Just a few quick shots of branding today until I have time to crop and finish more… plus there’s riding first thing in the morning, so this will NOT be a midnight post! I need my sleep…
The Book
Tomorrow is our branding. It will be our “small” one, with only a bit over 100 calves. That means the cowboys gathered the pasture today… but I babysat the little girls and finished up my share of the cooking. Since I’m back at work at the library, my Wednesday and Thursday were booked. Get it?…
#TBT: Branded in Sepia, v.2.0
This was first posted May 17, 2009. I can’t help myself… whenever it is branding time, I have to switch my camera over to sepia mode. J. and J. share a story as Victoria swings a loop.I could do it as an effect on my Iphoto program… but for me, I like the real thing….

PAP Testing
In 2012, we hosted a clinic by Dr. Tim Holt from Colorado State University, on PAP testing. PAP is Pulmonary Arterial Pressure. Running Angus cattle at higher elevations can cause something called Brisket Disease, which is recognized by labored breathing and swelling in the brisket area. If you get the cow or calf down the…
Re-Red Answers
Well, it looks like Re-Red is a hit… so thank you for that! Should I have put some info on the video? I thought it would distract, but that just might be me… Rosemary, the music is always listed on the SHOW MORE under the actual video on YouTube. You can learn a lot from…
Introducing Re-Red
I’ve been thinking lately that I need a simple way to share more of the photos and videos that I take every day of every week. The best or most informative make it here… but then there’s the good ones, and the not so good ones whose stories don’t get told. I either run out…
Waiting
The vet was just a bit late to do our PAP testing today. I wandered up to the junk pile. Yes, it was snowing. And windy. And cold. This old tractor is ready to plow. Except for having no tires. Or a workable engine. And there’s those four, rather large, sagebrush holding it in place……
Trap
Hi, guys! I feel like it need to clarify a few things… First, there’s no mistake in the fact that I still have a link to DeTye Vet Supply on my blog. They have asked to extend their sponsorship for another month, so… YAY! That will give you a quick link to go shop for…
#TBT: Gardening Dogs, v.2.0
This was first posted May 7, 2009. Do you know the old joke about the guy who wanted to be a turkey farmer??? He returned twice to the hatchery where he’d purchased his turkeys… each time saying all his turkeys had died. The third time the hatchery owner asked him specifically what he was doing…

Lookout!
While checking that cows had not discovered our incomplete fence, I stumbled across this unique feature. What from below appears to be a simple rock formation, from above is a totally different creation. Now, with my degree in anthropology, I was instantly fascinated! This overlooked the entire country. Was it a hunter’s blind? Was it…
