Since today is May 1, that means an official ending to my sponsorship from DeTye Vet Supply. I hope that sometime in the past month, you’ve hit the link to their website and catalog found on my right sidebar. Spring tends to be big months for the purchase of vaccines. With all the uncertainties facing…
#TBT: Dogs of the Day, v.2.0
This was first posted April 25, 2009. Today was the first day in a few, that I’ve been able to settle in, do some chores, play an extended amount of time with the puppies, and have a nice visit with my daughter and her boyfriend. We’ve been moving cows, you see… Elsa and Dally were…

Kid Power
I broke it down for them. Be quiet. Be calm. Don’t wave your flags until you want a calf to move. They jumped right in, and I had to hustle to keep up with them. They worked the calves down the alley. They worked them into the smaller pen. The gates were heavy. The calves…
The Big Bunch

Of course, Reagan is their “best” assistant. Soon, though, school turned into Cowboying 101. The Best Assistant…

We branded again today. Not everything, but a fair sized bunch. With only five adults working, and me trying to improve my electric branding iron skills, there was no way I could take photos. Since Jaxon was there, and there’s not many kid-friendly jobs around… I told him to grab my camera. Branding. Courtesy of…
Calf Hauler
If you look closely, you can see a calf suspended on the back of the four wheeler. This calf was very young, and couldn’t travel with the main bunch. Brandon decided to give him a ride. This rack fits into the hitch, and holds the calf at eye level for his mom. It lets her…
Working On It
My newest little project… This little table is winning me over… I’m not sure I’ll be able to sell it! There’s a bit more woodburning to do and I might line the drawer and the final stain… What do you think?
