Cows, Cowboys, Kids & Art Video
Wyoming ranch activities during November 9 – 26, 2021. My drake mallards refuse to fly away preferring to stay in my chicken coop where the living is easy!

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.
