Helping the guys the other day… had to snap a few scenic shots… I thought the snow covered deer trails looked like Christmas tinsel… I may regret not using this for this week’s puzzle, but all that black might be too difficult!

It’s There
Well, I never got to hang my witch decoration for Halloween… remember her? You can see her HERE. I was doubly determined, then, that I should hang a wreath for Christmas. We usually are gifted a natural wreath from a hunter who owns a greenhouse in Wisconsin… but it hadn’t arrived yet. I have three…

Re-Red Video: November 15 – November 23, 2020
An overview for the Wyoming ranch blog, Red Dirt In My Soul, from November 15 – November 23, 2020. This video covers some cow work with great little helpers, moving cattle down the highway, a cool cowboy’s eighth birthday photos, a hike through some red rocks, a wet dog, and painted windows.

Mountain Winter, or Lack Thereof
We drove up the mountain the other day. Seriously. In December. In the side by side. All the way to the top. In December. December. The smidge of snow is definitely unusual. We shouldn’t be able to get here except by snomobile. This makes us just a bit nervous, even though we know that most…

Calf Work
Last year’s calves are getting sorted… heifers from steers… and those that managed to cross fences and the creek, were sorted out from the two year old heifers. Vernon took Bravo along to help gather some, I think he made Bravo’s month! Bravo is on the back of the four wheeler as they bring the…

Moving
Moving calves down the Highway…

Corn Feeder
We decided this winter we would feed ear corn to the cows for supplemental feed. To do that easily and in a timely manner, you need a corn feeder. This spring, when we went to the Black Hills Stock Show, Vernon checked out a couple of feeders, and decided they’d be easy enough to make….

Q&A December 2020 Video
Here ’tis.

Waaaah
Well, I didn’t start editing my video in time… so an hour in, and I’m far from done! Ugh. I guess my next Q&A video will be up TOMORROW. Plus, who knew I’d have to update iMovie after updating to Big Sur. ? Waaaah. Waaaahhhhhhh. I need to do a Re-Red video, too. Oh, well….

#TBT: These Men, v.2.0
This was first posted December 1, 2009. This morning dawned crisp but sunny. The dogs were on alert hearing the semi’s tires grate along the frozen gravel. Dally began a low growl as it rolled along the mile long road into the ranch yard. Once within sight, her growl turned to a bark, and out…
