Back To It
You may recall I talked about potholder rugs back in early February, back before the world stumbled. Well, I’m back at them! I made one for my sister… This one I called the Continental… it reminds me of the colors of the Continental Army, navy blue, tan, and white with red accents. I traded this…
Kid Branding Portraits
Last week we had seven calves that needed branded. Somehow or another they had missed out on the other days we branded. Since all eight cousins were here, it was definitely going to be a kids’ branding. Daniel and Brandon just “legged them out”, meaning one just grabbed a hind leg and the other “busted”,…
Re-Red: June 21 – June 27, 2020
This week on Re-Red… Pronghorn antelope, Quinlan’s artistic photos, moving cattle with Bravo along learning the ropes, and the Indian Blanket wildflower.

#TBT: “A Find”, v.2.0

Sure enough, scattered thunderstorms were predicted. Luckily, the rain held off until after we were done! It was a fast and crazy ride… cool weather, good…
Heifer Test
It was a long day of gathering heifers and bleeding them for their 30 day pregnancy test. Brandon is the main guy for taking the blood samples from under the tail. I’ve done it a couple of times. Tess has done it. Today, Megan relieved Brandon twice, giving him a break. A little technical advice……
Re-Red: June 14 – June 20, 2020
This week’s RE-RED includes: Lots of moving cattle… A well camouflaged frog/toad… A different, threatening cloud that Daniel and I comment on… and then we decided should get going towards home… and the basement! More moving cattle… Pairing cattle… I hope I don’t make you dizzy with my editing! I know one thing, I’m not…
Strength
I only had time to do one adaptation of Lorelei’s photo today.
