With branding accomplished, it’s been time to move the cattle out to various pastures. Some go here… some go there… Some are easy, short rides… some not so much! It just depends. All of our property is not contiguous. While it would be nice, back in the early days everyone knew to mimic the wildlife,…

#TBT: May Snow
I recently received some old family photos… and scrolling through them on my computer, it was hard to choose which to share first. I finally decided on this series of three pics taken May 4, 1929. Now we’re just rolling into June of 2018, so these are 89 years old. They belonged to Wyoma Pyle,…
Celebrate
We had to have Daniel’s birthday party to kick off AI Season, Gathering Season, and Prep-for-Branding Season! There’s not a lot of down time from here on out… And … it is Daniel’s 30th birthday … Everyone had to help him celebrate!
#TBT: Backstory
I’d like to know the backstory here… Work’s over… time to listen to some music? Instruments of choice? You work, we’ll play! What do you think? *Picture from negative, no date, no names*
Choose Your Mood
Is he mad, hot, irritated, exhausted, unhappy, bored, reflective, thoughtful, or ???
Birthday Girl
Thanks, everyone for the well wishes and concern over my tooth and pain issues. I read all my comments even if I may not respond to all of them. Those of you who shared your own stories… thanks for trusting me with your experiences. For those of you handling similar crises, be strong, breathe, cry…
Why’s and Wherefore’s
Nothing like being late to the party, and everyone’s gone! I was 15 minutes later than I should have been, and the guys had already left the barn to move our first bunch of cows. And they didn’t have my my horse saddled either! 😉. I zoomed, and caught up to help them pair up….
#TBT: Stacking Hay
From a negative.
#TBT: Hereford Branding
No date. Branding Herefords.
#TBT: Tiny House and More
I admit. While I like seeing the “new” tiny home tv shows… and the builder’s creativity… I always ask myself… Why didn’t they just buy a RV or house trailer or… sheep wagon!? This photo, with two dapper men, a sheep wagon, a spare wagon, team, and riding horse, and perhaps the photographer’s car, pose,…
Easter Fun
Back in the day… I’d lay a trail of candy, which my kids had to follow… at the end would be their Easter baskets. Then they could go find the eggs! Well, I decided to do something for the grandkids along those lines. I came up with a Scavenger Trail. I handed them a photo…
Cousin Time
We were short Waylon, but all the rest of the cousins had a great day together… Jaxon let the other big boys ride his “new” little Kitty Cat snow machine in the remaining snow. While they were waiting for their turn, there was always mud puddles or mud to keep them occupied. Then it was…
