Together
Boy, I almost thought I’d missed it. I’ve done that before… I get my head down and my focus on something else and zing! the days fly by. But nope. I’m safe. In just a few days… I’ll be celebrating my 10th BLOGOVERSARY!!!! I keep doing the math… but, 2018 minus 2008 sure makes ten…
New Toy
It’s together and ready to go. It’ll never look as pretty again!
Waiting
Normally, after gathering our cows from the badlands, we would be sorting them… Early calvers from later ones… And vaccinating with scour guard vaccine that they could pass along to their unborn calves… But we’re not. Our corrals are icy. Built on a slight incline, which is great for drainage, it makes for a tricky…
Gathering
To everything there is a season… Sometimes they move around a bit on the calendar, but this year, we got the full use of our badlands BLM allotment.

We’re continuing the After the Bell program, though I’ve backed off on the detailed activities and settled for chess tournaments and the like! It is the future planning that is getting to us now… Will the…
New Home
We decided to send some of our heifers that we bangs vaccinated yesterday over to a feedlot. Normally, we would feed them ourselves in a corral throughout the winter and into spring when we AI them. This year, we’re mixing things up! We loaded them up… Then dropped them off in their new home. They…
Required
We spent the day doing the required bangs vaccination of our young heifer calves. The Good Doctor and some helpers were on hand. He has his own tattoo he must place in the ear as proof of vaccination as well as a numbered orange button tag. By the end of the day, green tattoo ink…
