I don’t know what you did today, but we continued training the next generation in basic ranch skills. More to come tomorrow.

TIRED
Lordy, Lordy. Finally sat down at 10:15. I’m pooped! We are planning on branding our last small bunch on Saturday, though the chance of us getting rained out looks high. We will decide in the morning! It doesn’t matter for the cooks… we have to be prepared to feed our crew. I cooked the roasts…

What Say You?
Thanks for all the comments and concern and stories you shared on yesterday’s post. It was quite the experience… if you didn’t see all of the comments, there was one person that shared that coughing could also “reset” and another person said that doing the maneuvers too long could make you pass out. Still another…
