Tess and I went back to the barn and finished it up! Not that it doesn’t need reinforced, rebuilt, and rechinked, but we’ve done what we can until someone helps us put chicken wire up to stop critters from getting into the tack room. (unfortunately, lots of things like chewing on the salt residue left…
Family Resemblance
They do it without realizing… Every time they do, and we catch them at it, we girls laugh… but there’s plenty of times we find ourselves doing the same thing, and we’re not blood related! Is it because of our situation, lifestyle, or the fact that we spend so many hours together? There’s no doubt…
Preg Test Retreat
I went and reviewed my post from 2010… the Greet Ranch Annual Labor Day Preg Test Retreat … and not that much has changed! We don’t do it on Labor Day, well at least for the past few years, and we’ve spread the work out over days… Victoria and I were reminiscing about it last…
#TBT: Dusty Corral
This shot from the 1930’s shows a dusty corral and a head catch. The calves are little, and one guy might be holding a calf… at least that’s the position you take at branding to hold a calf. I’m not sure what’s going on… but the dusty corral was us on Wednesday! They weaned the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Git Her”
Git Her
Is She?
It’s that time of year. Pregnancy testing of our heifers and cows. This year we decided to split up our humongous work day into two. Today was spent on the heifers, gathering, trailing, and preg testing by the vet. The little girls were there to watch for a bit.
Back to the Barn
No, not Born in a Barn, but back to it. We started a remodel job of sorts a while ago. Tired of stacking saddles three high in our little tack room, we expanded it. However, we never really finished it. Tess and I attacked it and made good progress. Another day of sorting off old…
Go!
Meet the coming week head on… Let the wind blow your ears back and GO!
Crafting Ideas
This week will be filled with cow work, but before it all starts, I’m trying to get a few things started to donate to the library’s Harvest Dinner Auction. It’s not until October 13, but that just means it’ll be here before I know it… I’m looking into putting some of my photos onto unique…
Be Born In A Barn
When it comes to local festivals that I make it a point to attend… Born In A Barn comes in a solid second to Longmire Days, but it’s a totally different event. Here it’s all about repurposing, reinventing, and tons of artistic creativity! I mean, look! Old shovels and buckets and your holiday decor is…
#TBT: Deer Rescue
’Tis the season, or almost, so I thought I would just reshare a popular post of mine from 2015 instead of a historical photo. This is the story of two mule deer bucks, horns interlocked, and the intervention of me and the Wyoming Game and Fish. To the Rescue
