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…

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….

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…
Wordless Wednesday: “Bald Eagles”
I know you’ve seen it before, but it’s the best photo of the week, plus it looked like a challenge! If you’d like to try your hand at this week’s jigsaw puzzle, go HERE.
Horn Pay Day

You can call it that, but often around here it applies to finding the shed antlers of deer, elk, and moose. The bucks and bulls drop their antlers every winter, regrowing them in the spring. Those…
Little Things
The weather has been holding extremely well as of late. Sure, we’ve had a few snowstorms, even waking up to a big skiff of snow on Thanksgiving morning… but the snow has melted away (except in the darkest shadows) and the high temperatures have pleasantly been in the 30’s and 40’s. While that may sound…
