“When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, and the dimpling stream runs laughing by; When the air does laugh with our merry wit, and the green hill laughs with the noise of it.” -William Blake Voice of Joy
The Bestest Part
“No rest for the wicked, and the righteous don’t need any!” I grew up with that saying… I’m not sure where we fall, but after the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame party, it was back to work! On the agenda… weighing calves. We do this every year… getting an idea how our calves and breeding…
Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame, Part Two
I have to say that the induction ceremony for the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame was bigger and more impressive than I expected. This is only its third year of operation, and I can see that this will continue to grow. They hope to purchase a building at some point, so fundraising and memberships plus…
Two Grins
Well, we did it. A flying trip to Casper (four hours away), through off and on rain, to attend the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame induction ceremony. I started off with a final pysanky class Saturday morning up at Meadowlark Lodge IN THE SNOW. Well, we weren’t outside… but, yes… a significant snowfall… Then I…

Many of the mountain springs are “developed”, meaning they either have a water tank installed and/or a pipeline. Moving water to different places leads to cattle utilizing more areas to graze… and so, water is a…
Calf Work Video
I made a quick video from the other day. It shows Victoria, Daniel, and Brandon working a calf through the chute. The calf comes in, gets its vaccinations, a shot of mineral supplement, a wormer, and a nasal “flu” shot. It is out 30 seconds later. Calf Work from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Calves
So the baby calves are weaned, but there’s a few things we do… We run them through the alley and chute, vaccinating them, worming them, and giving them a shot of minerals to help them along. The plan was for everyone to be on deck working in the corral. Victoria’s husband, however, spotted some of…
Little More Preg
Today we worked our newly weaned calves… and… I left my camera outside in my garage, and I’m too lazy to walk out there, so I’ll share a little more from yesterday’s preg test. Daniel runs the vet’s hydraulic chute. It works tremendously well, but you have to put up with the running engine that…
