Ever since I moved to Ten Sleep almost 41 years ago now (!), the Fourth of July has been A Big Deal. There’s the parade, the rodeo, the street dance… rarely have I missed it… a few times camping with the family, or fishing or ? I’ve gone, hauled kids, got babysitters… and enjoyed it…
Not Bad
Small town parade… Lacee was Washakie County Fair Junior Princess and I videoed her and only caught a quick pic after she’d ridden by… Johnny attended… The one good thing about an election year is the amount of candy thrown during the parade… Little kids on fancy cars… Little kids throwing candy… Not a bad…
Our ”Ussie”
Two days of riding and moving and bleeding and gathering and shipping and trailing… and today we ALL rode, even little Reagan. We trailed our yearling heifers a few miles downhill… and she rode like a champ. When we were finished, she hitched a ride back with her grandpa in the side by side as…
Down Pat

They crossed the creek on the second attempt, and soon we were up the hill, through the gate, and on the highway, walking the three miles home. Three cowkids were along to help.

#TBT: ”Stay Tuned”, v.2.0

I hope you find this interesting and not a lecture and/or too boring. Randy…

Not Much
Not much on my agenda though the guys are hard at work haying. A trip to Worland today for a dentist appointment and groceries… I now have less money but I gained a crown… Photo just because…
Slow Down
Even though there is some yucca blooming, these white flowers are miner’s candlesticks, not yucca. I always slow going through the Slope Pasture bottom gate, as it’s home to Indian Blanket flower… Then there’s the elusive Prince’s Plume… Megan has seen it, but I’ve missed it… so I am using her photo of it to…

Good Job, Team
A cool morning and cloud cover made for an easy start as we trailed 100 pair to the Slope Pasture. Five adults and four kids left the barn and we opened the gate to the corral where the cows we’d gathered yesterday had spent the night. And we’re off! The clouds gave a blue tint…
