Picnics and hikes and fixing fence and elk.
Early Mornings
When it’s getting into the 90’s during the day, you move cows at sunrise to try to beat the heat. Lately, some of the mornings haven’t been that cool, either. The ol’ girls know it’s cooler up high, so they’re pretty ready to hike uphill! Thank goodness!

Heaven forbid! Tonight I can handle this… We…

Quick Introduction
