Lucas works as the Alley Boss as we load out our cattle. I like that he is quiet… I like that he does this well, at least in MY book… He’s looking guilty because sometimes he’s not allowed to do this! But if it were up to me… he’d work the sides ALL the time….

Minute Movie: “Fishing AKA Bringing Home Supper”
I grew up fishing and hunting… and yesterday I declared it Fish Day. It’s been a long time, as my casting abilities attested to! But, like a bicycle, muscle memory is a wonderful thing… and soon I had a few bites! I snagged my first one, and enjoyed playing him so much, he ended up…
Minute Movie – “Bull Fight”
When you’ve spent thousands of dollars on a bull to improve the genetics of your herd, the last thing you want to see is two of them fighting. Bulls weigh around a ton… and when fighting with another… injuries can happen! Broken legs and broken, uhm… equipment… (remember, bulls are only good for one thing!)…
Minute Movie – “Ride Along”
Come with me in the early morning light through sagebrush taller than Panama… Pick your way through the maze and watch as Dally urges some cattle onwards… The cows bellow for their calves, and the calves bawl back, a pingpong serenade of “Where are you?” in Bovinese. Welcome to the Cowboy Life. Minute Movie…
Bits of My Day
Yup. Pretty much recovered… although I haven’t had a very stressful day. The guys have, as they were called out on a lightning fire this afternoon. It was popping all around us, and I was sent to watch for smoke around here, while the guys went to the fire. The plan was to call dispatch…
Minute Movie – “Dragonflies”
Well, Monday Movies has transformed into Minute Movies… Why limit myself to Mondays?? I *loved* everyone’s ideas for topics for the movies… and peaceful natural settings seemed to be at the top of the list. While this one doesn’t show the scenery or the distances of Wyoming, this closeup experience of a mountain pond casts…
Red Dirt Movies
I think I could make *Monday Movies* all the time. I find myself filming everything! I filmed the bulls fighting. I filmed the puppies. I filmed moving cattle (again). I filmed the horses eating! I believe it’s going to be a sickness. It’s quick and easy and enjoyable… so here’s my question for you. “What…
Monday Movie – “Wildland Fire”
No worries… the fire was calm… the guys were on the line… I’m just backup. **** July 25, 2010 Wedding Photos July 25, 2009 You’re Invited July 25, 2008 No entry.
Monday Movie – “The View”
I thought I’d try something new. Wednesdays are Wordless… I decided that Mondays should be Movie Night. A short, one minute video blog entry about something. Anything. Whatever. Although most of you love my photos, I always feel you’re missing out on “the experience”. We’ll see if the movies fulfill that… I’m sure you’ll let…
Learning Manners
Part of getting these pups ready for their new homes besides the standard physicals and shots… is a little behavior work. It never hurts to teach those kids some manners BEFORE they go off to their new lives! So I give you… Learning Manners: Sitting before Feeding aka the cutest puppy video ever! A little…
Puppies and Panama
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! We had to move some cows this morning… which resulted in a late arrival to the rodeo and fewer chances to take pictures. Don’t worry, I WILL share what I did manage to get… It also allowed me a rare instance… since Panama now lives up here at the Mills…
