This video covers from October 8 – 16, 2021. We preg test a small bunch at a leased pasture we call the Homestead. The old buildings are quite the scenic backdrop for my photos. Because the dirt road was too muddy for a pickup and horse trailer, we gathered our mountain pasture on four wheelers….

Cattle Work on the Ranch Video
I tried something different this time, I narrated the clips and photos for this latest video. Finding music, creating transitions, and that work takes TIME. This is a bare bones version, no background music. Just me jabbering. I do mis-speak a couple of times, but I just left it in… along with the “uh” and…
Cowboying Video
From August 29 through September 11, 2021, we did a fair amount of cowboying. We doctored a sick calf, moved cattle, pregnancy tested, and moved them again. In the middle of it all, Quinlan had some football games and his birthday. Bravo got some much needed cow work done as well.
Late Summer Video
Late summer work from August 14 – August 28, 2021 includes moving cattle, of course! Also, my husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary, so we visited Crazy Woman Canyon, another great statue by D. Michael Thomas, Dry Creek Petrified Tree EA, and the Red Grade Road out of Sheridan. You get a quick tour…
Staying Busy Video
Our busy schedule from July 27 – August 13, 2021 is reflected here. I make many trips up the mountain with grandkids and Bravo to check a water tank. It plugs up easily and since it’s one of only two sources of water in the pasture, we have to check it every day. On our…
Living the Best (Ranch) Life video
Finally! another video… I’m getting way behind, but here is the first part of July. While we celebrate Independence Day in Ten Sleep, the rest of July finds us moving many bunches of cattle, usually about sunrise. It’s also a great time to see cow elk and their calves. We finally celebrated Johnny’s 90th birthday…

Re-Red Video May 10 – May 17, 2021
This video covers our week of branding… so gathering cattle and branding take up 90%! Springtime traditions include gathering cattle from the pasture, sorting the pairs (mom and calf) into their new pasture, then branding the calves. Branding is an essential part since in this wide open land, cattle can sometimes end up miles from…
Ranch Living Video
Another “Re-Red” video! This one covers April 29 – May 9, 2021. I’ve been so busy lately, it doesn’t seem like I have time to make these videos! I’m wising up, though, and doing a bit for a few days instead of all at once. This video covers the Library Tea Party, planting oats and…
Spring Turnout and Crafting Video
Covering some wildlife, spring turnout for some of our cattle, my wood burned stool, and my son’s new Australian Shepherd puppies. This video covers April 21 – 28, 2021.
Springtime Work Video
Covering April 14 – 20, 2021, we go through a wintery commute home with two bull elk making an appearance, a gorgeous day working cattle, a return to winter conditions, then working more cattle as the snow retreats on a dark and gloomy day.
Ranch Life Moments – Wyoming (Video)
This video covers most of the month of March and into April of 2021. I’ve fallen behind in my weekly videos… a combination of not getting out to video and… LIFE. Included are some wildlife… pronghorn antelope and sandhill cranes… a determined calf trying to eat… curious cows… and the lecture I gave the girls…
