This was first posted June 21, 2010. More often than not, I have the pleasure of making the parts run to Worland when the guys break down their tractors, balers, discbines, pickups, or any other vitally important piece of equipment… I’m not really a big fan of those trips… though eating out in Worland…

Re-Red Video May 10 – May 17, 2021
This video covers our week of branding… so gathering cattle and branding take up 90%! Springtime traditions include gathering cattle from the pasture, sorting the pairs (mom and calf) into their new pasture, then branding the calves. Branding is an essential part since in this wide open land, cattle can sometimes end up miles from…
Rangeland
Spent a little time today (re-)learning how to do some rangeland monitoring. I took a class on it years ago, but we never followed through. Now we’re putting it in the next generation’s hands… with Megan writing down the types of plants B. is seeing at 12″ intervals. Of course, Brandon has his Masters in…
Father’s Day Gather
Time for the steers to come off their BLM allotment. We’ve already taken our cows out so they could meet their bulls in different pastures but we always leave the steers out longer to gain more weight on that good hard grass. Sunrise found us horseback… Wonder of wonders, the temperature was supposed to be…
Isham

Looks good enough to eat…
#TBT: Crane in Grass, v.2.0
This was first posted June 15, 2010. K, Folks, here it is! My “Crane in Grass” is making its completed debut… I know…DEFINITELY not square, which is easy to see outdoors but in the dark shop on an uneven floor it was more, uh… difficult. I can eyeball things much better than that! I also…

Amazing
I met with some people about a possible logging operation on the mountain today. Vernon was busy repairing the baler and getting haying back in production, so he sent me. I didn’t have much to say, but I always enjoy seeing new country. After the meeting, my sister and I went to our little timber…
On The Edge of A Cliff
As par for our summers… we actually HAVE been working on a water project. We’ve been up to our Mesa Pasture a few times, returning this afternoon as well. It was 99 degrees. Not a great day for manual labor… but we had the skid steer, so life was pretty nice despite the temperature. A…
Wedding Adventure
What a wonderful place for a wedding! It made for a late night getting back home, hence no post last night.. but, my… it was gorgeous. You might want to check out this location. Congratulations to C. And J.!
