Finally! Another video! It’s about time! This one covers May 30 – June 20, 2021. There’s plenty of gathering cattle, a cute irrigation partner, and some elk on the Big Horns. I even included a blooper reel, when my contacts were so foggy riding, that I had to have Megan help me clean and reapply…

#TBT: Piggysitting Part Poo… Uh, Two… v.2.0
This was first posted August 6, 2010. So I admit it…I know nothing about pigs. We were given one for an early wedding present… his name was Amos. I believe Vernon really hated hauling him to the processing plant… but I hadn’t been around him much. I patted him on the head like three times……
Red Dirt In My Solar Array
Yeah, I said it. I stole it from a friend who was helping us with this back in June. I have mentioned we were working on a cool project… and finally, I’m done with the video! One day, as I stood scraping some wind blown dust out of the racks the solar panels sit on,…
Re-Red Video May 10 – May 17, 2021
This video covers our week of branding… so gathering cattle and branding take up 90%! Springtime traditions include gathering cattle from the pasture, sorting the pairs (mom and calf) into their new pasture, then branding the calves. Branding is an essential part since in this wide open land, cattle can sometimes end up miles from…
Ranch Living Video
Another “Re-Red” video! This one covers April 29 – May 9, 2021. I’ve been so busy lately, it doesn’t seem like I have time to make these videos! I’m wising up, though, and doing a bit for a few days instead of all at once. This video covers the Library Tea Party, planting oats and…
Spring Turnout and Crafting Video
Covering some wildlife, spring turnout for some of our cattle, my wood burned stool, and my son’s new Australian Shepherd puppies. This video covers April 21 – 28, 2021.
Springtime Work Video
Covering April 14 – 20, 2021, we go through a wintery commute home with two bull elk making an appearance, a gorgeous day working cattle, a return to winter conditions, then working more cattle as the snow retreats on a dark and gloomy day.
Branding 2021 Video
Finally, my videos on ranch life have caught up to April 11 when we held our first little branding. We’ve branded all but another small bunch, but I don’t really count those brandings with the table and electric branding iron. I’m just a traditionalist, I guess… I still had to make this video because it’s…
Ranch Life Moments – Wyoming (Video)
This video covers most of the month of March and into April of 2021. I’ve fallen behind in my weekly videos… a combination of not getting out to video and… LIFE. Included are some wildlife… pronghorn antelope and sandhill cranes… a determined calf trying to eat… curious cows… and the lecture I gave the girls…
Ranch Living Video
This video for the blog, Red Dirt In My Soul, covers the end of February to the fifth of March, 2021. My final video of Valentino, the highway mountain lion kittens, more calving videos from milking mommas to bedding them down with straw… a little feeding from the pickup and spring snow completes this video.
I’ve Been Busy
What do ranchers do in their spare time? Craft! I know I’ve shared some of these, but I made a video of all my latest…
Ranch Life in February Video
I got out of the habit of making my Re-Red videos… making instead my Valentino, calving, work ethic, and mountain lion videos. So, today, I tried to catch up, covering most of the month of February. Since you’ve seen so much in the other videos… this one is fairly short. I feel better, though, and…
