Here’s what a hard working, little less ancey, tired but still has a lot of gas, 4 year old colt, looks like. He’s sure a travelin’ booger. Wants to be cowy. Yup, I like him! But he ain’t for kids. Yet! 🙂

Went well. Chance and I got there early. Got kind of warm and hardly a breeze where we did them. Cindy and I drove up thru’ the heifers and I used the crossbow to doctor a couple. Need to go up this afternoon and do more, if I get home in time. I am goingContinue reading “9th branding”

Had a great time on the Sheridan trip. A jolly group of traveling companions and I giggled and laughed all the way out there and back. Went to a branding yesterday. I’ve lost count of which one it was. Another today and then go help a guy sort cattle to ship to summer pasture tomorrow.Continue reading “5/17/09”

Taken a picture of a tree bent half way over, from the wind. She really really blew today! Gusts up in the 50’s I guess. Sure glad there wasn’t a foot or two of snow for it to play with! Another branding tomorrow and then on Friday I am headed to Sheridan for the bigContinue reading “I should have…”

Got yearling’s in today. The rest come in tomorrow. Another branding to go to. Other than havingContinue reading “Look what I found”

More my fault than his, I’m sure. He handled the roping and dragging likeContinue reading “4th branding”

From the branding yesterday.Tice had great gramma’s from both sides there yesterday.

Kind of chilly this morning. We had a little rain and the wind is blowing. Went to my 4th branding yesterday. Mijo did well. Drug some calves out of a small pen and thru’ a pretty tight crowd holding the calves. He watched everything but took it all well. Gramma stopped off at Chance andContinue reading “Wet and windy”

Went well. Wind blew, but hey, this is South Dakota after all! It’s to be expected. Whining about it won’t make it quit or go away. If it did we would never have even a breeze. I am sick and tired of people who are sick and tired of the wind and bitch about it.Continue reading “3rd branding”

Went out yesterday ad cleaned on corrals until the ground started giving away from under the pressure of the tires on the tractor. Still awful wet under there, tho’ it looks dry on top. Then I went up in Harry’s and fixed a washed out crossing. Went out today and worked on the fence inContinue reading “Spring Work”
