We worked our heifers today and I’ll share the photos from today soon, but I did want to show off for a bit. November is a month full of birthdays for this family and I made one for my sister that I liked. Anyone out there remember macrame? Well, when we adventured over to Born…

Yay or Nay?
Time to help the guys… Our heifers have been around my house, eating in the fields… but it’s time to sort them. Brandon has the paperwork and their lifetime stats. Birthweight. Wean weight. Average Daily Gain. Due dates. Genetics. Now it’s time to gather them up and sort them. Will they stay or will they…
Greybull Valley Produce Tour
The final tour I attended as part of Wyoming Women in Ag, was the one to Greybull Valley Produce in Greybull, Wyoming. I admit, I had a few stops in Worland to do along the way, and so was a bit late in arriving. They raise mainly lettuce varieties but do have some fresh herbs…
Bryant Honey Tour
Our first tour at the Wyoming Women in Ag conference was to Bryant Honey. I’ve mentioned them before, back for those few years I tried my own hives. Don Bryant was a great help and I’m a fan of their honey! They also work with Vernon’s cousin out in California, sending bees back and forth…
Wyoming Women in Ag
The past two days, I’ve attended the Wyoming Women in Ag conference held over in Worland. I’ve been interested in attending the past few years and since it was just over in Worland this time, I could hardly pass it by. Thanks to the library and my boss for being flexible enough to swap out…
#TBT: Reinforcements, v.2.0
This was first posted November 9, 2012 ! My, how time flies! First of all, my apologies for not posting last night. Got home at 8 pm, ate some supper, sat down on the couch and about 9:30 fell asleep. I woke up just after midnight with a crick in my neck, and just too…
Wordless Wednesday: Final Push
For a jigsaw puzzle of this final push through the gate, go HERE.
Time to Pony Up Again
Initially, I had said I’d help trail the cows out, but that I may use the side by side. After that last long ride down the Mesa, my knee bothered me for quite a while. I’ve rolled my eyes plenty of times when the quiet is broken by loud motors… but better to have wheeled…
Real
They don’t even look real…
Photo Permission
Those of you who follow me on Facebook will have seen this already, but I know many of you aren’t on the Book of Face… so here ‘tis. I was contacted by Shannon Rollins and she asked permission to use a few of my Spring Creek Raid photographs in a video she and her husband,…
The Sort
So between cowboys and four wheeler riders, the cows and calves were penned. Time to separate them. Cows out the gate, calves into another pen. That meant two guys sorting them… with others running backup for when calves scooted by on accident. Three cowboys gathered up a dozen or so and urged them towards the…
Today’s Strategy
Sunrise at 7:45 or so. We’d left the house sooner than that. We had sold our steer calves in July and it was time to load them on trucks. It’s never so simple. They were grazing with their mommas in the fields, so gathering said fields was the first order of business. Vernon, me, Daniel,…
