Wean Work
The day started with low clouds… and I mean LOW… But as the morning progressed… the weather improved. And, hey, the cows were all still in! They were quickly corralled and we began to sort. With it being slightly muddy and that treacherous cow poop everywhere… I stayed out of the way… for a while….
Loss of Sight
Rain was predicted. Should we believe it? The storms that have blown through this summer have gone north or south, leaving us dry except for a short blast last week. But this was not simple thunderstorms… this was RAIN. Like… clouds settling in and raining. We have semis ordered up for tomorrow to haul weaned…
Silence
Things are fine. But the leaves are turning and the elk are bugling and I know that soon, my Special Place will be buried in snow and inaccessible for months. So, after half a day at the library, I came home and grabbed a few things and up the mountain I drove. The eagerness in…
Throwback Thursday: Preg Test Day, v.2.0
This was first posted September 21, 2015. PREG TEST DAY. It’s an institution around here… There’s no getting sick or missing this day because something else is going on! It’s like gathering in the badlands, or sale day, or shipping day. It’s the day so many things come together. If a cow isn’t pregnant… she…
Wordless Wednesday: The Grandfather Post
Your grandfather probably planted this post when he was a kid. It’s seen so much. Gnarled and weathered, he still stands. For a jigsaw puzzle of this post, go HERE.
Vet Check
Running heifers through the chute also gives us a chance to check their general health. With The Good Doctor there, we have the opportunity to fix the problem. Case #1: Bad case of pinkeye. With the white pimpley part there, the eye is on its way to healing on its own. We helped with some…
Slightly Disappointing
We preg tested our heifers today. It was cool with serious clouds and rain showers blowing around. I just knew as I drove up that we’d be standing around, hunched against the rain all day. Well, luckily (or not), that didn’t happen. We kept our coats on… but managed to discard the hats and scarves…
Football
Quinlan and Jaxon got to play on Ten Sleep’s new Kevin Anderson Memorial Field today. Along with our new school, we also got a new football field. The scoreboard finally works, so here we go! Unfortunately, the view from the bleachers is not good. A lot of the game was centerfield. We’re also now separated…
The Race Is On
I had planned on cleaning my house, but Vernon called and wanted my opinion about the corral design, so I quickly and happily abandoned my dishes and drove to the corral rebuild. My design layout was not quite what was on the ground, so I needed to update it with new measurements. Since we will…
Throwback Thursday: Longmire, v.2.0
This was first posted September 11, 2015. Another day of library work… nothing too special there. But today was the premiere of Season Four of my favorite television show on Netflix, and I just had to watch tonight! If you’ve followed me very long, you know I’m a fan of Craig Johnson who writes the Walt Longmire…
