It was a tad cool this morning, -7, so when I trudged out to the chicken coop to set up my GoPro, I also brought along a bottle of bubbles. I seem to always have some on hand these days… I wanted to try to freeze bubbles. You see these things on the internet, you…

Awry
One of those days where plans go awry… We were headed to Cody for scheduled car repairs, but a winter storm blew in, so we made it as far as Worland! We made the loop of “fun” places to go… the BLM, the accountant, the bank, and the vet, before turning for home. Sometimes life…
#TBT: A Team
When I first arrived at the ranch, oh, a Loooooong Time Ago… We used a team to feed cows in the winter. During the summer, they lived a life of leisure. But one time, someone arranged a Team Pulling Contest down at the Ten Sleep Rodeo Grounds. Johnny took Buck and Booger down to compete….
Wordless Wednesday – “White on Grey”
White On Grey
Mystery In The Coop
I do believe I have a dilemma. I’ve been having a mystery in the chicken coop. There’s been an unidentified perpetrator destroying eggs. The first suspects were the young roosters. Over time, the circle of life dismissed the roosters from the suspect list. That left the one young hen, as I didn’t think my tried…
Winter Storm
When you hit the highway and visibility is one and a half delineator posts… When the snowplow must be busy on the mountain because your highway is still unplowed… When your wheels throw up more snow on your rear window than your wiper can handle… When your top speed of 30 mph seems plenty fast……
Spoon Again
More spoons ready to go. All with a western theme, no surprise. But then, inspiration came… And this guy appeared. With flames on the handle, and his eye on the front, I’ll be sorry to see this guy go.
Fermenting Chicken Feed
I’ve read about it for a while… and just started trying it with my chickens. Fermenting their chicken feed. Translate that to just soaking their chicken feed, and you’ll take the scariness out of it. They tell you that fermenting your feed will increase the protein, or rather, let them get the full protein out…
Slooooow
It seems to be very slooooow around here of late… The guys are feeding cows in the morning, but with four guys spreading out the chores… It goes fairly fast and easy (barring breakdowns). I remember it taking until almost lunch sometimes back in the Way Back Times. Maybe that’s like walking uphill both ways…
#TBT: Old School
We used to always haul horses in the pickup or big one ton if there was five or six to haul! Them newfangled horse trailers are kinda nice, though.
Wordless Wednesday – “Topping”
Topping Puzzle
HE No More
Well, here’s a post you squeamish readers may want to skip! Since it’s just a part of ranchlife, you know I’ll include it, but, the photos that come up, may not be for viewing over your morning coffee. Now that I’ve lost a few of you… Remember our surprise colt, Jackpot??? Cute little, tiny, itsy…
