This was first published November 11, 2009. It breaks my heart to see puppy noses from the past, knowing that Rimrock English Shepherds just cannot catch a break when it comes to raising puppies. I also look at these photos and smile, for I do have some wonderful memories of raising puppies. Dally and her…

Ranch Recap and Remembrance
Red Dirt In My Soul, a photographic journal of Wyoming ranch life, covers fall scenery, the Hunter Fest, a building project, and moving cattle off of the mountain top in disagreeable weather. This video covers the week of October 11 – October 17, 2020. It also includes a remembrance of “Eden” who died October 12….
Another Piece
Thank you all. One more piece of my heart waiting at the gate for me. Eden. As in “Garden Of”. I’m not the only one suffering… other people… and another dog… Bravo and Eden used to play and wrestle on the way to the chicken coop every night. Last night he stuck to my heels……
Oh, Eden
Oh, Eden… Rest easy, sweet girl. BHRRimrock Sweetgrass Edenfire, 2014-2020.

Watch Him
It was time to gather the Joe Henry. This grazing allotment is named after the original homesteader that the Greets bought out in 1909. We run with one other rancher in this allotment, and since he runs Hereford cattle instead of Angus, like us, it’s very easy to separate the herds. Bravo got to go…
First Gather
Early morning. It’s time to gather our pairs from the badlands pasture. We leave our yearling steers behind and the neighbor’s cattle for a bit longer, but we’re ready to pull our cows out and put them into a different pasture. If you look closely in the photo, you might just be able to make…

#TBT: Gardening Dogs, v.2.0
This was first posted May 7, 2009. Do you know the old joke about the guy who wanted to be a turkey farmer??? He returned twice to the hatchery where he’d purchased his turkeys… each time saying all his turkeys had died. The third time the hatchery owner asked him specifically what he was doing…
#TBT: Dogs of the Day, v.2.0
This was first posted April 25, 2009. Today was the first day in a few, that I’ve been able to settle in, do some chores, play an extended amount of time with the puppies, and have a nice visit with my daughter and her boyfriend. We’ve been moving cows, you see… Elsa and Dally were…
