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…

Ranch Living Video
This video for the blog, Red Dirt In My Soul, covers the end of February to the fifth of March, 2021. My final video of Valentino, the highway mountain lion kittens, more calving videos from milking mommas to bedding them down with straw… a little feeding from the pickup and spring snow completes this video.
I’ve Been Busy
What do ranchers do in their spare time? Craft! I know I’ve shared some of these, but I made a video of all my latest…
Ranch Life in February Video
I got out of the habit of making my Re-Red videos… making instead my Valentino, calving, work ethic, and mountain lion videos. So, today, I tried to catch up, covering most of the month of February. Since you’ve seen so much in the other videos… this one is fairly short. I feel better, though, and…
Ranch Q&A Video.
Well, my apologies. Come to find out, YouTube doesn’t just let anyone go “live”. So my Q&A for this morning had to be done on Facebook. It’s now available on YouTube and, HERE!
Lions’ Tales – the Video
The past month I’ve posted a teaser or two about the mountain lions that hung around for a few days. Tonight, the video arrives! Yes, it’s a LONG video, but each day I saw them, I noticed new things. First. This has been a bucket list item for me. I’ve seen the tail of one…
Two Days of Calving Video
This week I chose to just share the past two days of calving; yesterday, nice and blue skies, today, a snowstorm rolled in. I also chose not to put music with this video. One thing I love about calving, is the quiet and calmness. The soft “mehs” of the heifers… the little newborn voices in…
Valentino Video
I’ve about given up on downloading my Live Facebook videos… so I made you a quick video today to make up for them! Enjoy Feeding Valentino!
Still Here
Valentino is still here. He’s a tiny little fighter. He is far from being out of the woods, though, and he gives me a roller coaster ride… is he breathing? oh, look, he wants to stand… I don’t like the sound of his breathing. Look at how bright his eyes are! I never know what…
Fun and Work Video
This week’s video for the blog, has us exploring Castle Gardens near Ten Sleep, a quick view of our new calving sheds and heaters, and laying a pipeline. The pipeline will eventually be buried, but for now, we run it on top of the ground. This covers January 23-30, 2021.
#TBT: Baby Calf Walk Video, v.2.0
For this Throwback Thursday, it’s Baby Calf Walk. As newborn calves are born in the calving shed, they are soon moved outside to make room for the next calving mother. That means we will walk them on their staggering hooves, through snow, when they have no idea how to simply walk, much less follow their…
