Headed to bed and realized I hadn’t posted… I should have had Brandon take another cool ceiling shot when we all sat down to eat, but I forgot… in fact, I think I took four photos today! Oh, well, we made a good memory instead. I hope you enjoyed your day.

Coming Up
We’re happy to announce our Open House/Silent Auction is a GO for this year! We’ve had to cancel many of our library fundraisers, but we’re going ahead with this one! Always a popular Christmas party to attend, with items of all kinds to bid on and support the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library. Plus…
Cattle Work on the Ranch Video
I tried something different this time, I narrated the clips and photos for this latest video. Finding music, creating transitions, and that work takes TIME. This is a bare bones version, no background music. Just me jabbering. I do mis-speak a couple of times, but I just left it in… along with the “uh” and…

Oh, this alcohol ink stuff is addictive… And I even have more…
Procedures
It amazes me, year after year, when we PAP test bulls, that they figured this out! It’s an amazing procedure. I made a video about it years ago, you might want to watch. A quick poke and the needle lands in the jugular, often leaking blood from the mighty vein. A long catheter is threaded…
Fluffy Cows
In case you missed it online, fluffy cows was (is) a thing on the internet. Pampered, primped, and highly groomed show cattle’s photos have gone viral, often comparing them to teddy bears. They’re not, of course, they’re just groomed cattle like Westminster has groomed dogs. It’s for competition and show. Ask a kid who has…
#TBT: , Chapstick Day, v.2.0
This was first posted November 21, 2010. You don’t live long in Wyoming before you find out you NEED chapstick. It’s dry here. Humidity comes and visits, but rarely stays… at least not in the intensity that it exists around other parts of the country. So, there are two things I ALWAYS…
Wordless Wednesday: “Drought”
Here’s a gooooood puzzle for this week. Panama’s hoof is tiny compared to the cracks in the bottom of one of our reservoirs. To try your hand at this puzzle, go HERE.
Just Ducky
Growing up, my dad used to tell me stories about having ducklings. Feeding them, trying to keep count of them and knowing they were slowly disappearing from their pond because, evidently, their resident snapping turtle enjoyed duckling for supper. I got ducks a couple of summers when my kids were young. They provided us with…
Junior Assistant
My junior assistant and I joined in with moving some of the heifers today. It was only a four mile trek, with three of those along the highway, so today we replaced our horses with wheels and carried on. The neighbor is doing a controlled burn in case you noticed the smoke. The heifers are…
Plans
“This is not how I had planned my day…” says ten year old Quinlan. “Me, either,” says I. “But we own cows, so get used to it.” Difficulties with our pipeline had us worried. While I had just been bragging on the miles of pipeline we had across several pastures, something was wrong. Cattle drink…
