Real nice day! Up in the fifties! It’s making all the snowdrifts that turned into ice flows into miniature glaciers and they are melting and digging and gouging along and getting way smaller. Sure is muddy. Fed some hay this noon and then saddled up Beaver and rode and got in some cows that I was runningContinue reading “Wow”

The gig went well. 10 year olds in bunches of 30 with a few teachers and parents mixed in. I never did play the guitar, just told the history of ranching in this country and then answered questions. Got pretty gory at times. They all wanted to learn about killing cows and how to doContinue reading “I survived!”

I went in and picked up Cindy about noon on Saturday and we went to Rapid to the Stockshow. Wandered around and visited with some friends we don’t see too often. Got sore feet. Hooked up with friends from Iowa who were out here for the week end. We hauled a couple of them toContinue reading “Stockshow time”

Got rid of some smaller calves yesterday. A neighbor feller in college is leasing them for roping calves. I will get them back in June. Got another couple trailer loads of hay in too. Going to take a couple yearlings to the sale tomorrow and meet up with a friend from Wyoming there who isContinue reading “Another day”

30 years ago today, we got married. Man! Does anyone ever realize what an effect that will have on their lives? She always said she would give me a divorce after the children were raised but when I asked about it she told me I hadn’t suffered enough yet Too bad she forgot that theContinue reading “Anniversary”

Today, the 24 is our youngest grandson Sam’s first birthday. Big party tomorrow when his town relatives can come out to the ranch. The 27Continue reading “Birthdays”

I have some corriente cows I am running with mine, that belong to a neighbor. We have some small calves that a young neighbor  wants to lease for roping practice at his college, so I got them sorted off yesterday so we could determine ownership, seeing as we have never branded them and today weContinue reading “Tuckered”

As we have done ever since this country declared independence, we swear in a new president today. No coup, no bloodshed (I hope!) just one person stepping down and another stepping up, at the will of the people. (I hope!) He was not my choice and I fear what might happen to this country, becauseContinue reading “Congrat’s Mr Obama”

Warmer weather and winds have turned this ranch into a skating rink! Man, it is slippery out there. When I drove the team and wagon up to feed today, I walked alongside so as to get some exercise and it was the pits. Slipped and slid and finally gave up and rode on the wagon.Continue reading “Ice!”
