Now that all of our cattle were home, we needed to do some sorting. We have more work to do with our heifers, so we had to keep them separate. With six of us in the alley, the cows didn’t have a chance! Eartag numbers were called, Brandon and Johnny had collaborated on a list,…
Stormy Ride
After delaying our gather on our Mesa Pasture for two days, we had to do it today, come rain or shine… or snow. Yesterday, Daniel had pulled the pump from the creek, and the cows would have no water to drink. That left us no choice. We were bundled up… good thing, too. The day…
Birthday and Presents
Victoria and family were lucky enough to make it over the mountain to celebrate her birthday. We were also supposed to move cows, but decided not to due to the weather. That left plenty of time for cousins to play together… and brothers and sister to tease each other! The girls were happy to help…

Witchy
And her name is… RAVEN! I hope to give her a mascot at some point! She flies in the wind, by the way… and on Halloween I plan on putting some green glow in the dark sticks under her hat! oooooooooooooo…..
Witch
She needs to dry… and then some paint… but she’s done!
