Back to the Castle
The canyon sent up shimmering waves of heat, convenient for the dark turkey vultures that rode in tilting strides on the thermals. Though the sandstone was a well worn and faded white, heat bubbled off its 500 vertical feet as the morning sun hit its western wall. Sitting in the crushed weeds, I watched as…

“Bloody hell, this is a sh***y job”
The job today was to gather and bleed our heifers. The morning was spent gathering them from their pasture and trailing them home. We had a bit of difficulty there… we have a creek crossing that they just can’t hit. It’s built like a sharply turned fishhook, down into a cutbank, and then across the…

My friend, Bush Babe, from Australia, did indeed…
Stay Tuned
Now THAT was interesting! Eight of you were kind enough to take part in my little informal survey… and then I was stuck trying to figure out how to carry on this discussion/question/answer/survey thing. I hope you find this interesting and not a lecture and/or too boring. Randy suggested I explain each of my topics…
Let’s Learn
The boys and Johnny and I tagged our steers this morning. Since we started selling our yearlings on the internet, we’ve found quite a few buyers like to have them age and source verified. In essence, that means we provide the paperwork to prove that we calved these steers here a year ago, and they’ve…
