to go down, as the afternoon progressed. Ordered some stuff fro leather work and then went to PunkinContinue reading “Calving”

Came back and putted around, paid bills and then went out, saddle up Beaver and got the horses in, harnessed and fed. Broke the tongue on the wagon while backing inContinue reading “Tired…”
Feeding
We are officially calving I guess. Got the first one this morning. By the way, Gabe, the 7 year old grandson, took most of these pictures.
Whoooooooooo
Sez the wind. Out of the south south east. Trying to blow some rain up. I’ll take it. It’s hitting about 40 to 45 mph, looks like. Really got to screw your hat down to keep it on. I fed the cows about a half mile east of the house o the down wind sideContinue reading “Whoooooooooo”
And the wind blows…….
Still. When I went to catch horses, they had escaped and went nort5h with the others, but were close enough I conned them all into the corral for grain. Decided I might as well just let them all out at night except for one to gather on in the morning. Mijo gets to be wrangleContinue reading “And the wind blows…….”
