Well, it’s the end of October/first of November time around here… that means it’s time to move cows! We follow the same timeline year after year, so looking back (or re-reading) posts on this blog will find us repeating actions in a year long Groundhog Day type movie. Technically, it is referred to as transhumance….
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.
Money Makers
If only we could sell these as free range, pasture raised, organic turkeys for Thanksgiving . Boy, could we make some money! There’s more out of this photo, too… and, just think, it wasn’t that many years ago, there were no turkeys around here!

Calendar News
A new month. Wow. How’d that happen so fast? The guys have been doing assorted projects… repairing some fence that an elk herd must have blown through… doing some repair on the big waterline out in the Badlands… checking the fences out in the Badlands as well. Then there’s hauling hay and taking salt to…
Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween!
Inky
I probably shouldn’t have. I’ve talked myself out of it for over a year. But I finally gave in. I bought myself some more craft supplies! Like I need more crafts to do… Alcohol ink. You can use them many different ways… but since I have some plain white dollar store mugs, plates and teapots…
Sign
Give me a sign! Painted this today over in Worland… it ain’t perfect, but it’s better than what they had… which is nothing!
#TBT: Water Is Flowing, v.2.0
This was first posted October 29, 2010. It’s that time of year… Snow has fallen on the mountaintops. Drifts lay across the roads. Any cattle left up high are finding their own ways down the mountain… or cowboys are bundling up and riding in the snow. Been there. Done that….
