We preg tested and weaned our last little bunch today as well as helped the neighbors with theirs. We’ve leased some pasture from them, so it’s easy enough to do… You just have to play Shuffle the Cows! Gather our bunch, sort off the calves, start pregging and start hauling the calves away in the…

Good Dogs
While we were pairing up our cows the other day, guess who was told to “Go Lay Down!” ? And they did! Good dogs! Just a heads up… today and the next few days are gonna be crazy! While I’m rushing around, I’d love for you to enjoy some Wyoming scenery and relax! **** September…
Tag Team
We moved 70 or so pairs a couple of miles today. It was warm on the mountain, though we all came prepared with jackets or sweatshirts… never quite trusting that it won’t be cold and breezy! Lucas really wanted to come, but I think it would have been just a smidge too much. We thought…
I Love Questions…
Just another day at the library… though I must admit, my last minute Story Time theme of Pirates turned out rather well… Our regular person couldn’t make it, so we read The Treasure, made skull and crossbone flags, searched for diamonds and jewels (leftovers from Mardi Gras), and found a treasure chest in the back…

Live With It
Hmmm. On yesterday’s entry, I saw 7 comments… figured I was spammed! But, no! You were nice enough, once again, to encourage me, this time to write another kids’ book! Something with a ranch twist to it, instead of a dairy “feel”. Well, I have done that once… That’s how this blog turned into Red…
Pet Peeve #532
Pet peeve #532. So fifty feet away from Quinlan and I, is a corral full of commercial Angus… and I have to read a “farm” book to my grandson where all the cows are spotted. Please, someone write a kid’s book where there are BEEF cattle represented! Sigh. **** September 16, 2011 Eggs and Tomatoes…

Git ’em!
Long day. Great morning… riding through the trees… listening to elk bugle! Took video, it’s dusty and noisy with wind and camera noise, but if you pay attention, you definitely hear those bulls bugling and grunting. No time to upload it, though, after getting home, I started cooking for tomorrow’s big day. Maybe in a…
