Brandon came to tell me there were mountain lion tracks by our centennial sign. Would I be interested in taking photos???? You bet! Turns out, the mountain lion had killed a deer and drug it over a couple of hills, across our cattle guard and the highway, and stashed it in some trees. As I…

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!

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…
