When moving cows along a road… should you desire to split them… I have the technique for you to try. First, get your horse herd to stand in the middle of the road. Now, how you accomplish this is up to you… ours seemed to be well trained at this! It was a standoff! The…

Here’s Your Sign
Lookie, lookie! Brandon gave me this sign… and we hung it on the kennel door. He cut it out of steel and gave it little hangers to bend over the wire. Originally, I think we planned for a portable kennel door, but since it doesn’t get used much, if at all… we put it here….
Squint and Back Away Slowly
I felt a little “off”… laid around for a little bit… discovered, thankfully, that it wasn’t the horrid flu that is consuming Ten Sleep at this time… but I took the “time off” to finish a new pastel. You know, I think I do pretty good, then I see someone else’s *real* talent… and I…
Nowood Creek Ice Puzzle
We have received NO new snow in the past week. It’s actually been fairly nice, with temps wandering up into the low 40˚s. The sun warms it up quite nice and the wind has been nonexistent or just a slight breeze. Now, if it can hold on through calving season… ha! We would have actually…
Artwork
Well, seems as if I spent my Sunday cheering on the Denver Broncos to Superbowl 50! It was a dramatic and traumatic game… sorry if you’re not a football fan, but I have been all my life. Well, at least for those teams I care about! I sure can’t just watch football CONSTANTLY. I also…
Go! WYO!
Have to share this little crafty project I just finished last week for a friend’s birthday. She’s an avid University of Wyoming fan… following sports of all kinds… hence, “Steamboat”, the bucking horse logo. It’s all done with brown, tan, and gold Sharpies. I rather like ’em! Go! WYO!
Blogoversary and a Winner!
Yup. 2008 was when Shreve from Daily Coyote told me to go for it… start my own blog… and I did. That first year I wasn’t consistent until fall when, after another cup of coffee at the cafe, Shreve told me to be dedicated. I stepped it up… and barring slow or non-existent internet, family…

Done With That Chore
Today was a repeat of yesterday… except this time, we vaccinated heifers. Remember, heifers are our young two year old cows that haven’t had a calf yet. These will be the ones we will watch over very closely… doing 4 hour checks throughout the day and night. Of course, there aren’t as many as yesterday,…
Good Day
A little cow work today… Daniel, on the left, is giving a mineral supplement… so the girls are getting the right balance of nutrients… Brandon is worming them, because cows eat grass where things have pooped and ingest worms which grow and then are pooped out for other things to graze and get worms… Yeah,…
