Rodeo Pics
No, you didn’t miss it… there was no post last night. Last night was a cool, summer evening, perfect for a Good Friend and gypsy dinner and glass of wine and campfire. My true test of possible friendship has always been “do I want to hang around a campfire with this person”? Well, my visitor…
Holiday Weekend
It ain’t the Fourth of July if you don’t sweat it out down at the rodeo… 259 photos later… I’m cooked. I might find 20 I will like… and, yep… I’ll share. I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend. I did! Here’s the puzzle version…Welcome to the Rodeo
Independence Day
Enjoy Independence Day! Be happy to have friends and family, and to celebrate in your own way… this magnificent country of ours!
Treat
While we provide salt and mineral to our cattle… they aren’t the only ones that benefit. Often other animals will come to the salt lick and lick and chew at the dirt. Salt seems to escape its containers… they will be shoved or kicked over, or rain will wash some through some cracks in their…
Pay Day
We shipped our steers to their buyer in Nebraska. It’s what we’ve worked for since these steers were born in the spring of 2015. It’s pay day. It’s also a chance for 4 generations to work together… well, kinda… he’s getting there! Keep on learning, Jaxon! You’ve got the best teacher!

Our yearling steers sold this morning, so we all met here and watched the video auction and then, for lunch, ate some nice Greet Ranch beef… While we were towards the top of the prices, of course, the market is down compared to the past two years. It’s not like we have control over the…
Going Nowhere
I continue to check the water and cows and salt and mineral supplies on the Slope Pasture. That means load the dogs, grab some water for me!, a 50# sack of mineral and salt each, check the gas gauge on the Rhino, make sure you have on wraparound sunglasses and a tight fitting baseball cap…
Shiny
Walked my little feet off today… or it feels like I did. Chasing cows through the brush, running the chute for a while, (until I started to overheat), then mowing my lawn with my little lawnmower (since some small child stole the keys to my riding lawnmower…) Whew. But, let’s look at the little thing…
