Nice today, tho’ cooler. Went up west with the tractor and loader and pushed some pipe in the ground to fix some fence that’s been needing it. Brought home a bale when I got done. We’ve been having a few heifers who think they need to be in the neighbors. He put them back severalContinue reading “Ahhhhh”

A friend who now lives in Colorado came up yesterday to pick up his saddle I was repairing for him and also Frankie B. He brought along another cowboy who he works with. There have been a lot of horses rode, cattle roped and the life relived in the past 24 hours around here! WeContinue reading “Goodbye ol’ Paint”

That’s what I played at today. Took the pickup and trailer to the hills so the kids could load it up with their stuff. Dropped some off in a storage unit and brought the rest home. Sure was glad my knee was still sore!

Chance and Hope sold their calves today. Had a neighbor come to help, and he had a couple friends from back east visiting, so we had almost more riders than cattle to gather! Went well and we had them sorted and loaded in no time. Got to the salebarn way early and sat way tooContinue reading “Sale day”

My knee is sure sore. Hard to sleep last night. Kept trying to roll over and that was not a good idea. Called the vet today and as I thought, not much they can do, so I built me a leather wrap/brace. When it’s on it feels better. Going to go see if I canContinue reading “Sore”
