Mountain Time
Since we took the blood samples from the heifers yesterday, they were ready to be hauled up to their mountain pasture. Now, historically, this trip is known for RAIN. Sure enough, scattered thunderstorms were predicted. Luckily, the rain held off until after we were done! It was a fast and crazy ride… cool weather, good…
Heifer Test
It was a long day of gathering heifers and bleeding them for their 30 day pregnancy test. Brandon is the main guy for taking the blood samples from under the tail. I’ve done it a couple of times. Tess has done it. Today, Megan relieved Brandon twice, giving him a break. A little technical advice……
Re-Red: June 14 – June 20, 2020
This week’s RE-RED includes: Lots of moving cattle… A well camouflaged frog/toad… A different, threatening cloud that Daniel and I comment on… and then we decided should get going towards home… and the basement! More moving cattle… Pairing cattle… I hope I don’t make you dizzy with my editing! I know one thing, I’m not…
Strength
I only had time to do one adaptation of Lorelei’s photo today.
Inspiration

#TBT: “It Was There…” v.2.0
This was first posted July 5, 2009. * My feelings haven’t changed either! CDBG 2020* Apologies for not posting yesterday. I wanted to share our 4th of July Celebration Small Town Style. I want the world to know…that here… It is everywhere. We followed it at the front of the parade. It lined the streets….

A Simple Thing
Things are never simple. I drove up to the Mesa Pasture to check the water for the cows. Someone must do this every day. I had Quinlan and Lorelei at the time. We pull up to the three water tanks at the top of 500′ Otter Creek Canyon. No water in the first tank, 1/3…
Not My Thing
I went with Vernon the other night to irrigate. While I normally avoid irrigating, we were on our way to pay a visit to my sister and had to irrigate on the way. Since the field had been hayed, I thought my chances were pretty good to avoid the grass pollen that makes me so…
Re-Red: June 7 – 13, 2020
This week’s video is fairly short. I almost put two weeks together by accident, and this week looks kind of pitiful all by itself! Don’t worry, next week’s will make up for it. Some gathering cattle… some baby chicks… and a rainstorm. Short. Sweet.
