Call me crazy. A month ago I decided to spend some money… The way prices are rising, I thought if I spent the money now, I might save myself some cash come spring, the normal time I would have spent it. So… I placed my order, and they arrived Wednesday. Yes, I’ve ordered baby chicks….

#TBT: Confused, v.2.0
This was first published November 17, 2011. The morning greeted me with the bad news that my car was stranded INSIDE my garage… evidently the cable had come off the rollers as I shut the garage door last night. The good news was that I had found out 4 hours before I was due in…

Calves
Gathering the calves to bring them home… They’ve been having a good life on our hay fields and will continue to do so… but on some fields over in Worland. It tried to snow at the end… but it was just more cold than anything. Who wants to be a cowboy now?
Something to Smile About
Thank you for your outpouring of sympathy for our loss. You are very kind. While we struggle through the process, there is still a ranch to tend to, and, no surprise, cattle to move. We had already scheduled trucks to haul some calves tomorrow which meant we had to gather them today. I could post…
Patriarch
It is with extreme sorrow that I share the passing of John Greet, December 24, 1930 – November 12, 2022. May he ride a smooth horse through green grass and find only gentle cattle (and a few wild horses to chase!) He will be profoundly missed.
#TBT: Come Back Tomorrow, v.2.0
This was first posted November 13, 2011. This has been a very cool day! I mean, as in awesome, wonderful! Brandon and Megan and Quinlan are still here… so there’s the visiting and babysitting going on… wonderful in its own way… But, finally, this afternoon, I needed some “airing out”… too much cooking, etc! Me…

Even Better
Thanks to the National Weather Service, we have a pretty good idea of what weather is headed our way. Ask any Wyomingite who Don Day is, and I bet 90% of them know! We listen to him on the radio and now on YouTube, forecasting and impacting our lives. I used to roll my eyes…
Mix and Match
After the first half of the herd had been sorted and trailed to their pastures, we decided to break for lunch. Megan and Brandon and I had our horses, and they tied theirs with halters to the corral. I had no halter, and was too lazy to walk to the barn to get one. I…
Broke
Cows were off the Mesa and settled in the Double Crossing overnight. We were to begin riding, gathering them and bringing about half of them into the corral. Half simply because our corral cannot hold them all at once. Vernon and I drove in to the home place and cows came running. We were driving…
A Few More
I hope you’ll forgive me a few more images… This is such a scenic spot and the light was nice… Don’t think I was purposefully ignoring Brandon or Daniel in my photos… they were, for the most part, way too far away to photograph. In fact, Daniel said he had the gate open for 33…
