Wow… We received 10″ of nice, wet, spring snow. This will help this country turn green… well, as soon as it warms back up! While we can usually count on inside work on days like today, the storm was over and it turned partially sunny. Guess we will work calves. Little Reagan would grab a…
Ranch Life Moments – Wyoming (Video)
This video covers most of the month of March and into April of 2021. I’ve fallen behind in my weekly videos… a combination of not getting out to video and… LIFE. Included are some wildlife… pronghorn antelope and sandhill cranes… a determined calf trying to eat… curious cows… and the lecture I gave the girls…

This video for the blog, Red Dirt In My Soul, covers the end of February to the fifth of March, 2021. My final video of Valentino, the highway mountain lion kittens, more calving videos from milking mommas to bedding them down with straw… a little feeding from the pickup and spring snow completes this video.
