Not much new news around here. Still dry. Rains seem to mostly pass us by. And with that, also the hail, some have been getting. Which is a blessing. What little graze we have would sure be missed if it were hailed off! One year quite a few years ago, we had a dry yearContinue reading

Rain!!! As I write this we just had a wonderful rain come thur’. Not sure how much we got, but I am happy for any amount. I hate to be greedy, but I am not sure how much we’d have to get before it would make me unhappy! From what I have read there areContinue reading

I took off Saturday afternoon and drove to Harrison, Neb, for a gig. I went south of Hot Springs and came in at Crawford. I hate to be that guy, but man, I am jealous! Green and hay! From Rapid City south it looked great. They had many more bales in their fields than anyoneContinue reading

Well, I guess summer is here. June 21st is the start date, I think. Longest day of the year. Most daylight anyway.

Not going the way I planned, but you would think I would expect that, because it always seems to go that way. Things IContinue reading

Sure has been nice weather. Only way it could be better is if it was raining every day! I see some have been getting some moisture. Hope someone ordered more for this area! Calving is about wrapped up. Ours have calved out pretty steady. Gramma and I pulled a slick one the other day. WhileContinue reading “5/17/21”

Branding season. We kind of have calving and branding seasons running together. Most of our neighbors start calving about a month or so ahead of us.. and many are trying to get branded up so they can get them to summer pasture. We aren’t hauling any anywhere else for summer this year.. other than someContinue reading “5/10/21”
