He’s still not great at eating from his step mom, but I try to get him to look up for his food when *I* feed him! Notice the wet curly hair on his head and neck. That means his step mom loves him and is bathing him. He also still is a slow drinker… but…
Bigger Lens
Did I ever tell you about the time I wished I had a bigger lens on my camera? Yes. Two. Actually, three. But that was in the video… Don’t you think I need a bigger lens?
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!
Sorry
Talk about frustrating. They’ve changed how you download live videos from Facebook and I can’t seem to save/download them. Next time I’m going live on YouTube. Stupid Facebook. After our impromptu sledding party which turned into a home made pizza party which ended with Valentino not wanting to eat his supper… and now I’ve just…
How Is He?
Everyone wants to know… how is Valentino? Well… He’s great! There was a scary little mixup, but that was just on my part… I just came back in from feeding him, and he ate 98% of a pint, so I’m happy. Tomorrow starts a new chapter in his life… and I think I will try…

Every morning, most people commute to work…Work being at a desk…sitting…pushing paper…or computer keys…Every morning, Vernon walks out the door (usually at 7 am) and is on the job. Occasionally, I help, so now you get to come along and share in our work!First, we feed the cattle.You…
Wordless Wednesday: “Blue Country”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this blue country, go HERE. P.S. Valentino is still doing fine. He’s down with his mother… no longer in my mud room!
Hanging In There
Brandon stopped in to weigh Valentino today. He’s a 45 pounder! Woohoo. He’s still around… each day gives him more of a chance. I visited with my vet, The Good Doctor, who enlightened me about some things about preemie calves. His recommendations were to try some steroids, which help with the development of his GI…
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…
Valentino
2:30 am, a series of “mehs” woke me up. Vernon has checked the heifers and found #91’s calf had made an appearance. Although it was born inside, -22° is still cold and at only 40 pounds or so, the little thing was premature. Hence, the visit to my mud room. I rotated warm towels on…
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.
Watch Them
Snowing lightly. Temperatures below zero. Slight breeze. Humid. Foggy conditions. Even though we weren’t going to bring the heifers up to the calving shed until next week, the guys brought them up anyway. Storm fronts and lower barometric pressure often brings on labor. Vernon did his first 2 a.m. check last night. It was -13°….
