So many would like to help people who were so terribly devastated by the Atlas Blizzard. This is one of several groups putting things together. https://www.giveblackhills.org/27677 This is a non profit organization who is collecting money to be dispersed back to those who need it. We have one upcoming concert to help raise funds withContinue reading “Ranchers Relief”

Seems I am always learning new things or relearning, or becoming aware, of things I knew, but have forgotten as time goes on… I think we are all aware of the mess the world seems to be in these days… and what do we do about it? See if you can follow me here. IfContinue reading “Lessons”

Pretty chilly this morning, lot’s of frost on the windows, but got nice by this afternoon and not much for a breeze…I putted around and did some leather work yesterday and today. Cindy rode with me yesterday evening and we went and drained the big tank down south and then dropped off a bowl andContinue reading “Nice day”

This had been building inside and like a bad stomach ache, it had to come out… Atlas It came way to early too damn hard and fast Like a runaway freight train then the die was cast With rain and the wind… like a hurricane on land then it got nasty and pulled a knifeContinue reading “Finally”

We got D & K’s shipped yesterday…the corrals, like all in this country, were muddy so we slipped and slid but we got them sorted, sexed and loaded… I hauled a trailer load in and then went on and got a pallet of pellets. A neighbor offered to pick me up a load just beforeContinue reading “More shipping”

Got Del’s calves shipped today. I, along with some others, hauled a trailer load over..hard to move fast while sorting, afoot, in the gumbo..When I got home there was a message from my neighbor to the west and we’d had some yearlings in their place, roughing up their hay stacks, so Chance and I wentContinue reading “Gathering”

Fairly thick skim ice on the puddles this morning, but got warm by this afternoon… I went out and worked on some fence in preparation to shipping these yearlings this weekend…got some fence that is old and nasty.. I made a new gate in a better spot and fenced over the old one with aContinue reading “Chilly..”

We got it done.. had friends and family there, considering what the weather has been doing and what all the neighbors have been thru’ and are still fighting, we had a nice crowd…many would have liked to have been there, but the weather didn’t cooperate… Fr Tyler did a wonderful job and Theresa sang beautifully…DustyContinue reading “Karen’s Memorial”

Not a lot to write about, we made it past another chance for cattle to drift, hard cold rain and wild winds… yearlings drifted after they got tired, but we were ready and got them put in the lane and down into the tree patch…we have another one starting tomorrow, rain, wind and turning toContinue reading “Here we go…”

Took the tractor and went up west and dug around so cows could cross creeks easily and come home if this next weather coming in makes them drift… broke a hose on the bale unroller so had to go to Punkin Center to get that fixed..then a little after noon I hauled Delbert and hisContinue reading “Tired…”
