Curious Puzzle **** More questions for the Q&A? Post ’em now!
Girlies
We worked our yearling heifers today… weighing them, giving them shots and wormer. Hellooooo, girlies! We closely watch the girls weights… I know, I’m glad my weight isn’t public knowledge… The boys run this show… It’s over with fairly fast for the girls… though it took us most of the day! **** Any questions for…
Rimrock English Shepherds
I’d like to take you back… the year was 2006, even before I started writing this blog! This handsome little guy came into my life… and many, many things changed. First of all, I fell deeply in love with my English Shepherd. I jumped into all things “dog”. Not that I hadn’t been a dog…
Cowscowscows
Blue sky. We actually had Blue Sky! So, naturally, we worked cows. **** I guess it’s a new month… any questions out there for another Q&A post in a few days? Send me your questions… and I’ll answer them to the best of my ability!!! C’mon, don’t be shy!
Party On
While other areas of Wyoming (and just up the road from here) are dealing with a foot or more of new snow… we, luckily, escaped this storm. That’s OK. There’s plenty of moisture around. The guys moved a few cows this morning… and then, we had the party for little miss Lorelei. Three. She’s three!…
The Saga of Josephine
Pecking order. Have you ever wondered where that phrase came from? I suggest you watch some chickens, and it will quickly become apparent to you. There exists a hierarchy among chickens (and just about everything else that lives) and that order is enforced with their beaks. Enter poor little Josephine. She was the Bottom Rung,…

Old-fashioned Storm
We spent most of the day without power… no biggee there, I’m set with a gas stove for cooking and wood stove for heat… it does really impact what you can and can’t do though! First order of business was to save my bushes outside… Reaching high with a garden tool, I could shake the…
Then This
Yard work. Mowing, picking up. Even helping Tess with a project I didn’t get pics of… Then… .77″ of rain overnight. Then this… Five inches of heavy, wet snow pulling down my lilacs and cherry bushes. It’s still snowing! What a spring!
Soddy
Even the old bunkhouse loves all the rain…
Cowboyed Up
The rain continued this morning, but was predicted to clear, so we finally cowboyed up, saddled up, and began to work cows. We’re putting cattle out onto our BLM allotment. (That does NOT mean Black Lives Matter, it means Bureau of Land Management. Seeing “BLM” in headlines lately gets me confused! I get confused easily!)…
