About 40 to 45 mph the last couple days, supposed to blow again today and tomorrow, but drop off towards evening and not blow quite as hard either… oh well, those people who don’t like wind really shouldn’t live in this area I guess as we get a lot of it… branded in it bothContinue reading “A little breeze”

Had a little drizzle/rain this morning, Chance and Sam and I rode out to kick out pairs and tag, there were way tool many in there… I was wearing my slicker and got hot so took it off and it set in to raining pretty hard, put it back on and sat it out andContinue reading “Wet”

Heard the expression, “Slower than an old cow having a calf”?

Little breeze, but not bad…after Mass, this afternoon, Tate and Gabe and Chance and Gus and I went out and kicked out pairs.. they were getting pretty thick.. when we got done, I fed, only about half what I’ve been feeding, the grass is coming on and they ain’t very crazy about hay.. probably won’tContinue reading “Nice day”

I worked on the forge all afternoon and into the evening, getting some cool stuff built, but sure wears an old fat man out.. Chance went with me to check cows tonight, heContinue reading “Typical spring day”

April…. showers???  Didn’t know they meant snow showers!!! Oh well, we need the moisture..doesn’t seem to be bothering’ the cattle too much but they will sure enjoy it when the sun comes out… rain, mostly, got to have it to make cow feed…   Worked on the forge this afternoon, Chance finished his set ofContinue reading “Hmmmmm….”

Some wind, kind of cool.. I spent most of the day working on an addition tom the corrals.. I had gotten some poles from a friend, old high line poles.. Tate picked me up some long posts, I dug holes and Fr Tyler helped me set the posts and tamp them… I used the tractorContinue reading “Another day on the prairie”

I saddled him and let him stand while I did some other stuff and then worked him afoot in the round pen for awhile, taught him to walk by me and to walk up while I stood on an elevated plank/catwalk.. stepped on and away we went. He is real nice. Thanks Dustin Dennis, youContinue reading “Hub”
