With all of the extra curricular activities… we’ve fallen behind on a few chores. One was the bleeding of our AI heifers, to see if the AI actually took. This has to be done within a certain time, because after we AI’d them, of course, we put in a bull to catch them on their…

Ugly Job
Back to normal. Kinda. The guys are back cutting, raking, baling, and stacking hay. The BLM continues their efforts at watching for hot spots… trees that smolder and then take off burning again… They have had their huge helicopter hauling water for two days. They’ll keep doing that for a while, because one tree could…

Minute Movie : “Bovine Breakfast”
Every morning across this country… men and women leave the comfort of beds and warm houses and head out into the cold and snow and ice and wind and mud. With pitchforks and feeders, tractors and hay wagons, wheelbarrows and four-wheelers, they haul breakfast to their anxious audience. They pitch alfalfa hay or peanut hay,…

Hay Hauler
I’ve spent an hour and a half a day these past few days working on sewing those crib skirts… and I only have one finished. Now why is that? Since I don’t like to sit for too long, I break it up with other little jobs. I *did* hang one thing on my wall… I…
Futile Fertility
While I’ve been messing around with some little chores… the guys have continued to hay… Now that a couple of the fields were cleared of their cutting, Vernon decided to try something new. Well, not new to the world of agriculture, but something we’ve never done before. No till seeding. I know, many of you…
Bring A Promise
As grey as yesterday was… hovering over our miserable-ness like buzzards… today was a gorgeous brilliant Wyoming day! Sunshine. Warmth. Red rocks and sagebrush alike washed by yesterday’s rain/snow mix into gleaming versions of their usual dusty selves. I waited on Johnny’s arrival… sauntered to the creek’s edge and closed my eyes. Robin to my…

Feeding Two Video
I started this last time with the Feeding One Video… how to load your hay trailer! Now it’s on to pitching that hay to the cows. Johnny’s driving, and I’m riding on the trailer. With a bit of a breeze and the movement of the trailer, the wind chill now hits a low that squeezes…
Feeding One Video
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Vimeo gets my Feeding One video ready to go before I have to go “home” tonight. I got a late start editing and it really is probably too long for most of you to watch… but it was *quit editing and get it uploaded* or forget about it until…
