I’ve told myself over and over again… I don’t need another craft… I don’t need another craft… Welp, I’ve got another craft… Any guesses? I’m pretty sure this is a craft few of you have heard about. Hopefully, tomorrow I can give it a really good try…

Throwback Thursday: Helpful Tip, v.2.0
This was first posted January 30, 2016. 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…
Wordless Wednesday: Letting the Dogs Go
For a jigsaw puzzle of the dogs bringing up the cows, go HERE.
Long Cold Day
Well, it was -15 at my place and colder at Daniel’s, but it was the day we’d planned to work cows… so work cows, we did. At one point, Brandon held his syringe in the exhaust of the side by side to help warm it up. The pour on Daniel was using was in by…
Lost Among the Wolves, III
I recently had a relative send me this old story published over 50 years ago. Since it’s reached its 50 year limit, I thought I’d share it with you over the next few days. It’s quite the story! Lost among the wolves by Mary E. Witherup in Wyoming Magazine, Vol VIII No. 2 June-July 1975,…

Update
I thought I’d give a quick update on my freeze branding. We freeze branded mid November, you can read about it here. My first attempts at my brand aren’t overly great… but they will do. My “slash lazy A” is thinner than I’d like, so I probably needed to hold it on a bit longer….
Throwback Thursday: Eighteen
I about forgot… after checking last week I hadn’t overshot the date, I just vaguely knew today that I was missing something. I guess I’m getting old and forgetful! Let’s do math… 2026 – 2008. 18. Really? Really? So, yes, that long ago, I sat down to start writing this blog. Am I insane, or…
Wordless Wednesday: Among the Willows

In Sight
Vernon thinks he may be done digging trenches for pipelines. At least until further plans are made. Not that there isn’t finishing work like backfilling and installation of tanks… but, whew, what a project it has been. I should measure the length of the trenches, average the number of scoops per mile, and figure out…
PAP Happy
Once again it was time to PAP test the young bulls and heifers that belong to Daniel and I. We don’t do this for all the ranch’s, just ones we personally own. Daniel does it because he sells his bulls and knowing that his breeding is producing low PAP bulls and heifers is a great…
