Just Ducky
After I finished canning the last 5 pints of salsa for the year, and cleaning house, and looking for calendar photos… I headed outside for some fresh air. I drove up and examined the center pivot from close up… still no power… and a few other things left to do… but I must say it…
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……
Aflame
Oh, I really really need to catch up on my sleep… so the little slideshow I thought about making is going on tomorrow’s schedule. We moved cows again today… A gorgeous 5 hours of work! Hopefully, I can be creative throughout tomorrow and have it ready for you. Until then, Thursday morning’s sunrise was brilliant…
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!…
Snowstorm Toughness
There’s all sorts of news today… *The shed is entirely gone… destroyed in an hour or so and hauled away after a few more hours. Bare ground, a few poles, and some concrete chips are all that’s left. *The pivot is assembled and plumbed. Electricity still needs to be changed and then rewired. The roll…
Way Back
I recently received some old photos… and I LOVE old photos! So, from the Way Back Machine… Look at the pretty little Herefords Greet Ranch used to raise… And even further back… this country was built with good horses! **** October 11, 2011 Feel Inclined October 11, 2010 The Hands of Greet Ranch (one of…
Wordless Wednesday – “Angus Heaven”
Our Angus cows were very happy in their new pasture… and the Big Horns have their first layer of snow pack… it’s looking good here in Wyoming! **** October 10, 2011 Scarecrow Contest October 10, 2010 A Visitor October 10, 2009 Library and Ambulance Benefit October 10, 2008 An Addendum
Quaint Character
Those calves we weaned yesterday? We vaccinated, weighed, and poured them today! We did, however, wait until after lunch as it was RAINING again this morning! YAY! About halfway through, Johnny switched with me, so I ran the scales! And I had that thought again… why can’t I remember Windex when we’re coming here? The…
Another Day Done
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…
