Another day of gathering and trailing home… Morning sunrise adds a glow to Zip’s face… While we’ve had the use of this pasture for years, we’ve also had to adjust how we trail home through the neighbor’s fields. They’ve replanted and gained pivots… and what fallow fields we used to cross, are now lush hay…
Youth Rodeo
Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Tin Girl, and the Lion appeared with their escorts at Ten Sleep’s Youth Rodeo today. A couple of fishermen landed some really large black fish. There was plenty of roping and riding, playing and general fun… The kids had a wonderful time… and received some wonderful prizes. Thanks to all the…
Pretty Cool

Typical Day
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!

No surprise. Lucas. 2008.
