I jumped in with Vernon today… Some of our cows had got mixed in with the neighbor’s… plus they needed salt, mineral, and dust. I know I’ve talked about giving cattle their salt and mineral before… but I may not have mentioned the dust. Think flea powder for your dog… but this is fly powder…

Wordless Wednesday – “Tools of the Trade”
Thanks to Daniel for noticing, and Megan for taking this picture for me at branding… At first glance, it’s just a horsetrailer and horses… but there are more tools of the trade visible. Up close, you notice four pairs of spurs temporarily hung on the side… Once more…
Wordless Wednesday – “You’re Not Taking a Picture of Me, Are You?”
Nope, Daniel. Nope. I’m not taking a picture of you! **** Winner of the SoapStone to be announced tomorrow! Yes, there was a winner! More of a story to tell than I can do on Wordless Wednesday, though! 😉

And I wonder what his name really is… This boy is BIG. It’s hard to tell just How Much Bigger… until he walks up to the fence and…
Minute Slide Show: Shaw Pasture
Yay! Accomplished this little job in between raking leaves and cleaning house! Amazing how easy it is if you don’t wait until 11 pm to do things like this! Here’s a little slide show, sharing our 5 hours of trailing cows to our Shaw Pasture. Beautiful day… 60 something degrees… no wind… barely any dust……
Minute Movie: Trailing By
This Minute Movie is twice as long as normal… but I just couldn’t resist the peacefulness that saturates this video! We are letting the cows trail by… Vernon on horseback in the middle of the gate, getting a good count as they walk past. Daniel leaves my side, and walks to the back of the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Carrying On”
My son and father-in-law deep in conversation. “Carrying On” says it all. **** October 31, 2011 Let It Sift Into Your Soul… October 31, 2010 Lost Three October 31, 2009 Cow Work October 31, 2008 I Love This Country!
Absolute Love
Yay. The cows are about halfway down… the neighbors were kind enough to let us overnight in their pasture… Then, of course, instead of taking them to the fire ravaged Mesa Pasture, we’ll bring them on home. We, meaning the guys, because I’ll be on duty at the library. But I’m getting ahead of myself!…
