Blue sky. We actually had Blue Sky! So, naturally, we worked cows. **** I guess it’s a new month… any questions out there for another Q&A post in a few days? Send me your questions… and I’ll answer them to the best of my ability!!! C’mon, don’t be shy!

Party On
While other areas of Wyoming (and just up the road from here) are dealing with a foot or more of new snow… we, luckily, escaped this storm. That’s OK. There’s plenty of moisture around. The guys moved a few cows this morning… and then, we had the party for little miss Lorelei. Three. She’s three!…
The Saga of Josephine
Pecking order. Have you ever wondered where that phrase came from? I suggest you watch some chickens, and it will quickly become apparent to you.

Soddy
Even the old bunkhouse loves all the rain…
Cowboyed Up
The rain continued this morning, but was predicted to clear, so we finally cowboyed up, saddled up, and began to work cows. We’re putting cattle out onto our BLM allotment. (That does NOT mean Black Lives Matter, it means Bureau of Land Management. Seeing “BLM” in headlines lately gets me confused! I get confused easily!)…
Whine
Rain, rain, and more rain. People in Wyoming shouldn’t complain about rain. For an area that receives only 14″ of it throughout a year, every little bit helps. We usually measure rainfall in hundredths of an inch! This March was the second wettest that Johnny has recorded in all his years of recording the weather….
