What a title! Yup, Back in the day, Q&A sessions were a regular part of this blog… This was first posted March 20, 2012. Finally… Here’s Part One… too many questions, so I divided this in half.
Wordless Wednesday; “Wall”

Mission Accomplished
A brilliant morning… With my standard Tuesday sidekick along, we helped moved the cows to a new field. With Vernon in the lead with their hay, Daniel and Brandon on four wheelers, Reagan and I in the side by side, and five dogs… they didn’t have a chance! Double click on the photo to see…
Spy Cam
The heifers are finally in calving mode, so I went down to help out a bit. Cleaning pens and helping Brandon and hauling food and water are my basic chores. We thought they’d keep on with busy activities so Vernon and I stayed home from the little girls’ basketball game tonight and let the parents…
Aspen Love
My little Fire King mug was damaged by going through the dishwasher. These alcohol inks are hand wash only… so I removed what was left and started over. Aspen trees were on this before… and I love the look. My big, warm your hands in the morning, mug was also ruined. It took a razor…
Itty Bitty Number Two
Little Bitty Calf. While calves tend to run the 60-90 pound range when they’re born, you’ll have ones that bust the average one way or another. This little girl did. She’s a tiny forty pounds. She’s doing well enough. We wondered if she was a twin, but, no… Her mom is no giant either… The…
Cycle Again
Finally, we’re starting to get some babies! I know, soon enough we’ll be on the other end of the spectrum… but we are all happy to see the calves hit the ground. As with anything, there’s more details behind the scenes. The heifers get fresh bedding every few days. Those who have calved get fed…

So Many Ways
I tend to leave my housework partially finished because I want to do more exciting things… like craft or build or go help the guys… I’ll never win awards for housekeeping and I do regret that lack of ambition… but I want to be outside and wandering out to see what Vernon is doing in…
Moving To High Country Pastures Video
Back to last summer and a couple of weeks of moving cattle up the mountain to various pastures… The scenery is gorgeous with green grass and wildflowers, and there are grandkids living the dream wherever you look!
Tomorrow
Daniel’s little herd has calved, and two days ago, the one cow that Vernon and I own privately calved as well. Yay! Isn’t she cute? Yes, she has shelter and dry ground to lay on, but I guess the snow wasn’t that bad with the 40* temperature. Our heifers are due to start calving on…
